This is completely a vanity, so if you are not interested, please no rude comments and just continue on by. I have a situation that I would like some fellow freeper/conservative opinions and thoughts on. I am an adult, but I have a large family and several much-younger siblings. My youngest brother is 13 years old. He has invited me to be his friend on MySpace. (I recently joined to keep up with old college friends and occasionally use it. My site's pretty dull, haha). However, I was browing his site and was very concerned about some of the content....

Yesterday, a co-worker came into my office, planted a document on my desk, leaned over and began explaining it to me. What she didn't realize was that by leaning over, her loose blouse fell open and Hootchie Mama, I saw some things that only her husband and her doctor were entitled to see.It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I couldn't look away. I stood up but then I could see even farther down to the tattoos on her stomach.What should I have done? Should I have said something?

Once again President Bush is placing our country and it's assets in he hands of foreigners while ignoring the welfare and security of Americans. The recent port deal adds to a litany of unfortunate moves he obstinately pursues and defends. When first announced, Bush said he would have not have approved the Saudi company's takeover of ports if he had any inkling that our citizens would be put at risk. How naive! Extensively publicized events revealed that two of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and also that a Saudi bank had laundered al-Quaida money. The possiblity that other...

DEAR ABBY: Several of my friends and I were bemoaning our status as single women in our late 20s/early 30s, and discussing an article we had read in The New York Times about how smart women are less likely to get married. We'd all like to find Mr. Wonderful and be married. But if we have to curtail our professional success, financial wherewithal and IQ to do it, how can a person even begin to do such a thing? I have a feeling you'll say to be ourselves and it will all work out, but thus far it has NOT...

DEAR ABBY: I was a soldier serving in Iraq. Last April, I was in a vehicular accident while part of a military convoy and was MEDEVACed to the nearest medical treatment facility. When you're a trauma patient in the United States, you're put in a cubicle in an emergency room, blocked off from the rest of the patients. That is not the case in the military during a war. I didn't mind sharing the trauma room with the Marine who had arrived there before me. He had been shot three times in the face. While I was in the room...

Chicago, IL (LifeNews.com) -- A Chicago Tribune columnist is catching fire for recommending that a mother take her 22-year-old daughter to an office of Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion operation. Advice guru Amy Dickinson went so far as to suggest that the mother drive her adult daughter to Planned Parenthood and stay in the waiting room during her consultation. The daughter has a two-year-old son and recently miscarried another child. Dickinson wrote, “I think that a young woman who at 22 has already had at least one unplanned pregnancy needs to reassess her behavior -- and her birth-control method."...

<p>KANSAS CITY, Mo.  — Somewhere in Springfield, state unknown, Bart Simpson is in detention, filling a chalkboard with the words "I will not write a fake letter to Dear Abby."</p> <p>Well, it probably wasn't Bart's handiwork, but he'd no doubt approve of the prank that forced Dear Abby's editors to pull next Monday's advice column, which included a letter that mirrored an episode of "The Simpsons."</p>

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- "Dear Abby" is giving some bad advice, according to people who oppose legalized abortion. In a column earlier this year, "Abby" recommended that a young pregnant woman who professed to being "Alone and Terrified" report to Planned Parenthood for counseling. Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion operation. A number of readers questioned the wisdom of Abby's advice. This week, she devoted an entire column to pro-life objections to her advice. For instance, someone identified as "Appalled in Florida" wrote: "I was shocked when I read your reply to ‘Alone and Terrified,’ the teenage girl...
