“Tyrannical government? Damn them for giving me access to health care! Damn them from stopping a worldwide financial collapse. Damn them for saving our only manufacturing base. Damn them for the middle class tax cut and the investments in green energy. Damn them for children's health care expansion. Damn them fro letting my mom make as much as my dad for the same job.”

“I sure wish love would come back into religion. Wouldn't that be special...­.”

“Since the inventions of religions it has never existed. If you believe it was ever there in the first place then that surely exposes you as completely delusional and very unlearned. Please, there is no real offence intended.

Begin your study into the origins of any and all religions and each one begins with good and well-meaning intentions but shortly they each all succomb to hate, intolerance of others and bigotry. None is without it's flaws. Believe me ... I have searched.

Today, I have seen enough hate, bloodshed and intolerance all in the name of religions to fill 3 lifetimes. (I am lucky to have traveled the world for my job several times) I am an atheist and never have I had a more full and well being to my spirit. Something beyond even my own understanding.

You will never understand the full meaning of my statements until you live for a while in any of the northern Scandinavian countries. According to some recent studies on "happiness" there is no region on earth where there is more love, tolerant and a happier people. And more than 90 to 95 percent of the population are atheist. I am not claiming that one has to be an atheist to be happy but it certainly opens the door to make one ponder.”

“There are two powers in the US right now, but they are not working in tandem but are struggling for power.

Corporate America has taken over the US for their own financial benefit and Republicans are helping them do it every step of the way. (Repubs started the bailouts, although they were required by pragmatic reality, not by ideology)

Democrats are our only hope to limit corporate control. No other organization has enough power to stop corporate america from raping every American for their own bottom line profit.

We NEED a big government to wrestle control back from the Corporate Masters who could care less about anything but profits.”

“"Democrats are our only hope to limit corporate control."

Have you been paying attention to the news at all? Dems are bought and paid for just as much as republicans.

And your desire for a big govt. indicates that you can't eat breakfast in the morning without some authority telling you it's ok.”

“Have you ever heard of being RESPONSIBLE! If you signed a contract for a $450k, then you owe $450k., even if your investment went down.

“You wouldn't be paying for squat. You'd just be the fool that keeps giving the bank your money for the ponzi scheme they laid on your economy for 10 years to pad their accounts.

Don't you realiz AT ALL that it was ALL a SCAM?

Oh well...you just keep on writing those checks.

Besides, isn't it ALL rent once the "investment" part of home ownership turns out to be a scam? So who cares.”

“"McHugh speculated that gays might be allowed to serve in some units but not others, while also stressing that no such plans had been discussed.­"

You can see what Obama is up against. Despite this positive assertion, you'll notice that he speculated that 'they' could serve in some units and not in others? So what, lifting the ban will mean that all of a sudden 'the gays' are identified and then segregated? Then the real discrimination can begin?

I don't think these army guys get it...”

Pearlswan replied on Oct 27, 2009 at 17:29:17

“I think he just said that because that is how they were able to admit women--by exempting them from combat units. However, women are permitted to be MPs (Military Police) and, often, it is the MPs who are doing the local law enforcement in combat zones. So not being in a combat unit has nothing to do with whether you will show up in a combat zone during your service. So why do they make the distinction to begin with? Its probably just a political distinction that facilitated women's entry into regular armed forces units. Now that women are serving and being killed in combat zones its time to remove that second-class distinction on women and don't even bother applying the same policy to LGBT soldiers, as its useless, offensive, and harmful.”
