However having a child is much more expensive than aborting one...
You plan on having more kids, Jim, or just paying for someone else's?

Mark M., then you should support the ACA, excerpt from, ...the Affordable Care Act finally makes healthcare affordable and accessible for women
As long as you are a woman on this side of the womb. I just heard today on the radio that the so-called "morning after pill" was now going to be covered by ACA as "preventative medicine" for women (except for the newly conceived ones looking for a place to implant themselves into the uterine wall!)

I really need to find what the good brands are, I'm going to stop buying these from one store, because they seem to burn out all too quickly, I doubt if these things are burning me with ultraviolet rays, but they are burning a hole in my pocket! They, like all florescent bulbs, also have to be disposed of properly, because they do contain mercury.
I've had mixed results with these bulbs too. I recently disposed of one I bought back in the early 2000s, but I've had others not last nearly as long.

Sorry, but I didn't get the brand name before I threw it out.

Incidentally, is it possible to redeem the mercury in a reasonably safe manner from these things? Toxic as it is, a friend of mine told me mercury is great for cleaning the lead out of gun barrels, provided you can obtain enough of it to do the job. My friend got his from discarded mercury switches removed from old HVAC control units.

Obama is a millionaire. Let him pay for their "health care choices" (contraception and abortions.) What basis does he use to say someone else should pay? That is common thievery. Talk about going backwards? That's all he's done to the country since getting into office.
The "basis" is a kind of weird mindset I see in numerous members of our culture--even the older ones, who grew up during the depression. I see it in members of my family--and in certain people from Nebraska .

This "basis" appears to be some kind of game where the object seems to be to try to get as many of your own personal expenses paid for by someone else, so you don't have to. Since FDR at least, THIS has been the "American way" for a whole lot of people .

Good.

I'd like to see more people defending FREE SPEECH, including restaurant-owners' rights to criticize something they don't like. Self-absorbed, thin-skinned Americans will be the death of free speech everywhere in this country unless something is done about it.

Reminds me of when Aaron pointed to a golden calf he himself had just made, saying to Israel: "These are the gods that brought you out of Egypt!".

Rings as true as a Fundy sermon anecdote.
Apparently he'd treated so many that it got to the point where 9 times out of 10 he could guess the cause, so he simply asked them "Baseball bat?", and would be right. A baseball bat does give one at least 2-ft of stand-off distance, which is more than a knife would provide, so I can see why British subjects would favor the bat over the knife in such situations. I no longer have the link to the article but anyone curious enough to verify what I've stated, and clever enough to search Google with sufficiently descriptive strings, could probably find out for themselves.

P.S. Sermon Audio Moderator: If you remove this comment, you're going straight to Hell. Go read your Bible, and get right with God.
Should not the women have died also then? This is opposite of muslims who tend to kill the adulteress first, and go easier on the adulterous man.

If guns are not available, people will use whatever is at hand. I remember reading an article years ago about an ER doctor in the UK who treated burglars' head injuries. First question he'd ask them is "baseball bat?", to which they would reluctantly nod their heads. Since UK homeowners can't get guns they use the next best thing. How ironic that in a land where Cricketers outnumber baseball players by a huge margin that Louisville Sluggers would sell almost as well as cricket bats. Baseball bats may produce less collateral damage than guns but the user MUST close with his opponent in order to subdue him giving the opponent that much greater opportunity to strike back.

"On May 22, law enforcement officials said Holmes bought a Glock pistol. Less than a week later, he upgraded to a shotgun. The following week he bought an AR-15 rifle, versions of which had been outlawed under the assault weapon ban in 1994. But that prohibition expired in 2004 and Congress, in a nod to the political clout of gun enthusiasts, did not renew it." (huffingtonpost.com)
If I remember right, California still has an "assault weapons" ban, and if this is the case, individual states can still outlaw them if they wish and/or have the political will to do so. In the early 2000s I wanted to buy an AR but was not able to because it was illegal to do so in California where I live. You can still get SKS, Mini-14, and a few other similar guns but AR and AK guns are not allowed.

Did this article actually cause arguments about guns amongst brethren?
It probably started at least as many arguments among secular liberals, who tend to link being evil with being less enlightened or less "smart". James Holmes, like the Uni-bomber of the early 1990s, is not some disaffected uneducated hick, he is (we're told) VERY "smart".

All rights, including gun rights, will continue to be threatened as long as our culture continues to be less and less Godly/mature/truly-enlightened.

For me comic books were a massive distraction which consumed significant resources of time, energy, and thought, which could have been much better used to engage and learn more about the real world. My biggest regret is not having done more in life (thanks in large part to my obsession with the sort of fantasy entertainment comics and related media provide in such abundance); and when I see the huge numbers of volumes dealing with the so-called "Harry Potter 'universe'", the "Star Trek and Star War 'universes'", as well as many others, it makes me sick to my stomach knowing that legions of other 'kids' are similarly squandering huge chunks of their lives even as I did.

And Jim has commented on here for more than just Obama's watch. More like 10 years or more. I have no doubt that he challenged Bush whilst in office on these forums.

I seem to remember he did--but it could be that he was criticizing Bush 41 while Bush 43 was still in office. Then he would've been consistent in his practice of not criticizing a sitting President.

If you would but open your eyes, Jim, you would see our government, especially this administration of it, doesn't care a whit about Christians, foreign or domestic.
Bush-bashers like Jim do tend to be awfully silent when it comes to criticizing Obama. Does make you wonder where their heart really lies.

Back in '92 my dad got SO incredibly angry at Bush 41, mostly because his pocketbook suffered while Bush 41 was president, that he enthusiastically supported and voted for Clinton despite the many warnings from me and my more conservative siblings.

"Follow the money" has got to be one of the wisest pieces of analytical advice ever offered when trying to figure out people, events, and situations.

Amen to both comments below.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket while people fuss over the new Batman movie (bread and circuses while Rome burns), not caring a whit about whether or not Government is being lawful in its practices.

What incentive to go where the jobs are, when the state pays you enough to stay home and not work?(The states with the most "benefits," like NY, want to keep the dependent voters here) If one isn't hungry enough, he's not likely to move. Not only the work ethic, but the pioneer spirit is diminishing.
Yep. On one of his recent shows, John Stossel's staff was able to locate literally dozens of entry-level jobs in the vicinity of a big-city welfare office (might have even been in New York) right after being repeatedly told by many people in line that "there weren't any jobs anywhere". Even I have to admit that California living, climate, and overall economic expectations have spoiled me so much that I cannot imagine moving to North Dakota to get one of those many lucrative oil jobs (thankfully I don't need to--yet!), so I definitely agree about our "diminished pioneer spirit".

Great line!

Current culture is so used to "getting someone else to pay for it"--whatever "it" may be--that our cities are finally going broke, which was inevitable.

Maybe they are just doing it wrong. Rather than "smacking" or "physical punishment" just try an old fashion 'WHOOPIN'. It works. :-)
Sarcasm or not, you may be more right than you realize

The father of two of my childhood friends spanked them when they were young, but when they became teenagers he would literally punch them in the shoulder twice when they misbehaved. Their "man's man" of a father would warn them ahead of time saying they would receive what he called "two shots in the shoulder" if they misbehaved. Though I would never recommend this method of discipline for just any kid it certainly worked for my friends who grew up to be fine, well-adjusted--and VERY tough, successful athletic adults.

Everybody's different. Problem is we live in an increasingly rationalized culture that too often seeks a one-size-fits-all "solution" to our problems. Obamacare being a prime example of this.
