It doesn't pay to underestimate the intelligence [or resources] of the enemy - a lesson I hope we got from 9/11. There are already tunnels under the border, and if I were wanting to move a lot of drugs and/or people from one side to the other, I'd prefer invisible transport, myself. With...

appreciate the chivalry, but it's not about women - it's about public urination [and exposure] being illegal for very good reasons. Most of us hesitate to confront the perp [also for very good reasons], but I wouldn't hesitate to get a photo of the act. The perp who would respond with violence...

Thanks, Turtle, for the origin [letter from John Jay] of the quote. I particularly note another line that oddly doesn't get quoted [or followed] "Real Christians will abstain from violating the rights of others, and therefore will not provoke war." Christians have the right to refrain from...

You haven't retired from participating, I hope! You bring a lot to EO, and would be missed very much - please find time for us in your new routine, whatever it is. [If it involves grandchildren, I'm jealous!]

You must be new here, lol - but the teasing is entirely affectionate, ok? PS I loved Miss Kat's name for him: Zaniac - it suits him, I think. :D

"Seek medical attention" - or just take the machete out of your pants...;)

Zane: the answer to your question on what's stopping the druggies from breaking into a van carrying "a million dollars [street value] of narcotics" is exactly as you described it: a plain white wrapper. They have no idea of the contents, and would assume that drugs are delivered with the same...

Tim: I didn't attach any special significance to the "you could have stopped at 3 k's" comment, [just Scott being witty in his usual pithy form - which I seriously envy, lol] and the guy who did is the same guy who didn't see any Klan allusions in your posts [see post 9]. Stirrers like outrage...

The last sentence describes some of our very best threads, lol. Seriously: being challenged to defend your statements [to a tough crowd!] is a good thing, IMO. I've learned a lot from what others bring to the discussions, and that's what the Soapbox was intended to promote. Well - that and the...

The anti-Obama fervor has been surprising me for years, but I'm agreeing with Abbie: "I'm tired of Broncobama and Mitt Romney" already! :rolleyes:

US History.org says he was: http://www.ushistory.org/paine/ But some of us already knew that.

Re: To Keep Federal Funding, Planned Parenthood Opens Cooking, Cleaning And Laundry C Some not so young women, too: it has to be 25 years since the time a daughter's friend [around age 5] asked what I was doing [peeling potatoes]. When I replied "Making mashed potatoes" she looked puzzled &...

"As the Government of the United States was not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" is a direct and unimpeachable quote from Thomas Jefferson - you can nitpick ['it's not a '"founding document"] but you're just playing with semantics, dude. As Turtle pointed out, IF the Christian...

And a whole lot of innocent bystanders & civilians [including babies!] too - but that's ok, it's approved murder. My point was that prolifers can justify killing people when it suits their beliefs, but it's the ol slippery slope: when you admit some exceptions to the rule, the only question...

Xiggi may be right, but it might also say 'we want to pass it because we made a deal [for our own reasons] and we can't take the time to thoroughly review it first [for our own reasons] so consider it a done deal & move on already! We have campaigns to raise funds for, people! That sounds like...

Change just one word in the first sentence: not having children until you are ready is the best idea. Not having sex until one is mature enough to cope with the emotional aspects [and protect against the physical hazards of pregnancy and STDs] is a realistic goal - but until marriage? That's a...

Probably my background in medical terminology & acronyms, but I was expecting a photo of a little blue pill - Homer was a better choice, lol. :o

"Renaming things to make them pretty" is a "liberal bull**** thing"?! I don't believe it's liberals who use photos of adorable babies to push their views on abortion, is it now? The typical first trimester abortion is not what is pictured, and that's a fact I know from personal observation...

'Pro life' people are a strange contradiction: they are willing to admit exceptions to the sacredness of life, [self defense, war, capital punishment] but only those of which they approve. For an unwanted pregnancy, they'll make an exception for rape or incest, which means if the woman can prove...
