Shared publicly -Yesterday, members of Ukrainian feminist group Femen staged protests across Europe as they called for a "topless jihad." The demonstrations were in support of a young Tunisian activist named Amina Tyler. Last month, Tyler posted naked images of herself online, with the words "I own my body; it's not the source of anyone's honor" written on her bare chest. The head of Tunisia's "Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice," reportedly called for Tyler to be stoned to death for her putatively obscene actions, lest they lead to an epidemic.

Good point, Jason. Posing topless is just the same as oppressing women.

He's linking it out of context. If you read more you'll find that it only applies to SOT holders since 1986. they called it a 'loophole' and 'fixed' it.
But one cool obscure thing that actually is true, is that 37mm launchers aren't even guns. Totally unregulated. ;-)

Yes, don't protect workers because people don't want to work. We work because we must, but people really just want to live, grow and achieve their dreams. We need to find a way to live as a society with very little or no labor force which could mean a return to the society we had before the industrial revolution albeit a much more high tech one.

Mexico is that low? How come there are all the news of continuous drug war with shootings all the time?

This may, as matter of fact it will, sound controversial for me to say this but tax laws will not be updated or reformed to ignore marital status simply because.. It is yet another tool to sustain a country population growth and culture by creating incentives for marriage..
