Someone was dumb enough to state that "you think a fetus is a person. That's your opinion".

Well, if you would have told a slave owner that his slave wass a person, he would have said "that's your opinion"

If you would have told a Nazi that the Jews were people, he would have said "that's your opinion"

I think, if it is OK to murder babies, it should be OK to murder other minorities. If you are a KKK member, and you don't think blacks are people, it is OK to "dispose" of them.

Can someone explain the differences here???

I spent my childhood in Beirut during the Civil War, and I've witnessed 8 years of continuous fighting. Has any of you seen a war happen around them? If yes, where? and do you feel that it affected the rest of your life?

Publicly-traded corporations already act as a perverted form of democracy.. one in which votes for representatives and for major decisions are bought and sold on a free market, and anyone who's willing to spend the money can buy the majority share. This is fine in their own element, but when it is necessary for candidates and parties to win corporate support in order to win a major election, especially the presidential elections or general party funds, is corporate involvement in campaign funding an inherent impediment to democracy and equality, and the one-man one-vote principal?

Au contrare, it was outside on my lawn waiting to be removed by a friend. Anyway, I was given a ticket for the dumping at the police station, and now the cop called me to let me know that the ticket he issued to me is the wrong one, and if I could stop by the station so he could give me the right one that's a mail in. Is this some kind of scam? Is he allowed to do this? Should I hire a lawyer? Please help! Thanks.

Without integrity "nothing works" therefore is accusing a party of Contempt of court a malfeasance by the judge?

Why do lawyers compromise their own and societies integrity, given few are prepared to indict a judge for malfeasance, is it something to do with collusion by the inner crown temple (cartel-private club) that threaten to remove the lawyer from the bar if they do? and if so, is this justice and upholding the law?

A conspiracy without evidence is conspiracy and conspiracy with evidence is a crime.

I keep getting harassing phone calls from 989-673-3025 in the middle of the night. I don't want to shut my phone off, just in case a family member has an emergency and need to contact me.
They obviously have no life.
How do I get this to stop without changing my phone number?
Can something be done legally to get this to stop?

Currently, the vast majority of food products sold in American grocery stores have been examined by kosher certifiers. Those that pass can print an obscure symbol, such as a U in a circle or simply the letter "K" on the label. Those who do not recognize these symbols, or read hebrew, are unaware that the product is kosher.

Since less than 2% of the US poplation keeps kosher, the costs of this process are passed on to unwitting non-kosher consumers. Kosher activists love to trot out a tired 1975 article from the NY Times in which an unnamed source claims that the cost per unit for certification is "6.5 millionths of a cent", but this is ludicrous. At that rate the rabbis would only collect one dollar for every 6.5 BILLION units sold.

So, in all fairness, should non-kosher consumers continue to be forced to subsidize a system that in no way improves the quality of our food supply?

I think we cal all agree that racism is a bad thing; It has no place in the 21st century. What I can't understand is how something like affirmative action is tolerated.
Affirmative action is a PC name for racisim; it discriminates against people because of the color of their skin. I think it is extremely hypocritical for black people preach the evils of racism in one hand and tacitly accept its practice in the other. The message it sends is that it is ok to be racist against Caucasians but it is unacceptable to be racist against any other group. Does anyone else see the lunacy of this position?
