Consider the following scenarios and tell us what you'd do:

1.) Oil companies locate new sources of petroleum by hiring geologists -- geologists whose science is predicated on Earth being billions of years old, not thousands. Would you refuse to buy gas for your car if it was made using this "false" science? Would you demand that the oil companies offer "Young Earth-compliant" alternatives?

2.) You were the sole breadwinner for your family. You've been in an accident, and are paralyzed from the neck down. Stem cell research has perfected a process that will restore your body completely. Would you undergo the treatment, or remain paralyzed and risk an uncertain future?

3.) Your child is deathly ill with a bacterial infection. In days of old, penicillin would cure your child. But your doctor tells you the bacteria has evolved to resist penicillin. He recommends a "cocktail" of antibiotics to save her life. Do you accept the "evolution-based" cure, or take your chances?

I'm considering not eating meat or rather not very often. I know red meat isn't that good for you but what about chicken and fish?

It seems that whenever we liberals show concern towards the disenfranchised in some manner or other, we are often called "bleeding hearts". Since when did compassion become a bad thing? Isn't it better to have a "bleeding heart" than no heart at all?

Here's a personal story.

This past Father's Day, I attended a family dinner with my mom, dad, grandpa, and uncle.

My uncle is a born-again Christian, and a fundie in the worst way. The topic of religion came up somehow, and here's the story he told me.

AIDS was not spread to humans from monkies. It was engineered by humans by combining several known diseases (he named some, but I forget), and then distributed to gay men in New York City, and to Africa via Hep B innoculations, for the purpose of world population control.

WHAT THE F**K!!!!!!!????

I almost said that. Instead, I calmly replied, "Why Africa? Asia has a far larger population," for the sake of argument.
He said, "Uh...well, AIDS is there, too...right?"

How can people defend a religion that promotes this crap? He honestly believes these things. And I know that there are a great many Christians who aren't bigots, but there seem to be alot who are as well.

Oh yeah, a question...hm...

My gyn just told me to take 3 cycles of clomid on the 5th day of AF for 5 days and then provera on the 15th day for 10 days...so am I supposed to think that I will have my AF these 3 months? Why should I have to wait 3 months to get pg or it is possible to get pg with this continuous medication....

i've read that if AF doesn't come with clomid, you should make a test and if its negative take the provera....but my gyn said nothing about that he told me to take the 3 complete cycles...i am pretty confused because if the clomid works I wouldn't know right? because i would take the provera and make my AF to come....HELP PLEASE!!!!!

i was hoping to get pg this month not in three months and i've been very sad since yesterday i found this out

How would it feel to be woke up in the middle of the night and find yourself surrounded by armed men wanting to not only rob you, but refuse to leave until you completely change your life? Then you try to call for help and you find that more armed men are coming, not to help you, but to help them? Let's get to the facts, this war isn't about anything other then oil. The US wants to rob them for their oil. Now we are saying that not only are we not leaving, but that we want them to change their lives completely. How would you feel if another country came here and said you know what, we don't like the way you do things so we are going to force you to change your government whether you like it or not? Do you think that the US would really just stand and take it? Before you are so quick to support the war, there are a few things that you need to look into, such as Operation Mongoose from 1962, publicly exposed in 1997. Also what al-queda stands for and do research on Islam.

I'm making some clay charms and the other day I had one fall off from the eye pin when I was hooking it to a cell strap. What can I do to prevent this? Do you put any type of glue on it?

Think hard...there's always something good during each decade. If you can't think of anything for 90s or 00s, then you should stop relying on what you hear in mainstream america (or europe) as your source.
