    42% of Americans obese by 2030

    What part of the medical definition of obesity do you not agree with? Someone with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese by definition. It means someone with a BMI higher than that, and nothing else. Why are you even using a layman definition?

    Welfare, food stamps, and housng assistance

    The part that really interests me is that only about 10% of the money we spend on welfare and aid goes to the unemployed an disabled. A vast majority of it is going to people who have working households. How is that the case when businesses are reporting record profits? If Wal Mary is one of the...

    Obama Forces Abortion, Condoms and Mornnig After Pills on Catholics

    I'm still amazed that this is the big issues of the day, rather than the much more freedom violating forcing women to have penetrative ultrasounds done if they want an abortion. Talk about a dog and pony show here.

    Obama Forces Abortion, Condoms and Mornnig After Pills on Catholics

    That society he speaks of would be our capitalistic one. The market currently has panned out with health insurance necessary to afford medical care, it otherwise being unaffordable to over 50% of professions.

    An Economy Drowning in Obama Fairness

    This also illustrates why things aren't getting better. All of the money just piles up in the rich mans coffers. Why do the bakers, butchers, and hotel owners all need to buy their necessary things on credit? They have jobs, but all the money is going to the guy at the top. Just look at the...

    Not Just Catholics: Other Religious Leaders Weigh in on Contraceptive Issue

    Most insurance companies do, I know mine did. I'm not finding anything on the internet that says the religious groups don't provide it. It's far cheaper than a pregnancy to them.

    An Economy Drowning in Obama Fairness

    Where do you think all that waste goes? The government certainly doesn't have the money, and the workers certainly don't, so where did it all go? Perhaps we should ask the group that's gotten exponentially wealthier over the last 30 years? Raising taxes only hurts the people that can't make ends...

    And you know what? While we're at it, lets look at what was in the headlines a year ago. The Republican campaign against a Ground Zero mosque. - Slate Magazine Remember all this jazz? Where was the uproar over a religions rights then?

    Is God upset at me for taking antidepressants?

    I think the important thing here is that you're starting to notice decisions you make more. That's what the anti-depressants help you do. Many people think the pills cure depression, but that is incorrect. What the pills do is allow you to see a little more clearly through the fog. The worries...

    Looking for an internet timer with music (not fire alarm tone)

    I can help, but first I need to know a couple things. First, do you have a Mac or a PC, and second what internet browser are you using? It's probably either "Internet Explorer," "Mozilla Firefox", "Chrome," or "Safari."

    Home schoolers call for support of Blunt Conscience Protection Amendment

    My question is, where's the Christian dust up about all the other religions that have rules imposed? They are constantly bringing up that "I didn't speak up when they came for the Jews" slope, so where's the outrage that Mormons can't marry multiple wives, or that Rastafarians can't smoke pot...

    Greed

    $190,000 for each franchise owner is modest by whose standards? That's over 12 times what his lowest paid employee is making. Let's look at some numbers. If there are ~1,100 operators and ~1600 stores, and we go with the same 4,800 workers making $15k we looked at before, that means each...

    Home schoolers call for support of Blunt Conscience Protection Amendment

    It still amazes me the same group that cries persecution in having to provide the option for a legal prescription medication to non religious employers is the same group that cries their freedoms are being taken away if we allow gay marriage or ban circumcision. Jon Stewart really did say it...

    Dem Convention includes Million-dollar tickets, luxury suites, concierge services

    I agree with you that Obama is primarily a neocon an beholden to monied interests. That's not the issue I'm taking with the right. The issue is that thats not what you all have been saying. For months and months it's been that Obama is a radical socialist who is goin to soak the rich and...
