It's "obvious" to whom? Because jobs aren't created out of the desire to provide work, they're created by demand for a product or service, and nothing else. Demand is created by people with discretionary income. Discretionary income is in short supply among the majority of working class...

Neither would work, sigh. Disabling text in a moving vehicle would include passengers in the back seat, and on the bus. And parents should set an example, [and probably many do], but that doesn't mean teens will follow, and btw: the majority of people I see texting while driving are adults. It...

It's not about what the church requires, it's about "religious beliefs" and practices. Many nuns no longer wear habits, but others do, and consider it important. Would a judge order them to remove it? I don't think so. Even the title says "headscarf" - the hijab doesn't cover the face, or...

I applaud your view - but it's not in agreement with the legislators who said it is about allowing churches to "pick somebody to drive the bus", or with the anti-regulation crowd. None of whom offer specific regulations, I notice. But every regulation has a reason, including the need for a...

It happened because someone made a mistake, and someone else repeated it - not unusual, in journalism. Is the "stepping over each other to do hit pieces" rationale applied to mistakes about liberals, too?

Georgia judge jails Muslim woman for wearing headscarf to court | Law | The Guardian Interesting question: would the judge order a nun to remove her head covering?

I think it does matter, because tv/video doesn't give one time to absorb what they're hearing, to question it, or to check the sources & quotes. Reading allows one to do that, and to see the degree of bias.

Calm down, Barkley, the Daily Beast has retracted the story and apologized to the Gov. In their defense, they did ask one of his staffers for clarification, [Friday], and got a truly muddled answer, which sounds like the staffer didn't know anything. It's human to err - what matters is how you...

Another attack on Christians - or wait, maybe it's Mexicans. :rolleyes: What a moron!

Just wait till they hear from their insurance carrier, lol. BTW: the Ga legislator in the link from Mj's post is seriously deranged. Truly, deeply, madly deranged.

There's even less fact in that article than in this one, from the same site: Franklin Graham Exposes Obama's Secret Plan For America's Downfall But people who frequent that site don't need [or want] facts, apparently. Fake outrage and smug [though false] superiority will do just fine.

As I mentioned before, the public comment period for the "right to work" legislation" logged 1751 people against, and 25 for, with many uncounted because it was abruptly shut down ahead of schedule. All those people were prescreened, so the pretense that the legislation didn't make a LOT of...

Sorry, but the disorder Oppositional Defiance isn't about thinking for yourself, or questioning authority, it's about hostility and defiance without provocation. It's well outside the bounds of normal behavior, even for hormonal teenagers. It's responding to a perceived slight or offense with a...

Re: Who's decision is it to determin which loads the truck takes, Driver or Fleet Own Agreed. It sounds like the driver is an extortionist, and is threatening to quit for more leverage. I'd call his bluff, [or let someone else pay him what he wants], and find someone more reasonable to work...

My gut feeling is you're avoiding something here....

Baking a cake is not "catering", it's a simple transaction in which a buyer obtains a commodity, while catering is a service that requires a commitment to ensure a very large part of the success of an event. A concern about potential legal liability has far more validity than a refusal...

If this response is typical "Southern graciousness" in the face of skepticism, I doubt there's enough ExLax in existence to promote your 'movement'. The need to be personally insulting [and ugly, to boot] says a lot. Even more than the need to be insulting over minor typos and/or misspelled...

That reminds me, how's that 'movement' referenced in your tagline coming along? :confused:

Maybe because intelligent people who want to [at least try] to absorb and understand events don't rely on cable or video for most of their knowledge. Also, because there's just one network that proclaims it's "Fair & Balanced" when it's obviously neither.

When 100,000 people show up to protest a Governor's decision, I can only imagine how much anger he can inspire from people who work for a living, as a POTUS.
