In a country with so many social services how is it possible to end up the way he did? I didn't know it gut he hadn't worked for year but was on yahoo answers? Why were there not people to get this man counseling which it appears he so badly needed?

Something is all wrong in this country?

Adnitted we disagreed almost on everything but he was bright one of our best and brightest.

RIP My prayers go out to you.

after 911 bush had a REPUBLICAN congress for 6 years. He decided not only to NOT seal the borders but grant amnesty to millions of illegals. Is this the reason why?

"Hispanics are also the fastest growing segment of our population. Salsa outsells ketchup and tacos outsell hot dogs. One out of eight people under 35in Nebraska is Hispanic." Jeb Bush

What's the worst that could happen, the Earth and our environment would be cleaner? We would break our dependence on foreign oil and all oil for that matter? Corporations would actually have to accept responsibility for their actions and upgrade to more environmentally friendly standards and regulations? We would develop new technologies, which through research and development would create jobs, the manufacturing of those new products would create jobs, the installation of those new products would create jobs and the maintenance of those new products would create jobs? Even IF Global Warming is wrong, there are far more advantages to becoming more environmentally friendly than there are disadvantages, don't you think? Why are so many of you against protecting the environment? The environment belongs to us ALL, not just the rich corporations.

I've asked it before, I'm asking it again, in all seriousness...WHAT are REPUBLICANS Doing to Make the US and the World a BETTER place?

Republicans, neocons and conservatives are CONSTANTLY railing against global warming, the UN, this charity organization or another, they're against this cause or that cause. It doesn't seem like Republicans believe in much except for George W. Bush, "trickle down" economics, making and keeping money for themselves, and God. But you wouldn't know they believed in the latter or his Son, Jesus Christ by the way they act. So my question is What Are REPUBLICANS Doing to Make the US and the World a Better Place?

Try to keep it civil. Thanks!

She was in a car with six men whom she was not related to. The raped her, and because none of them are family members she is to be lashed and imprisoned.

her original sentence was 90 lashes and 2 months, but because she appealed the sentence it was increased. Her lawyer was stripped of his license to practice law and must go before a tribunal.

How can something like this happen in the United States. Or did it?

Do you think this is right?

This year Santas are advised to use the term 'ha ha ha' instead of the traditional 'ho ho ho' because it's offensive to women. Are you freaking serious? What is this world coming to when we have to walk on egg shells in order not to offend people? I can understand if this had any, any, ANY bit of grounds to stand on, but it doesn't! I'm sick and tired to the political correctness that is trying to be pushed on us then the government turns around and contradicts theirself.
My question is:
Wouldn't it be A LOT easier to change the slang term, rather than changing tradition? Does this also mean that The Green Giant's saying is out too? What about the gardening tool?
Is this as ridiculous to any of you as it is to me or am I way off here?

That's $3400 credit card debt per person (including babies) and $34,000 national debt per person. That does'nt account for the unimaginalbe supprime mess, the trade deficit and city, county and state debts. Which one is in your opinion the most irresposible? Just curious.

Wednesday November 14, 2007 on the House floor, Rep. John Boehner said, "... and who doesn't think that if we get out of Iraq, they won't follow us home and we will have to deal with them on the streets of America?"

Now, I understand the fear of this; BUT, is that not completely immoral to say? Is that not the exact thing as stating innocent Iraqi lives are not as valuable as American lives?

Is this not saying that it doesn't matter that we started a war in Iraq that turned out to not be for valid reasons and now we have brought Al Qaeda there... so too bad that Iraqis have to die because of our mistake?

Is he not saying that it is better our mistake cost Iraqi lives and not ours?

How is this moral, Christian behavior?

The gentleman shown above, Coragryph, passed away a few days ago in Boston.
I felt some should know, as he was a standard some of us tried to copy.
His answers were always thoughtful and thought provoking. He will be missed.
I will post this each day for the next several days so all are informed.

Rest in Peace, C.

When was the technology invented to measure temperature accurately to within one-tenth of a degree? We are told that the Earth has warmed by 0.70 degrees. But how far back in time do accurate measurements go? Didn't we invent thermometers (other than very crude models) only about 150 years ago?

Al Gore and others presume to tell us what Carbon dioxide concentration was at different times in Earth's history. They tell us they know this from gas pockets in glaciers. ARE GAS POCKETS IN GLACIERS IMPERMEABLE? Can gas molecules escape from a hole inside the ice and move through the ice over a period of thousands of years? What if there was life inside the gas pocket? If there was plant life like algae inside the pocket (before layers piled up on top, above, wouldn't the plant life use of CO2 and lower the measurement? If it was animal life, like tiny bugs, wouldn't it increase the carbon dioxide in the ice pocket? How can a gas pocket in a glacier accurately reflect the atmosphere of thousands of years ago?

They get huge salaries, bonuses & benefits & a massive retirement package when all they do is fight amongst themselves & waste copious amounts of money. Teens working at fast food shops do more work so why pay these bastards such a fortune?
