    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    But that's not what you said. You said, without any qualifying "usually," in there, much less anything about a "faith based provider" providing IUDs and other forms of contraceptives to teens, "When info is withheld, or misstated, it's because the conservative right wing demands it, not because...

    And the bigotry continues

    Don't you live in the land of pearls? And oil refineries? If the bulk of your information is the Larry Kramer documentary, then you're woefully miseducated. While it's true that people were forced to pay attention when non-gays started coming down with AIDS, it is not true that no one in any...

    Just a hypothetical example. I know you wouldn't knock Leo out for his money or because he's from Texas. :D

    And the bigotry continues

    It goes to motive. All violent crimes can be more or less serious depending on motive. That was true before the first hate crime laws were enacted. If Ragman, for example, were to knock you out and take your money because he wanted your money, that's just pedestrian robbery-assault. If...

    And the bigotry continues

    The stats on attacks really don't even attempt to speculate like that. Instead, they record actual attacks, and for whatever reason, be it that people are starting to hate Muslims more than Jews, or they are starting to hate Jews less, or because Jews have learned to shut up and blend in, the...

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    You need to be as vigilant about vetting an owner as an owner is about drivers.

    And the bigotry continues

    I'm not sure what you mean. If they're white and blend in and keep quiet, the chances of them being attacked because they are Jewish, and therefore listed as a victim of a hate crime, would be less, no? In any case, the current flawed numbers are down from the previous flawed numbers of the past.

    And the bigotry continues

    A lot of people think if a crime is committed against a minority, or a homosexual, or some other protected class, that the crime is automatically elevated to that of a hate crime. And, many of those same people believe that if a white person is the one attacked that it can't be a hate crime...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    I wouldn't go, either. If you go down there at a regular rate, then leave at 50 or 60 cents, then you've lost money on both loads, especially if you had to sit a week or two to get that 50 cent load. Don't let that big $800 load to Laredo fool you, you can make more than that in a week without...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    Most states have laws in place where minors can get prescription contraception without parental notification. Texas and Utah are the two that explicitly prohibit minors from receiving prescription birth control devices unless the parent or guardian signs off on it. Texas also has one of the...

    And the bigotry continues

    Contrary to popular belief, it's not automatic. The prosecution has to actually prove the attack happened all or in part because of the race, color, creed, national origin, etc.

    Taking offense at flags

    Christians had to work overtime on that one to come up with a way to find the Rainbow flag objectionable. Have you ever seen a rainbow? Looks nothing like the Rainbow flag. It's not even the same shape. It's got the same colors as a rainbow, but that's as far as it goes. I promise you, when...

    Got some bad news, Leo. Please keep in mind that I'm just the messenger, not an illegal alien repeat offender. Or a spammer. Colorado’s Effort Against Teenage Pregnancies Is a Startling Success

    And the bigotry continues

    Noticing that most streets named after MLK Jr are in bad neighborhoods or aren't primary roads is hardly racist. The racist part came in the politics of selecting which streets get renamed. This site chronicles just how contentious, and racists, the process can be. http://mlkstreet.com/

    Inexcusable murder

    That includes parents who drag their children here illegally, including those who sit at the border with tear-filled puppy dog eyes awaiting to be deported. Because, we can't afford to support everyone who wants to be here. We can't even afford to support those who are already here.

    Inexcusable murder

    If you address the cause (secure the border), the symptom (anchor babies) goes away.

    Inexcusable murder

    Correct. Anchor babies is an invention of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the 1965 Immigration Act, which allows the anchor baby to pull the illegal alien mother, and a whole host of other relatives, into permanent resident status. The US did not limit immigration in any way...
