I guess this is what they meant by "letting it get out of hand".

xD



they should save their money, if they need the stimulation that much there are ways to do it for free,


Oh?

In Afghanistan? o.O



yep, just as easily as attaching oneself to a device,, the expectation of privacy would be no different,, and probably less since you probably want to be near a power supply,,,,,

Matthew 7, Verse 1: "“Judge not, that you be not judged."

Deuteronomy 32:35: "Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly."

So far about "Take an eye for an eye..."



I dont support vengeance (eye for an eye,judgment)

I do support self protection/defense

so you think the opposition is to the timing and not the actual proposal itself?

are you suggesting those other countries had no debts when they switched?

how is killing justified and whats so different about that and revenge? isnt killing killing? thou shall not kill. doesnt say thou shall not kill, unless someone else kills



there is actually some dispute about the interpretation, some books have thou shalt not kill and some have thou shalt not murder


killing is killing unless its murder, or self defense,,or even an accident etc

just like

taking is taking, unless its stealing, embezzlement,,,etc

or sex is sex, unless its rape, incest, etc,,,


like the english language, the 'context' of an action makes alot of difference

revenge is when one is acting to punish someone else, defense is when one is acting to save themself,,,big difference

we have 'religions' who keep multiple wives too,, they just hide it better,,,,


I think any religion can be seen as 'extreme' when you start to disect their books and the actions and consequences found within them (christianity has what is interpreted by some as Gods harsh judgements of flooding and leprosy,,etc,,,, islam has what is interpreted by some as harsh judgements of death for infidels)


and many 'followers' do disect and interpret the most violent passages in those books to condone and promote violence,,,

I know mostly peaceful christians, who dont consider hateful or violent christians to be being true to christianity

Im sure many peaceful muslims also feelt hat way about hate and violence

Romney is coming off really arrogant and acting like he is entitled to the nomination.

Also I have supported Newt from the beginning BUT I am rather dissapointed in him right now. He stated before the Florida primaries if he started winning states he would ask Santorum to step aside and get behind him so they could take out Romney, but now that Santorum is winning states he wont do what he suggested Santorum should do. Newt is proving he is only out for himself.



Congratulations to Obama for winning a second term............

Well we will have to have varying opinions on the matter, which is fine.

I was brought up a child who was secondary to the marital relationship. All three of us kids are not close to either parent, because what we learned from them was that we were not so very important or as valuable.

They are divorced to boot. And currently alone. Its too bad they agreed that marital relationships were the first priority. If a marital relationship cant survive the selflessness of parenting, its probably not a good match anyway...Regardless of putting it first. Thats what happened to my parents. Alone, and not much going on in the bond with their kids.



its really just balance

there wasnt enough balance (seems like) in the home, regardless of whether the parents or the children felt 'secondary'

the truth in our home was that our parents were more than a relationship they were a UNIT,, you cant seperate a unit, one part of a unit cant come after other units,,,,

so, my mom and dad were one, and there was therefore no way to feel I was more important to one or the other, I was just equally important to BOTH and would never ask or expect them to care more for me than themself (although I understand this is becoming the norm in modern culture), although I also didnt expect them , as a unit, to love me less

but there was no, does mom love me more than she loves dad, or does dad love me more than mom,, they were one, they were going to have to work at being one long after I left home to have a life of my own, so there was going to be more actual effort they had to put into preserving their unit of choice, than it would to preserve our relationship of biology,,,

Why do you suppose we are so fake, even with complete strangers we see a need to hide who we really? Do you suppose it's a fear of rejection? We need to feel accepted? Why?

Of course, we're not all like this, I'm just saying for some people, in general.



I dont think people ever stop changing or that they are one dimensional. I am one way at work, another way with family and friends. I am one way in an online conversation, another way in real time. Thats just the nature of people to adapt to situations and environments.

There are those who intentially try to DECEIVE and I dont know why they do it. But I think often times we mistake someone being complex with being 'fake' when they make any changes or show anything that might be seen as inconsistency in their behaviors or words.

For me 'fake' is that person who pretends to feel one way about someone in the company of some, and then the total OPPOSITE in front of others. Like someone who is kind to their spouse when others are around and acts like they kiss the feet their spouse walks on,,, and then ignores them or bullies or abuses them behind closed doors.

These people are full of intentional and false AFFECT, and the kind that I consider 'fake'.


or someone who pretends to HATE someone in front of others, but secretly play and laugh with that person while having a giggle at those who think they hate them (ie. the fakeness of wrestling...lol)

should have figured that out by now

the audience is cool with degrading minorities, gay people, the president

but NOT a womans entitlement to birth control,,,,,,

well, at least SOMETHING gets people to speak up about this guys hatefulness,,,
This is not about a woman's entitlement. The issue is should this country pay for women to have sex when they can go to Planned Parenthood and get contraceptives free.


Birth control pills are not free at Planned Parenthood.



it depends upon where the clinic is and what programs they have. Many do offer them for free.

I think there were several overlapping issues

the issue of whether we should make others pay for our reproductive choices (be it an insurance company or their policy holders)

crossed over the idea of whether such open and free availability promotes the behavior of those who are merely trying to have 'sex' (promiscuity)


and whether anyone should refer to a promiscuous woman as a 'slut'


basically Rush was personally insulting to a young woman (and by extension any women who felt she represented them) and I think that was the major part of the uproar, the conflict over who should have to pay for us to be able to have sex without 'fear of pregnancy' was pretty much overshadowed by Rushs usual asinine conduct


So you think that if someone is having sex and wanting birth control available, they're automatically promiscuous? What is your definition of promiscuous?





no, not at all

anymore than I think people with guns are automatically violent

I just thought one of the issues being addressed (however disrespectfully) was the idea that 'giving away' birth control (for lack of a better word) might further encourage those who are promiscuous already,,,,

kind of like easy access to guns may encourage those who are already violent

,,not necessarily a right or wrong issue, just a perspective

IMHO birth control should be handled just like every other medication.
No special exceptions just because its a contraceptive.





I'm fine with that. I don't see why it should be handled differently.


medication is to treat illness or prevent illness

birth control is to back up those who wish to have sex but not get pregnant

few people have as much control over 'illnesses' as they do over whether they get pregnant

so, its a BIT different


There are several things that birth control helps with other than preventing pregnancy. I'm surprised even women aren't aware of that.



I agree. I am speaking in the context of the drug used as 'birth control' ,,as the name indicates

the drugs progesterone,,and several others, which work as birth controls have other uses as well which I think should be covered if they are found to exist

I had a medically necessary hysterectomy required because of a physical condition and it was covered, had I wanted it just to prevent pregnancy it would not have been covered,,,


This whole topic started because it was discussed being used for one of the other reasons, other than preventing pregnancy.

I would like someone to clear up my confusion with terms used on internet dating sites.
My first question is... to me dating and marriage is a relationship, so if someone answers that they just want a relationship what does that mean?
Also if someone writes they want to hang out what does that mean? Is it dating? Or a friendship I am so confuse. If someone can explain the meaning of these words on the internet it sure would be helpful. Thks


best to ask that person using the term , because different people use them differently


hanging out could be dating or just spending time doing things you mutually enjoy together with no real interest in romance

I consider dating to be hanging out with an open possibility to romance

people will often say 'this isnt a date', to take away the pressure of trying to build a romance or being expected to be romantic

why is it that so many other countries are able to have a healthcare system which is 'universal' but the supposed 'greatest' nation on earth wouldnt be able to handle it....?


Im curious what people feel the difference will be, besides the size of our country which loses its emphasis in my opinion when you consider that what comes out (the population) is what goes in and therefore size would not be much of a consideration,,,


I am sure some have spoken to 'foreigners' who feel they have a poor health system for some reason or another, but no health system will be able to please ALL its citizens

I generally hear the flip side from foreigners who feel our system of healthcare which bankrupts people and causes them to sell their homes,,,etc,,, is quite shameful for such a supposedly 'great' nation,,,,
