I just read an interesting article about some women in Iran who are getting brave enough to post photos on facebook of themselves without the hijab. They aren't brave enough to show their faces, or identify themselves, but baby steps, nonetheless. As one was quoted: "I don't mind wearing a hijab...

As does healthy skepticism: did you think for even a minute that the insurance companies wouldn't take full advantage of the license to raise rates, and blame it on Obamacare?

Where did you see that? All I see are "Closed" signs!

And here I thought it was called 'thank the morons who injure & kill construction workers, so they feel they need ten miles of barriers and a couple LEOs in cruisers for their safety'.... Like the concrete crash barriers in front of public buildings, the Secret Service protection for even ex...

If it turns out that the van driver fell asleep, we can take a lesson from it: nothing is worth driving sleepy for. However, if it turns out to have been a sudden medical issue, there's no real way to prepare for something that can happen to anyone - and has. When apparently perfectly healthy...

Dale's experience brings up another question that's [so far] unanswerable: how can people whose thought processes are so stratospherically off the charts abnormal, look just like everyone else? How can they fool some very smart people, as they do? [I'm reminded of the police officer who...

Hahaha: perfectly illustrates how interesting golf can be. ;)

Because you're expecting a home invasion perpetrated by someone wielding a sword? Yeah, that'll happen. :rolleyes: [Even scumbags and morons have seen that scene.]

Adding a gazillion exclamation points [as click bait] can backfire, if people find it misleading, as to content.

Not bored enough to pay attention: the apostrophe indicates possessive, not plural. Asking "Grandpa's 'what'"? isn't the slightest bit humorous.

Looks like "Nick Park ['Wallace and Grommit'] Writes For The Minions", lol. Very cool! And yes, I can see the FedUp resemblance, after a few deliveries-gone-way-wrong vids, lol.

Since I have no idea who [or what] "Raggers" are, guess I'm not old enough.

That 'coin' has my BS meter screaming. Because I grew up in Ohio, where there are a LOT of Amish, and I never saw or heard of them being on a bus, for starters. Modern transportation goes against their way of life, even the more 'liberal' sects. Nor have I ever heard of them being accused of...

Unemployment IS earned. Eligibility requires sufficient work history, loss of employment through no fault of one's own, and other restrictions imposed by the state, such as verifiable job search, or educational endeavors. It amounts to about half what one was earning, which barely puts food on...

No mention of when the law [in Lexington] was enacted - there are gazillions of state & local ordinances that were enacted a very long time ago, and never changed, even though they're ridiculous now. Any law like the mask law needs to be applied with common sense and cognizance of the circs. As...

True, but I don't see that any underlying religious attachment is required - it is rooted in religion's attempts to provide answers to the unknown, long ago, and peoples' willingness to accept those answers, because no one else was stepping up. A lot has changed in the centuries since, but...

Yes, it will, but at the expense [literally!] of those of us who never cheated. And the potential for abuse shifts to the medical providers, who are far better at it than we could ever hope to be. Example: providers who own [or have heavy investments in] sleep testing centers - might they...

I've already congratulated the terrific twosome, now I just hope I get to see the place in person! ;)

This is what comes of allowing religion to dictate public policy.
