Cool blast from the past...i would have said dozens of innocent people killed in the last year with guns no one needs for any legitimate purpose so of course we should ban them...but your response is rational too, lol.

Problem is that the problems with banning abortion are either rights/concepts or from a practical perspective take a long time to manifest. Abortion, gay rights and sexual education are all the same meta-argument which is whether we are a free country based on secular beliefs, or a religious fiefdom a la iran.

Another study shows that men lie on surveys in order to support their own delusions of satisfaction.

Fuck insurance companies. They shouldn't have access to jack diddly shit.

I think it all comes down to well thought out customization. Let apps work within service frameworks to provide tiles or other features on the lockscreen and leave it up to the user to decide what will show. As long as the base config is clean, any ability to modify can only be considered a positive.

If you believe in god, then believing women are lesser mortals is easy.

Remember that in some cultures (Asia) gender is not a part of regular sentence structure.

I really wish I could believe in this. We need to all be nicer, and we need to fight to protect others like never before.

Jindal has been ironically outspoken in criticizing other republicans for being outspoken. He has stuck to what is probably very intelligent guidance that the GOP needs to be less forthcoming about its true beliefs. When he says "respectful" he means don't speak ill get elected and then act ill.

Some mentally ill people are addicted to cutting, but there is no move to ban knives. Sending her to jail accomplishes nothing...sorry I know this is obvious.

Bitches be snitches.

Churches don't do good, some people in those churches do good. Last time I checked many athiests do good too, so score churches as neutral. The real problem with churches is that they help to hide the crazy.

Religion is silly, but this has nothing to do with religion and more to do with our broken and hateful society raising monsters. There are so many more out there it terrifies me.

Along with all you can eat sushi and $35 plane flights, rapid construction skyscrapers are just not a good idea. Perfect working order??? Let's talk after a major quake hits.

Black Friday, huh?

Exactly, they are the almost Aryans that supported Hitler but which he didn't care about, and their support of the GOP is necessary for its success yet it doesn't care about them at all. Help them understand!

It wasn't a joke :) but you are welcome. Ask her if she wants to live in South Africa or Brazil, places where its cool to be super-wealthy since you can afford a cadre of security, but the upper middle class (what there is of it anyway) lives in fear of kidnapping and car-jackings. FUN!!!

Tell her the worst thing for the wealthy are heavily armed poor people cut off from social assistance. The republican policies are like crack for the wealthy, feels good for a while but in the long run really not good for you.

The only thing depressing me right now is the nonsense republicans spewing garbage talking points about "policies" like they ever had any other than cutting taxes for the wealthy.

Don't worry in a decade or two there won't be any manufacturing jobs, so this is a transitory issue. What you should be worried about is what the 50% percent of humans who are unable to do creative work will do with themselves once there are no manufacturing jobs.
