In addition to the news posted below, has anyone noticed that most of the Democrats being touted for top positions have a known history of corruption? How is this any different from the Republicans' corruption that Pelosi claimed she is intent on cleaning up? Will the Republicans go back to their principles or are we doomed to live in a country where we have 2 corrupt parties fighting for (limited) power?

I was originally strongly pro-choice, until I read this

Wants to postpone childbearing: 25.5%
Wants no (more) children: 7.9%
Cannot afford a baby: 21.3%
Having a child will disrupt education or job: 10.8%
Has relationship problem or partner does not want pregnancy: 14.1%
Too young; parent(s) or other(s) object to pregnancy: 12.2%
Risk to maternal health: 2.8%
Risk to fetal health: 3.3%
rape or incest 1%

My whole reason why I thought women should be able to choose was because it was their body and if they got raped it was not their choice to have sex. When I found out these numbers I was shocked.

Anyone care to share their opinions. Please don’t talk about the government infringing on our rights. I'm just interested in those who are pro-choice and why morally?

Asked this one once before but didn't get the answer I was looking for, just a lot of "AK47 rules" or "M16 #1", so here it goes again. What is overall the best modern assault rifle produced currently and why? Any country, cost not being a factor.

how do you stop them, how do you convince them to stop. And worse, if you know they will go on to hurt abuse kill others, are you responsible for not stopping them?
And last so we have no confusion here, this person, is someone you love.
This is totally hypothetical, it is a philosophical question I would like to see better worded.
But better, I would love to hear your answers.

I'm looking for suggestions on what I should send my boyfriend who is currently stationed in Iraq? more specifically, what should I send for Thanksgiving?

I've sent him granola bars, cereal, canned fruit, etc.. he doesn't really like sweets too much- and I did just send him some homemade crumb cake (hopefully it'll make it okay)..

Any suggestions please... THANK YOU!!

Here's a thing that gets me. I think some people are going in a dangerous direction, in regards to attacking political correctness in the country. OK, yes political correctness is related to certain things, in the country. Like

a)calling anyone who supports border control "racist" (though unlike many "patriots", I am a caring human being who cares for some kind of solution)

b) certain issues regarding homosexuality (though, "natural" or not, it's still not really an important issue, with everything we have going on today, except for some religious people)

c) double standards for acceptance of anti-white racism

d) "Merry Christmas" thing being blown way out of proportion.

BUT, all that having been said, not being able to shove the Christian faith down everyone else's throat is NOT an issue of political correctness. It's an issue of not everyone being Christian. For example, people complaining about taking prayer out of school. This is not a "PC" issue. Unlike the Merry Christmas thing, where noone is being forced to celebrate Christmas or Christianity and people are still allowed to celebrate their own holidays, public prayer would be endorsing the notion of special rights for one particular faith.


There are some people don't know the difference between attacking political correctness and just being an *** who wants special treatment, it seems like. That could be dangerous, if the "anti-PC" movement takes a turn in the wrong direction. Who knows? Next, we may be passing laws based on PERSONAL religious morals that not everyone shares. Dangerous path. You don't see Muslims trying to pass laws to ban pork, do you? No, they just tell their own children not to eat it. Because they don't have the majority privilege, in the US, to disrespect other beliefs.

Does anyone else think there is a HUGE difference between attacking political correctness and being a rude selfish asshole? And that this anti-PC movement could be dangerous?

We moved a year ago and we left our mailbox which my mother painted herself and my granfather made. My mom said we weren't allowed to take it with us and at the time it didn't matter that much. Now a year later I see that mailbox when I drive by our old house and yearn to have it back. We've had some legal issues already with the new tenants, but they were never persued, so I dont want to start anything else up, but I want that mailbox. Can I knock on the door and ask them to sell it to me?? Or should I go to a real lawyer. Sounds petty but its an heirloom that means a lot. I could say I use to live her can I pay you $ 100?? Please help......please please. Thank you so much.
