I guess this might be it.... Dear Colleague, Our economy is not creating enough jobs, and the policies coming out of Washington are a big reason why.

what bothers me about the food stamps and section-8 housing isn't that we have these safety nets. this is the price we pay to have a humane, Christian, civilized society. and it isn't even the people who use the benefits when they shouldn't (like the example given to us about the fat lady with the f...

Beer and Liquor thread, appropriate place to ask this question: Could anyone explain to me the clinical difference between bi-polar disorder and borderline personality disorder? Could you cite an example (in say, a popular movie) of a person who is bi-polar and a person who is bpd? Bonus question, a...

and it's been over a decade and we are still waiting for your one post worth a fuck, DS

All you need is one woman on a jury and it's a total crapshoot. There, I said it. In 1920, the argument against giving women the right to vote in all 48 states (as Hawaii and Alaska weren't in yet) by Constitutional Amendment, was predicated on the belief that women were (by the nature of their gen...
