Jeebus, where's the "like" button when you need it???!?

Perhaps you could move back past US history and review a few other cultures and ages, and compare what that article is saying to the weight of cultural theology in government and tradition in a few other places and times. Ancient Rome? Babylon? Aztecs/Incans/Mayans? Age after age in the Middle East?...

In situations like that, you need to ask why employers are hiring mass illegals. Any workplace in a diverse area should have a diverse range of applicants, right? So why would a company hire almost exclusively from one ethnicity? The McDonald's sites in our area are making a shift from a predominant...

A lot of people have also proposed that Teflor walk in front of a bus. Obviously we can't all get what we propose. Which brings us back to Kiryan's original post...

So you're proposing enforced abortion for all single pregnant women? Or that all single mothers be supported by the government? The forcible removal of all children from single-parent families and the placement of them into adoption and foster homes? Perhaps the imprisonment of all women who have ch...

Actually you should remove the specialized benefits of marriage from a specific man/woman union. Basically move the legal aspects of marriage mandated by courts of law into the "separation of church and state" arena and leave the institution of marriage as it should be, a union of two (or ...

Well said on your previous post Corth! The majority of illegals I know work very hard, do pay taxes, and recycle plenty of their resources back into our economy. You can talk all day about how they're stealing jobs from other Americans, but they're mostly taking low-end jobs that Americans don't wan...

Ashiwi

Corth, I didn't say anything like that in my post. I'm not sure why you read it that way, but that's your perspective and I'm okay with that. The trips I have in my bucket list don't have anything to do with picking random spots to see something "new", but have been chosen for very specifi...

However, travel is a big part of our culture in the US, as evidenced by the number of campgrounds in each state, RV sales figures, and the sheer number of domestic flights. My guess is that the US is big enough, varied enough, and multicultural enough to satisfy the average wanderlust, while Europe...

I'm thinking of maybe trying to do this Oregon thing again. Anybody else interested in possibly getting together closer to summer?

OMG, I love Gurns dearly. Please give him my fondest affection and let him know we're thinking of him.

On one extreme side of the spectrum is the rule of the iron fist, on the other is chaos. Somewhere between the two ends are the rules and regulations passed by the United States government. Saying that the regulation of seatbelts should lead to the regulation of skiing, eating fatty foods or holding...

It doesn't require fully socialized healthcare for us to pay for that kind of stupidity. The system we have right now works just fine for that. Better, even.

Ashiwi

A belt is a belt. When it was removed from the car it stopped being a seatbelt; it is an ex-seatbelt. When he put it around his waist to hold up his pants, it became a pants belt. Yes, if I saw it laying on the ground all alone I would probably say "Hunh, what's a seatbelt doing out here?"...

Ashiwi

Wow, you guys are beyond hope. I just want you to know that when Sarvis loses his nut and shoots up a strip joint, I WILL be on the news telling them how much you guys contributed to the carnage.

Ashiwi

I actually heard what you were trying to say in the first post Ragorn, and for the most part I agree. The stuff that's been coming out of the mouths of our leaders has been out of line to an extreme since Obama got into office. You could have gotten your point across a little better, perhaps, if you...

Because heavy pollution never changed anything in the large cities, and because of this we know that more moderate amounts of pollution must not change anything anywhere. Right? The haze over cities like Los Angeles, Houston and New York City have an obvious and visible impact on their local environ...

Kifle's been the exception to the rule for as long as I have known ... and also the epitome of short, hairy, and sexy.

What you're neglecting to take into account is that the majority of people that you know well enough to know their honest thoughts on theology are going to be either in, or bordering on, your own views. Of course you're going to have some friends and acquaintances whose views aren't similar to yours...

Ashiwi

You know how the media and social networking is now being used as a weapon against Obama? Guess what's going to happen when Republicans get back into the White House this next go-round. The same tools/weapons are going to be pulled out by the other side, and the people who are using them against Oba...

A lack of healthcare reform is stealing pieces of the farm, dirt clod by dirt clod, and giving the farmer's crops away to people who never held a shovel.

August sounds fantastic. Even if I can only get there for a weekend, it would be well worth it. Will we be packing tents?

Ashiwi

There's a reason curing cancer is what Americans are best at when it comes to healthcare. We have to have a whole lot of cancers to cure in order to support all those specialized treatment centers, so we have to have tons and tons of reasons for diagnostic tests to find the cancers that create the m...

I'm all about forests and Pacific and northwest.

Can't do it soon, though. I'm gonna have to bank some PTO for a bit.

Did nobody read the news recently on the price increases planned for movies at the theater? The logic given to support the increases was as blatantly honest as it gets. "The exhibitors are trying to push the needle on ticket prices and see where it ends up. So far charging a $3 or $4 premium ha...

Because Eddybear will be there, and mountains are a perfectly good excuse for Heidi pigtails.

Although, now that I think about it, Eddybear didn't really say he would be there. Eddybear???

Ashiwi

Mmmmmmm, Eddiebear in a secluded mountain retreat. Okay, I'm in! Gimme a date and lemme book a plane!

Did somebody say "camping in a national park"?

I'd be all about Yellowstone or another national park. As long as I don't get eaten by a bear. If I get eaten by a bear I'll be pissed.

I know that it's easier for larger companies to compete than it is these smaller companies, in spite of how much they're paying their employees. Large companies get such bulk-rate discounts on services and goods that it costs them far less per employee than the smaller companies. On top of that are ...

They should save a special room in that facility to lock mudders up together, too. You wouldn't even have to foot the cost of the dope. Just the corpse clean-up.

Ashiwi

I always thought they should make the drugs free to the general population. High grade, free, with places where they can go and shoot up in safety in as much quantity and frequency as they want. We'd have the cost of the dope, the cost of the facilities, and the cost of the team to go in and remove,...

You know, I had real concerns about Clinton trying something like that before the end of his term. Just imagine a forced continuation of his presidency.

Ashiwi

Actually, I'm in total agreement with you on this one, and had similar thoughts while reading the articles about the incident. If she was cleared of the previous charges, how and why was the university supposed to be informed of them? Unless she was charged with a crime, nobody has a "right&quo...

I guess I'm just missing it all. I keep looking for stupid pet tricks, but all I'm really seeing are stupid human tricks.

Because his ex-girlfriend took pictures of his right buttcheek, posted them online, and harrassed him over it. At his next frat party he was seen beer-bonging until he vomited, and tears were seen streaking down his face. Everybody knew how tore up he was over what she said. When he was in the car a...

Seriously, log in and let us know you're doing okay. We miss you!

I happen to adore Teflor. And I really liked that movie he did as a kid ... "Up".

Some kids are jerks. They usually get it from their parents. Some kids are weak. They usually get it from their parents. It's actually everybody's fault, because the parents are to blame for raising their kids to be that way, the community is to blame for not expecting parents to hold their children...

So you don't advocate making the owner take financial responsibility for their animals? And it's okay for all those idiots you referenced to keep overloading the system, their neighborhoods, and rural areas, with litter after litter of unwanted kittens and puppies because they don't have to be respo...

Ashiwi

Considering how much abandoned animals cost the local government, how dangerous they can end up being to pedestrians, the hazard they cause when they get into the roads with moving traffic, and all the other costs associated with them that people other than the owners have to pay, I'm really surpris...

There's a difference between challenging aggressively, and attacking in order to belittle, demean, or ridicule. Challenging somebody's viewpoint and beliefs in meaningful discussion invites the growth of ideas, cross-cultural educational opportunities, and the chance to build a greater understanding...

Ashiwi

First, I'm just going to point out that I am Agnostic, and have my own issues with organized Christianity, so this isn't coming from somebody defending their own belief set. Attacking somebody else's religion is just wrong. Whether it comes from a secular or non-secular viewpoint, to take a stance t...
