If medicare and SS went away tomorrow I would be a happy camper. I would give up all the years I have paid in if I could stop paying right now. I can provide my own social security and my own medical care...no fed gov needed. I am sure that is a concept you won't understand.

So you want single payer...100% fed gov healthcare?

You do know medicare and SS are paid for by the recipients and the fed gov is simply giving them back THEIR money, right?

Once again...a fed gov fix.

That's what "they" said about healthcare.

You obviously know a lot more about this than me but I also know the last thing I would want is the fed gov involve themselves so they can "fix" the problems.

  How so?

But you do think the ISPs will screw us over if not reigned in by the fed gov...right?

  So your opinion is the fed gov MUST step in or the big bad ISPs are going to screw everyone over if they aren't kept in check.   You are saying the fed gov is the answer to this problem (not really a problem) right?

  An article was posted, you didn't like it but won't say why when questioned...usual deflection.   Why don't you explain to us what net neutrality is...google it if you need to...there are tons of articles on it.   I'm a low information voter???  Good one.

  And I simply asked if net neutrality was good or bad...and why.   And I got the typical "you hate obama" response.   So I'm still waiting too.

  Read back where I said anything about it one way or another...I didn't.   You jumped in to bash the article so why don't you explain why instead of your usual deflection.   Or Buddy Garrity, since you like the comment he made and must agree with it, you explain why this is a good thing for the internet since he won't.

Smitty posted an article that you two want to bash but rather than bash the article and why we conservatives don't understand it, try explaining the merits in net neutrality that you obviously see that we don't.

  Is this good or bad in your opinion, and why?

  So do I...after reading his book, I thought it was a miracle that he even made it to the MLB.

    The pastor is right...judging anyone on where they will spend eternity is definitely above anyone's pay grade down here.   We are, however, called to use some discernment and know them by their fruits...we can all recognize and call out sinful behavior.   It's not judging to recognize a chronic wife beater and condemn the sinful behavior, but we cannot and should not condemn the person, that is God's job, and his only.   God loves the sinner and hates the sin...thank goodness, because we are all sinners.

Reading material to support your theory...but nothing more. That was my original point.

Can you post some links that show definitive proof that there are homosexual genes?

Convenient... any behavior can get the "I was born that way" pass. Tiger Woods should have claimed that one.

Like I said...that's your theory, nothing more. Do you think some folks are born bisexual?

  Nice theory...but that's all it is, your theory.   Why does someone choose to be a drug addict when it destroys their life...are they born a drug addict...can they choose not to be a drug addict?   Homosexuality is behavior, not genetic...that's my theory.

  He has no problem drawing a line...it's keeping the line in the same spot he has a problem with.

From the article:   King Abdullah understands full well that he is in a winner take all showdown with ISIS, which he describes as "a Third World War."     [Hidden Content]     Obama calls them the jv team...two very different views...who's right?

  Freudian slip, maybe?  :D   And good luck on the off topic thing...they all wander off but usually come back.
