Christian bashing? I am aware of the recent comments reminding people that radical Muslims have no monopoly on terrorizing others, but how many other comments bashing Christians have I missed? And trashing America? By acknowledging that we aren't perfect, and don't always live up to our...

Abortion kills. As does war, and people can rationalize the death of actual, real, already born babies, plus their parents and siblings, when they are killed by bombs meant for "the enemy" - not a word of protest about all those deaths. Those deaths we can accept, but a woman who has sex must...

You can go with the prayers, but my money's on hypothermia, which causes the body to put itself in a low power state - sometimes, for much longer than seems possible. That's why it's used for heart transplant surgeries - just sayin....

I've always accepted the terms pro choice and pro life at face value. A pregnant woman doesn't always choose abortion, but if she didn't intend to get pregnant, she should have a choice - at least, until either birth control or human beings are perfect. The pro life people believe they are...

The premise is not that the "liberal media" doesn't report the issues, but that they gloss over them, without questioning their import. Things like outsourcing jobs, increasing temp workers, weakening the Glass Steagall bank restrictions, high rates of incarceration when crime is [and has been]...

In reference to the Jordanian pilot being burned alive, anyone ever heard of Jesse Washington? Sam Hose?

Speaking only for myself, I support both because every child should be wanted and cared for. That's not to say CPS is always in the right, [maybe they need to 'find abuse' to justify their jobs?] but I know very well that not every person who can be a parent should be.

Um, which things, specifically, did they "twist"? :confused:

In the link provided by Pilgrim, several officials warn about infectious diseases brought by illegal immigrants: JD Hayworth, former state rep from AZ, mentions tuberculosis, leprosy, and polio. The DHS Inspector General describes respiratory illnesses, tuberculosis, chicken pox, scabies, and...

You can opt out anytime, just move to some other country that doesn't tax the citizens. :o

So, where would you go instead/ :confused:

Of course it's voluntary - we choose to have the services provided by government, and they aren't free, so we all help pay. Those businesses that don't help pay benefit from taxpayer provided services too, and is that socialism, in your opinion? You referred to the link I cited as "silly...

Also: the issues that prohibit Yolo from getting a med card are tachycardia [fast heart rate], hypertension [high blood pressure], and asthma, not apnea. Not telling the second doc about the apnea diagnosis won't make the other issues go away, so a second opinion without an apnea diagnosis won't...

The dishonesty is between you & your conscience, but should you be involved in a serious accident, don't think for a minute it won't be discovered and used against you. I would still advise telling the truth: the last doctor said he/she believes I have apnea, and I believe he/she is mistaken...

Somehow, I missed the story of ol George making beer, wherever he did it, because it definitely wasn't covered in any history class I sat through. Paul Revere's ride was, because it's a legend in our history, [whether it's factual or not], right up there with Pocahontas saving Captain John...

Are you of the conviction that it's teachers who establish rules for the school district?

Magical 'Hobbit' ring toting fourth-grader in media spotlight - Odessa American: Education The photo clears up the mystery of putting the ring on one's head, but it adds a few more, because the Principal claims confidentiality forbids an explanation ["nothing to see here, move along"]...

Addicts shop for a doc who will prescribe drugs. Hypochondriacs shop for a doc who will tell them they have a real medical issue [or several of them]. People with undiagnosed pain shop for a doc who can find the cause. There are various reasons for doctor shopping, other than drug seeking, but...

That's what's known as "doctor shopping", and it's one of the reasons we have to use only docs on the 'approved' list. It's unethical to withhold info you know is pertinent, and it probably wouldn't help in this case anyway, as the issues are secondary to apnea, and they're still unresolved...

The TA in Duncan is one where I always park in front, especially if I'm doing laundry, because the exit door next to the washers & dryers leads right to that lot, lol. Park at the Pilot across the street, you have to carry the stuff up numerous flights of steps instead. :eek:
