And the liberal notion that we are forcing our culture down the world's collective throat is hogwash - any country could ban McDonald's if they wanted to, for example. Problem is, the Ubisoft's of the world don't want us to retaliate so they allow US businesses to operate. And if the locals didn't eat at McDonald's they'd close up & go home. The notion that they have no ot
It is beautiful. In fact, my resistance broke and I bought one today! I might be out of eighty dollars, but at least I'll shut up about the subject now!
ollege is ABOUT taking you OUT of your "comfort zone" and preparing you for the real world. Yes, the real world, where people have different opinions, different backgrounds, and different viewpoints. How is exposing students to other cultures INCONSIDERATE? Because we should only be teaching them about their own cultures? About ideas they already accept? The very suggestio
Thanks for this responsive article. I read the other one, hoping for an honest and heart felt exploration and instead found your basic liberal bashing agenda. This article, while being fairly "anti-conservative" is much more thoughtful, and much less hateful. And you don't think you find this anti-conservative article more thoughtful and less hat
Liberals like to spend other people's money. No, the difference is that liberals are just not nearly as money-conscious as conservatives. We make life choices that don't lead to material wealth. Just because we tend to choose careers that involve enriching our culture, teacher our children, and protecting the defenseless doesn't make us less valuable or have less of a say
At first, I thought your response was a response from a liberal on that site aware of how hypocritical and ignorant they are acting. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it isn't.
From what I read, he never ever states that he wasn't talking about the US. Although he's not focusing his remark entirely on the US, he is most likely referring to them too. Of course, it might be a coincidence that the percent of GDP he mentioned is about the same percent of GDP that the US dedicates to foreign assistance.
I want to buy Mario Pinball Land . Haven't heard of it? I'll describe it to you. It's one of the most frustrating games I've ever played! I enjoy pinball, and I enjoy adventures, but I do not enjoy pinball adventures. They mix as well as fried chicken and ice cream. In other words, some people will enjoy it, but most will think that a fried chicken sunday is a bad idea. But
Two hours later, the conservative sits at home, very happy with himself for having done his good deed for the day. Meanwhile, back at the lights a hundred old ladies wait for their chance to cross the road, but alas there were no conservatives about. Then along came the liberal with news of the new legislation he had had passed to get them all across. <
I thoroughly disagree. It's not just her body, it affects others, beginning with the twin children. They are not, or at least will not be a part of her body, they will be real people, placed in an unbelievably difficult situation, before they even have time to mature enough to cope with it. So, the government should have the right to force an a
It's the woman's choice though. Sure, it's unethical, and it's wrong, but as long as it's happening her body, nobody has a right to tell her what to do with it. To tell her she can't have a child would be like telling any other woman that they can't have a child and then force an abortion on her.
Its been posted on other threads. If you're too lazy to look then you're too lazy. There's so many threads though. If you could just tell me the name of one with the quote, that'll be enough for me.
Much of the material I use I gather myself, but, ironically, most of the religious texts come right out of our mainstream high school textbook. We spend quite a bit of time contrasting the worldviews of Kafka and Nietzsche to that of scripture. I didn't realize that high schools also allowed requiring the reading of religious texts. If that's the
are you serious???? your comparing the hurricanes that hit florida this year to a Tsunami that killed some 50,000 people??? When you are the wealthiest and most self reliant country in the world you do not have the same need for foreign monetary aid as others. You are correct the United States can only give so much, to the world. That's true.
I'm sorry for your predicament but you have to understand, but you have to accept that women are becoming obsolete. Now's the time to learn some new skills!
Thanks, greywar! I'm quite honored by that. I just hope I'm discussed in a positive light. I honestly can't figure out how your post applies to the topic, fox_in_the_snow. However, I believe in your fight, and will too fight to bring back the tan M&Ms!
You are pretty! I'm not a lesbian either, although I wish I were.
College or not, the government should not be preaching religion, which it is doing when employees of a public college funded by the government is forcing their students to read religious texts.
The debate has always been in strategies,not in the simplistic terms of being a pacifist vs. a warmongerer, as you would have other people believe, since application of the wrong strategy would lead to unnecessary loss of more American lives. I disagree. There are many who believe that it's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time. To t
I love my pets. I love each one of them. Sure, Marge pisses me off when she’s being a bitch, and Sonic gets a swift slap to the butt when he’s chewing the carpet, but I still give them the kisses. I let Serena rest her fat butt on my valuables even though she refuses to get along with the dogs, and I don’t think any less of
I wonder if people would be less prone to lash out at others online if everybody's picture was next to their words. That might remind them that they're talking to an actual human being and not in some video game talking to some AI enemy they must destroy. Yet more proof that we need to issue Internet Usage Licenses... the test would be part intelligence test, part
I understand the "n" word to be like "honey" or "baby." I'm sure a man's wife wouldn't mind him calling her "honey" or "baby," but if a stranger were to call her that, it wouldn't be as well-received. Like with many other words, the relationship is a factor.
When I was younger, I blamed everything on Christians. The injustices in my life were caused by Christians and their intolerant and judgmental attitudes. After hearing some wonderful words by Kirk Franklin though, I could no longer hate Christians. That's when I became a vegan... Omnivores were the cause of all the world's problems. Their insensitivity to our fellow neighbors and their fat asses sickened me. I didn't like the half-ass vegetarians wh
Why do people believe that men such as Jerry Falwell represent more than a tiny percentage of Christians? Some even believe that zealots like him were responsible for winning the election in Bush's favor! Supposedly, it's because of the lack of outcry against the likes of him from more moderate Christians. Supposedly, it's their responsibility to tell the world, "He doesn't represent us." I'll accept that, but what does that mean for other groups? Islam is called the religion of peace, d
Those on the far left, who proclaim love, peace, and tolerance, compare the war in Iraq to the war in Vietnam. They draw such a parallel that I see it as portent to how they will treat the soldiers when they return. Will they, in the name of love, open-mindedness, and enlightenment, treat the troops returning from Iraq as cruelly as they treated the soldiers returning from Vietnam? I believe so. Sure, they'll claim otherwise. They'll say they support the troops, but do they really? They i
