It's not working ladies, time to get a new gig.

My father died and I asked how could there be "God" when there is nothing to stop the atrocities of painful disease.There is nothing to stop the atrocities in this world, whether in hospitals or on battlefields. Religiousness in the face of death is denial of the inevitability of our ruin.

And here's the big surprize(sarcasm):
-They couldnt answer with logic
-They wouldnt respond with love
-3 questions have been removed to shut me up
-They were rude and insulting.

Fact is, with my fathers death, and with the "men" on the far right throwing down their makeup brushes in anger because they dont want to see me prooving Atheism is true, all they can do is fillibuster with crying to the Abuse Department to shut me up.

Didnt we know all this "peace and love" crap is about donations,not 'god"?

Didnt we already know monotheism hates free speech?

GREAT LOVE FROM YOU HYPOCRITES IN MY TIME OF MOURNING.
care to proove me wrong?

I have to say after watching Sicko for the first time last night, I have never felt more ashamed to be an American. When United States citizens including some heros that helped with the 911 travesty need to go to Cuba for medical attention because they are denied treatment due to our government being greased by drug and insurance companies, it makes me sick. If you haven't seen it, its a must. Why are we so afraid of our government?

Less violence in Iraq...maybe, but maybe most of the killing is over because everyone slated for killing is already dead. Meanwhile the war spreads to other areas....which to me is just an extention of the same war. Overall the death rate seems to be the same if not more. Just because the 'war was over in Normandy', that didn't mean the war was over...it had just moved on. Wadda' 'ya think?

Hi,
I recently found out someone was trying to find out where I work and what I do for a living. I got scared I thought I was being investigated without my consent.

I realized that three months ago I was looking for a job and so I applied in different companies and some of this companies do background checks. At first I freaked out but then I confirmed it was for work applications only.

It got me so curious... how can Private investigators or detectives find all that info? Where do they go? Any databases of my records that can be given without my consent?

Also any way to keep an eye for all those things that run without me knowing about it?

My boyfriend was arrested on Oct 2nd. The charges were bogus, basically lies. After the person testified to it, the grand jury no-billed it which means all charges dropped. Now...back in Sept 06, he was sentenced to 6 months but only did 4 and was released in Jan 07. Leavin him with 2 months, but got on 2 years parole instead. So when he was arrested Oct 2nd, this county put a hold on him. Now that these charges have been dropped, he is there and going to go in front of a judge this coming week. Since there was technically no parole violation, do you think a judge will actually hold him for nothing or worse, make him serve that last 2 months? He just did 44 days for NOTHING so perhaps they will give him credit for time served? Any information would help me, im not use to this and dont know the system! Please no bad comments!! Thanks!

Just tell them your voting for Hillary!
(Even if your not!)

Isn't it a GREAT feeling to know that they are
scared to death and angry that the Clintons
are going back to the White House?

Is it true?

It always takes a Clinton
to clean up after the scummy Bush's?

He's the only one who votes and stays with his vote.

All the other candidates seen to vote your something and then change their mind with it's already too late.

I read recently in a Wall Street Journal an article that posed this same question.

"Will those who denigrate our administration, denigration beyond the pale, listen to people who have made it their living to pull down America?

First, denigrate the president and the rest of the world will follow, and as goes the American President so goes the Country.

Disagree, sure, but the current dem policy of personal degredation hurts this Country."

It appears to me that people in the U.S. will go to great lengths to condemn the man THEY voted into office. If he isn't doing a good job, speak out. But does consistently blasting the office of President and your own country make the world see us as a weak nation?

"I spent decades scrutinizing the U.S. from Europe, and I learned that international respect for America is directly proportional to America's own respect for its president. "

I bounced two checks a while back (I'm a single mom with three kids and I thought another check was on it's way and it didn't get here in time for me to pay the checks) so the grocery store turned them over to the DA and the DA has a bad check program. You have to pay a TON of money and go to a class. I was scheduled for the class. They said this is the latest day I can take it (which was the only day I could get baby sitting for my kids) and I went to the wrong address (there are two streets by that name) so I was 15 minutes late and I didn't get in to the class. I signed a sheet saying that I had made an effort to go but that I did not attend due to being late. Could I go to jail over this?

Who can define common sense and intelligence. I have noticed several times through my life that the more intelligent a person is deemed to be the less common sense they display. Anyone else....

I'm tired of so called "christians" not wanting tax money to go to health care, and yet not having a problem supporting corporate welfare and no-bid defense contractors run by Dick's buddies.

I expect to be considered for with such a degree? I really want to eventually become a State Game Warden, but i know positions are hard to come by, and its not something that im likely to get into right away.... any suggestions helpful here, even if you say not to pursue such a degree.

The only jobs i can think that this will offer would be park ranger, cop, or game warden, and I'm afraid thats a very limited variety, since a few of those positions are hard to come by...I've also been accepted into a Respiratory Therapy program, and am wondering which path to take? I would love to be a Warden, but I'm just worried about how long it will take/ the possibilityof even becoming one. My state is Pennsylvania, if that helps. =)

Many women, when asked why would they vote for Hillary, the response is "Because she is a woman". Does the posession of ovaries make you a qualified leader? Does she have any other qualifications? If she feels picked on by others at the debates, how could she handle difficult decisions if our country was attacked? She had a poor memory when questioned under oath, could her memory improve if she were President? Do you think Hillary has USA's best interests in mind? Or do you believe she is looking for a power rush?
