The issue is federal funding. Why? Because there's no other source for the money! Why do they want the money if the research is going to lead nowhere? It doesn't matter. They want the money. Everybody needs a living. Hey, if you could live off the federal government with grants instead of working, would you do that? Why don't these researchers go out, if they're so brainy, why don't they borrow the money? If it's so promising, do what everybody else does: go borrow money. But no, there's in assumption the government must pay for it. "Why this is health! Why, this is medicine! The government must pay for this."

Well, no, the government shouldn't, especially if it's a black hole. Its' the same thing here with global warming. It's all about funding, and the people who want funding from the governments that believe this thing will write reports saying human beings are the sole cause, the primary cause, whatever, of global warming. There are others who, on the basis of their own research, say, "No, you can't prove it yet," and so the clowns that are running around trying to get government money from all over the world then turn what they're doing around, they say, "Ah, these people are being funded by Big Oil, these people being are being funded by people that pollute and want to keep polluting so that they don't have to be held accountable for the global warming."
The bottom line is there's no consensus in science on this, and there's nothing in science that says embryonic stem cells show promise. So what we have here is the politicization of medicine. This is the sad and shocking thing. We used to approach the cure for diseases in a truly bipartisan way, but now we don't. Now we've got Democrats and their allies with commercials all over saying certain Republicans are against curing this disease that you have or your friends have or other Americans have. They don't want people to get better, and so what we have, Democrats lying to sick people in this country, creating false hope (which is truly cruel) that this line of research will lead to something substantive, when it won't.

Even the people who say it might, say we need 15 to 20 years. Where have we heard that? In 1994 I heard we need 20 years to prove global warming, but we can't afford to wait because if we're wrong, it will be too late to stop it. Well, it's 20 years, and they still say, "We need more time. We can't afford to wait." Others are saying it's too late. They're all over the ballpark. Others are saying, "We can't fix global warming." Well, if we can't fix it, how the hell could we have caused it? It's just simple logic. If we're the reasons for it, and it's happening, then we ought to be able to stop what we're doing. But no, no, no, the problem's gone so far, the earth is now more powerful than we are.

It wasn't 20 years ago we had the power to totally destroy the climate on this planet, but we don't anymore because it's gotten so bad, we've so destroyed it, there's nothing we can do to fix it. That's what some of them say. They're all over the ballpark. But this is all about funding. Now, they've already politicized science, and let there be no mistake. We've talked about this. There's a presumption just like there is with law enforcement, they never lie, they never falsely accuse. They never go after the wrong guy. Why would they? They're the good guys. They're the guys with white hats. They're trying to spare us and save us from all the evil that's out there.

"Science? Why, these are these guys in white coats and the lab coats, and they're out there trying to cure disease and so forth. They wouldn't lie!" Yes, they will. They will lie for money; they will mislead for money. They politicize the arts; they politicize the English language. The liberals have politicized everything, and I just have to laugh when I listen to the liberals talk about how partisan conservatives are and how divisive Republicans and conservatives are. How the hell more divisive can you be than to run ads on television accusing Republicans of not wanting to cure people who have terminal diseases?

How much more divisive can it be than when it's a flat-out lie. When their spokesman hasn't even read the constitutional amendment in Missouri on which they're based, how in the world are you supposed to trust anything? That amendment, in fact, everybody gets caught up talking about it as a stem cell amendment because they very cleverly titled it stem cell research and whatever it is. It's a pro-cloning amendment, and the embryonic stem cell people say, "We're not killing embryos, we're cloning them! We're cloning embryos, and we're not going to kill any embryos. This is not an abortion issue."

They're doing everything they can to obfuscate what they really want to do, but it's nothing more than your typical liberal money grab. All money is theirs, as long as they can get somebody to get into your back pocket and take it out of your back pocket and hand it over to them, and that's what global warming is all about, that's what embryonic stem cell research is all about, and we see this massive new green tax increase being proposed for the UK, sit tight, folks. With the right people in Washington, it'll happen here.

My bestfriends parents dont treat her well. My bestfriend is a straight-A student, is on highest honors, and the track and volleyball teams. But she is always, and I mean ALWAYS grounded. I think the last time we did something together was Halloween, yeah sad I know. She has even said her parents slap her. I confronted her about it and she said they dont do it often and they dont do it hard, and that she has even wondered if it was abuse, but she said it wasnt. What should I do? Confront her parents? Call DCFS or Supernanny? Stay quiet and let her parent turn this kid into a rebel? HELP!!

My cat, Corwin (Prince Corwin of Amber) is a cross between a Lilac Point Himalayan and a Siamese. He has lovely markings, with a black nose, cornflower blue eyes, black ears, tawny and gray (blue) fur, a blue tail and black paws. My sister, who is a cat breeder, says he is purebred "Snowshoe," a breed just recently recognized. But the Cat Fancy web site says snowshoes have white paws. His sister from the same litter has white paws. Are either of them purebreds? Not that it matters. Corwin is a wonderful cat. I just want to know if he's really a "Snowshoe" or just a "Himmie-cross."

Here is an easy one or hard one you make the call. If modern man was to be wiped out today and only our ape counterparts were to survive do you think that evolution would follow the same path it did before and create another planet full of humans like us or would another race or species take over? If apes are still evolving then it stands to reason that even if humans wiped themselves out another form of humanity would stand to take our place.

I work as a "geek-for-hire" installing/fixing computers, POS systems, repairing tv's, etc. I want to be able to deduct my 37" lcd (I use it as my computer monitor), a used vehicle I purchased through financing, upgrades to my computer, 2 laptops and various tools used for the work I do, all purchased in the 2006 tax year. So if I can claim all these things, mileage as well, I'll definitely have a loss and be able to get back alot if not all of my taxes. However I would like to avoid an audit if I could, although I kept all my receipts to back it up. Is this okay?

The question - do you think it's okay for a guy to wear lycra spandex shorts when working out at the gym?

Me, I'm tall and pretty much built like an pro-football tight end (no pun intended). The gym isn't my life, but it will always be a part of my life. I work out hard to stay in shape and black lycra shorts just seem to feel better and function better than baggier shorts. My wife gets really turned on by it too :)

So, spandex shorts or no spandex shorts? If you like the idea - why? If you hate it - why? Do you immediately assume a dude is gay because of it?

*I wear cotton t-shirts or sweat shirts on top

couch most of the time. I have brought this up to him on many occasions about how it makes me feel. It doesn't seem like I'm getting through to him. Is it time for me to cut the relastionship off since he doesn't seem like he wants to sleep with me anymore. He said he keeps falling asleep on the couch. It's not like I don't give it up to him. We make love about 4-5 times a week. What should I do?

There is said to have been a lost continent like Atlantis in the Pacific Ocean called Lemuria. My studies indicate that they migrated to Easter Island and the Indus Valley.
There are in fact two "lost" languages known to man that are almost identical. One comes from Easter Island, the other from the Indus Valley!
The Giant Heads on Easter Island are supposed to be a memorial to the Lost Land

I was late on my payment last month which put me over the credit limit on my credit card and my minimum payment this month is now $200.00! Crazy... I know, but I have another card with nothing on it. Should I transfer the balance of my over limit card to the other one so that I wont be charget all of those extra fees? Also will I even be able to transfer the balance, since I owe money and it is over the limit already? Do I have to pay first? thanks to all of your answers in advance...

Im going to florida on the 19th. I live in NJ. Technicaly I could drive but it would be so much easier to fly. The reasons why I want to fly are:

I have a 13 year old.
I have a 1 year old.
Its so much quicker
My car is small.

I want to drive because:

The ticket will cost close to $1,000.00.
I'm terrified to get on a plane.

I figured we could start driving Saturday night so the kids could sleep the whole way. My Husband will drive for 5 hours than I'll finish. We will stop somewhere in the middle to hang out. Then we will start again Sunday night and do the same thing. We will get to Florida by Monday.

Also we would save money because we wouldnt need to rent a car

Has anyone ever made a 20 hour trip in a car with kids????
