Why don't you quit the BS. If you want to say something about the book about Mitt Romney, why do you have to insult a group of people? I quess McCartyism is still live and doing well in your heart. Why should the Liberal get involved with conservative Christian infighting. I didn't hear any Liberals say they would not vote for a Mormom. I would vote for a Mormom just as quickly as I would vote for Jew, a Roman Catholic, a Protestant, a Budhist or an atheist. Besides, who ever heard of the book? It is not popular among the Liberals I know. I love it when conservatives blame Liberals for their own stupidity. We Liberals don't care about crap like that.

He expects to have troops under him taking orders that put their lifes in jeparty, while he insults many of them. I wish all the Gays would quit the US Military and then BuSh and his generals would beg for them to come back, because without the Gays this military would break. If he wants to express his personal beliefs, let him take his uniform off and say something as Mr. Peter Page. Who? That's right, no one knows who Peter Page is and no one would listen. No news story.

You have never played football.:bump2:

All of the examples you gave are medically related reasons for refusal. The issue that is most glaring is the one where a medical professional elects not to follow the rules of the company he is working for and does it for non-medical reasons.

And about the first commandment, how did the Lord take me out of Egypt? I have never been out of the USA.

About the forth commandment, Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. Six days shall you work and accomplish all your work but the seventh day is Sabbath to the Lord your God…. Does that mean that the fire department must let your home burn down on the sabbath? Does that mean that the US Military personal in Iraq must let terrorists kill and burn down buildings on the sabbath? NO NFL FOOTBALL?

The seventh Commandment, You shall not commit adultery disqualifies all the front runners in the Republican party who would allow these 10 Commandments to be posted in the courthouses and schools. :eek:

The fifth commandment according to the opening post is Honor your father and your mother and the sixth one is You shall not kill But I remember reading someplace in the Bible that the punishment for not honoring your father and mother is being stoned to death. So, in order to enforce the fifth, we have to break the sixth. I would rather drink the fifth. :eek:

So wouldn't the second commandment outlaw Crucifix's?

Do you castrate right after the trial or do you wait long enough to find out that the abuse never happened as in the McMartin cases about 20 years ago? There was a case in about 20 years ago, where a rapist chose to be castrated in return for an early release from prison. His next rape victim was found with a soda bottle in her vagina and light bulbs screwed into her breasts. These are not crimes of sex. They are crimes of anger and revenge. The vast majority of pedophiles were sexually abused as children and most often by a family member or friend of the family. Less than 10% of pedophiles ever get convicted, so taking societies anger out on that small group will not make our children appreciably saver. We need to stop teaching our children to be afraid of bogeymen, when it is Daddy, or uncle Bill, or the brother, or clergy who is most likely to be the molester. Most of all, we need screening of all children at a very young age to find out who is holding in that horrible secret which will eat at their soul until they either molest or turn to drugs or some other form of aberrant behavior.

That would vary from plane to plane. On some planes, DC9's and MD80's, for example, the walls on either side of the cockpit are full of electronic components on metal racks. Those walls are not going anywhere. I do not want to say anymore, because I would hate to find out that a terrorist learned something from reading what I wrote here at LBT. I wonder if terrorists need Lap-Bands.:eek:

Some people are just plain ignorant. I am 100% Italian as far as I know as is my first cousin. She married a fine Irish gentleman about 35 years ago and they have raised two fine children. The husband's mother still refers to my cousin and her husband as a "Mixed Marriage".

They call themselves sisters, but it is Brooklyn on the right and her (BFF) Kindergarten classmate Amalia. They spent the night at my son's home and because my son & daughter-in-law had to go out early, I took over the babysitting chores. And of course, it was lunch.

The ends do not justify the means. On the same radio show that I originally heard this idea to offer money so that addicts would voluntarily be sterilized discussed, a caller phoned in and suggested a solution to the crime problem that the US was facing. (BTW, this was about 1996, when the crime rate was dropping like a rock.) The caller suggested that any Black male arrested for a violent crime be castrated so that he could not pass on "His known violent Genes". The show's host, Bob Grant, of WABC Radio, saluted the woman for her great idea and said it should be looked into. He said that it was not racist because it was the choice of the person to be a criminal that would bring on the castration. I called the show to ask why a white man who commits a violent crime should not also be castrated and was told that Mr. Grant would not be speaking to me on the air. Of course, I did not actually want white men castrated, nor Blacks, but I was curious: #1. If it was not racist then why only should Black men be castrated? and #2. Isn't this approach going a little too far for a civilized society? The ends do not justify the means. Whether we are discussing protecting children from their parents by sterilization or castrating people to reduce crime.

Well God can't be Gay. He should have no gender. I almost wrote "He/She should have no gender" but that might get in on trouble, lest someone claim that I implied that God was a transvestite.

I have been so lonely without my Tina that I went out to a bar last night, got drunk and brought two girls home. They would not leave until I bought them Breakfast.

Put it on video tape or on a DVD, because they can misinterpret your written words or claim that you were under duress. A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Bingo!! Jesus was about Love and compassion, especially for the poor.

BuSh lied to congress about Husseins WMD and then asked for permission so that he could hold war over Hussein's head as a bargaining chip. BuSh lied to congress about that too. He did not use it as a last resort. He used it as soon as he felt like it, before the troops had the proper protection. He was in a hurry to do PNAC's bidding. How do I know if the picture you showed me is a terrorist or not. She looks no more, nor no less a terorist that the pictures you posted. Being an American does not make a person a terrorist, nor disqualify a person from being a terrorist. Timothy McVeigh was an American. Timothy McVeigh served his country.

And another problem is that people who do want help can not get it when they want it. My niece was a crack addict. I tried to get her into a rehab. She had no phone in the place she shacked up in. I made arrangements with a rehab to take her in as soon as she was detoxed. I would call every day from my home to the detox center to see if there were any female beds available. Finally after three weeks, they said they had a bed and I could bring her down after they spoke to her. I jumped in my car, drove the 20 minutes to where she should be, dragged her, half-asleep out of the burned out building she was living in and put her on a pay phone in the middle of a drug infested neighborhood (pre-cell phone). They asked to speak to her. I heard her answer about 4 or 5 questions and finally she said to me, "They said that I do not qualify". I asked to speak to them. I asked why my niece didn't qualify. The person on the other end told me that they asked my niece how often she used crack and my niece answered "3 or 4 times a week". "The minimum is 4 times a week" the voice on the phone told me. “Good by!” They had a bed not being used. There was a person who wanted to be saved. But the system had no compassion and did not care. My niece died of AIDS almost two years ago at the age of 39 leaving behind 6 children. She prostituted herself to support her addiction. It was her fault that she was an addict, but the "War on Drugs" has a hollow sound to my ears.

No it isn't. I read about a group doing this a few years ago and saw the person running the program on either 20/20 or one of the other similar shows.

Would you say that George H W Bush was a good president for realizing that taking Hussein out would be a stupid move by the USA in 1991 (Gulf War 1)?

Would you say that Marshal Tito was a good president for keeping his country's people under control?

Why didn't you put any pictures of IRA members in your post? They are terrorists. Why didn't you put any pictures of Stealth Bomber Pilots in your post? They are terrorists. If you don't think that "Shock and Awe"; an attack on civilian targets in the night with invisible planes is terrorism, then you should look up the meaning of the words terrorism and terrorist. #1. George W. BuSh in his first cabinet meeting in February 2001 asked how the USA could take out Hussein. #2. George W. BuSh in his first cabinet meeting in February 2001 was told that he should worry about Al-Quaida instead of Iraq by Richard Clark. #3. George W. BuSh surrounded himself with members of PNAC who in 1998 wrote Bill Clinton a letter demanding that Clinton take out Hussein. #4. George W. BuSh in his first cabinet meeting after 911, asked Richard Clark if Hussein had anything to do with 911. Clark said "No!" BuSh said look some more. #5. George W. BuSh in his first cabinet meeting after 911, asked CIA director George Tenent if Hussein had anything to do with 911. Tenent said "No!" BuSh said look some more. #6. George W. BuSh was going to give a speech in October of 2002, saying that Hussein tried to buy Uranium for WMD in Africa. The statement was taken out of the speech because the CIA said they could not verify it. #7. George W. BuSh used the statement saying that Hussein tried to buy Uranium for WMD in Africa in the 2003 "State of the Union Address" even though the CIA said they could not verify it. #8. The evidence that Colin Powell presented at the UN to prove that Hussein had mobile poison gas trucks was given to the USA by an exile from Iraq who wanted to be president of Iraq when the USA threw Hussein out. The CIA said they could not verify it. #9. US Diplomat Joe Wilson reported to the USA that Hussein had not tried to buy Uranium for WMD in Africa in February 2002, so the US government outed his CIA wife putting her and many other CIA agents' lives at risk.

Let's see we are debating two points here: #1. Was BuSh right to invade Iraq? Before the March 16, 2003 Invasion of Iraq, BuSh (or his people) claimed that Hussein had WMD and Iraq was tied to 911, and the administration continued to say it for years after. I said for at least 6 months prior to the March 16, 2003 Invasion of Iraq, that they would find no WMD in Iraq and Iraq had nothing to do with 911, and in fact Hussein and Bin Laden did not like each other. Recently BuSh has said regarding the reason for the Invasion of Iraq, mistakes were made, Hussein had nothing to do with 911 and there were no WMD. So why are you debating me? Debate with BuSh. I was right and he was wrong. His statement of "Mistakes were made" didn't mean that TOM made mistakes. It means that BuSh and/or his advisors made mistakes. So that leaves one other excuse for throwing away the lives of 3200 US servicemen: "The world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone". Well, that is not true either. Hussein was the safety valve holding Iran in check. The USA's military is at its breaking point, but now we may have to fight with Iran. Where are we going to get the people for that? Hussein was a scumbag, but he kept a 1400 year religious dispute under control. Now the USA has to figure a way out of the mess in Iraq. That mess may spill over into the rest of the Middle-East igniting WW3. #2. Is it right to leave the Translators to die? Part of that "The world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone" statement is the addendum that the people of Iraq will be better with Saddam gone. Well the people who have helped the USA the most in Iraq, the translators, are being left to die by the USA. There lives will not be better. Where is the compassion of the “US State department”? Where is your compassion? We are teaching the people of the Middle-East that the USA has no honor. If the USA turns its back on their few friends, how can the USA be trusted?
