Man, this thread has degenerated into a massive cut & paste fest... that target post above though is pretty alarming...

I often feel the same way when I engage in online topics such as this, I would have tried to express my own view of the things I bring to the table but feel that if I provide the link to whatever the point may be as well as cut/paste the article itself for whomever to peruse, whereas I think if it's just the link and a witty sentence or two that most may not want to take the time to see whatever the point or fact may be.
Another example (kinda/sorta) is whenever my wife who is on Facebook posts a cutesy animal pic or something that is non confrontational and does not require one to think she gets a ton of 'likes' or a myriad of vacuous comments...
but if she posts something such as several links found in this thread or anything that makes a person stop, think and apply critical thinking to a topic, she has found over time that people tune out and/or make disparaging comments that practically scream their cognitive dissonance thru the monitor.
As well most get caught up in a Hegelian Dialectic of whats what and that is not my intention.

I know what you mean. I don't use FB currently, but when I did, the pseudo-intellectual garbage people would spout was always amusing and/or infuriating, usually both.

I came across this vid/article and being a tinfoil hat wearing kinda guy who does not trust ANY government/multinational corporation ,etc, etc.
I figured I'd post it here to see what my fellow Buellers think....

Dr. Jim Garrow is a renowned author and whistleblower who has been nominated for a Nobel peace prize for his humanitarian work. He is the author of The Pink Pagoda: One Man's Quest to End Gendercide in China.
He has spent over $25 million over the past sixteen years rescuing an estimated 40,000 baby Chinese girls from near-certain death under China's one-child-per-couple policy by facilitating international adoptions. He is the founder and executive director of the Bethune Institute's Pink Pagoda schools, private English-immersion schools for Chinese children. Today he runs 168 schools with nearly 6,300 employees.
Dr Garrow was recently contacted by a high ranking military official who implored him to reveal the truth about a "litmus test" that is being proposed by the Obama administration to the military asking the question "will you shoot Americans if they won't give you their guns?
Will You Shoot..

Bottom line I don't want my person weapons taken away. With that in mind, all this target shooting of Americans etc. It's a failed attempt at overcoming the inability to pull the trigger on a person that isn't your typical target. When you look at a child you see an innocence that can't be overwritten, until you see one pointing a weapon at you. At that point you have to get past the fact that they are a child and instead recognize them as a threat to humanity(any part of it they wish to pull the trigger on). Honestly that kind of action is traumatic and probably isn't easy to work through if at all.
Bottom line is that everyone is entitled to their opinion, with that being said you can read into any news article however you want. At some point you've got to put information out there and let people decide for themselves. The fear mongering needs to stop though..... IMO. Not that it's being done here or anything but when a Police Department buys targets, I honestly feel that they know more about what they're doing than any of us do(unless of course you're a cop). On top of that I highly doubt your average American Law Enforcement officer is going to be pursuaded to pull the trigger on anyone they don't see as a threat. But then again that means they have to think on their own rather than follow the beat of the drum, just remember both sides are swinging the drum sticks.
