  • Iowa Supreme Court Throws Marriage Under the Bus

    What other things do you consider as a mental disorder? I think the Banking Queen yesterday said that the Republicans have mental disorder.

    I think the things like Social Security is far more egregious than the gay marriage. The these taxes take the labor of other people, the time. It enslaves people to the government. The gay marriage is nothing compared to all these government spending that the right were not able to stop. The government requires its citizens to give more to the state than the church at 15% SSN + 2.x% medicare.

    I think the culture you talk about do not exists in the places of the ever growing governmental power.

    Most of the comments so far from #1 to #22, none them argue of merit of the ruling. I see no consitutional amendments that sanctions x-marriage versus y-marriage. Silent of the issue do not mean that the founders were agnostic. Maybe, they could not have imagined the such scenario.

    However, it is highly unproductive to stand against something without one’s ability to substantiate the opposing view.

    I think many of the problems we have today are bystandards who do nothing while they scream about something to be bad for x or y. The problems are the center-right populists who screams and shouts about something without being educated themselves on the issues; and their inability to articulate properly on what they do and do not stand for on many of these issues that confront America. The problems allow the conditions of center-right drones where the drones think they can believe in something without them knowing anything about the issues. There is no solid rock here. And this condition is no different than the many liberals who believe in something to feel better about themselves while not doing anything about it at all, or some on the left who stood and stands against the Iraq War while shouting senseless phrases as “No War for Oil.” Many of our folks on the right side are doing the very same thing with the gay marriage and other issues.

    This is an act of intellectual laziness and does not do any good for the cause of liberty. Please educate yourself. Go read Levin’s and Sowell’s book at least.

  • Can anyone tell me what gives govt right to sell airwave for $6 billion.

    What gives govt right to sell airwave spectrum. Why does it cost $6 billion and who gets the $6 billion?

    Where did the idea of govt selling airwaves come from and is this good?

    Why doesn't the government institute vision tax. so, if you have a resort and it happens to be in a nice place, govt. charges vision tax for seeing pretty landscape.

    Can someone enlighten me the provision of govt charging airwaves?

    Thanks in advance..

    It's a guy like you who encourages poor civil discourse. "Fag"
    What is wrong with you?
    Why can't you have more civil dialog?

    I don't like when liberals call Rush Limbaugh extreme right-wing like it is a disease. I don't like when TV commercials portray white guys as some stupid idiots and every other race as smart. I don't like when it's funny to pick guys grown and everybody laughts at it. it's really silly. at same time, you calling Gays, "Fags" is really sad. Comments like that enables others to be less civil.

    I saw this movie and I didn't like it.
    The movie was too long and didn't really have a captivating story. I don't know how movie like this wins any awards. South Park, the movie was better than Brokeback. Office Space was far better than this movie. There are hundreds, if not thousands movie far better than this.

    The movie does bring some valuable message at the end. People should seize the moment and go for the things that are value to individuals.

  • Osteen family leaves plane after dispute (pastor's wife didn't follow a fa's instructions)

    would you prefer if he was worshiping at the SuperDome?

    There is no specific setting that God want us to worship for the most part. I am not sure how wealthy he is but i can only assume he has about $500,000 of asset. And most of it was generated by the sell of his $150,000 home that he bought several years ago. I am not even sure how much he got from selling books but his book is really good.

    God never said that if you worship me I will make you poor or does it say if you worship me I will make you rich. He never shows off his bling bling if he even has one. He never talks about money during his service. I am not sure why you have this problem.

    You make it sound like he sold some "Jesus-Water" for "Jesus-Cloth." He sold books that were legimately good read and helpful for many people. There is nothing wrong with that. Would you rather him not written the book at all? I don't know what he did with his money but that's not for me to decide. I don't think God is displeased with him selling books that contains his message and that can help people to get in touch with God. Not everybody has to attend fire breathing churches.

    Look at the big picture. He is reaching out to people who other wise turned away from God. I would almost anything if I can bring people to God.

    It is just called a Compaq Center. Maybe, you prefer Playboy center instead of Compaq. The brand almost don't exist anyway. So, why does it matter?

    You are really a stupid jerk.
    We don't even know the full context of the story.
    All you know is the press report.
    Here you are assuming that she was on med or she gone crazy.
    You don't even know her yet you talk evil of someone who you don't know.
    What's wrong with you. This is Christmas season.

    I guess you found your cause. Some people fight for cancer or HIV, in your case, you have found Victora Osteen to lynch mob. Big Jealous fool.

    Their service is so positive and they never ask for money. I don't know what this fool is talking about.

  • Can Kroger slow Wal-Mart?

    that's untrue. You wait in Publix, too.
    You wait in TomThumb. In fact, you wait longer in TomThumb and Publix.

    they are not any cleaner or dirtier than Wal-Mart.

    Most of the time, (90%) I can check out my groceries in 5 minutes. You go to new refreshed grocery stores and everything looks fancy but they have one checker and those self-checkout computer where you have to scan items over and over and finally the computer self-checkout person has to help you with their card. I think these computers often takes longer to check out. In Publix, TomThumb, Kroger, or Albertson, you wait just as much as Wal-Mart, if not longer. Wal-Mart has... at any given time has more checkers then any of those stores combined. do you know Wal-Mart has all of their registers opened during weekends. That's like 30 registers open. Other stores, during their best peek time, they might have 7 open. But usually they don't because for whatever reason, they like unmanned registers and they like the emptied look. Wal-Mart has more opened registers then any of those grocery stores.

    I used to dislike Wal-Mart but compare to others, Wal-Mart is better. Better price, better selections, more selections, faster checkouts, better products... just better.



    You are telling me average Publix's customer service is better than average Wal-Mart. That's false assumption and conclusion.

    well, those people thought it would be unfair for them to flee with their car when there are people who can't flee because they don't have cars. So, make things equal and feel good about themsleves, they decided not to drive the car.

    It's twisted logic but it works for them.

    so, you are telling me Lotus 1-2-3 on DOS/386 on VGA Monitor ($2000 computer back then) will run just as fast as Lotus 1-2-3 on Windows Vista/Pentium 8xx processors ($1000 computer) at lower price level?

    They should round up people who petitions for this and who are gay, and post their names on the Internet and let their employer know their stands on this issue.

    What these gay advocates are doing is outrageous and almost mobbish.
