[quote]Didn't take you long to revert to your normal habit of quoting things I never said. You basically seem to be arguing it's better for the government to spend 3 times as much on child benefits with those children being spread over several families than it is to make those child benefits be used in the most efficient manner (assuming you don't want children+their parents out on the streets starving, which thinking about it is probably a fairly big assumption), since I'm arguing for the 'm

[quote who="maudlin27" reply="8" id="2057883"] One that's as bankrupt as England How'd you figure that one out? In 2007 US debt was ~65.5% of GDP. UK debt was ~43.8% of GDP, so if anyones bankrupt, it's the US, not England. Also why are you complaining? Is it not cheaper to have a parent looking after lots of children at once instead of only a few? If you have 3 kids you'll either need to not work to see to them, or get childcover while
So the octuplet mom now has 14 kids. or, perhaps I should say, the people of California now have 8 more. Now, I have little doubt that most people would call it just a tad unethical, and in some places illegal, for any doctor to implant that many embryos at one time, in a woman who can't afford the 6 she already has. It's one thing to HAVE 8 kids at one time; that can't be helped, if nature takes that course. But to have 8 embryos IMPLANTED? &nb

[quote]but I know brewers baseball, so I know how it going so long without playoffs or even a ring...so gotta choose the little guy [/quote]---Well, as for baseball; 2009 makes 30 years since The Bucko's won the series, let alone even made it. I'm starting to understand how the Cubs and Sox fans felt. I mean, the Steelers had a long dry spell there, too; their last Super Bowl win before 2006 was in 1979. "The Year of the Champions", I remember it well. Pittsburgh had these big
[quote who="the_Peoples_Party" reply="17" id="2046611"]Rightwinger, an answer to your question is because the name of G-D is sacred. In the Tanack G-D and L-RD would be written in this manner in order to prevent the desecration of HIS Holy Name. [/quote] Well, okay....but for the record, God's name (at least, the Judeo-Christian God) is Yahweh. "Capital-g God" is just a general refernce to Yahweh.
LW: The Urban Mission isn't like that, as far as I know. They honestly help people who need help; all they require is that you try and help yourself, too. And though they do have services there, no one's required to attend just to get the help. Like forcing them to sit through a sermon just to get food would convince anyone to accept Jesus, anyway. I know people who have recovered from drug and alcohol addictions, but they had to do it themselves.
[quote who="maudlin27" reply="4" id="2046526"] the fact of insane Obama worship is a hard fact. A contributor to my local paper, one among many, saw changes in the public mood the day after the election. Everyone was "smiling more" and "seemed happier". The sun was brighter, the angels were singing....blah, blah, blah.....nonetheless, Obama's stimulating effect on our better angels seems to be a myth. Just ask the dead homeless guy A "fact" of insane
[quote who="Zoologist03" reply="5" id="2045521"] not yet. Heh. I've yet to see something new just pop into existence.

[quote who="Zoologist03" reply="1" id="2045217"]It's not related to Revelations. Those are crazy scorpion locusts that don't exist. These people just want to release actual locusts...though I would be interested in how they could release a significant number(they're grasshoppers until they start to behave in swarm)...I'd imagine it'd be costly as they are freaking ravenous. One of our locust species went extinct awhile back, the Rocky Mountain locust. <b
[quote who="Artysim" reply="2" id="2045266"]This is a sad story indeed. But playing connect the dots to make a tragedy into a political point is in very poor taste. If you're gonna do that, make sure there's a direct link, like in the case of Jim D Adkisson, who walked into a church in tennessee and started shooting people, a church that he targeted because of it's liberal stance (there's no connecting the dots here, Adkisson left a letter in his car stating his hatred of the libera
As a kind of corollary to my last post, Check this out: http://news.aol.com/article/people-igno ... eet/325776 Wow...and here, all this time, I thought that Obama's ascension to the Throne and its accompanying do-gooder vibe was supposed to suddenly make us all care about each other, and help each other, and want to stand around
[quote who="little-whip" reply="6" id="2045008"]Most street people I've known don't rely on government aid to survive because you gotta have an address (and a lot of verification of your circumstances) to even apply. Just thought I'd let ya know. [/quote] Yes, that may be true, but I also referenced charities, like for example, the Urban Mission over here in Steubenville, OH. Those people are pretty savvy; like most such organizations, I'm sure, they
[quote who="Moderateman" reply="3" id="2044847"]Liberals want to take care of {you} using other people money, conservative want {you} to take care of yourself. Conservatives out give liberals charity wise about 4 to 1. [/quote] No, liberals want to "take care of {you}" by telling {you} what to do and how to live. Modman! I'm surprised at you! 4-1, indeed! Everyone knows conservatives are heartless, stingy a-holes who couldn't care less about the poor and help
[quote who="highlander" reply="1" id="2044779"]As a trade-off we endure the rightwing media to further scare us into submission. [/quote] Nice argument[e digicons]:|[/e] ....truth hurts, don't it? I love that mindset, though; conservatives are accused of ignoring the plights of the masses, while liberals use those plights as tools, hysterically calling attention to every minor problem and blowing it utterly out of proportion.

It's pitiful, really, how shameless some will be, when it comes to the war of ideas. Truth and clarity are often secondary considerations, when it comes to obtaining funds and winning hearts and minds. For example: To be considered “hungry” in America, you must miss at least….one meal a month. That’s right, that’s the standard; one meal in 30 days, to be cons
Look; I sit here in my home in West Virginia, having spent seven years, secure on my home soil. This is because the Bush Administration had done well; they held down the Islamic nutjobs and savages, keeping them in their own part of the world, by invading Iraq. Now we have Obama, bleeding heart, socialist liberal who wants us out of Iraq for one reason: Bush was too successful there, despite the negative "this war is lost" rhetoric and blatant legislative
[quote]That's just a bald-faced lie and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.[/quote]---Daiwa Exactly; that's the hallmark of a good conservative....they're open to other input, as long as it makes sense and holds with the facts at hand. It's liberals who aren't open to facts and common sense. Witness global warming hysteria in a season of record low temperatures and snowfalls. It snowed in Dubai, for God's sake!

My wife was kind of ho-hum, as far as the internet goes. She checks her mail infrequently, and maybe checks realtors sites (we're looking for a house). Then she discovered Facebook. I now have to wait my turn on the puter. Thanks, Facebook. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
My personal favorite is the painting of "Barack Obacca". Our President as a Wookie of Kasshyykk is just sooo coool!
You know, the Nazis actually passed an "anti-kitsch law", prohibiting stuff like this......(click link) Wonder if the Obama Regime will do the same? (By the way, you do realize what the first item displayed is, right?)
[quote]Actually, I believe we are seeing the culmination of misguided and ultimately fatal policies that began more than eighty years ago. Roosevelt's bunch didn't have a clue what might work to end the depression so they threw everything but the kitchen sink at it for nearly a decade without making a dent in it. World War II bootstrapped us out of it & the New Deal took the credit, even though nothing about the New Deal did squat to get us back on our feet. The expansion of government
