THIS is what poverty sometimes looks like in America: parents here in Appalachian hill country pulling their children out of literacy classes. Moms and dads fear that if kids learn to read, they are less likely to qualify for a monthly check for having an intellectual disability. Many people in hil...

Except there is nothing in the Bible stating that promotes slavery... Recognizes it exists, yes, but it doesn't state that it was a moral thing. It is stated flat out that homosexual activity is immoral within the bible. Bible in hand you should give the first 10th of your monthly earnings to the c...

I find it funny that you are doing the very thing you are accusing me of doing, especially since I actually wasn't cherry-picking. Unsurprisingly, you miss the point I make which is that your argument is intellectually bankrupt. Seriously, Cornflake grow up. You miss that if what you quoted carried...

However, making a preemptive attack in the name of self-defense is illegal everywhere, and that's exactly what Martin did. So, you were there the night Trayvon was killed? :roll: The only people who knew what actually took place that night are Mr. Martin and Mr. Zimmerman and only one of them can s...

Also the issue is that this will be used as it has been already to treat religious people as 2nd class citizens...

It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court reacts to this passage in the House Report on DOMA: "For many Americans, there is to this issue of marriage an overtly moral or religious aspect that cannot be divorced from the practicalities. It is true, of course, that the civil act of marriage...

visagrunt, to be quite blunt Obama probably doesn't care if the country goes off the fiscal cliff. If that is, indeed, the case, then it is all the more incumbent upon the Republicans to put a plan on the table that will raise revenues, cut expenditure, and not create a knock-on recession in the pr...
