Watching Foreign Correspondent episode on oil fracking in Texas suburbs, how it can contaminate water supplies and affect health, among other environmental concerns...So apparently Dick Cheney worked for the oil giant Halliburton, which invented fracking. Guess what? Under the struik, bush Administration, oil fracking became exempt from the veilig Water Act. Meaning that oil pipes can be permitted to be built right volgende to water supplies.

I'll give the right one thing. It's not about contraception. But it's not about religious freedom, either. It's about people refusing to pay for something which they either don't agree with, of just don't want to pay for. u pay taxes, don't you? That stuff goes all over the place, and is bound to fund SOMETHING u don't like. Oh... wait, I forgot. We're talking about the church. I'm sorry, you're not used to giving alms, just taking them. Well... get used to it. geplaatst een jaar geleden

So, if you're pro-life, I totally get it. u see it as protecting the rights of an unborn child, that makes sense, I may not always agree, but I get it. So can one of my vrienden who's pro-life explain to me exactly how this new Virginia Bill with the invasive vaginal probe supposed to protect the rights of that child? I mean, other than terrifying rape victims out of getting an abortion. geplaatst een jaar geleden

What annoys me about people who are anti-immigration, is that most races (somewhere down the line) are immigrants. The white Americans came from England, the Aussi's also came from England, the black Americans came from Africa of the Carribeans...And apparantly in the beginning we were ALL African. Yet so many say immigrations bad. Only citizen's of Africa are actually NOT immigrants. geplaatst een jaar geleden

The mayor has enforced mandatory clean-up operations at Zuccotti park. Officers were instructed to remove squaters from the park, where protesters were residing, today. I hope this does not mean the end of 'Occupy uithangbord Street.' We need an organized civil disobedient movement now meer than ever. We need 'OWS' protesters to be resilient, despite the uptick in resistance from officers. If not for them, who will speak up for US...because our local representatives certainly haven't been doing it.

The audiences at the Republican debate conventions are one side short of a pentagon. They'll applaud military service yet boo when a gay military officer ask vragen about 'don't ask, don't tell.' They'll applaud Herman Cain's 'Princess Nancy' dig at Pelosi yet boo down a reporter who asks Michelle Bachman to clarify the "she's her husband servant' statement. I don't know what to make of it. Are these people crazy of are they paid lobbyists? Their reactions were beyond bizarre! geplaatst een jaar geleden

My mom really wants me to kom bij the Speech and Debate team at school, but when I went to a meeting, I didn't feel comfortable at all. I don't want to be a part of it anymore. I wish my mom would get off my back because I don't want to go. But online, I think it would be better for me, and it's meer comfortable for me.

I know no one cares probably, but I just feel that I need to get this off my chest badly. :) geplaatst een jaar geleden

OK, a lot of people on here are assuming atheism is a religion on this spot, so I'll just be the one to disagree: 1. Atheists have no holy books. 2. Atheists have no place of worship. 3. Atheists have no profit of god.

Police and firefighters are exempt from this new WI law (as they should be). But it does make me think, about the types of jobs (especially public sector jobs) that we value, as a society, and the types of jobs that we don't. For example, public health workers are not exempt. So... think about that. geplaatst een jaar geleden

A vraag which has been puzzling me for a while now- apparently Jesus scarified his life on earth for us--- But, isn't eternal life on heaven supposedly better than life on earth? And, i do believe he managed to resurrect himself two days later? I've been told: "But he went through all that pain to sacrifice himself!" But, he's a god, isn't he? couldn't he just choose not to feel pain? If he can turn wine into water, heal the blind, then why not numb pain? geplaatst een jaar geleden

In most states, parents have a lot of rights. Corporal punishment (which includes whipping door belt) and aversive intervention (using "unpleasant stimuli" to deter certain behaviors) remain legal for parents. (Thank you, Issues of Abuse course, for this information). Teachers and other adults do not have this same right if it's not their own child. So here's MY vraag - do we give parents too much freedom when it comes to raising their children? geplaatst een jaar geleden

Something to think about: Anyone find it ironic that pro-choice is known as pro-choice when the embyro doesn't have a choice, and pro-life is called pro-life when some women who don't have the right to a abortion die giving birth?
