I mean look how many problems the VA has and it is FREE healthcare for our veterans(who deserve it). But I only hear complaints about long waits, not enough staffing etc. I hate to say it but our privatized healthcare is the only way to go for quality healthcare . I just think people need to either make enough to buy your own healthcare or get a job with benefits.

Your female employee tells you that one of the male employees made “a pass” at her and if he is not fired, she will sue for sexual harassment. Later that day you find out that they went on a date together last week, but he “dumped her”.

I am tired of people worrying about other countries and not our own ! I'm tired of schools being over crowded because of the problem the government has put on to the people of america!! If illegals can come here and fight for rights in OUR country, why can't they stay in their own country and fight to take back their country?!

Okay, I have an honest question here, because this is not connecting in my mind at all. Please leave out your Bible answers, because I can't reason with a book that's being shoved in my face.

How is your marriage, Joe-Bob Redneck's marriage, or anyone else's marriage even marginally affected by the gay couple down the street getting married? And even if it is, how does that become their problem?

If you really want to strengthen marriage, why aren't you lobbying to get rid of divorce? Not make it harder, get rid of it entirely? That might make marriage more sacred. I seriously think that Britney Spears being married for 55 hours weakens marriage a lot more than me wanting to marry my girlfriend.

Could someone explain this to me?
