		<title>That Background Checks Would Reduce Gun Violence, Is Common Sense</title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129083-that-background-checks-would-reduce-gun-violence-is-common-sense/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">40% of sales do not have background checks. if we can have mere checks, lives will be saved. it's common sense that not all people are black hoodies who will stop at nothing to get a gun. if they dont have a gun when theyd do their crime, a crime will be prevented.</span><br><br><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">studies without question prove that if you have a gun in your home, you and others are more likely to be hurt because of it. it's so incontrovertible that offiials always recommend getting rid of your gun if you want to be safer. if this is true, it makes sense that limiting who has a gun, or the easiness of getting a gun, will reduce violence and mishaps.</span><br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">this shows that people are denied because of background. it shows that peopele are arrested because of background. it shows that people often don't buy guns, because it is illegal for them to have them.&nbsp;</span><br><a href='http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/stats-show-background-checks-are-effective/article_ac6626fd-8bf5-55d7-83cf-d464e379000a.html' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='external'>http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/stats-show-background-checks-are-effective/article_ac6626fd-8bf5-55d7-83cf-d464e379000a.html</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<br><p  style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;">you may say youself "most" of those checks are annoyances. that means not all of em are. and you say bad people will find a way to get a gun, but to say what i said before, not all of them will. bob is violent prone. he can't get a gun legally. so he doesn't. when he goes off and doesn't have a gun, someone is saved. this is simple common sense. sometimes people like bob will get the gun, sure. not always. in fact id guess not usually. again most people are not black hoodies who will stop at nothing to get a gun.&nbsp;</p>
<p  style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;"><span  style="font-size:14px">even if some livesa saved wasn't statistically significant, it's still lives saved. it can only help. but it's more than statistically significant. it's obivous that it'd help reduce gun violence.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<br><p><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">if there's any question that some control will result in some lives saved why not err on the side of caution and at least have checks?</span><br><br><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">there's no question checks would be helpful, and at the very least give more checks a shot</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">-----------------------------</span></p>
<p>the following shows that gun control in general has worked. i wont dispute that other studies show sometimes it doesn't work etc... but it's evidence never the less.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">-they did massive control in australia in 1996. since then they have had no mass shootings, whereas before they had almost one per year. homicides are down like fifty percent. etc etc.</span><br>
-<span  style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">japan has massive controls and relatively has almost no gun murders, very small.</span></p>

		<title>Angels And Holy Communion.</title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129220-angels-and-holy-communion/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Okay everyone I have a question about Ministers of Holy Communion.<br><br><br>
The three children at Fatima received holy communion from the Angel of the Lord before seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary. I am sure through out history there have been other cases of Angels doing the same thing, however since it is not a oridinary thing to happen, what would that Angel's be considered?<br><br>
Holy Angels are perfect and Holy, and have no sin, therefore surpass a Ordinary Minster of Holy Communion's level of Holiness, rather it is a Deacon, Priest, Bishop, or even the Pope himself. But they are not the regular ministers of holy communion unlike deacons, priests, and bishops, they at the sametime cannot be called Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, because they are not the Lay people or have not received ordination of any kind. Rather that they are Messagers of of the Blessed Holy Trinity and do not often give out Holy Communion on a regular basis.<br><br><br>
The idea that it is a extraordinary event when this happens, it is obviously a <strong>"miracle" It doesn't take place often and it is supernatural in a firm grounded reality.<br><br><br>
So angels are holy purely intellectual spirits that message from God to Man throughout time and history to give the knowledge of God's plan for humanity......</strong><br>
&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p>Later that year in the autumn, the third and last vision ocurred when the children took their sheep to the same place where the first apparition took place. There in the blessed place of the Cabeço, they were reciting the prayer the Angel had taught them when above them an unknown light appeared. Lucia relates,<br><br>
“We got up again to see what was happening, and we saw the Angel again, who had in his left hand a Chalice over which was suspended a Host, from which some drops of Blood fell into the Chalice.”</p>
<p>Leaving the Chalice and the Host suspended in the air, he prostrated himself down to the earth near the children and repeated a prayer three times.Then, getting up, the Angel took the Chalice and Host. He gave Lucia the Sacred Host on the tongue. Then while giving the Precious Blood from the Chalice to Francisco and Jacinta, he said:<br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Eat and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.” Then, prostrating himself on the ground he repeated with the children three times the same prayer: Most Holy Trinity, etc., and disappeared.</p>
<p>This final apparition of the Angel was clearly the summit of the three, as the children were graced to see the Precious Blood of Our Lord fall from the Sacred Host into the Chalice, and then receive Holy Communion from the hands of the Angel.<br><br><br><a href='http://www.fatimafamily.org/fatima-apparition-of-the-angel/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='external'>http://www.fatimafamily.org/fatima-apparition-of-the-angel/</a></p>

		<title><![CDATA[What Are The Worst Arguments You've Ever Seen Or Heard?]]></title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129154-what-are-the-worst-arguments-youve-ever-seen-or-heard/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;I think we need a thread on logical fallacies: strawmen, non sequiturs, bandwagon appeals, red herrings, etc---arguments that don't hold up, arguments that are illogical. So what are some of these bad arguments? What are the worst arguments you have ever seen or heard, on any subject, topic or issue? And why don't they hold up?</p>

		<title>Google Chrome Problem</title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129224-google-chrome-problem/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey all,

Do some of you use Google Chrome?  I have found that sometimes when I'm surfing the page won't load correctly, very basically.  If I refresh the page, it will load properly.  Is this isolated to just me?  Any recommendations on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks.]]></description>

		<title>Some Exciting News I Want To Share</title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129197-some-exciting-news-i-want-to-share/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been offered a contract to sell my pictures in someone's stained glass/art/locally designed and crafted jewelry shop. <br><br>
I am really excited.  It's in Nebraska and I was there last summer and learned that I actually do have a little bit of an artistic side. Lol.  Anyway, she saw my photos and asked if I would be interested in selling them in her shop. I honestly never thought anyone would look at them and say "I want your pictures to hang in my shop. You know right next to all the real art and the beautiful glass creations" but she did! <br><br>
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. And I just wanted to share. <br><br><br>

		<title>A Miracle</title>
		<link>http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/129210-a-miracle/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>So, where I'm from, taxes are outrageously high. $3,500, to be precise. We have been wondering how we are expected to pay this, and have been doing many, many novenas. This morning, my dad got in his truck, and he found an envelope with a letter in it. The letter explained that whoever sent the check was "blessed by God", and had been given a lot of money. He said that he knew we needed it, so he decided to give us a blessing, too. In the envelope was $3,500 in $100 bills. No names are given or anything, so we have no clue who gave us the money.</p>
