    French Lead Europe's Fertility Rate, but Most Babies Are Born Out of Wedlock

    Sorry, but I'm not willing to let sexist jokes slip under the radar in the name of playing nice.

    Heath Ledger is dead

    Wow. I'm kind of in shock, and I usually don't feel too much over celebrity deaths. It always hits me hard, though, when someone my age dies. I think it's especially the loss of potential that gets me here - I really expected him to do great things, judging from a lot of the roles he's taken...

    French Lead Europe's Fertility Rate, but Most Babies Are Born Out of Wedlock

    This message board isn't the government, and your speech is not protected here. Besides which - if someone had been making an extremely racist comment and I mentioned that it was inappropriate, would you be making the same response? Somehow jokes denigrating half of the human population are...

    Kentucky Bill Would Mandate Ultrasounds Before Abortions

    By the way, IisJustMe, I'd like to see you answer some of MY questions and respond to the points that I'VE raised. I'm certainly under no obligation to counter your accusations if you refuse to even consider any of my points.

    Kentucky Bill Would Mandate Ultrasounds Before Abortions

    Guess what? You do not have the sole claim on truth - in fact, from your posts in this thread, it looks to me like you've taken on a whole lot of falsehoods and misrepresentations and are claiming them as the "truth." Not likely. I thank God that I've been exposed to enough real research and...

    Georgia schools shying away from Bible classes.

    This is Georgia we're talking about. I seriously doubt those teaching the Bible classes are going to be doing so from a scholarly, questioning viewpoint.

    Georgia schools shying away from Bible classes.

    Exactly. And the courses on the Qu'ran and the Bhagavad Gita likewise should be taught by devout Muslims and Hindus.

    Are racist or homophobic jokes ok if they are funny?

    That was a beautiful, beautiful moment, and entirely appropriate. It's just that, as Stephen would say, he was the only one with the balls to do it.

    Are racist or homophobic jokes ok if they are funny?

    You don't see the racism in shows like Amos and Andy. :eek:

    New Generation of Homeless Vets Emerges

    Your links are about killer vets - not even about the same story being referred to here. Nice attempt to brush the problem of homeless vets under the rug.

    French Lead Europe's Fertility Rate, but Most Babies Are Born Out of Wedlock

    Not funny. I'd appreciate if you'd refrain from making sexist jokes.

    Va. legislator introduces bill to ban testicles, other genitalia from vehicles.

    Those hanging testicles are beyond tacky, but it's still ridiculous that our legislators are wasting their time on something like this.

    Kentucky Bill Would Mandate Ultrasounds Before Abortions

    Gee, and what revealing research have YOU presented? And I never dismissed your anecdote as trivial - if you recall, I said that the PP clinic she visited was wrong in her case. I also believe, based on my own experience with PP, that if you have reported her visit accurately, it is an...

    Yucky New Gay Disease

    So...because most of Botswana's Christians are not Catholics, they got AIDS? I bet you there are some Catholics in Botswana with AIDS.

    Kentucky Bill Would Mandate Ultrasounds Before Abortions

    Look - I'd bet you anything that I know more about Planned Parenthood clinics, what they stand for, and what really goes on there, than you do. Where do you get your claim that your one anecdotal story is the "common experience of thousands of young women"? Because I call shenanigans. I know...

    Banned From Church

    I did read the whole thread, and despite your initial comment about the church being wrong, all I've seen from you since then is what looks like an attempt to explain why they weren't really all that wrong.

    Banned From Church

    Your defense of this church is unbelievable.

    Kentucky Bill Would Mandate Ultrasounds Before Abortions

    It is apparent to you, based on ONE anecdotal story? How ridiculous.
