10872. judithathome - 4/24/2013 11:18:28 PM What on earth could be their reasoning for THAT? Were some gay people in the explosion?
I don't believe in hell or heaven but if there is any chance either place might be real, I certainly know where THOSE folks are going when they die. 10873. judithathome - 4/25/2013 12:22:06 AM Arky, WTF is up with that Cotton guy from Arkasas? I'd be the first one to make fun of someone elected from my state but THAT guy is an idiot. 10874. judithathome - 4/25/2013 12:27:16 AM Sorry, posted too quickly...he said today on the floor of Congress that under Obama, in less than 5 years we've had five terror attacks and in the seven years after 9/11 under Bush, ZERO.
I don't know about most people but I think Bush has to own 9/11 as happening on his watch. And no offense to Boston but that was a hell of a lot worse than what happened there. Not to mention Bush has some sort of warning that those attacks were going to happen...not just a little buzz that 2 brothers might....MIGHT...be on a watchlist. 10875. arkymalarky - 4/25/2013 2:36:41 AM Oh he's nothing to the gop nut who said the 2nd amendment indicated a right to shoot uncooperative GOP legislators, to encourage the others. The Koch bros have turned ar politics into a fiasco. It's a nightmare. 10876. judithathome - 4/25/2013 5:33:42 AM Speaking of the Kochs: they are trying to buy the Tribune company which owns 9 newspapers the major ones of which are the Los Angles Tribune and the Chicago Tribune.

You could look it up. 10879. robertjayb - 5/7/2013 7:43:52 PM Time to relax those jerking knees?
Violent gun crime has dropped dramatically in the past two decades, but the majority of Americans think it's more of a problem now than ever, according to a Pew Research Center study released Tuesday.
According to the survey, done in March, 56% of Americans believe gun crime is worse today than it was 20 years ago. And 84% believe in recent years, gun crime has either gone up or stayed the same — when the reality is that it has dropped significantly.
The rate of non-fatal violent gun crime victimization dropped 75% in the past 20 years; The gun homicide rate dropped 49% in the same period, according to numbers Pew researchers obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Gun Giveaways: Coming To A City Near You 10881. judithathome - 5/7/2013 10:23:02 PM I just saw something on Andrea Mitchell's show commenting on testimony at the hearings on the incidence of rape in the military...some General made a remark about "a hook-up culture" being a contributing factor...searched on Google and nothing came up. Maybe it's too soon to be reported on...I think the hearings are happening right now, today.
I missed the guy's name but that is a stunningly dismissive remark to make about women being raped in the military...he said "they join the military and are coming from hook-up culture that starts in high school."
Really? 10882. robertjayb - 5/7/2013 11:20:10 PM google "hook-up culture in usaf" 10883. robertjayb - 5/7/2013 11:41:43 PM google "hook-up culture in usaf" 10884. judithathome - 5/8/2013 5:14:37 AM Mark Sanford wins a Senate seat in South Carolina.
This, despite the fact the RNC withdrew any monetary support for his campaign.
I don't care what anyone might say, this proves that Republicans who voted for him are either ignorant or have no moral core. I'm sure those voting for him were first in line to harp about Bill Clinton. 10885. Wombat - 5/9/2013 3:57:52 PM They're Yaller-dog Republicans.... 10886. robertjayb - 5/23/2013 8:23:52 PM Darwin candidate removes self from gene pool...
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- A teenager is recovering after police say he shot himself in the penis and testicle while cleaning a gun he just bought.
Police say 18-year-old Michael Smeriglio first lied to police saying someone shot him while he was walking down the street. After being questioned by police he admitted to accidentally doing it himself.
Doctors say the bullet went through his penis, his left testicle and then lodged itself in his thigh.
Smeriglio told police he bought the gun last month at a party.

For your amusement, if you could use a chuckle:

10889. iiibbb - 6/24/2013 7:08:26 PM Let me just say... I've got no real horse in gay, bi, and transgender rights... but I hope the SCOTUS comes out on their side.
I don't know why people in this country go so far out of their way to deny love and/or happiness to others when it in no way is going to affect them one iota.
At least this 6 yr old will have some breathing room for a few years at least.
It isn't about "choice"... it's about identity.
The notion that some 6 yr old or anyone or any family would go through the trouble of getting doctors and psych exams likely required to raise this child as a girl just so they could get 15 minutes of fame, or that any person would risk so much in a currently unfriendly society toward them just so they could get a peek at the opposite sex in a bathroom is downright ludicrous. 10890. PincherMartin - 6/25/2013 2:34:19 AM "It isn't about "choice"... it's about identity."
What utter crap. Gender is about chromosomes and biology, not identity. 10891. PincherMartin - 6/25/2013 2:38:32 AM "The notion that some 6 yr old or anyone or any family would go through the trouble of getting doctors and psych exams likely required to raise this child as a girl just so they could get 15 minutes of fame, or that any person would risk so much in a currently unfriendly society toward them just so they could get a peek at the opposite sex in a bathroom is downright ludicrous."
Nothing ludicrous about it at all. People lie, steal and cheat all the time to get some fame. They put their families at risk to get fame. They even on occasion make their kids complicit in their lies. They will do just about anything so that other people pay more attention to them.
