    And the bigotry continues

    And maybe they'll be able to discover what makes a small percentage of people left handed, too, and eliminate them from a life of not fitting in.....The only difference is that homosexuality involves sex, and that's anathema in our Puritan influenced culture.

    Taking offense at flags

    I wouldn't have thought 'rural Kentucky', about a Chinese speaking black man who plays cello and does beat boxing, but add intellectual? Dead giveaway, lol. PS Heard this medley last week, it's awesome!

    Taking offense at flags

    Music can create the strangest partnerships ever, lol. Back in the days when I was ripping and burning CDs for the road, one of my favorites was 'oddfellow duets', like Brian Setzer [of the Stray Cats, a rockabilly band] and Ann Margaret. It really is our one common language.

    And the bigotry continues

    It's been pointed out numerous times that even putting aside the issue of reciprocity [which states will honor another state's licensing?], too many customers prohibit weapons on their property. If neither were a problem, I'd be trained, licensed, and armed, but I can't see it happening.

    And the bigotry continues

    I recently watched a documentary on HBO about Larry Kramer [didn't plan to, was waiting for 'Ender's Game', the movie!] and I think I understand a bit more about the 'in your face' tactics now. Because when AIDS first appeared, and no one knew even that it was a virus, gay people died by the...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    Gullibility has nothing to do with it, Mr Clickbait believer. I was a client of PP for many years, because I found them to be more convenient, caring, affordable, informative, and welcoming than the high price private doctors I'd seen before. As did the hundreds of other women I met there, while...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    Wow: a program that proves effective against unwanted pregnancies, which improves the chances of getting out of poverty, and the teens don't know about it if their sex education classes won't tell them, and even if they do, the insurance often won't cover it. How incredibly stupid.

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    The idea that all parents should be notified ignores the percentage of teens who don't believe it would have a reasonable outcome - and we're not talking getting grounded for awhile. We're talking actual physical harm to the teen. The number of babies born [because the teen had no alternative]...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    Of course it doesn't prevent STDs, which any legit provider would tell them, even though pregnancy prevention is their reason for requesting the device. When info is withheld, or misstated, it's because the conservative right wing demands it, not because the provider is lax.

    Inexcusable murder

    You & UncleBob are having fun with the extremist notion of killing people who enter illegally [even multiple times], but since the OP is dead serious, it's not beyond possibility that some [many?] would agree with him. Then they lecture on "the problem with liberal minds" when we disagree, lol...

    Overdrive 2015 most beautiful woman trucker

    Beautiful isn't where you guys are looking for it - it's on the inside. [ I know the Jennifer referred to, and she is one who is also attractive underneath the exterior. And he's right: her husband could do it, but I doubt he would, over a sincere compliment.] How many of you guys would...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    If 11 and 12 year old girls are to avoid having sex, it's up to their parents [and older sisters, aunts, if any] to make them understand why. But all parents aren't good ones, and even some good ones can't/won't talk about sex, and all kids don't listen anyhow. We don't want them having sex...

    New Gun Ownership Study

    I grew up with a Dad that hunted, and guns around the house were no big deal - we were taught to respect them. I don't hunt, nor enjoy shooting trap/skeet, [though my younger daughter does], but I am firmly in favor of the right to bear weapons. I have learned to shoot, at a range, taught by a...

    And the bigotry continues

    I once mentioned to a codriver [a white female] that when the street is named for ML King, you know it's not an 'upscale' neighborhood, and she said "I never would have taken you for a racist!" Huh? I thought it was a simple observation, easily confirmed: there are no streets named for MLK in...

    Inexcusable murder

    I'd call such a politician a pragmatic one: we can't afford to support everyone who wants to be here. We need to take care of our own first, and then do what we can about other countries' problems. Anchor babies just invite women to cross the border illegally, solely to give birth here, and it...

    20 years, huh? Consider how long they didn't let women vote, lol, until they did. I bet there's some [guys] who still think it was a mistake. ;)

    Tri-State Miss Understood

    Yet another contradiction: in an earlier post, you were complaining that they took your "last two checks, wen [sic] I needed it most, wen I have bills to pay". Now, you have "thousands in reserve"? And you shouldn't be surprised that they kept your escrow, ["until July, WTF?"] because they...

    Inexcusable murder

    We can't renege on those anchor babies already born, but why can't we eliminate the incentive for the future? What good is being sovereign if we can't change the laws that don't work for us anymore?

    Taking offense at flags

    You can't just replace the Confederate flag, it's a historical symbol. Many people [myself included] were surprised to learn that it's a symbol of oppression and racism to many other people, but since it is, it shouldn't be flown by the government. Nor should it be banned from private use or...
