Paying taxes isn't stealing, but welfare fraud is basically stealing taxpayer money. The government employee shopping online all day every day making over 100k a year in taxpayer $$ - also stealing. Purchasing a home 2 hours away from you job location and traveling in your government paid & gassed car to work a 4 hour day…

It would probably destroy my big city church as well. It sits on a very nice piece of land - the property tax alone would put them under I am sure of it. It is a plain church, nothing fancy, no stained glass or ornate decor - it just happens to be on prime property. Because of the location they are able to feed the city…

Not meals, snacks if you're lucky. I think 1st class still gets meals, but I wouldn't know as I ride coach :ohwell:

If you get out and talk to the students, you may be horrified how many of them actually do. It's not just her, I wish it was. I may be jaded by the whole occupy movement, and generalizing of course - based on those I encountered here. Those were the messages they were spouting. Of course my opinion is based on my own…

I agree it should not cost 40,000 a year. But that's a problem in itself - a problem with what private Universities are charging. I have no issue with sponsoring Sallie Mae. I have issue with today's youth being lazy and irresponsible and wanting the government to intervene and take care of them. My husband constantly asks…

Sponsoring an organization like Sallie Mae is one thing. People here are talking about free. A lot of people we spoke to who were here "Occupying" our city don't want to pay back their student loans, they feel entitled to a free education. Instead of looking for a job they wanted to sit around in tents all day and pretend…

I paid every penny of it back. I didn't complain that the big G wasn't doing enough for me. If a gov't loan wasn't available, I would have taken a bank loan, or gone part time instead of full and worked more than I was. I said no one was entitled to a FREE college education. Key word FREE.

No I don't - but if people keep moaning and groaning that they want free this and free that instead of working for it like we did - and the government who has no budget complies = you bet you're going to see it. It is not the responsibility of the Federal Government, under any circumstances, to pay for your college…

Not all of these jobs have to fall under the Federal Government. People these days seem to want the government to take care of every aspect of their lives instead of going out and doing anything themselves. My husband worked 3 jobs to put himself through college with zero help from anyone. I took out student loans and paid…

Mint! Truly I wouldn't want to swap spit with anyone who tasted like food... any food... blah! :sick:

If their customers don't want them, why spend the $$ on them? Air fare is expensive. I don't care about a prayer card on a flight. If you want to reflect on a flight bring your own material, just like you have to bring your own food now or pay for crap snacks on many flights.

In general yes, but I have my bad days, I think everyone does.

An older friend of mine (50s now) refused to give up heels... always wore them, loved them! Sadly now she has major foot problems, so bad some days it's painful to walk at all. Her Dr ordered her to stop wearing them, so she finally has. Other women I know have horrible ugly bunions and almost disfigured toes from a…

Actually I don't believe everything, but I do believe there is some truth about his past which is disturbing. None of the candidates have my support at the moment. Obviously I'll have to make a choice at some point, but it will be "Who won't be the worst" as opposed to "Who's going to be the best". Basically it will be…

I don't like any of the candidates really..... Newt is a cheater. A man who doesn't keep promises and can't be faithful to multiple wives is not a person I trust to keep his promises to his country either. Romney is a flip flopper... Ron Paul used to be a white supremist.... Basically I don't believe anything any of them…

This^^^^ absolutely. Not just with our bodies, our minds as well. How many of us remember anyone's phone number anymore? I'm guilty - don't even know my own husbands cell because of technology. I HATE that kids are inside playing games or in a zombie state watching TV or online all the livelong day instead of outside…

Ah genetics.... I have muscular calves... I used to hate them...no matter how thin I was they were always the same. My husband loves them, so now I don't hate them, still don't love em! I can barely zip a lot of boots... they do make them for bigger calves. I should probably get some. I am often fighting with my hunter…

You lie! I just KNOW there is a magic pill somewhere damn it :tongue:

Me! Met my husband online back in 2010 at 37 years old. And the guys I met before him were nice but just not for me... one I maintained a friendship with. He met his now wife a bit later - online. Just like IRL - sometimes it takes a while to find the right one, but online gives you a much larger pool of people you may not…

I think it's the carousel set up.

That carousel thing is why I always check to make sure nothing is left behind. I can see how it'd be easy to do. I'm sure no one at Walmart is keeping things on purpose or has it in for anyone.

This ^^^When someone says they are pro-life they actually are anti-choice in all scenarios. When someone says they are pro-choice it means they believe a woman has the right to choose for herself, not necessarily that they would have an abortion, and not that all pregnancies should be aborted. For the pro-lifers it's black…

Technically yes, you are right. I don't think it's for me or the government to decide what is right for all women, so yes, if a woman decides to abort, it's not for me to question why. You can say I am pro abortion in that respect. The personal choices I would make are mine, and theirs are theirs. When I say I am not pro…

This is MY own moral belief - I'm not about to push it on someone else - hence pro choice. I'm not going to list every circumstance where I feel it's OK VS not OK because ultimately it isn't my choice or my business. It's the choice of the woman in whatever circumstances she is in.

There are some circumstances where I see abortion as acceptable = incest, rape, medical problems. Non acceptable = birth control. Some women have had many abortions. Pretty sure those women are pro abortion though they'd probably never say it out loud.But those are my own personal moral beliefs. It is not for the big G to…

I am pro-choice. That is not the same thing as pro-abortion. I think showing graphic commercials during the Superbowl is really not appropriate at all. There's a wide viewing audience, including very young children. Have your remote controls ready.

I was raised Catholic. Church every Sunday and Catholic school. The church my parents attended was very stringent and traditional. My late brother was gay and they weren't welcoming. I did not like it, so as an adult I stopped being involved.... Fast forward to my 30s... met my husband, a practicing Catholic. He wants to…

I think you should invite all or none, you shouldn't punish the step children for the actions of your brother... So IF you invite the brother, his kids and new wife it should be all inclusive. You could invite the ex-wife and her children and exclude your brother. Ultimately though it's your day, your wedding. Congrats &…

Without getting all scientific and what not, I usually do cardio minimum 30 mins... sometimes 60....sometimes longer - usually intervals.And it's all good for me. It feels good. Ice skating for example is fun and I stay on the ice no less than an hour. My outdoor runs/walks always go over 60 mins because I enjoy it. I'm…

I go to 2 diff gyms, run/walk outside, and do things at home. By work - coworkers go to my gym too, but we don't work out together (coworkers are male). It's nice knowing people though, feels comfortable. At home - I go alone or with my husband, but we do our own things. When I run outside it's mostly alone... for some…
