    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Neither do women who aren't pregnant. That's all fine well and good, but we weren't discussing the per capita rates, we were discussing the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performs in relation to the ones performed by everyone else. It was part of that whole "market share" diatribe...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Perspective? If you want some real perspective in order to come up with a really low percentage number, why not add all men of fathering age to the pool? And for that matter, the total number of ants, termites and crickets on the planet, as putting them in the pool makes about as much sense as...

    The Trump Card...

    That's why I'm having trouble understanding why you find it so difficult to believe he meant anything else (other than a female body part reference - who came up with that silly "hormonal reference," anyway?). Throughout his entire history of publicly disrespecting people, he's never done so in...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    It's not my true agenda. It was a sarcastic response to a ridiculous question. Ridiculous, because if you couldn't already discern the significance of the statement, me taking the time to explain it wouldn't help much, what with considering the adversarial and dismissive tone of your questioning...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Market share, baby! It's not so bad when you consider they have more than 700 clinics. 898 x 365 = 327,770 which is right there with Planned Parenhood's numbers.

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    You're using probably and possibly interchangeably. You'll need to define "many" because it will take a really lot of them to skew the numbers that low. Also, many women that go to Planned Parenthood don't fit into any of those reasons you listed. The "quick olé and a Medicaid cha-ching" has...

    The Trump Card...

    I don't think it's used much here in America, but I've heard several people I know from Europe use it often.

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    It may appear that way to you, perhaps because you have certain emotions about Planned Parenthood yourself, I don't know, but the criteria for any logical fallacy is that it must be used in an attempt to win an argument, which my sentence does not, nor was it designed to do. The statement was...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, it was "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.". Pretty much. It was a loose reference to the idiom "bleeding from the eyes" which gets used a couple of different ways. "I read so long my eyes were bleeding," and "The Staff Sergeant made us...

    GOP is better than this.....

    The first big clue was the second paragraph - "He told a story Americans wanted to hear..." That's biased phrasing, so when I read that I knew what was to come. Ironic, isn't it, that she's a liberal democrat living in a city ruled for 50 years by iron-fisted democrats, and she thinks more...

    "Partner" is deceiving, because you're not really partners. Partner carriers get the scraps and leftovers that the carrier cannot cover with their own trucks, nor the loads they cannot get covered with their "second choice option" of calling or e-mailing a preferred, trusted carrier (one of the...

    Another costly lesson it appears you are on the way to learning is you shouldn't gravitate to a particular carrier because the name is familiar or because they're big or for any other reason other than because you'll make money there. The carrier you keep mentioning has not for years been a...

    It's not. For a cargo van it's $300,000 not $100,000. Yeah, the whole "... to keep your van full," thing sounds good, but it's largely a myth and doesn't produce any more revenue than someone leased to a decent carrier.

    Well, several things. One, the lowest bid doesn't necessarily get the load. Carrier rankings and a reliable history is often more important than the rate. Loads on Selectus will often be awarded to a carrier who the posting carrier is familiar with. Two, entering the business up front with your...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Without even looking I'd have to say that whatever facts are there have very little to do with Obama's resolve, especially since he commented several times how important PP is because they perform so many, oh, so many, mammograms every year. Facts? He couldn't care less. There ya go. That's the...
