Here's the facts - but that's not what appears on those billboards and protest signs, is it? Because the truth is not on your side.

Maybe because it's a business transaction, not a philosophical statement? If the photographer takes photos of an activity, is that an endorsement? I don't see it that way. As one Justice said, you need to separate your beliefs from your conduct in order for society to function. If you have...

Sure, with someone who's equally superficial and arrogant and high maintenance - not my type. I can't say whether the RR driver in this incident deserved a reality check, but there's a lot out there who do. Weapons and armored cars and gated communities, because people want to attack you? I...

Post #4 showed promise - I think you'll fit right in here, lol. You'll see how addicting it can be. Helping people and razzing them. Not usually both at once, but sometimes...;)

Running south through Oh on 75 last night, it rained so hard there was zero visibility for awhile - but it's pretty today. That much snow just sucks, when you didn't get to enjoy the autumn while preparing for it!

The Catholic Church prohibits it's members from using contraception in any form other than the 'rhythm method'. It does not require them to oppose the use of contraception by non members - that's an option for the 'holier than thou' members. The rest ignore the prohibition anyway, and freely...

When you caannot refrain from using emotion-laden words, it's a clear indication that you cannot think rationally on that particular subject. Emotion is not how important issues are decided by reasonably intelligent people trying to resolve differing perspectives. Emotion is appealed to when...

Turtle makes the excellent point that abortion is about control. The old saying 'keep them barefoot & pregnant" is proof: control a woman's freedom [to leave] and reproductive choices, and you control that woman. All you need to accomplish the first though, is the second. Men have been losing a...

Your take is a great example of something I've observed for so many years that I still think of it as 'the Cadillac attitude': My ride costs 5x as much, so I deserve special treatment in traffic' Without defending the bikers, [who were clearly wrong] what I consider sickening is the attitude...

I recently saw a vid where the police car sped with lights & siren to Dunkin Donuts [probably in NJ, eh?] and the LEO was in & out of the place with coffee & donuts in like 5 minutes. Was that an emergency?! Overheard at a traffic stop: Cop: "Your eyes look red - have you been drinking?" Driver...

Like the "states rights" crowd would let that become policy, lol. PS Ah, memories: I haven't heard anyone use the word scuz since about 5th grade!

Dude, I don't know whose words you're reading, but what you claim I believe is just completely fabricated in your own mind. I never said it, or implied it - you just make stuff up.

If the unions or "Obama's buddies" got waivers because they object to the emergency contraceptive requirement, then Hobby Lobby should get one too. Equal rights!

I think the belief that Obama is to blame for the insurance companies jacking up the premiums is as reasonable as believing Obama lied about keeping your current plan. What he actually said was "There's nothing in this act that will make you or your employer change your current plan." That was...

Some offensive language for the truckers with delicate sensibilities [wait - did I really just type that?!] but the song gets it said. Driver's Song: "Truck The D.O.T" | CDLLife The last part [after the song] made me laugh out loud. ;)

It's way too early to tell yet, but you're sure, huh? :rolleyes:

Oh yeah: nobody cares what the Republicans did 40 years ago - it's what they're doing now that matters, and it's not good, IMO.

You're just finding out that LBJ was a racist? That has been common knowledge for decades, along with the fact that he [and quite a few other admired men] was also an adulterer. It was a different culture, and people felt able to hold and speak beliefs that are pretty offensive today...

But we haven't been trying the same old things - we've turned a blind eye to what Wall St, the banks, insurance companies, and corporations are doing to warp the 'free market' and keep wages artificially low. We're keeping our mouths shut while workers are defrauded and disparaged and...
