    Don't mess with Texas.

    I have mixed feelings on the matter. o_O Of course. The desire to see someone "get what's coming to them" is what makes vigilantes succeed in adding recruits to their impromptu lynch mobs. It's a natural impulse, but indulging it is the road to ruin. Besides, she'll just move to a new house...

    ISIS captures 2,300 U.S. Humvees in Iraq.

    Intelligent and reasonable people are quite capable of making their opinion known without resorting to name calling, especially when it is independent of any specific action or reason. It's always the stupidest of the ignorant who can't say "Obama" without changing it to something disrespectful...

    Franklin Graham and the cultural battles.

    I'd love to know what a popular vote would show, on both gay marriage and adoption. Problem is, the legislation against both [and abortion] isn't supported by citizens' vote, it's introduced and passed by legislators [usually at the state level, where ALEC and other extreme conservatives have...

    ISIS captures 2,300 U.S. Humvees in Iraq.

    Let's just blame Bush for that which he is responsible for, and Iraq is high on that list. BTW: "captain failure" [and all the other disses] don't much sound like the voice of an informed reasonable person, to informed and reasonable people.

    Franklin Graham and the cultural battles.

    Wait - first you say Graham will have to organize sympathetic media on his behalf, then you say the "other side" has Hollywood, the MSM,& public education - so who's the minority? Like it or not, evangelical Christians are the noisy minority today, not everyone else. Major corporations...

    Franklin Graham and the cultural battles.

    Nobody [and corporations are people too! :rolleyes:] can be everything to everyone, or make everybody happy. WF really needs to make a lot of people happy, to cancel out the millions they've already made unhappy [with those pesky details Turtle pointed out in their recent past], so they picked...

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    Of course you would, and we'd like rates to go up for a change, lol, but.....You aren't going to get concrete numbers, because everything is dependent on many factors. You might get a lot of hazmat loads that pay better,[depending on how the carrier and shipper see it] but you might get none at...

    Welfare for the deceased

    Sorry, but fraud isn't "just as bad" in one group as another. It's worse in the case of well off individuals, who have the advantages of education and a decent income - they should be held to higher standards. As should our elected leaders. In America, the well off get off, while the poor get...

    Caitlyn jenner

    Um, they're not the ones who scream "the sky is falling!" at the very idea of seeing [or their children seeing] a flash of nudity on the part of the opposite sex. The people you refer to are outliers, not mainstream America, and you know it. What you don't know is whether someday, research...

    The Duggars

    The gay baker is in the wrong for interjecting his personal opinion into the transaction. His job is to decorate cakes, as requested by the customer, unless it's illegal. Expressing an opinion [as the anti gay message does] is not illegal. Can someone hired to translate refuse to express...

    The Duggars

    Actors accept the role because it's their job to speak lines they may or may not believe or agree with, and everyone knows it's not their own personal opinion or morals. Any actor who refuses to recite dialogue he doesn't believe in will need to have a Plan B, because acting isn't going to pay...

    Welfare for the deceased

    Let's be honest: the left is sick of yet more reform. "Welfare" [generally Temporary Aid to Needy Families and food stamps] has been 'reformed' numerous times over the past 2 decade, partly by the Feds, mostly by the states.. Eligibility has tightened up, benefits cut, lifetime caps put in...

    The Duggars

    I was going to say that religion is about controlling people, but figured that saying it's an attempt to answer age old questions is less offensive - in the end, it's the same result, though. I cannot agree that putting whatever a customer requests on a cake [except for that which is illegal...

    Welfare for the deceased

    If being fingerprinted for welfare isn't "humiliating", then do it for corporate welfare recipients, too. And be just as diligent in looking for fraud as with the less fortunate - more, even, because there's a whole lot more $ to be gained. Fraud exists in every system - but when it comes to...

    Caitlyn jenner

    Maybe some people freak out over what's between someone else's legs a bit too much. Especially people who believe their kids are traumatized by the sight of nudity, even brief and accidentally exposed. Maybe that's why it's such a BIG DEAL to them.

    Big News For Load One

    I just hope that NE is 'converted' to the L1 way, and not vice versa - but I'm pretty confident that's how it will go. John Elliot didn't get where he is by making bad decisions, I trust he knows what he's doing. [Even though I still hate elogs! LOL] ;)

    In USA How Much Maximum Salary For Truck Drivers

    I should add: I wouldn't know about the other kind, either, except I saw someone sneeze once, after snorting, and it sure looked like it hurt! :eek:

    The Duggars

    That's exactly right, and the provision of a service to the general public is not part of exercising one's religion. Nor is the imposition of religious beliefs on others, which is where the line is drawn. It's ok to believe homosexuality is a sin, it's not ok to refuse to serve them when it is...
