Oh, for Heaven's sakes.....you can't possibly
There are a LOT of good parents whose son/daughter couldn't control their hormones at age 17 and YOUNGER. When my children were teenagers, I couldn't follow them around all day and night. They heard me talk year after year about the consequences of having sex too early, even if they thought they had it under control. That's all I could do. I would ask where they would be, who with, and give them a time I expected them home or ELSE, but look sister, we all know things can get heated up very fast and it doesn't take but ONE time and a couple of minutes to get pregnant. I am relieved my daughter didn't find herself in that situation and I hope and pray my 20 something son won't either. He knows our feelings and we hope he acts responsibly.
Do you have children or teenagers and if so, do you follow them around all day, every minute of the day, even when you think they are where they say they are? I doubt it.
The young lady will have to deal with her decision and hopefully, her younger sisters will also learn from this.....don't go this route. That certainly doesn't mean I would give up on the mother. I do know good mothers whose daughters got pregnant and it did come as a shock, but I didn't automatically think, wow, what a terrible mother.
That sure sounded racist....
Hey, I didn't call anyone a racist
Sir Percy did. The French are mostly Anglos, so yes, the French can be classified as a race but not a unique one.
Yep, and I believe extreme leftists are loons. I say the same for extreme right wingers. Extremism is a bad thing on either side, and yes they are loons.
For goodness sakes...he's already put his foot
And I suppose you're okay with the comment he let slip out when he said "spread the wealth" when asked by a plumber how he was supposed to keep his business open with higher taxes, that he wouldn't be able to employ more people and would end up losing is business. Obama did not care at all. He very callously smirked and opening admitted he needs to "spread the wealth".
You do understand that concept? It means NO TAX CUTS FOR YOU but you will be seeing large sums of money being used to put more and more on the welfare payroll. He has disguised these at "tax credits". Well, got a news flash for ya. YOU won't be getting a tax credit but someone you know might be getting a paycheck for doing nothing at all.
For gosh sakes, the media, they always
lie, don't they? Widely reported over, over, over, over, and over again that it was people who got loans who made 14,000 a year who "qualified" for a $750,000 mortgage and when the creative financing (i.e., interest rates went up) went belly up, they couldn't even pay the interest. Those debtors didn't spend their way to prosperity.
Give me a break. It is now people who have lost their jobs who were paying their mortgages who can no longer pay their mortgages. Going to be a lot more, too.
Hats off to Barney Frank and his ilk.
For gosh sakes. I was not attributing statements
to NP. It was satire. It popped into my head. I could just picture her standing in front of a mother saying that.
Lighten up a little.
Yep, MT...sounded like it to me too...(sm)
but then I have been diagnosed by the self-appointed champion of all things liberal to have no common sense. Don't get too close. You might get infectedddddddd. ;-)
It sounded to me like the $2M was just to get
/
Sounded like an attack to me. And in the..
grand scheme of things, why is it important to you that I admit I am something I am not??
I will though...It sounded more like a polite judgement...sm
But it doesn't matter. There really is no need to keep going on and on about it, but since we are did you get up at arms when Cheney used the...hold your breath...F-word on the floor of the Senate? And did he apologize? NOT...(this is from June 25, 2005) **Cheney, interviewed by Fox News Friday, said he had no regrets about his remarks to Leahy and I felt better after I said it. He added, A lot of my colleagues felt what I said badly needed to be said.**
I listened to the speech. It probably sounded a lot like the one Obama..
gave at the dailykos convention. She stated twice very significantly about the Alaska constitution. That is the antithesis of secession. As governor she was recognizing a recognized party in her state. I don't think there is as much antipathy between parties in Alaska as there are in the lower 48. I see no problem in recognizing them. I am not willing to assume that Obama ascribes to the ascerbic smut from dailykos just because he spoke to them. I guess that makes me somewhat more broad-minded than you?
You mean something by "sambo?"
No big loss. That poster added nothing of substance and sounded like he/she is a
troll from the conservative board. 
Heaven help us all
Lilly, I too am disheartened about what is going on in America, so much so that if I could move elsewhere, Canada, Australia, England, and know I could find a job, I gotta tell ya, I truly think I would leave. It is hurtful for me to think that way as America is my country but the last five years have blown me away, physically and mentally. I feel my heart has hardened and Im not as compassionate, I dont exercise like I should anymore, I dont eat like I should, I take an extra glass or two of wine, I am beginning to develop a who cares attitude, a fatalist attitude..as the *psychosis* in America grows..Its almost like the WWII movies I have seen..everyone partying excessively, drinking excessively..because they do not want to deal with the horrible reality..I know Im not the only one..I have talked to friends and family and there is an attitude that we cannot do anything to stop what is going down in our government..I think one of the things that hurts the most is our respect and credibility in the world..we are torturing people, we are imprisoning people and not presenting a cause, we invade a country which caused us no harm or ill will and we have destroyed one of the most ancient of countries..then we have the holy rollers shouting about end times..well, yeah, we are gonna cause the end times, fools..Something has to change..someone has to take control of this muderous hateful cancer of an administration..Three more years, OMG..Heaven help us all.
Well, thank heaven
I guess I can hold on until then. I was just so looking forward to the heartwarming pictures and many minutes taken from legitimate news on the MSM to devote time to this. Puppy's first romp on the WH lawn, puppy's first poo, all that.
Because YOU would like to see ME in heaven, the
How about you worry about your own heaven worthiness and I'll worry about mine? My **truth** lies in my own faith. Whether I get to heaven or not is up to God, not YOU!
Do you even have the slightest inkling of how self-righteous, condescending, judgmental and insulting your posts are?
Then I don't want to go to your heaven
If I'm going to have to spend an eternity somewhere, I'd rather spend it with a Ghandi than, say, a pedophile who suddenly found Jesus. Do you really feel that the now God-fearing pedophile is a better, more worthy person because he found Jesus than Ghandi, who lived an exemplary life devoted to helping those left fortunate?
Do Jews go to heaven?
You might want to read the book in the Bible called Hebrews, which is a letter the apostle Paul, who was a Jew's Jew, wrote to the Hebrews. The question should be, Is anyone going to heaven? Heaven is the throne room of God. None of us are going to spend eternity in heaven, but in the New Jerusalem. See the next to last chapter of the Bible, (chapter 21, verse 2). Better yet, read the two last chapters of the Bible. We are not actually going to the New Jerusalem, but we are becoming the New Jerusalem - a corporate entity composed of the triune God and all His believers. However, if you read the 1st verse of the book of the Revelation, we see that it is a book of signs. The New Jerusalem is the ultimate sign.
Most of 'em believe in heaven and he!!, too.

Oh for heaven's SAKE
Hitler? Marx? You don't know what you are talking about, & bringing your religion into it gives your religion less credibility, doesn't give you more.

For heaven's sake
What's next, that pie he was eating looked exactly like Elvis? Good grief.
Going to heaven has absolutely sm
NOTHING to do with our "goodness". It is only by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and our acceptance of him can we go to heaven.
If you do not accept Jesus Christ as God's son, sent to die for our sins, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. You cannot be good enough or do enough good works to get into heaven. Only by belief in Jesus Christ, Gods son will any of us make it into heaven.
Being "born" into a religion has nothing to do with anything. Anyone, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, etc can decide to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and follow him. it has nothing to do with "religion" but a "relationship" wtih Jesus Christ.
A time and purpose under heaven.
Politics and religion don't mix. The days of the Christian Right stranglehold on our secular republic are numbered. The resurrection of the old cultural liberalism can't get here soon enough to suit me. According to the latest polls, it seems I am not alone.
If McCain/Palin win...heaven help us all! (nm)
:(
Oh geez..isnt that called *Heaven* ?
Oh geez, me neither, Libby, me neither..but probably not in my life time.
So Jews go to heaven or must they convert to your religion first?
Just curious.
Please answer my question. Do Jews go to heaven?
I don't know where you live, but I live in the United States of America. We have freedom of religion in this country, and I'm still allowed to believe in God even if I don't share your particular religious beliefs. I thought God was the only one who passes judgment on people. What gives you the right to judge me and others on this board so negatively?
Please answer my question. Do Jews go to heaven?
Simply put, those who have salvation are bound for heaven.
matter if a person is Jewish or not.
If McCain/Palin win, Heaven has answered my

For heaven's sake, READ THE ARTICLE.
the part about charges dropped WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It means that the charges can be brought against him again AFTER the review has concluded and the new policies are in place. Also, pay especialy close attention to the part where it says that Abd Al-Rahim will REMAIN IN CUSTODY. Does that sound like a free pass?
Racist? You calling me racist? sm
I voted for Alan Keyes. He be blacker than Obama any day.
I despise Obama not because he is called African American by the MSM but because he is a liar parading around in sheep's clothing. He says one thing to one group, contradicts himself on the same subject to another, and plays idiotic Americans like a violin.
Obama's parentage does not qualify him to be called black anymore than his foreign birth qualifies him to called an American. To say people oppose him are racist because of his skin color is preposterous when he is neither black nor African American.
I didn't miss any part and didn't say...
anything either way. I just posted a link.
he is a racist
This is racist and disgusting. Sounds like Hitler's plan..get rid of the *problem people* . Sixty years later, get rid of the black babies. Who has spoken out about this remark..democrats..you dont hear a peep from republicans.
he is a racist
Because one man states he isnt does not mean he isnt. For a thought to even enter his head like that shows he is a racist. What good straight thinking person would say or think something like that. Rather, lets think of ways to offer opportunities to black babies and children so when they grow up they will have had a good education and be able to get into college..but to abort them, OMG.
Racist, racist, racist....
that's how liberals try to shut anyone down when they talk about any minority...say something you don't like and they're a racist or a liar.
Liberals are the ones stirring up the race pot in this country by inventing racism in every shadow.
Go sell stupid somewhere else...
He is not a racist. sm
I don't know about the liar but I do feel he can be a chauvanist. You have your opinion and I have mine.
What a racist!
NM
He's a racist?
Does he hate half of himself then? He was raised by a white mother, so maybe it is some deep-seated hatred of his mother. That's bizarre thinking.
Racist, much?
nm
what is racist about that?
monkey???
I never said I was racist.....you did
@
you were right.....ur a racist!
why shouldnt a black man run for president? I guess Obama should have said to himself, "Gee, I really would like to be president but I shouldn't run because I'm black and someone might not like that." Ya right. Why should it even be an issue? I think that your issues with the O stem from some racism for sure otherwise you wouldnt have even made that comment.
I don't think she is a racist. s/m
I agree with her. Use your head.
What is racist about that?
It is equally as racist to vote FOR someone because of their color as to vote AGAINST someone for the same reason.
What is racist about it?
))
Yep I am such a racist
I grew up in Orlando where no one gave a darn about skin color. I had black, white, asian, hispanic, etc etc friends. Loved them all dearly and still do. I moved to South Georgia and it's like stepping back in time 50 years.
I don't give a hoot about skin color. What I do care about is the fact that there is NO SUCH THING AS EQUALITY.
It's time to get over the past. When you are walking around in name brand clothes and wearing gold jewelry and driving a nice car, don't tell me that I owe you because your great grandmother was a slave.
Not to mention my family never even had slaves, but I'm supposed to feel bad and feel like I should owe them.
People should be treated as people, not colors. There shouldn't be a box to mark white, black, etc. There shouldn't be extra points given just because you are "different".
When I was in the 3rd grade my best friend and I were tested for the gifted program. We scored exactly the same, one point below the accepted level. But, because she was Hispanic, she was given an additional 2 points, which put her in. Why is that fair? (I passed the next year with flying colors).
Judge away, I don't care anymore. Reverse racism is so prevalent in this country it's disgusting. We aren't improving, we are just reversing!
What is racist about it?
It seems to me they are calling him an ape which is obviously not a human, and; therefore, cannot be a member of a particular race. What are you inferring here? I'm very curious.
You know, this may very well be racist
Or it may not. Of course anything that even could remotely be racist is deemed as such.
When I was a freshman in high school I got in huge trouble because in gym we were trying to play a serious game of volleyball and the other team (both black and white) kept jumping all over the net and I hollered "I wish ya'll would quit jumping all over the net like a bunch of monkeys!" Had absolutely nothing to do with race, much like my dad would say "you monkeys get off the bed" when me and my brother would jump on the bed. BUT of course, it was deemed racial, and I had to go through a whole big hoopla of going to the principals office and then my dad had to come in for a conference and I had to miss a game (not to mention the two days of school I missed dealing with all this).
What was the end result?
"Oh, I guess she didn't mean it racially."
(Is there a smiley that smacks it's forehead??)
All I'm saying is, we don't need to be so quick on jumping on everything as racial. I mean I saw a posting the other day (I'll have to see if I can find it) about monkeys doing our job. Does that mean they were saying "our job is so easy blacks could do it"? Nope.
I don't believe this is racist.
First of all, Obama didn't write this bill. Secondly, if evolution is true, we all are descedants of monkeys. I'm so tired of the race card being thrown out there for every little thing. If people were smart enough to know who actually wrote this, they would know this wasn't aimed at Obama. Yes, Obama signed the bill but he didn't write it. So stop twisting things into racial issues so we can all say....oh...poor president obama....everybody is picking on him because he is black.....even though technically he is only half black....but whatever. 
This is racist
As a black person I take offense to what you wrote. Yes it is about race and always will be. Most voters who voted for him voted for him only because he's black. They didn't know his policies and still don't. I know most of the kook-aid drinkers don't like to admit that and want to truly believe that every single soul who voted for him was well versed on his policies. Sorry to disspoint...they voted for him because he's black.
Yes it will always be about race because that is what Obama is making it about. Speech after speech after speech he talks about his race. And those who deny that are just big fat liars.
But you've got that backwards because the Nazi's are now in power. KKK is long gone (sorry to disappoint you). White supremacists? You mean like the Black Panthers?
Yes, you are racist......
I voted for him because W had wreaked enough havoc on this country and McPalin was a freakin' joke! I don't care if he is PURPLE! So, spout your lies.
I did not say YOU were a racist
To be racist. That does not include everyone. But there are definitely a LOT of people who definitely don't like him because he is black.
Some are racist and just don't realize it because it is so deeply ingrained in their socioeconomic culture.
