Proving a point may not be good enough for you, but it's good enough for the Supreme Court. And how is putting up their display next to a religious display disrespectful?

Honestly, I would have never noticed a difference a 4$ difference in price. That being said, from what I've read this isn't the first time he's done something like this to a small mom and pop type biz (some other story about him and the wording on a groupon coupon). Being that he seems to get so...

But you can't get to kids with statistics. Just like statistics didn't prevent you from smoking, it won't prevent someone from doing drugs. Al-anon is helpful for helping YOU from getting lost in someone else's adiction.

Life expectancy doesn't seem to matter as much to those using or abusing (since everyone dies of something) as much as quality of the life lived. For example, when I was a smoker, the statistics of how much sooner smokers died vs. non smokers didn't really effect me. That was a date way in the...

If the children were swapped I don't know how you would find out without other people (and eventually the other parents) knowing. The law has pretty much sided with the child belonging with their natural parents. So, if it came out that my youngest was swapped, I'd hope to work with the other...

No idea. I wasn't involved at all. There were lots of protests. Maybe some had permits, maybe none had permits, maybe all had permits. The permits aren't a requirement - constitutions guarantee the right to protest. The permits are more of an organizational formality so emergency services, and...

I've marched in protests before, though not in this one. The protest organizers, when applying for permits, lay out the protest route and times effected so police/hospitals/emergency etc. can work around it. I've been in ones that travel along highways and on/off ramps as well. Traffic is routed...

Exactly. The only say you have, is if you want to donate or not. After that it's someone else's decision. And it's not just with individuals - also with charities. I may give my last 100$ to a cure for whatever, but 90% of that may go for overhead, and bloated executive salaries, and a...

Meh- there are some guys who I thought were nice to look at, until they opened their mouth. And others that grew on me after I got to know them. I've always been a firm believer in, what you look like is good for about half an hour - after that, you're on your own.

A good place to start is deathwithdignity.org.

Got rid of the landline about 6 years ago - never missed it, but the last few years we had it we didn't really use it. Also, between having Amazon prime, and Hulu (so can watch shows and movies on our tablets) this year we gave up the cable and went with an antenna. We get all the major...

It seems they do keep the feeding of the homeless in one place. And it's not at your neighbors house. It's in a public park. I assume they pick that location because it's a central location that can hold a fair amount of people. I assume they passed the law, because some people don't like to see...

Do I consider marriage hard work? I guess it depends on who you're married to. I have a friend who tends to walk on eggshells around her DH - I would consider that hard work. I don't consider my marriage hard work, but we are both easy going, laid back people

Thats the way it used to be. Disney, like many other large corporations, have gone the way of preferring to hire part timers, while expanding the college program with temporary workers to save on benefits for a bigger return for the stock holders. Nothing wrong with that, but when you have part...

Because they mean it at the time they say it, and tradition, which is important to many people. But then life happens. Do you think they should take the line out because divorce is an option, so why promise at all? If we went with that logic, why would a law emforcement officer take an oath to...

Saying have a nice evening isn't necessarily harassment, but think of it more in the surroundings and the intention by it. If a man says have a great day to a couple walking down the street vs. a single woman walking down the street it's going to have a different perception to those receiving...

Just like the Twitter campaign last spring about not all men vs yes all women, you can't compare "here's what a man goes through when falsely accused of rape or domestic violence" to something like this - reason being - not all men are falsely accused of a crime. Not even a majority of men are...

There have always been a percent of kids that haven't been supported and guided as they grow up. That's not a new thing -I know when I was growing up (way back in the 60s and 70s) there were about a dozen kids in my small town that seemed to run wild without any apparent supervision. I'm sure...

The problem is, there isn't any one reason. So you just can't change one thing and then all the school shootings stop. Instead of blaming one thing (easy access to weapons, mental illness, bullying etc) and then drawing a line in the sand with people lining up on either side we really have to...

Personally, we've pulled back on the Disney, and are now booking more cruises. Call me lazy, but I work hard at home, and want vacation to be about relaxing and reconnecting with family. Hyper planning works great for A type personalities - that is soooooooo not us. We're more "wing it" type...
