[quote]I'd have appreciated knowing in advance that debating with you would jeopordise my stardock account. [/quote] Debating won't jeopordize anything. Personal attacks will indeed do the trick but that should be a no brainer and not need to be spelled out or reminded. If you are too stupid to follow that simple rule, you don't belong here.

[quote]in regards to the mass implantation, if i remember correctly, they implant about 10 eggs, usually only a few take, and in the rare case that more than 2 take they abort the others. [/quote] No, that's not the way it works. The common practice with a woman as young as this is to only implant a max of 3 embryos. The ultimate goal is 1 baby at a time. I don't know anyone who would suggest going in and aborting if all 3 took. When there are more than 3, that'

[quote]Theres a certain amount of "I told ya so" satisfaction that comes along with having Obamas actual intentions confirmed so early, but now I just hope that we can survive the damage he will do to our country for the next 4 years until we can get him out of office.

[quote]Compassion", whatever is is today, is not as good as actual help. "Bitterness" is better than knowing what others must do.[/quote] very well said. [quote] Are all Republicans as bitter, hateful, and uncompassionate?[/quote] 1) Where did he claim to be a Republican and speak for Republicans? 2) Where do you see hate in this? Hate is a very strong word that gets thrown around without thought too often. I'm trying to get that through to my 8yr old b

[quote] But I'm sick of hearing the uber rich whine about how hard it is to be them.[/quote] I missed the part where anyone was whining. LW has just lost her mind bitching about how she's a "have not" and anyone who has more than her has no right to complain about anything. Not knowing what she's talking about doesn't prevent her from spewing at every opportunity even when it means hijacking threads to spew it. [quote]As disgusting as the proposition is, would I rath

kingbee, your argument is exactly what I can't understand about Pres. O's following. They all HATED Bush and everything he did, said or touched. Obama is supposed to be the anti-Bush but when he does or says the same thing Bush did, you get the "Well he was already doing the same thing for 8yrs" excuse. You have your claims of "Change" but it's the same old politics wrapped in a different colored package. This President can't even build a cabinet! If a Republic

[quote]Those pre-packaged heat-wrap thingies, (Therma-care, I think they're called) work pretty well too, retaining their heat for hours on end, making them well worth their relatively high cost.[/quote] These really do work well because they stick right to you and stay put and last a really long time. I use them and sometimes that's the only way I can get through the day with the 2yr old. I literally feel your pain. I somehow hurt my lower back (probably lifti

[quote]I don't remember him getting suspended when he was caught drunk driving - which, as far as I'm concerned, is a MUCH bigger deal.[/quote] I was unaware. Maybe he got suspended now because it wasn't his first incident of breaking the law.

[quote]I also want to snatch that chocolate bar out of his hand and snack on it! [/quote] He said there were lots of kids trying to steal his chocolate. At the end of the day he handed out Hersheys kisses to the students and gave half of his big chocolate bar to his teacher. He even shared a little piece with his sister.

[quote]The only reason pot isn't legal is because the gov't can't figure out a way to make money from it.[/quote] The issue here isn't whether or not pot should be legal...it isn't. He did something illegal. I bet if he got caught stealing, assaulting someone or some other crime he'd get suspended. He's a kid. He did something stupid. He got "punished". That's the way it should work. I don't blame sponsors for dropping him either. He's

[quote]what a great costume! [/quote] Thanks. We got the hat and mustache at a party supply store, the shirt from a children's resale shop, he had a tie and he folded up my kitchen apron to fit him.

Today our son Ryan’s class had a “Wax Museum”. They all dressed the part of a historical person and gave a one minute speech whenever a person came up and pushed their “button”. Ryan was Milton Hershey and was very popular :) <img title="019" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="184" alt="019" src="http://www.draginol

Excellent points Adventure-Dude.

I just feel really bad for the kids. I heard her spokeswoman saying how she would "clear the record" (she said that a million times!) once she recuperated from childbirth. I can't imagine anything she could say that would make it make any more sense. I heard her mother said she was obsessed with having kids. Her spokeswoman said she just wants to be the best mom ever. I think parenting is about quality not quantity and I don't know how anyone could possibly prope

[quote]I do hope that was sarcastic. If not, I encourage you to read up on the underground railroad.[/quote] It wasn't sarcastic and I encourage you to get a clue. 1) It was the Underground railroad because they were in opposition of the majority and had to operate underground. 2) Those opposed to slavery weren't moving themselves to Canada, they were helping the slaves get there.

He is the most focused, goal oriented person I've ever met. I just do my part at home and work and help in whatever way I can (mostly staying out of the way) so he can get his goals accomplished.
