What "liberal narrative" did he fail to support, exactly?

Hell, you think we want everyone to bang every possible second and this research says women who have lots of sex are less depressed so that's certainly in support of what you think we think.

I think one major road block to legalizing it is there really isn't a test that can be done to tell if your under the immediate influence of it. This causes a Problem with policing driving under the influence. I know that pee tests can detect it from az far back as 28 days. This really is my only o...

Manufacturing started leaving the US under the Clinton era, and yes, it is getting worse, but it is still here. "America remains by far the No. 1 manufacturing country. It out-produces No. 2 China by more than 40 percent. U.S. manufacturers cranked out nearly $1.7 trillion in goods in 2009, ac...

There is a difference between the inability to control a child and not even trying. We don't even try anymore, we simply hand out condoms while at the same time telling 11 year olds they are able to choose to do whatever they want. I'd be much more open to handing out condoms if we were at least te...

Sarvis

I'm not necessarily against that... On the other hand, let me tell you why it won't work. First off, we've lived with the nanny state so long that people don't know how to be responsible or take responsibility. Second, Liberals won't be able to stand the disproportionate impact of drug use on the p...

I'm trying to get some work done, I don't always have time or feel like countering every single point. also if i can't win something that is obviously wrong, I'm unlikely to make any headway on subtler points. Ah, so you DO want a girl's life to be ruined by one bad decision. Got it. For someone wh...

My hyperbolic comment wasn't specific to this issue but specific to the sentiment your comment fell into. Oh please, you're constantly trying to bait us into shit. You brought up the Piss Christ, but didn't expect there to be death threats over it. Then you tried to show how union-members were send...

Sarvis

The may also be men and eat pad thai. The salient association in sending the death threats is belonging to a union and being a democrat. quit trying to muddle the obvious. The obvious is that they are human, and humans sometimes react that way. You muddled things by claiming I think when a "co...

The message is sex is good sex is natural men can love men, and women women, masturbation is good and natural, you shouldn't have sex until you feel that you're ready and you shouldnt feel guilty about having sex, this is how you have sex if you have sex then make sure you do this this and this to ...

Sarvis

I see so its justified. That pretty much sums it up, when your side does something its justified when a conservative/christian does it, its evil. No Kiryan, not justified but expected. You keep acting surprised when humans act like humans. I'm not, regardless of whether they are Muslim, Christian, ...

Sarvis

Meh. My point was always that we're all pretty much the same. Why shouldn't union workers send death threats when their livelyhood is being threatened? Especially if Christians are going to because they didn't like a picture that didn't affect them in any way whatsoever.

Sarvis

More free speech intolerance! I was surprised at how many people thought that it was "horrendous" for a baby to sport a onsie emblazoned with the slogan, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" 46% were horrified by such a display. Really, this is the state of the union, we are...

Sarvis

The point is that illegal pot is more harmful to the country than legal pot. Think of the budget savings if we disbanded the DEA! You want to cut spending right?

And frankly, Kiryan, if you want to stop the sexualization of society then Planned Parenthood is the wrong target. You need to regulate and corporate America, which packages everything in sex these days. http://www.prisonplanet.com/for_adults_only.html "Bill Johnson, president of the Michigan-b...

Sarvis

madness is of course the abstinence position, not the continued sexualization of our society and the entitlement mentality. well here you go, 11 year olds can get free condoms in Philly, I think some elementary school district in Boston hands out condoms to anyone, even kindergartners. but yea push...

The number you're looking for is $800-900 billion. That's the amount of revenue that the citizens of the United States saved as a result of extending the Bush tax cuts. FTFY No Corth, absolutely wrong and I'd really expect better of you. The money was spent anyway, we just owe it now. Debt is not s...

Found an article talking about it: http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/22/expiring-bush-cuts-affect-personal-finance-taxes.html Basically if you are in the 10% bracket now, you'll go up 5%. If you're in the other tax brackets up until 35%, you'll go up 3%. If you're in the highest tax bracket of 35% you'l...

Kiryan thinks pre-marital sex was invented in the 70's by Liberals. No teenager ever had sex in the 1950's, for instance. :roll:

Sarvis

Family planning programs would bear a 5 percent cut rather than being completely eliminated. Without referring to Christian morality can you please explain why it's good for lots of girls to have unplanned pregnancies? On the same basis its good for lots of girls to be taught that they're free to h...

Sarvis

If a nation is going to insist on placing its troops into war like situations, those troops should have the BEST training and equipment available to them, to help ensure that they make it home alive. If you want to cut military spending INSIST on a cut back of military action as well. This is one t...

I'm disappointed. We should've gotten healthcare reform repeal attached to this. They pulled out all the stops to get their way, time for us to. I don't like how the deal gives Obama and Dems a clear sign we're not willing to shut the government down... leading up to the debt ceiling limit fight an...

Do you think it should remain within his rights to burn a koran? Would you defend his right to burn the koran? Yes, I believe I've stated that several times. I'll agree with you, its not a good situation for him to be burning a koran. It is disrespectful and offensive. Not to mention that it put ot...

Sarvis

So Sarvis are you agreeing its good and within his rights for this guy to burn a koran or are you saying its wrong? Good: No Within his Rights: Yes Why is that so confusing for you? It's within your rights to smoke, for instance, but it is not good for you. I'll agree its insensitive and antagonist...

Rags I don't recall being up in arms about the team america movie, but it wasn't because it wasn't offesnive. (I barely watched it a couple years after it was released) its because the standard was free speech was still free speech. The difference today is that liberals are out there in increasing ...

No cooperating and asking everyone else's permission is not leading. Its following. It's no surprise that the guy who can't agree with anyone about anything on this forum would think that.

e wants to tackle the $14.3 trillion national debt while reducing the deficit by $4.4 trillion over the next decade.

Sarvis

The other thing I remember from the article was that someone guest hosted his show (or time slot or whatever) and the ratings stayed exactly the same without him. Makes him look less like he's drawing the ratings and more like they could put up a video of paint drying in that time slot and have just...

Sarvis

The issue for me is leadership. Doing the "right" thing not doing what is politically (including at the UN level) safe. If Obama believed we needed to support the rebels or eliminate ghadaffi, then execute on that basis. Don't half ass and compromise based on what is popular or can be pus...

Sarvis

Not really, Rags is right. Kiryan is far more caught up in trying to catch some liberal hypocrisy than anything else. The fact that World Police is a movie that wasn't protested really shows how a satirical play/movie is on a different level than a Koran burning.

Sarvis

Beck's ratings have been down... I don't remember the exact figure. 20%? 30%? Something like that over the last six months. In addition, there were several successful boycotts that convinced advertisers to pull funding from his show (and Fox News in general). I doubt he's going to go start his own ...

So I don't know how much you guys know about super bugs, but having worked in a 5 hospital system, I can tell you they are very concerned about them. This article is frightening, 25% of the water samples they took in some place in India are registering the genes for a super bug. That's ok though, t...

Ragorn: Your powers are weak, old man. Beck: You can't win, Ragorn. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. I don't think Beck was "fired" from Fox. As a matter of fact he will continue to work with them and produce additional content. Even if ...

I'm talking specifically about FOREIGN money. Also, I'd like to know what your sliding scale is on money vs vote. Is $10 in foreign money a bigger problem than 1 counted foreign vote? Is it $50 or $1,000? Foreign money is worse, since we are then beholden to another country's interests. And to keep...

I keep forgetting principles can only be applied in Kiryan Approved ways! Too bad my principle is that being confrontational and violent only breeds more confrontation and violence, and what your preacher did was confrontational. What Matt and Trey did, however, was not. There's a difference between...

So Matt & Trey shoot their mouth off, and the response is some school in England getting blown up. You think that's a good thing. Got it. The alternative is that we let the bullies walk all over us. At some point everyone makes a decision about what kind of person they are going to be. Are you ...

Sarvis

I'd also point out that there is a difference between Matt and Trey and this random Koran burner, in that M&T actually do tend to convey a message. Sure showing Mahommed is offensive, but their entire point was that it shouldn't be and that Muslims were getting upset over pretty much nothing. Bu...

They are both basically equal. It's just that the Mormons, who are in general civilized, aren't killing people. And fanatical elements of the other group are.
