If you are in post grad schooling, please allow me to take a moment to point out a fallacy for you: Perhaps reviewing bifurcation, false dilemma, black-or-white, either/or, etc. may help see a flaw in the above selections of your post. I'll go further: a person CAN BE "justified" to himself or...

Compelling evidence... such as the news link in the opening post... such as it is a given fact that a growing proportion of the population is coming to a point of "need" and the majority of perpetrators are family members self-justified in their exploitation/abuse? If you can't tell what post is...

Perhaps your friend shouldn't have kids then. Or perhaps your friend might change his/her mind after the passing of time or circumstances. Hmm... Sounds like your friend might have some things in common with a few governments or dictators who declare themselves authorities on what is or isn't...

Some time ago, I happened to have done a report on what seemed to be a tangible social and psychological shift within our (the U.S., but I don't believe it to be restricted to that boundary) society. A slow shift notably changing from a generation who endured the great depression, being grateful...

A "legal" marriage is something a local government might recognize as what they call a marriage. That isn't necessarily well defined and one or several marriages might not be looked upon by another government if said people move or travel where they are subject to another set of local laws. So...

I apologize that I didn't lay an integrated concept out in a more comprehensible way, but I'm fine with letting stand as is. Ah, and herein lay the "liberty of others" crux... I'll put it as plainly as possible: I, as an individual with alleged equal "liberties," do not have to "support"...

Just a note: "IF" someone feels like they just "have" to do x or y, despite it being known to have legal or liberty consequences, and they do it anyway, doesn't that in itself reflect something about what they value? Don't get me wrong, that cuts both ways. Civil rights activist demonstrated...

I don't believe it is hypocritical. I have done drugs when I was young. I knew people who did drugs... and know people who still do drugs; although, I myself do not do them any longer - one of many sins I have repented from and I'm still a work in progress as far as that tangent. So, I know...

I certainly don't speak for everyone else - but there are other sites that are self-evident whether or not they honor christian values. There are also other sites that one can read and express conservative viewpoints (or in this case republican views) without distractions, idiocy, or...

Merry Christ-mas to one and all. :)

Merry Christ-mas :)

:thumbsup: If possible, visiting and playing cards or something too. I know that is also appreciated.

Boulder's Naked Halloween Streak May Be Coming to an End Umm... "liberal-to-the-point-of-loony" Isn't that a bit redundant?

I'm hoping some of the fanatics riding the Dem-streetcar and chanting "change, change, change" saw the recent broadcasts outlining a portion of Medicaid and Medicare fraud... or read an actual newspaper every once in a while. Systems too big compared to the amount of monitoring provisions and...

Hi Browneyes84 :) I get what you're saying there. Unfortunately, I can't relate to the conservative group you're referring to though. The scenario sounds more xenophobic as opposed to conservative, but that can happen. There's lots of problems with having a little social circle refer to themself...

Me either. :D

That is good advice: whether we are in good times or bad. :thumbsup:

Well, I can only answer for my own account. I do end up suggesting things to others now and again and personally, I do scroll quickly by certain posts for my own benefit. But to be blunt, I ought to be careful not to outright tell person X not to respond to posts Y or Z... just in case person X...

That's not home made... I can tell. :P
