[quote]the crash is sad news but it carries a certain irony.[/quote] what's incredibly ironic is those calling or believing themselves to be "pro-life" taking even an iota of satisfaction or justifying the death of innocent children about whose existence as human beings there is no question whatsoever.
[quote]Anything too hard for God?[/quote] god said to abraham, kill me a son. abe said man, you must be puttin me on. god said no. abe said what? god said you can do what you want abe, but the next time you see me comin you better run. abe said where you want this killin done? god said out on highway 61. --robert zimmerman
[quote]I think this was one of those times that we're kidding only ourselves when we call this a coincidence. [/quote] yeah. first of all, it happened on sunday. secondly, it caused the death of young children. thirdly, if man was meant to fly, he woulda been created with wings. sure sounds like god hadda hand in it.
[quote]One cannot even read their e-mail without the possiblility that Big Brother is Watching. Today in America you can no longer live without fearing what you neighbors might see or say. You can no longer know if the person living beside you is a safe person to know.

[quote]silent voices[/quote] religion has always invested far too much in voices only it claims to hear.
[quote]I support peoples right to get plastic surgery, or tattooing, or medically supervised treatment for drug addiction. I wouldn't do any of those things myself. That makes me pro-those things, in that I'm against banning them (and support peoples right to use them).[/quote] if you believe people have a right to engage in sexual activity with others of the same sex, that makes you pro-homosexual? i have no interest in tattooing, plastic surgery or sex with other males nor w
[quote]It's my opinion that President Obama's plan of diplomacy has been proven to yield no results what so ever[/quote] try something and if it doesn't work immediately, discard it as failure? you generally resolve all your problems this way? if so, your life must be such a longass wild ride it turns mr toad green with jealousy
[quote]The Culture of Death is insane, and there has to be a way to get someone to step back from the brink[/quote] my earliest childhood memories include preparation for imminent nuclear attack. for decades my--and i suspect this is true of everyone who lived in what used to be thought of as 'the first world" from 1950 thru the mid-1990s, was more aware than, say, a rock or tree, and occasionally turned on the radio/tv, picked up a paper or went to movies--life was marginalized
[quote]For all you pro-abortionists, I have a few questions originally posed by Dr. Bahra of Michigan.[/quote] once again, for those who've somehow managed to miss or have chosen to ignore this point: supporting access to legal abortions is worlds different from being pro-abortion--just as supporting access to legal plastic surgery or tattooing or medically supervised treatment for drug addicion is not the same as being pro-plastic surgery, pro-tattooing or pro-addiction.

[quote]My husband, and all his troops, had all the proper equipment. I know that is not what the media reported at the time, so they obviously found some member's who didn't. My husband has deployed to Afghanistan/Iraq over seven times now (one of the first guys on the ground in Afghanistan when we went in) and always had proper equipment.[/quote] to the best of my knowledge, the unarmored humvees and body armor deficiencies were unique to iraq and were reported that way.
[quote]mostly those named Daiwa[/quote] then we're all doomed. daiwa and i don't often agree (which is kinda funny considering it's highly likely each of us considers himself both adherent and guardian of the au h20 legacy). i do sincerely appreciate his intelligence, tenacity, excellent sense of humor, rationality, innate skepticism and, not last nor least, his admirably gracious demeanor. he also had--may still have--a hot ride. besides which, his
[quote]Looked pretty damn straightforward to me[/quote] had it been worded: "politicians say some outrageous things like the AIG executives should commit suicide" i'd have no quibble. qualifying those politicians who "say some outrageous things like the AIG executives should commit suicide" as "mostly democrats" when, in fact, those outrageous things were said by a republican senator is about as straightforward as astrazeneca suggtesting seroquel helps patients
[quote]Well, at least if its in the Globe, we don't have to take it seriously.[/quote] i dunno. last december they devoted a cover to michelle obama's outrage over oprah movin in on barak.
[quote]See KB, reading the whole sentence isn't that hard.[/quote] i read the whole sentence and realized immediately you were twisting words in hope of conforming fact to your point. so i thought i'd do my part to keep it real.
[quote]Woohoo, now this is true journalism[/quote] just one more example of the mainstream media taking its cue from the blogosphere.

[quote]I knew that movie was actually a training film for The best, of The best, of The best. :~D[/quote] or for the adaptation of the globe's cover story. i'm thinkin a title that borrows from "12 angry men" with "men in black" with an up-to-the-moment update: maybe "100s of angry men and women in cami...and mrs. phil". ("eight baptisms and a funeral" also strikes me as solid box-office.)

[quote]I mourned for this child. It hit me like any other death in the family. [/quote] i sincerely sympathize with you and your loss. i've no doubt it was painful and you grieved. i won't presume to tell you how or what you felt. still, there are significant differences between any other death and a miscarriage. most obvious of which would be a total dearth of existential experience. in many ways the most apt analogy is between we the living and tho
[quote]In its origins, it was entirely a disease of sodomites, generated in and by anal intercourse. [/quote] in its origins, hiv was--and remains--a viral infection common to non-human primates, specifically chimpanzees. while there's no conclusive evidence proving how this virus was first transmitted to humans, most authorities theorize (hold onto your mitre) this virus "evolved" to exploit human hosts. it's a process known as zoonosis, one familiar to anyone whose contracted
