A liver, brain, heart, lungs et al are called organs That is just politically correct bullshit...go with baby parts!

In my case the rapture tends to be mid-titillation.

Are they selling baby parts? Considering an aborted fetus is not a baby, neither is Planned Parenthood.

How do you know they are making a profit? They've been caught on camera detailing how they do things. Now they're suing to block the release of the other videos. So clearly, they're trying to save face and are in damage control. The trick now will be proving they are in fact violating the law. Won't be easy. They have admitted they are selling them. Other companies buy them and sell them to research facilities. This has all been admitted by various people. How do you know Planned Parenthood is making a profit and therefor doing something illegal?

How do you know they are making a profit?

Yup, just like when somebody croaks they discuss how best to preserve the organs for donation. Since the aborted tissue is not viable, it can be traded for research. I am a little confused though. You tend to rant a rave about how the government should be run as a business. Now this process is being run as a business and you are all bent out of shape. Let me guess, you want to make sure legislation is passed to ensure this is completely illegal and no longer in a grey zone?

And that is all it is; an opinion. Mine is substantially different than yours. Have a good day, Jerry Baumchen So selling baby parts is ok with you Ahhhhhh Ok Doesn't appear to be illegal. You can't profit from the body parts, but midnight TV always tells me shipping and handling is extra. Never mind that Jerry never said he was ok with it, just another strawman from rushmc.

Waste of money and time? It is quite a brilliant business plan. Lots of rich people because of it. The dead people are mostly from the lower classes, so most would designate that an acceptable cost of doing business.

There was more at play than that. Rob did actually accomplish quite a bit. Including decent reductions in cost. My property taxes have gone down, while my valuation has gone up. He was also pretty much the only conservative candidate in a town which has historically been run by left to far left wing politicians supported by labour unions. His poll numbers prior to dropping out where IMHO slanted with pity for his cancer diagnosis.

Those guys and gals are real heros! Pssswtah. Anyone can swim. As far as I'm concerned it was another surfing day for them. I mean, the idea is to not have to get wet, and they did. Funny joke eh? Impressiveness of the swim really depends on how rough the surf was. The swim portion of an Iron Man is 4,224 yards, after which you'd still have to bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles. Dick Hoyt does it while pulling his adult son in a dinghy.... This to me is impressive: https://youtu.be/dDnrLv6z-mM Not to deminish the feat of the rescue swimmer, but unless the surf was huge, I would guess he himself would rate the swim as pretty easy.

You aren't giving them any money. The reduction of economic sanctions is the functional equivalent. How does that put you into further debt? I don't think this deal is a great deal by any stretch of the imagination, but making comments about going into debt to give them money is nowhere near accurate.

You aren't giving them any money.

Nice way to minimize the facts: 1. We (via the CIA) engineered a coup to overthrow their democratically elected government and install a dictator of our choosing (the Shah). [Look up "operation Ajax" if you don't believe me.] 2. We (via the CIA) trained the Shah's secret police, the SAVAK, in techniques of torture as well as infiltration of virtually all political activity opposed to the Shah; these tools SAVAK used to great effect to suppress political dissent. Along the way thousands of Iranians were imprisoned and tortured for years, or often just "disappeared". We also spent billions to keep the Shah's military and SAVAK well armed. By smothering the country's developing democracy and installing a dictator who had no scruples about the lengths he would go to, to protect his own power, we (unintentionally I'm sure) forced the marriage of political dissent with fundamentalist Islamic beliefs, by elevating exiled religious leaders such as the Ayatollah to the position of spokesmen for anti-Shah politics. That is a lot to "let go" of. Even so, we can provide a great example. Just look at how we let go of that whole Bay of Pigs fiasco. Or maybe not. Considering the history, and the rhetoric coming from the mouths of politicians who are determined to oppose anything and everything coming from the Obama administration regardless of the long-term damage they do along the way, what incentive do the Iranian leaders have to trust us? Yet, they have agreed to measures that Americans would never agree to. A large segment of the Iranian population would like to see normalized relations with the rest of the world. Most (or all) of the anti-American rhetoric is coming from the generation that personally suffered under the Shah, suffering they correctly blame the US for, but these people are elderly now and in 15 years, when the nuclear agreement ends, they will be gone from the stage. Speaking of "letting go", it's long past time the US let go of the Iranian hostage crisis, ideally acknowledge that there was good reason for the leaders of the Iranian Revolution to direct their anger to Americans (though Americans rarely ever admit any fault, and American politicians never do), and start to try to allow Iran to become what it was in 1953 before we screwed them up royally: a normal country with a democratic government and a vested interest in peaceful interactions with the rest of the world. Don Not surprised this post got completely ignored. Well said.

IMO an excellent post. And this is why, for the about the last 10 yrs, I have been an advocate for a non-police person as the top dog in any LEO outfit. The FBI is usually headed up by a non-career FBI person. This is the first start to changing the culture. Jerry Baumchen That's correct. And the military takes orders from a civilian leadership for some very good reasons as well. Yes though the "defence" industry tends to be rather well represented in that civilian leadership.

Yes, but I think their Canadian cousins offer-up stiff competition. In October 2014, they elected Rob Ford - Yes, This Rob Ford - the drug- and booze-addled national laughingstock - to the Toronto City Council by a majority of 58.9% of the vote. Are Canadian voters really that lazy and stupid? Well, apparently... Yes. But... that's just one view from down here. The US presidency is indeed starting to be about as significant as a Toronto councillor. Or even as much as mayor of Toronto, Canada's largest city, with a residential population of 2.6 million. In August 2014, 1 month prior to withdrawing from the mayoral reelection campaign for medical (not political) reasons, Mayor Ford was polling just 3 points into second place, putting him in a statistical dead heat with the leader. Thanks for the trivia on Toronto, I had no idea.

In skydiving we often say that you can do everything right and still die. Those who continue to skydive accept that risk and generally try to continue to do everything right. The same is true in policing, you can do everything right and still die. What we appear to be seeing is an increase in cops doing things wrong, since they are scared of doing it right and dying anyways. (or at least with video becoming so much more common, an increase in cops getting caught)

Face it.... your culture does not understand a need for guns... you live in a different world where you have always been indoctrinated by those in power( who have stayed in power for centuries by having an unarmed populace). Your criminals rely on that knowledge of an unarmed populace.. yes you do have violent crime.... and those who wish to kill someone find other less efficient means.... both in Europe and in Canada. The nanny states you have created tell you how safe you are all the time but are you really??? What have you given up to be so "safe" I have given up significant percentage points in the chance of getting shot in a mass shooting. Other than that, I have not given up a single freedom with not having a right to carry a gun at almost all times.

He cares. Let's say he has been claiming he is worth $10 billion and his financials come out and he is worth "only" $5 billion or less. Is he a liar, or is he an incredibly bad business man who lost 50% of his wealth in the last couple of months?

Meh, I live in Toronto, that's what highways look like for pretty much 18 hours a day. Specially now with the PanAm games.

He will withdraw before he has to submit his financial disclosure. Trump is in this for attention, that's all. The first time he had a grand socialist health care for all plan, now he is on the tea-party side of the spectrum. The fact he is polling well provides some laughter for those outside of the US.

So you made a statement and then in the same post included an article that had nothing to do with that statement? Interesting. http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/02/should-idiots-be-allowed-regulate-internet

yes, I do Doesn't surprise me.

You are free to say what you want, you free to carry a gun, you just aren't free to love who you want. Interesting stance many conservatives seem to have on freedom.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/04/01/chicago-murders-shootings/70787110/ So the gun restrictions were eliminated (2011) and concealed carry allowed (2014), and now there's a surge in shootings. What a surprise. If your going to make statements like this back it up with data Professor. Just how many of those shootings were buy LEGAL gun owners? How many by people with CCP's? You know TRUTH and FACTS those sticky little problems you have such a hard time with. And lastly since I am betting ALL of these shutting's were done by criminals making every gun they had illegal what Law do you think can be passed to make criminals obey the law? I will never in all of my days understand how a learned man such as yourself can be so oblivious to the obvious. Why aren't you asking the OP for this? The OP comes on and blames all these shootings on gun control. Kallend retorts with actually regulations are less tough now, yet shootings went up. Multiple people demand proof and data from Kallend. Might just be a slight bias showing?
