Good beer? You've tried it or you just call it good because it's 7%? The state is a bunch of thugs because of an alcohol law? Speaking of whiny and immature... -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

The law was in place well before Abita brewed the beer. They're located in the fucking state. They knew the law. They invented the beer. The law maybe dumb but creating something you know can't be sold is even dumber. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I'm more surprised that there are 51 states. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Unless the west coast has refused to use oil from the gulf then you can feel free to step down off your high horse and go back to something respectable like pot farming. The liberals didn't allow off shore rigs because you'd rather have someone else do your work. Surprising, I know. Speaking of ignorance, the west coast uses oil from those rigs so keep beating on your chest big guy. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Spoken like a true Dem... 'but it's only $200 million...' -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

If that's valid then let's compare picking a single quote and presenting it as proof to picking a single individual and presenting it as proof. But a quick question; do YOU know a SINGLE quote out of the Koran? Nope. I'm sure I could google one or learn a couple out of context to prove a point though. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Execution of an innocent person is, by far, the worst because it involves premeditated killing by the state. In all other cases, even the death of a bystander in war, decisions made at an individual level may play a role and so it is--in a relative sense--less serious. I agree that the execution of an innocent person is the worst, mostly because of the same reasons lawdog listed. I don't, however, agree that the rest of the cases involved individual desisions that make them less serious. The person didn't choose to be hit by a drunk driver. The baby didn't choose to have its brain sucked out. The unforseen results of a seemingly insignificant decision shouldn't make one's fate less serious. Even so, the innocent person being executed made random decisions that led them to their predicament just as the innocent victim of a drive by did. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Publice furor is brewing because the ACLU is upset and there are some dark skinned people who will surely be affected? Complete horeshit. Standard. Americans are moving more towards strict feelings on immigration. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

That is a misnomer. Islam is a doctrine which contains its religion, means to govern and mandate of being subservient. Well. now, if you're going to use that broad a definition, fine; but acknowledge that lots of religions do that, not just Islam. Christianity, for example: That's just one example from one religion. So if Islam is not just a religion, but is a governing "doctrine", so is just about every religion. Talked to any Catholic priests lately? Orthodox rabbis? Spaghetti Monster prophets? Therrreee it is. I was wondering how long it would take to take a jab at Christians in a thread about some other religion. Less than a page. Solid work. Referring to that as a "jab at Christians" is a completely idiotic comment - worthy of Glen Beck, perhaps, but not intelligent discourse among adults. When you're done insulting our intelligence, let us know. Um, yes. Picking a single quote out of the entire book, out of context of course, in order to try and make a point is a jab at the religion. If someone picked a single passage out of the Koran to make an over arching point then I'm sure you'd all be quick to defend the Muslims. I'm afraid you may lack the required equipment for me to insult. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You realize this already happens, right? Up until now they just peak in your car for some reason. I'm guessing they are checking to see if anyone looks dark skinned and scared. Now they have the right to ask for an ID. Big change... I suppose it's not such a big change if you happen to be light skinned. Did that make sense in your head before you wrote it. This is the way things already are. The difference is that the illegals can be arrested. Rather than strictly racial profiling, they can ask for an ID. As much as it probably burns you up, this is actually more fair that what is currently happening. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Do your mother and grandmother not want you to be with her because of her atheism? 1. People, even atheists, can and do become religious later in life. The fact she used to be religious may or may not push her to be religious later. 2. Will you stop loving her later in life if she does become religious again? If you can imagine yourself not loving her because of an internal decision she might make in the future then maybe the love isn't as deep as you think. 3. If you love her and marry her then you should conisder her the number one woman in your life. Mother and grandmother take a back seat to your wife even if it hurts to admit it. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Not really. I'm sure you feel clever though. I just think it's funny you guys didn't have anything to say about their release; just straight for attacking their religion. Imagine my surprise. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Of course, there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support your position despite millennia of trying to find some. Of course, yours is unproven as well. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

He also said.... "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life." Matthew 19:30 Now there are some family values. 2 for 2 on threads today going after Christianity. The "kidnappers" were cleared of charges so "QUICK, ATTACK THEIR RELIGION." You guys are so sad sometimes. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

He was never a uniter. The problem is that anyone who pointed that out was called a racist. So much irony it's rediculous. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A Haitian judge said Monday he has dismissed kidnapping and criminal association charges against 10 American missionaries detained for trying to take a busload of children out of the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake. Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said Laura Silsby, the last of the 10 missionaries jailed in Haiti, still faced a lesser charge for allegedly organizing the effort to transport the 33 children to an orphanage they were setting up in the Dominican Republic. Silsby faces up to three years in prison if convicted on the remaining charge, the "organization of irregular trips," from a 1980 statute restricting travel out of Haiti signed by then-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier. Silsby declined comment from her jail cell. Shiller Roi, a lawyer for Silsby, declined comment, saying he hadn't yet received the judge's written decision. The judge told The Associated Press that the charge of organizing the trip was also pending against Jean Sainvil, a Haitian-born pastor from Atlanta who also helped organize the venture. Sainvil did not immediately respond to message left on his voicemail. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/04/26/haiti-drops-kidnapping-charge-missionaries/?test=latestnews -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I don't like spam emails like those either, but which one of those do you consider a lie? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I'll speak slowly. Take out a calculator. Type in 1.5 trillion. Hit the "-" button. Type in 650 billion. Press the "=" button. I'm no fortune teller, but I'm guessing your calculator reads somewhere around 900 billion. Shutting down the ENTIRE Department of Defense wouldn't even reduce the deficit by half. How do you think reducing military spending will balance the budget? On top of closing the entire DoD, what would you suggest shutting off in order to get the deficit under control? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Well said. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Interesting. You're okay with people having lots of money if they earn it by honestly working, but object to people just given it for doing nothing. Yet support government programs that give people money for doing nothing. So it's a quantity thing? How would you deal with a hard worker who lost his job in the recession (caused by wealthy bankers) through no fault of his/her own? Let him/her and family starve? So only people who lost their jobs due to illegal banking deserve welfare. Are you saying the tax refunds to people who didn't pay taxes should stop? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Using the tax code in your favor is indefensible? When you fill out your taxes, do you look for any deductions or plan the best way to file? If not, then I would suggest you reserve the term moron. 1st, if they are breaking the law then they should be stopped. Just because they're using the tax code to maximize deductions does not mean they're abusing it. 2nd, what exactly do you consider they're "fair share." That's a pretty fucking stupid term when half the country doesn't pay anything, let alone their "fair share." You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Well, fuck them... right? I guess we'll just base the tax system on what funjumper101 thinks is a fair share and what funjumper101 thinks should be a tax exemption. Just because you disagree does not mean they are breaking the law. Just because the hundreds of billions they pay in taxes every year isn't what you consider a "fair share" doesn't mean they're scumbags. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I'm suggesting that we don't send checks in the mail to 40% of the population. Since the spread between the rich and poor continues to increase, handouts are obviously not a productive activity. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
