Why is Paul Ryan's work history being compared to Obama anyway? A proper comparison would be with Biden I think. Let's stay focused. Romney is running against Obama. Not Ryan. :smile:

The republicans don't need to replace Medicare. It just goes away once the ObamaCare death panel engine gets going!

Ryan is better then Palin!

I guess we will agree to disagree then. I believe in second chances. I know people that have been given second chances and I would have no problem with my children looking up to them. With regards to Chad Johnson... He has been an excellent representative of the NFL in his career. As far as I know, he has not had legal…

Are you suggesting that a convicted felon that has paid their debt to society not be permitted to work when they get out? What is acceptable work for a convicted felon that is no longer in prison? Are you suggesting a convicted felon that has paid his debt to society and has stayed clean cannot be a good role model for…

I don't have an issue with Michael Vick playing again. He broke the law. He paid his debt to society. Good for him that he still has the skill set to compete in the league and provide for his family. What message is he sending? If you break the law you will go to jail. If you are lucky you might get a second chance when…

Or he is really good at it!

Threesome imo

Depends on the jurisdiction but I am pretty sure you cannot sign away your parental rights to avoid paying child support. If you could there would be a lot less dead beat parents out there ;p. In addition, you generally have to have an adult ready to take over your parental rights when you sign them away as in the case of…

See what happens when you have Obama as president??!

Still waiting for your proof. Congrats on mentioning Nazi Germany and Slavery in the same post though. Bravo.

Abortion is legal therefore the fetus is not a human according to the government. If the government considered a fetus human then abortion would be murder and you would not need special laws to govern how to deal with it. If you don't approve of abortion the burden of proof of humanity is on you. Good luck with that :)

There is a bit of a double standard. If a mother does not want a baby she can get an abortion. If a father does not want a baby he has no rights and is at the mercy of what the mother wants to do. If the mother chooses to have the baby the father is legally responsible to provide for the baby. More proof women have all the…

It is hardly Republicans giving tax exemptions to those of a specific class only. Democrats are just as guilty. Anything for a vote.

Yes but their achievements are more important then your achievements!

I knew it! Obama hates Olympians! Seriously though, income is income. Pay your taxes. This is like someone winning a million dollar lottery prize complaining about having to pay a big tax bill. Yes you have to pay ~$350k but you got ~$650k after taxes. Pretty sure most people would take that deal.

It's not illegal to ask those questions. It's illegal to discriminate based on the answers. Slippery slope but no wrong doing.

I log daily. Anyone can add me.

Freedom of speech is great. Cathy has a right to his express his opinions on same sex marriage knowing that he won't get arrested for his viewpoints. He also has the right to use his money to support his viewpoints without the risk of getting arrested by the government. Something people seem to forget is that even though…

You might be onto something. Ratings would probably go up if they competed without uniforms (swim suits).

I don't know that your example is really relevant. Michael Phelps does not need special equipment to compete. Oscar Pistorius cannot compete without his blades. One could argue if Oscar had legs he would just be really good and not elite. That said, it is what it is. He is an inspiration to so many people and I am happy he…

Coke and Pepsi both support gay rights. I just prefer Pepsi. Don't tell anyone. Here in GA I could be killed for saying that.

Yes I agree with you about why people propose Civil Unions as the name instead of Marriage. It's all terminology but I guess I would feel weird marrying my brother so he could get health insurance. :smile: Right now the only difference between my marriage and a gay couple (that say they are married) is that my wife is…

Incest is not legal in the USA. Not sure why you would ask unless you have ulterior motives. :wink: Civil union is a contract. It has nothing to do with sex.

The government should just replace the marriage license with a civil union license that allows any two consenting adults a civil union with all the rights afforded by the current marriage license. If I want to have a civil union with my brother in order to provide him the security currently given by a marriage license then…

Chaotic Neutral is so much more fun. I always hated druids.

So if I purchase goods and services from companies that I know support the gay community and also eat a chicken biscuit from CFA I am a dirty anti gay rights bigot? I think issues are black and white only when someone feels very strongly about them. :smile:

With all due respect.... How do you come up with your conclusions? This is your quote swanny.. Then you asked... Patti answered your question... You somehow came to this conclusion? She never said she agreed with the Pope's assessment that homosexuality is an "instrinsic moral evil" and she never suggested that homosexuals…

I find it ironic all of this publicity has increased Chick-Fila's sales allowing them to send even more money to anti-gay charities if they chose.

I just find it humorous that people can get worked up over some issues while they wear clothing made by exploited workers, eat food produced by exploited workers, eat food created while mistreating animals, etc, etc... I guess you pick your battles :smile: I also find it ridiculous that anyone would suggest a person that…
