  • RE: Spammed and Prudie's Advice

    I shouldn't be surprised at the blatant subjective information held within the advice to Spammed regarding the emails from his family member, but pointing to an article from the Washington Post as ''proof'' of any candidates religious/spiritual affiliation is a joke. And going one step further, pointing them to that candidate's own website as ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • This has to be parody!

    I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

  • Re: Umm...This is America...or did you forget...

    I agree with almost everything you say. I feel that my rights come number one in my life. When those are gone, what do we have to live for? But I do believe that if my tax dollars are going to healthcare for those who can't afford it, then those who can't afford healthcare should not be allowed to be unhealthy. I know a guy that eats fast food ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

    Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

  • Government abuse of power

    South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society.
