I do not know how a truth can be debated . It is like having a debate on whether or not the earth is round.I have to assume the person did not mean what he wrote when he picked his title.There is no doubt that the former SG "testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the Bush-inflicted horro...

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should prostitution be legalized?: 17 of 59
The argument for "No." is that prostitutes are victims of their pimps. Pedophiles are furnished their victims by these same pimps and teens are also exploited by the system that is currently the state of prostitution in most areas in this country.Once something becomes legal, much of the profit motive is removed. One need loo... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Doing good deeds: 8 of 26
People think I am foolish.I am not rich. In fact, I have had money stolen from me by the people who are called my family and by a lawyer through his betrayal of my trust.I am on a very fixed income from social security disability.

The writer states "See, Democratic operations become a moot point in a time of crisis."Please, dear sir or madam, why now are we in a time of crisis? Or would you say that we have been in one since 2003 - the start of the war?The alleged event, i.e. the 'crisis' (which it was) was the 9/11 attack. Have we been in crisis since... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Law & Justice (Other) The US Supreme Court shows tension between Justices Scalia and Roberts: Whom do you trust more?: 1 of 3
One example of Mr. Scalia's proclivity to rule in favor of religion over the constitution, and his belief that the beliefs of the majority should overrule those of the majority are reason enough to distrust a Justice who rules by his religion and not constitutionality, using the former to twist and turn the latter into what h...

Freedom of religion is codified as the first amendment.And yet, more and more we hear people talk about Christians having their rights take... More..

'Socialized medicine' is not something that is considered as an option in the health care insurance reform attempted by this administration. In fact, when President Obama spoke in an online townhall meeting he said, "I actually want a universal health care system; that is our goal." adding, a "universal health care system" do... More..
