| Frankly, if you support gay marriage while being against polygamy, you're a hypocrite. Actually, one of the most comical things I'd seen on a neocon blog was that, "Legalizing gay marriage would lead to polygamy being accepted". I mean seriously, if they believe the Bible and have somehow decided t... |

| This would be difficult to implement in the context of marriage today. This would mean someone being able to marry multiple spouses, so multiple spouses would be able to get the family benefits that are intended for only one other spouse. Before this would become feasible, we would either have to a... |

| It is not my place to tell people how to live their lives. Unless it's some anti cult measure or something. Then, sure, go ahead and ban it :shrug: As for the cult thing, I think that if they're abusing it - like religiously enforcing it as the Mormons in the 1800's had done prior to polygamy being... |

| Ok so for all this time Christians have rolled out the Golden Rule as evidence of Jesus deity or at least an objective moral truth suggesting this as evidence of a creator. Yet here we have it this 'rule' has stuff all to do with an abrahamic god, it is simply a rule of reciprocity that culture aft... |

| Yep, this is called "drawing a line, and then plotting the points". During the Holocaust, Jewish people were required to write letters saying about how great everything was and one group had to put on a play for inspectors prior to them being gassed next week and having their ashes used to make soa... |

Well, so far, 81% in favor of both and 18% in favor of neither. 1% is off in space somewhere.  |

| Being homeschooled, I think it's good to have a set curriculum. Not sure what that particular set is though for state schools, but if one state rejects a federally mandated curriculum I believe that is within that state's constitutional rights and, hopefully, they may replace it with a better one. T... |

| As for the subject of anti semitism in the muslim world, I call BS on that. Proud Iranian Jews that are not only are proud to call themselves Iranian, they REJECT financial incentives by Israel to encourage them to migrate to Israel. I thought Jews were persecuted in Iran?

That might make life easier to some degree, but getting along with relatives however that commitment helps to ensure them that you're not going to need arbitration in order to... |

| In the US, Michelle Obama first lady wants kids to be healthy and eat more "healthy" foods. This might be one of the latest efforts by the government done to divide people by their weight. Am I on the right track? What? I hadn't heard of that until now, but it's probably more of a publicity stunt t... |

Does fiscal responsibility not exist? This one I haven't noticed actually. Do any other similar ideas not exist? Probably so ... |
