what is the difference between:


the Republicans will capture the Senate, but lose the House of Representatives

and

the Democrats will lose the Senate, but capture the House of Representatives

Stewart didn't swerve. He did accelerate as a "yeah I got it, eat some dirt" move. This caused his car to fish tail and unfortunately hit Ward. I think it'd be good to definitely investigate this further. Stewart is known for having a hot head and this move may not have went the way intended but it ...

If I'm against smoking, should I be forced to offer the nicotine patch or be at risk for being hypocritical?

If you are sincere about wanting to end smoking, then you should be doing everything you can to end smoking, which certainly would include offering the nicotine patch in your healthcare ...

crispybits, what confidence do you place in government when it comes to optimally planning the lives of 300+ million?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but it does touch on it...the United States military runs what is essentially a completely socialized healthcare system via the ...

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE BETWEEN PROVIDING CONTRACEPTIVES OR SUPPORTING ABORTIONS????????????????????????

I didn't say they SUPPORT abortions (in fact, I stated that their "stated stance" was against abortions). Stop putting words into my mouth.

How have we came to that as a civilized society ...

This is a MEDICAL question, and has no business being made by an employer. That you provide insurance as a part of an employees compensation does not give you any more right to dictate what it covers than paying someone a wage gives you the right to dictate how it is spent.


Except that ...

You're arguing against yourself here. Those who aren't ready for the responsibility or don't want the lifestyle change are, for instance, quite likely to use the morning-after pill, therefore avoiding an actual abortion. Meanwhile, Hobby Lobby is actively working to make it more difficult for ...

So since people cannot learn to act responsible, others have to cover for them?

Yes, IF THEY TRULY WANT TO STOP ABORTIONS. You see, that's the point here. Hobby Lobby claims to be against abortion, but they are ACTIVELY WORKING TO CREATE THAT WHICH THEY CLAIM TO BE AGAINST.

So if Hobby Lobby ...

It's a fallacy to suggest that a choice between two very similar parties once every four years means that the American government is hog-tied and at the mercy of the will of the people. American politicians are just as good at betraying election pledges, passing bucks and kicking cans down the road ...

Its plain and simple. The MEDICAL care I recieve, as well as my personal beliefs about that care and just not my employer's business.. PERIOD.

Hiding behind your pocket book as if paying me for WORK somehow gives you the right to dictate my personal life is repugnant.

Perfect, we are in ...

The pieces are all coming together into an even bigger jumble of pieces!

For clarification, my post was sarcasm.

Right wingers always talking about handouts bla bla bla. 32 states receive more money from the federal government than they contribute.27 of them are RED states.

Interesting, lets dig a bit lower into those numbers, say at the individual level.

43% of people pay ZERO federal income taxes ...

Do you feel the WTC managed to get closer to heaven
and therefore needed to be knocked down a peg?
I suppose it's possible that it even affected communication
as the World now seems as divided as ever.

Should the towers in Kuala Lumpur be shaking in their foundations?
Oh I see your angle. Heaven ...

Can someone explain to my something? If Jesus was God in the flesh, why would Jesus/God sacrifice himself to himself to ransom humanity from his sins? Seems illogical doesn't it? Would you run out into the street and push your son/daughter out of the path of an oncoming car, thereby possibly ...

I agree with your analysis but one side question:
Why is it that the only options for people is to have contraceptives paid for or abortions? If you cannot afford contraceptives, perhaps you should be re-thinking your actions of intercourse. If I don't have money to put gas in my car, I don't go ...

Far from your original statement of barely minimum wage though, huh.

2/3 of the people in this country making min. wage are women. If u are a sales clerk for Hobby Lobby u are not making much more than min.wage. The cost of contraceptives run from $600 to $1000 dollars a year. One months salary. WTF people are so estatic over this piss poor ruling by 5 catholic men ...

Yet, one of your arguments is providing contraceptives so rape victims don't have to have abortions when that is the reason less than 1% of the time.

This thread has devolved nicely. UC is about to drop some creationist arguments denying that devolution is possible or it's designed by god. Anyway,

Mets, TG, patrick, etc., in less than 300 words, what's your stance on this issue?

To reiterate my stance (300 words or less...egad!):
