    Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: Prop 8, DOMA To Receive Hearings

    I'm gonna get me some of this... You see, Will, unlike people who say things like this: I do not wish ******, even on the sort of absolute scum who would say such a thing. Let me state two things clearly: 1) I wish you, Will, no harm. May you live out your life until its natural end. And 2)...

    Maryland Death Penalty: Lawmakers Approve Measure To Ban Capital Punishment

    Oh georges. You're nothing if not consistent...here's one of your problems: What you think is 'direct and straight language' and your unabashed opinions are right-wing angst and ****. You prove this to all of us pretty much every time you post. Here's your other, I'd argue bigger problem...

    Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: Prop 8, DOMA To Receive Hearings

    I disagree with this post. ...mainly the word 'emerging', and by association, the 'n' in 'an'. I also have some reservations about the word 'seems'.

    Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: Prop 8, DOMA To Receive Hearings

    I always thought DOMA was a pretty clear breach of the Full Faith and Credit clause (I mean, I guess that breach is intentionally built in to the law?) as well as, one could argue, the 10th amendment (though we all know that one seems be nothing more than toilet paper for ages now). Prop 8 and...

    Maryland Death Penalty: Lawmakers Approve Measure To Ban Capital Punishment

    It warms my heart to see stupidity really getting called out. The topic of the death penalty will always be one of those keen moments in school for me; back in high school I was all for the death penalty and we had a speech project to pick a subject and argue for it in front of the class. I was...

    Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: Prop 8, DOMA To Receive Hearings

    While there isn't a lot of data at this point, what data there is points to **** doing no worse with gay parents as far as performance/behavior in schools were concerned (I posted some studies in another thread debating same-sex marriage). Without considering and simultaneously addressing...

    IMDB Top 250 Movies

    I've always wondered how they weight the ratings for those; many really old titles show up in that list for reasons I can't figure out, at least superficially (being that they only have 50k votes, for example, compared to the titles around them with 500k votes). At any rate, the beauty about...

    Supreme Court On Gay Marriage: Prop 8, DOMA To Receive Hearings

    I should warn you that this thread is not new, and the post before mine is several months old. Which is just to say, feel free to continue pressing Will to answer the question we all want him to answer.

    The article doesn't really add any more information than the headline, but here it is anyway*. *Actually, you should read the article just to read the comments and figure out how Obama and Romney are somehow included in said comments on a story that has absolutely nothing to do with them.

    Thanks for proving my point. Other than my reference to your infatuation with him, I haven't said a thing about Obama nor made any intention to, in defense or otherwise. More ignorant assumptions and generalizations. Says the Frenchman.

    I do have something to add, actually. You consistently come off as really stupid. Your single-track posts continue to push this image. You are the epitome of a right-wing sheep - your existence's only consolation to me is the knowledge that at least the States doesn't have a monopoly on this...

    Maryland Death Penalty: Lawmakers Approve Measure To Ban Capital Punishment

    I fully agree with all of this. If it could be done accurately without agenda...but it can't. Even if technology were 100% accurate and effective, we'd still have that agenda element. If you weren't allowed to say 'ghetto', 'gang bangers', 'Obama' or 'leeches', would you have anything left to say?

    You probably already know this, but it's a ****** effort. Will doesn't occupy the same reality as we do. As in, he has a mental disorder of some kind or another. I don't mean this as in insult; I mean this as my honest best attempt to explain the incredible consistency at which he operates...

    UN Adopts Plan to Combat ******** Against Women

    Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) Reverses Stance on Gay Marriage

    No joke. Still, Have to agree here. He may be a tool, but at least he's beginning to point in the right direction. I am normally for states' rights, but in this case I entirely disagree...and now that I'm reading over the 14th Amendment, I'm curious how any bans of same-sex marriage are...

    NY judge halts Bloomberg ban on large sugary drinks

    In my days of dreaming up ideal healthcare systems, this is actually pretty much what I come up with. There is a massive challenge, however, in deciding thresholds of how much of which behaviors constitutes higher costs. How fat is too fat? How much ******** is too much? Considering how the...
