You know you're in trouble when you have to post that, lol. :eek:

It's not Obama who sez you hafta, it's how our society is built: we are obliged to care for those who can't do it themselves. I don't like the idea of supporting freeloaders either - I work for what I've got [harder than most!], and always have. Where we differ is in how many people getting...

Jeez, Mike, that was about 3 trucks ago, lol. I'll make you a new one, if you send me a mailing addy, ok? PS Was gonna ask you for some good Mexican food spots around Murfreesboro, but couldn't wait, so I made nachos for dinner, but where should I go next time?

"Terrorists could use the patriotic holiday" but "there were no specific threats". Same old sensationalistic click bait attention getting tactics that suck in those who read the headlines, but not the actual words of the story.

Every single published reaction to the SC decision that was negative included a religious reason. Every last one of them. If a real marriage is 2 people who love each other, then there's no reason why homosexuals can't form real marriages, because that's all they're doing. Why is this...

Hahaha - if 2 people can't make a marriage work more than half the time, how well will it work to add another person? I don't see that as much of a risk. And as for pedophiles [the favorite "sky is falling/end of the world" example], it's illegal, and will continue to be illegal, as one party...

I could be wrong, but I think it's your view that is colored by your beliefs. Even in conservative states, the citizens have come to approve of gays getting married. The "large segment" [there's really just one: the religious beliefs defenders] isn't as large as you think, and it's getting...

You didn't read it right: it says "in danger of becoming". Not "is".

They can. And they can be jerks, and they can be stupid, too. Because they're just like the rest of us, except in one respect - and that one respect is not worth treating them as "less than" anyone else, because it cannot harm anyone else.

Dale: thank you for showing how a big bearded long haired tattooed guy could actually be a fair minded family oriented Christian [in the best sense of that word] who really just wants everyone to get along. I might not have have believed it if I hadn't met you, and I'm glad you've proven so many...

From the [Catholic] Bishop's Palace in Galveston, Tx, to the various megachurches all over, it's clear that there's a LOT of money flowing to those at the top of the heap. But in Tudor England, King Henry gleefully decommissioned the monasteries to divvy their lands among his friends, while...

I still wonder why they thought putting time clocks in trucks was a good idea, after the "20 minutes or it's free" debacle proved what a bad idea it is to force drivers to beat the clock!

Really amazing, that in all the distractions the FMCSA listed, they somehow missed the single one I face most often: looking for an address/building/sign, while driving in city traffic.

It says right in the article that they are operating a "for profit" business, not a ministry, which makes the nondiscrimination laws applicable. They weren't forced to operate that business, they chose it, including the applicable laws. If it's ok for bakers and florists to refuse to serve...

The only problem with your position are the number of kids who aren't being adopted by 'mainstream' couples. They are older, nonCaucasian, physically handicapped, have some "issues", or whatever - but they're being passed over, time and time again. These are the kids that gay couples adopt...

I'd have liked that concert too! PS I figured I was misspelling the Bokul Harum name, and figured it doesn't matter, on account of how often we Westerners discover we've been misspelling an Arabic name all along anyhow. [How many spellings of Gaddafi have there been?!]

Absolutely: most people [esp corporate wonks in charge of social media] are just reacting to what the news media tells them is important [by devoting a ton of coverage to it]. There's a great deal of coverage on ISIS/ISIL, but the fact is, we are more likely to be in danger from homegrown...

8 for me. I had no idea which museum houses the staircase, but the song played [to signal withdrawal] was my clumsy fingers - I knew the right answer, lol. It's not about how well you know the war, though - it's just trivia. It says nothing about why the US felt it necessary to get into the...

The sole photo shows it from overhead, at an angle that doesn't show how "high' it was, so it's quite possible that it resembled a Mohawk, or maybe just a Mohawk in the making. Even if it didn't when the decision was made, it's easy to see that it would, without meticulous trimming. Can't blame...
