The money spent for Kerry's book at this point doesn't actually go to Kerry, since it's out of print. 100% of the money, minus shipping and posting costs, goes to the owner of the book. You want to be upset at someone, be upset at them. Cheers

Title 4 of the US code, Chapter 1, section 8 states in part: a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress This has been interpreted to mean either actual distress or metaphorical distress. Cheers

I actually doubt that most MDs would turn to cosmetic practice, but that's something else entirely. Cheers

Tell me Monte, was does the United States code of Flag Ethics say about flying a flag upside down? Anyone Else? I'll post the answer here later when I get over the sheer stupidity of some of the posts I've been reading in this and other articles. Cheers

What Social worker in their right mind would suggest a program that would put her organization out of business? Most doctors I know would happily go out of business if it meant the end of disease. cheers

Adoption can be just as emotionally trying as abortion. I've never met any one who woke up one day and calmly said, "I'm going to get an abortion today". In fact, I know people who are in counseling for getting abortions. This is not an emotionally easy choice, no matter what other posters have said. Cheers

Arthur, read some books on the history of the Vietnam war, you weren't alive during the time, or perhaps you'd know some more of the history of the region. The Soviets only allied themselves with Vietnam after the United States refused to aid Ho Chi Minh against the French Colonial government. Cheers

Actually, if I were a good lawyer, and I was a very good lawyer, if you killed someone in self defense, I'd either have you behind bars, or walking free. Also, there is a difference between spanking and beating. A rod is a weapon, using it on a child is assault. A hand can also be a weapon. If you're the type of person who doesn't know when their hand has stopped being a disciplinary tool and become a weapon, you shouldn't spank. Oh, and t

Jeb, you're a normally rational person but your posts seem to be increasingly drifting to shrillness. My apologies Brad, I've been using sarcasm, something we all employ. My previously ongoing fight with Teachercreature has left my edges slightly frayed. Cheers

Actually because of the way that the world economy works, i.e. one country buying products from another country, the dollar falling has everything to do with world opinion. Cheers

Virtually all conservative christiasns use birth control (as do most other people) when having sex. Actually, that's not quite true. A large number of conservative christians don't use birth control. Virtually all eliminates the possibility that a lot of Christians are Catholics, which expressively fo

I think you misunderstood, I know that abstinance works in practice, the problem is, that teaching abstinance only does not eliminate premarital/extramarital sex. Cheers

Reply to Women Deserve Better Than Abortion in Politics JoeUser Forums

I agree! The problem is that most people who are opposed to abortions are also opposed to any form of sex education that teaches anything besides abstinance. I have no problem with abstinance, but the thing is, it doesn't work. Cheers

Actually, that's a good point, we should institute some kind of, I don't know, Eugenics program, for the undesirables, after all, the conservative christians say we can't use condoms or the Pill either, so let's just rip out those poor people's ovaries and testicles!! Cheers

Not quite true. No one supported the Confederacy. The English were courted by the South, but in the end the English knew they could get their cotton cheaper from those places that were still their colonies. Cheers
