Okay Freepers, this is pretty straight forward, I need advice on a good stun gun or taser gun for my daughter. My daughters school is going on a class trip to San Francisco in March… Any Questions? Personally, I would like to send her with an M-16, Nerve Gas and Daisy Cutters, given the shear mass of human and sub-human garbage that calls San Francisco home, however that probably isn’t an option and my wife and I have concluded that a stun gun would probably be a reasonably good alternative… however I know absolutely nothing about stun guns. And down ...

RAWALPINDI, PAKISTAN - Special prayers for peace were heard in churches throughout Pakistan Sunday, where an increasing number of Christians are nervous about a backlash against the West. Many Muslims have staged angry demonstrations against the government's decision to help the United States in its hunt for the people responsible for this month's terrorist attacks. The frequent use of words like "jihad," the Muslim term for Holy War, is making the tiny minority of Christians in Pakistan apprehensive. And U.S. President George W. Bush's reference to a "crusade" has only fuelled the fears, as it evoked images of ancient religious ...

I understand why Jim Jeffords is leaving, I am not defending his actions, but absolutely no one should be surprised by this situation, I understand the position he is in, with my previous employer I found myself in a parallel situation, Loyalty requires Reciprocity, Jeffords has been snubbed by the white house, treated poorly by other republicans, his personal agenda is ignored, like it or not, he was elected as a Republican and his agenda should at the very least be given the same consideration as any other members agenda. My previous employer was taken over in 1997, At the ...

Remember Lord of the Flies? We all read it in school. A bunch of boys on a desert island, slowly returning to the savagery and bestial behaviour of their evolutionary forebears. Well, apparently many people didn't see it as a cautionary tale, but more as a training manual. Call me lucky, but I've now been front and centre at two events which make it evident that this thing we proudly call civilization is nothing but the thinnest of veils. Woodstock 99 and Mardi Gras 2001. Separated by time and geography, but not by years of evolution. And proof that, given ...

Its leading edge technology coats the weapon in bubbles so water never touches the torpedo itself. Defence analyst David Rudd with the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies says the weapon drastically changes the reaction time of enemy targets. Rudd says he's surprised the Canadian ...
