    Truths that are self-evident

    What you've stated here would support the claim that the Declaration of Independence is not legally binding. After all, many states continue to have capital punishment despite the line about the unalienable right to life. Either the declaration isn't legally binding or the term "unalienable...

    Truths that are self-evident

    I don't think the Declaration of Independence is legally binding considering how many states have capital punishment. Otherwise, how can the state legally execute you when life is an "unalienable right?"

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    Who's twisting words? Honestly, why do you think "people will take that as ridiculing Christians?" I could understand if you thought people would take this as ridiculing Republicans, which would be pretty normal on a political forum, but Christians?! Obama's Christian yet plenty of people...

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    It was mostly to share a good laugh but I added an interesting question to spark conversation: where to go? If the US is not conservative enough for you, there's no where else to go as far as I can tell, yet the threat to leave always persists... Had I known another thread was already made...

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    This statement is the perfect example of: You can see the details of why this is in an amusing article, here, but this does raise an interesting point. For all the people who are threatening to move due to this election, where are you going to go? I doubt that there is anywhere else...

    White establishment

    No, you're missing the point. No one is contending that the demographic votes aren't true. What they're contending is the reason for the votes. O'Reilly's bare assertion is that they're entitled. We can only speculate on their true motives so he's not necessarily "correct..."

    Rick Perry's video breaks record

    You fail to see anything wrong with propagating a bunch of lies to promote one's campaign amongst a paranoid interest group? You don't think "gays" should serve in the military? Fine... but "kids can't openly celebrate Christmas?" Where? Since when? "They can't pray in school?" Anyone...

    Rick Perry's video breaks record

    There have been some responses to Rick Perry's video but I must say that, so far, this is my favourite: OdHuwXwcUm0 It's funny but respectful. It's careful not to denigrate anyone's beliefs while still lampooning Rick's ridiculous message...

    son caught having inappropriate content problem

    I don't think you understand just how automated these search engines are. At no point did a single person ever see any of these sites. It's all done by machines without any context with which to determine whether something deserves to be indexed... You probably think this because you dislike...

    The Defamation of Religions at the U.N.

    I'm (pleasantly) surprised that no one here is supporting this resolution. After all, making Defamation of Religion a crime would mean that no one could defame your religion...

    Petition to Keep Gitmo Open

    Do you see the irony in your statement here? First, is it a desire to be God to try and follow His teachings? Your statement was ludicrous to say the least. Secondly, you accuse Suomipoika of judgment while condoning the torture of people whose guilt is undetermined. Really, who's the...

    Should the US government bail out the Automakers?

    I was looking for automatic transmission and it looks like the Japanese systems are better. Despite the Fit being the same size as the Aveo, it has just as much room and far more cargo space. This, coupled with its reputation for reliability, makes it sound like a much better car... I...

    Should the US government bail out the Automakers?

    Thank you for your kind response. I don't know from where you're getting your numbers. I looked through the site but I couldn't find them on there. I did a google search and found this site by the US Department of Energy. According to this site, the Aveo's urban fuel economy is...

    Should the US government bail out the Automakers?

    Then maybe you can help me. I prefer small cars with lots of room inside. My wife especially likes a lot of cargo space so we like hatchbacks. I like the Toyota Yaris but she's really keen on the Honda Fit for its cargo capacity. Can you recommend a comparable American car? Thank you...

    Republicans: did Sarah Palin help or hurt McCain in this election???

    First of all, she didn't borrow that money. The clothes were given to her. Secondly, she needed the clothes 'cause she was running in a federal election. There's a lot to malign her for but I've never brought up the cost of her wardrobe 'cause I understand the nature of politics. She...

    Republicans: did Sarah Palin help or hurt McCain in this election???

    I definitely feel that she hurt McCain's campaign. While she energized the religious right, they would have voted for McCain anyway just in opposition to Obama so the Republicans gained no votes by that maneuver. Conversely, she repelled the moderates with her lack of experience, her lack of...

    Republicans: did Sarah Palin help or hurt McCain in this election???

    First, that's a ridiculous rumour. Who thought McCain would win by a landslide? Just days before the election, polls showed that McCain couldn't win the election even if he had won every one of the eight (or so) swing states. He would have to win them all and turn a blue state red. This was...

    How Separation of Church and State is abused

    This doesn't even make any sense. Are you saying there's no evidence of diversity in the world? I'm pretty sure they don't spend much time teaching tolerance so it's really hard to tell what on God's green Earth you're talking about... What?!
