[quote] The guy you want to be president voted against a bill that would have banned this practice because he was afraid the language went against Roe V Wade. I know we could all get into great debate over micro premies and infant mortality in the 21-24 week gestation range. The thing is that I doubt many of the people out there have ever been inside of a NICU or have ever seen upclose
Same as Leauki, and yeah - that's just negligence if not wilfull killing.
[quote]I'm kind of worried because this is one Democrat that makes sense to me.[/quote] It's alright, you can come over to the dark side. We've got cookies! :LOL: [quote]It's a wonder there hasn't been a revolt yet.[/quote] Most people are all talk and no action. Then again, those who've taken action (with a few exceptions) have been labelled radicals or worse. We're a nation of apathy and sedentary lives, sadly. &nbs
[/quote]No, but it's a state of mind. As proof, I am considered poor because I am not in the middle class and I have not made enough of an effort to change that and that is true.[/quote] I said mentality. Also, in the world we live in - it's difficult (and is becoming exceedingly more difficult) to rise higher. In the end you spend thousands of dollars and usually end up in some menial job that's not equivalent to how hard you've worked. Tis the way the world wo
[quote]I really can't understand why people can't just accept that God could have made life that evolved. Why do they have to be mutually exclusive ideas? [/quote] Exactly~ Thank you, finally I find someone who believes similarly.
[quote]You didn't address the ACORN issue. This has been spoken about before. What is your take on them "forcing"banks to make these loans by using "scare tactics"?[/quote] It doesn't necessarily force them, so much as it pressures them. However, in the end the banks do not have to do it. Granted, it's pushy and does put them in a bind. However...they can still cut back on the number of loans. [quote]I find it hard to believe that not 1 but multipl
[quote]Here's one thing I don't understand. Why do some believe that instituations like banks were somehow dumb enough to do this on their own knowing the consequences? Why would they purposely screw with their own business? That just doesn't make sense to me and it's obviously bad business practice. But then many keep ignoring what the Gov't did to make it easier to do this (thanks to the Democrats and their "we gotta help the little guy" mentality and ACORN for their very interesting ways t
[quote]t was irresponsible of them [to] have a business transaction with those who wouldn't be able to keep up with payments, default, and so on. The people [asking for it] on the other hand really need to think before they act (same can be said for the companies). Common sense, you don't borrow money when you can't afford it; likewise, you don't credit or lend someone money when you know damn well that they won't be able to pay it back, or will struggle and
[quote] #1 The credit crisis McCain takes the same view as Obama. Greedy wallstreet types. Bullshit. The vast majority of Americans are culpable here. If McCain were the straight talker he says he is, he would say into the camera that he has met the enemy and the enemy is us. How many people do you personally know that have significant credit card debt? How many people do you know have refinanced their homes in the last few years and now owe mo
KFC, there was a lot more to the whole Republican party at that time then you would think. They were the predominant party, and most blacks went with them because the Democrats were the party of the south, of "their former masters." The Republicans were actually split between those who truly and honestly favored emancipation and those who played it as a stunt. So, whie he may have been a Repbulican, I question the reason why. Was it because he truly aligned his beliefs with them, or wa
[quote]What right to privacy (your body) do you have? Can you legally commit suicide? No. Can you sell your organs? No. Can you put Cocaine, Heroine, LSD, Meth, etc into it legally? No. So what can you do with your body legally? Not a whole hell of a lot.[/quote] Which is particularly sad. I am by no means a fan of drugs, but if someone wants to use and abuse them, go for it. Survival of the smartest, lol. Seriously though, it's sad that when i
[quote]We have a similar system, it's called welfare, and has been a disaster. It only breeds reliance on government, and has for generations. People are rewarded for doing nothing.[/quote] Because the system was screwy. It's a hell of a bargain for those who want to live off of it, what we need is a system that encourages them to find work; Help them help themselves. (Key word: Help. Not support) [quote]it already exists. American "poor" have, on average, a ho
With all due respect KFC, I think this story simplifies things way too much. Not all Democrats, or bleeding hearts think the way this story goes. I'm a good example. Thanks for letting me comment. ~L
Palin does seem like an ideal politician, but I'll wait to see.
[quote]This is what makes America so great you are allowed to think and vote the way you want to, so am I. I am sure you would not like to see something you and your like thinking voters passed into law, wiped out by ONE JUDGE who thinks he knows better than million of foll that voted just like you, would you?[/quote] Do a million people know any better? Do half a billion people know any better? Again, take a gander at America during WW2 or Nazi Germany. It's like the saying, "If Jimmy
Something I'd like to add to this is something i've mulled over. Seemingly, those elements who wish for gays/lesbians to gain the same rights do not acknowledge the idea of gradual emancipation, whether through education or just letting time and nature do its thing. They seem to want it now, which, as history shows - is unlikely and absurd. Example being, Black and women's rights. It took years for these issues to be (somewhat) settled. I seriously think it's the best plan, educ
[quote] ya, it's called judicial tryanny. The solution? Get rid of those judges! They are afraid to let it come to a vote because just about everytime it does, these issues don't go the way they want. [/quote] As opposed to minority/majority tyrrany? Doesn't make either right. It's all the same; same wolf, different sheep costume. Until people as a whole can learn to truly live and let live, and not SHOVE their opinions, then nothing will
Lord almighty... He was born in Hawaii. How the hell does that not make him a natural born citizen? It doesn't, because he is. I'm sorry if you all don't want to hear it, but the facts are the facts. Concerning him being a so called Muslim or whether or not he is hiding his family and him being raised by a Muslim, oh well. What does it matter IF he was a Muslim? I'm sorry, I'm not so short sighted or paranoid. I really wouldn't care. Besides th
*rolls eyes so much they fall out and roll away* Ugh, be right back a second. *Runs off to get them, comes back couple minutes later* Right, as I was going to say: The obama is the anti-christ (or anything close to it) is paranoia. That's it.
Nothing like death to make one more aware of their mortality. Heh, I've actually been thinking about that myself, mostly due to my health and all. I'll be keeping your friend in my thoughts. ~Luca
*3) He's a decent man, and I respect him and his military service to his country. Also...if everyone is tired of the race issue, then why discuss it? Remember: If you discuss something, or give it attention, it stays around. Like with every megalomaniac, you have to just forget it. ~Luca
1) *Groans* Honestly, I think everyone is blowing this shite out of proportion. We've got one bunch who are seeing monsters in their closets and another who say the others are the monsters in the closets. Big F'ing deal, because both parties are the monsters; they've both royally screwed us, time and again. *Twirls right index finger around sarcastically.* Why don't we just forget about the boogyman "racism card" (ooh, so scary) and actu
Eh, I like Obama more than McCain. I don't agee with everything Obama says or has on his platform, but honestly, McCain just seems like a Bush-lite (which is odd given who/what he was years back). I would rather change horses than ride the same one with a different color. [quote]Anybody Europe loves, is enough for me to never vote for them.[/quote] ::Arches his eyebrows and just shakes his head, sighing:: I don't understand why, but whatever floats you
I have to agree with DrGuy and CharlesSC, it's a public place/government place, and as such there's a line seperating them. [quote]My feeling is it's been okay for eons and now all of a sudden we are abandoning all the things that made this country so good and respectful towards our creator.[/quote] We're not abandoning KFC, statistically religious people still make up a large part of this country; religion as a whole is doing just fine, if it's willing to coexist and not be for
It would depend. I would disagee with his action of killing a man, but it's not my place to judge him; it would be up to the law and God. I would still view him as a fellow being. ~SP
