A girl (about 17 yrs) in my college class asked the teacher whether lettuce comes from a plant. Do you have any more disturbing stories than this?

Im not trying to sound sexist or anything and for all the feminists out there im sure your all about the idea of a female president, but to have a female president of the U.S.? Wouldnt that in comparison to all other nations be a sign of weakness amongst our leadership? Im sure to get negtive feedback on this (opposing this question) since, afterall you all get the last word. So please...if your gonna be negative, BE BRUTAL!!! What do you think?

Can’t the whole subject be narrowed down to just one phrase; God done it? If it teaches our children to read the bible to find the answers about the mysteries of the universe, then isn’t this subject already covered at Sunday school?

you can be a mafia boss, drug smuggler, rapist. but while being all that you can still wear that cross around your neck, and after you retired from all that evil stuff. go to church and ask the priest to forgive you, he'll forgive you as long as you accept christ as your Saviour and you are officially REBORN a christian. all those people you put in the grave, all those woman you raped, all those families you hurt are put behind. by just saying, i accept jesus in my heart.

what do you say, i really want to hear. and by the way please stick to the subject.

ISN'T THIS THE TRUTH ??????

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of
women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn,
you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.
Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman
leaving the stall.
You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait
has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the
modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but
empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but
there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck,
Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank
down your pants, and assume " The Stance."
In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake.
You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wip e the
seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance."
To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you
discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can
hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the
seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake
more.
You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday,
the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your
neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at
the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest
way possible. It's still smaller than your thumbnail .
Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The
door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your
chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the
toilet.
"Occupied!" you scream, as you reach f or the door, dropping your
precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your
footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is
wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late.
Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life
form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper -
not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that
your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're
certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because,
frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could
get."
By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so
confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose
against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that
covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The
flush somehow suck s everything down with such force that you grab onto the
empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.
At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and
the wet toilet seat.
You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your
pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.
You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic
sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk
past the line of women still waiting.
You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the
very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from
your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from
your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you
just might need this."
As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used,
and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took y ou so long,
and why is your purse hanging around your neck?"
This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public
restrooms (rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to
the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other
commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs.
It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand
you Kleenex under the door!

....is a republican-perpetrated assault on the civil liberties of Americans? I saw a democrat congressman complaining that A.G. Gonzales cannot be left as the "gatekeeper of American Civil Liberties" as is now the case with the newest iteration of FISA.

If the new FISA puts us in such great peril as the democrats say, why did a democrat-controlled house and senate pass it in the first place?

Is it that democrats care about our liberties, but not enough to keep them from caving in to republican evil so they could go on their one month vacation?

...or did evil republicans somehow force enough democrats to vote for it to make it pass?

I'm really mystified how a party can pass legislation and then immediately turn around and gripe about it. Can someone please explain?

NOTE: "Bush Bush Bush Bush Puhtooooeee" is NOT an explanation.
