10805. anomie - 3/27/2013 7:17:40 PM Judith, you make the point for me. Our society treats marriage as little more than a contract now. It has less and less of its historic religious aspects in the minds of most people. So it's a little hypocritical for folks to be so protective of its traditional religious definition. It's a contract. If the court were deciding the issue on the basis of contract law, I believe it would be settle easily in favor of equal protection. 10806. judithathome - 3/28/2013 6:39:18 PM You're right...but I fear they aren't going to lean that way. 10807. judithathome - 4/1/2013 7:16:16 PM Anyone else worried about Dennis Rodman's new best friend in North Korea? 10808. judithathome - 4/1/2013 9:40:05 PM Dozens Indicted In Atlanta Cheating Scandal
This is depressing. 10809. arkymalarky - 4/1/2013 10:32:18 PM Welcome to the world of high-stakes testing. I'll love watching Michelle Rhee Suffer the same fate one of these days 10810. arkymalarky - 4/4/2013 3:17:13 PM I've decided not to go to yahoo any more. They're getting really out there IMO 10811. anomie - 4/5/2013 2:36:27 AM I don't like their teaser headlines. I just ignore them and check the Daily Mail for all the hot gossip. 10812. arkymalarky - 4/5/2013 3:28:40 AM They started interspersing that With some conservative Whack job Opinion pieces 10813. anomie - 4/5/2013 5:40:14 PM Whack job conservative opinions are everywhere these days. Shame. 10814. arkymalarky - 4/5/2013 5:58:52 PM True, but Yahoo was putting them in at the top With the news headlines 10815. judithathome - 4/8/2013 4:03:00 PM Maggie Thatcher dead at 87. 10816. iiibbb - 4/10/2013 8:33:11 PM What a waste of money. In a time when budgets are tight, should the USDA really go about a re-branding effort? What a waste of taxpayer money.
10817. iiibbb - 4/11/2013 2:08:15 AM apparently the update recended today 10818. judithathome - 4/13/2013 5:55:45 PM This is about the media...I have noticed in the last few days how crudely FOX News is covering the gun debate. Sean Hannity is calling the parents of dead children "fake" and "actors" and Rush Limbaugh is parroting right along with him.
Are these guys so far removed from simple humanity that they ridicule parents who have lost their children?
Mitch McConnel bristled to the point of apoplexy that his wife's ehtnicity was mentioned in a tweet but he has nothing to say to the media about his implied plans to ridicule a woman who's suffered from depression ?
I don't know about y'all but I think this is digusting...it shows a severe lack of empathy AND sympathy and a lack of connection to anything remotely compassionate in their natures. 10819. arkymalarky - 4/13/2013 7:14:54 PM I think they're getting desperate for attention they're not getting. They're losing unless they can find more ways to game the system than gerrymandering and their extremes are getting worse. I think they will continue to radicalize and marginalize themselves and people can't resist watching a train wreck, so attention focuses more on them the more extreme they get. No one seems to legitimize them in the discussion any more. They just laugh and point. It still amazes me how fast views on gay marriage have shifted. Unfortunately all this makes states like mine more reactionary. The AR legislature has gone crazy with Koch bought wingnuts. There's a major threat there IMO. The Kochs have spent mega money in rural states to control their legislatures. 10820. arkymalarky - 4/13/2013 7:16:18 PM That's the back door they're trying to exploit. 10821. judithathome - 4/13/2013 8:13:11 PM Arks, did you get my email yesterday? 10822. arkymalarky - 4/13/2013 9:39:39 PM Yes I replied, didn't you get it? 10823. judithathome - 4/14/2013 4:29:10 AM No..... 10824. judithathome - 4/14/2013 6:03:18 AM Johnathon Winters died this weekend...he was 87. Not only funny but a talented artist, too.
Johnathon Winters, RIP
