| There are already laws against various forms of fraud. Unfortunately, there are also laws that make it legal to use a reasonable portion of donated money for operating expenses. Even more unfortunate is that these laws don't always specify what percentage is deemed "reasonable". That is a... |

| Do I sound like a Roman Catholic to you, monsieur? You totally do to me,specifically a Jesuit Priest. I can see why the Landover Baptist forum characters jumped to that conclusion. You aren't, but you do sound like somebody who got a PhD in Theological Studies. There is a stereotype of Jesuits as &... |

| I personally think that JH15 was inspired in part by events in Iraq and Afghanistan. Soldiers were walking in crowded areas in full camo fatigues and carrying M16's, driving around Sadr City in military Humvees, and they were pretty much sitting ducks. The rebels would bury explosives in potholes, ... |

| My belief is that systematic mind control extends far beyond television, and even what we call advertising, and in fact permeates our entire cultures. Oh yes. I even wonder if there ever was a time when mind manipulation didn't exist. My guess is that the equivalent to modern ads used to manipulate... |

| I should post a considered, thoughtful reply but I just can't stop laughing. This must be one of those UK/US differences. If you force your way through the New York City subway doors as they are closing, the other passengers will be annoyed but the transit police could not possibly care less. The ve... |

Parents sacrifice enough time and energy raising their children to deserve that they become functioning adults without causing much trouble.

If you're strong-willed enough, you'll avoid the worst parts, so you get what you have coming. Where's the problem? did you miss the part about more likely ... |

The rate is steadily dropping on its own. http://www.multpl.com/us-population-growth-rate/table/by-year This year in the U.S. the population growth rate is 0.73% Last year it was 0.75% T... |
