Let me be clear about this, I have no objection to the state giving a helping hand to people who are unemployed because of unavoidable circumstances but why should taxpayers have to pay for people who simply will not work? Why do some unemployed people justify their refusal to accept a job offer on the grounds that they would be worse off than on benefits.
We the taxpayers are not here to guarantee anyone's income level. What do you think?

My friends are away travelling, and I'm here by myself, and will be all night.
My parents don't really do New Year's celebrations, and my mum's not feeling so good anyway and will be going to bed at a normal time.
So I'm here by myself. I've tried pretending I don't care, but actually, I do.
Does anyone else find the idea of being alone tonight quite depressing?

Is any group more discriminated against?

I mean, we have openly gay people in congress and gays cable TV channels - but just try to run for office as an atheist or get an atheist channel on TV. Ain't gonna happen.

"Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is transient. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth."

"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten."

Are these from the bible, or another religious text? Opinions.

Is there anything about the divorce? And, if there is, what does it say?

Once married always married, or does it accept a second marriage?

How long has this femi-nazi movement been coming along now? I guess WWII was the big kick off, so say about 60 years or so. And after all this time these women still have nothing productive to say? Wouldn't we be better off if they'd just sit down and shut up like God intended in the first place?

I know it's a pointed question and I'm not trying to bait you. But personally, how do you explain this "evidence" that keeps turning up that suggests a world older than you think and so vastly different from what we know today? Does it cast doubt? How do you think they got there, what do you think they really are?
