My state, Wyoming, does not. And we are not a "backwards, hick, intolerant" state. Far from it. We are the kind of people that are "Live and let live, so long as you don't shove your beliefs in our faces, if you do, we hit you in the face."

When the Republicans controlled the Senate, it was all their fault.
When the Republicans controlled the Congress, it was all their fault.
Now that the Democrats control the Senate, its still the Republicans fault.
Now that the Democrats control the Congress, its still the Republicans fault.

What am I missing with your logic?

Consider what Thomas Jefferson had to say on the subject.

"Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? Fallible men, governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity? But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVII, 1782. ME 2:223

Instead of our troops being all over the place and spread too thin, we bring them all home, and let the other nations fend for themselves?
Or let the United Nations try to police the world?

Your Thoughts?

This must be the most disgusting repoert I have seen for a long time. The government keep shouting about getting us back to work and super new projects to help and then they give it all to people who should not be here, I will say once again, There is just not enough space in Britain for the whole bloody world. Start to look after us and ours first.

When yahoo message boards were still working, I labeled this situation a "b----slap".

For some reason it caught on and people from both sides of the aisle were using it.

But now, I don't know if I can use the term because people on yahoo answers are report happy. Anything even remotely unPC gets reported.

So I'm suggesting we call it a "spanking".

What do you think?

Canada, a socialist country, ALLOWS their press to discuss the fact that there is no solid evidence of global warming? NO WAY!

Climate researcher Dr. Tad Murty, former Senior Research Scientist for Fisheries and Oceans in Canada, also reversed himself from believer in man-made climate change to a skeptic. "I stated with a firm belief about global warming, until I started working on it myself," Murty explained on August 17, 2006. "I switched to the other side in the early 1990's when Fisheries and Oceans Canada asked me to prepare a position paper and I started to look into the problem seriously," Murty explained. Murty was one of the 60 scientists who wrote an April 6, 2006 letter urging withdrawal of Kyoto to Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper which stated in part, "If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary."

Some con said I was doing it wrong, laughed at me, and stated that I was no good in math.

Then after I pointed out how he was wrong and I was right, he admitted his mistake, but then today I find out the question where he admitted he was wrong has been deleted.

Do you think that's a coincidence or do you think the guy reported the question for deletion so I wouldn't embarass him with over and over again?

"LOL. YOU DIDNT EVEN USE THE CORRECT FORMULA. PERCENT CHANGE IS (C2-C1)/C2"

"I knew economics was not a strong suit but now figured math is too. THATS NOT THE SAME THING. "

I was prompted to ask this, because I have seen some people argue that Muhammed was a pedophile in order to discredit the Muslim religion. As some of you may already know, Muhammed's wife, Aisha, was about 9 or 10 when she married him. Of course, in the time and place in which we live, such behavior would be considered unacceptable, but let's take a few things into consideration. For one thing, children and teenagers haven't always been treated as they are now. If anything, through much of history they have been treated as small adults. Second, throughout history, marriages have often been based on political alliances rather than romantic love. In fact, in Muhammed's day, marriages in Arabic society were often arranged so that tribes could forge alliances. Not only that, but Muhammed certainly isn't the only historical figure to have had a child bride. In fact, it is said that Mary was probably 12-14 years old when she married Joseph. Nowadays, in most Western countries a person

She said she feel she needs to know more how his Religion filters through.

Normally I'm laughing at things she says that pour into the news, as indicative of a kind of sad lack of intelligence and critical thinking skills more pervasive in this country today.

But I'm not laughing like that now.
I could reasure someone like her that a question like hers shouldn't be relevant, if it were JFKennedy.

But Mitt Romney clearly does not advocate for separation of church and state.
So, God bless her simple minded innocent perspective for once, Why on earth should her question be dismissed irrelevant?

based on faith alone?

Everytime I show evidence proving the economy grows faster when the government invests in the American people instead of government that gives their wealthy friends tax cuts...

they tell me the facts don't matter.

If the percent change in:
- inflation adjusted GDP
- inflation adjusted GDP per capita
- poverty rates
- inflation adjusted median incomes
, etc, etc don't matter,

what does?

Should we just take their word for it?
