It takes a lot more intelligence to admit you don't know than to pretend you do. Like liars, the poseurs always get caught, sooner or later. PS Anytime you don't know what I'm talking about, just ask, I'll explain, or rephrase, or whatever. I don't play the passive-aggressive game of saying...

Do you really think so? [That they know who they are.] I'm not so sure, because they sure won't admit it publicly, and maybe they won't even admit it to themselves. They "missed that post", all right: it went in one ear & out the other, making no impression at all enroute.

I can't see Hilary winning, either. We've just had the first black POTUS, and people are not in the mood to sail uncharted waters again so soon. And besides: something about Hilary just rubs me the wrong way, too, lol. ;)

It's not "talking about others' children" that bothers me, [libs had a ball with Bristol Palin, lol], it's the denigration of how a young woman looks that ought to be off limits. Unless the young lady in question is competing in a pageant, it is irrelevant, and says more about the...

Unlike many [of both sexes], Chelsea Clinton wasn't chosen for her looks, but her knowledge and perspective. The same goes for every man chosen to contribute his perspective on tv, and who points out how "well suited for a visual medium" they are? Men who value women [or not] primarily on how...

And y'all wonder why so many women [and the men who appreciate them, no matter what they look like to strangers] consider Republicans the Party of Ugly [Insides]? PS Do you pass these "values" on to your children, too? :confused:

Ya know, the IRS also flagged [for extra scrutiny] groups referencing "occupy movement", "Israel", "open source software" and "medical marijuana" .....

So far, the "laundry list" is one student's claim, unproven. If it is correct, it certainly ought to force some answers, because it is contrary to the whole nature of education. It's particularly wrong in the case of sex education, where a lack of knowledge can ruin one's health and happiness...

This is why there's gridlock: ask for suggestions, and all you get is "That [whatever was already suggested] won't work." No ideas whatsoever, just : no.

You are correct, and I stand corrected. I do have a tendency to get them muddled, as they have equal importance, involved many of the same Founding Fathers, and enshrined the same attitudes towards liberty. Jefferson did say that the men who hammered out the Constitution were "demigods", though...

Irrelevant? Really? Except for the weapons of choice, there is nothing in that statement that has not happened, too many times already. If people are frightened by that, it's not because Hilary persuaded them that they should be. And I don't believe she implied that stricter gun laws will...

I don't blame the people who came hoping for a better life, ready to work for what we wouldn't accept as wages, I blame the legislators who turned a blind eye to them, in their own self interest.

Thank you. That's something I find ironic: the people who are all about the Constitution, and can cite Amendments till the cows come home, never seem to grasp the single most important part: the first three words. It wasn't just a new country they were creating, or a new kind of government, it...

So why are so many of them established here, working and sending money home to Mexico & Central America? Not votes, people: jobs. If employers were penalized for hiring them they'd stop coming here for work. OTOH, there's reality: I think it was the Governor of Texas who said that if every...

Since you asked for it: Ragman is right to call you on the passive-aggressive tactic of pretending to attribute to someone else what you don't have the guts to say outright. You're not fooling anyone, except [maybe] yourself. "Honest citizens" and "improper intrusion" are debatable, BTW, not...

I went to HQ only once, to return the QC - I think you need to be 'escorted' beyond the lobby, anyhow, so you'd probably feel more welcome at the Pilot.

Correct me if I misinterpreted, but I believe you just called Turtle a liar, lol. :eek:

Let's not forget: the business is news, and if the truth is sacrificed for ratings, the business is dishonest. Maybe that doesn't bother you too much, [profit!!!], but most people prefer the truth. I hope they do, though sometimes, I wonder. :rolleyes:

Reading that last sentence, I'm wondering who exactly is guilty of "self attributed moral and intellectual superiority"? I understand marketing concepts, and I also understand that being ubiquitous has little to do with quality. Further, I know that people will often knowingly choose an inferior...
