What is the deal with all the venomous disbelief and hatred toward the scientifically viable idea that global climate change is happening, and that people have helped make it worse?

If you don't believe it, whatever, but why do you hate it so much that people believe what science shows?

you know... science also figured out how to create cell-phones and computers... science is not evil.

some people like to call him "the worst president of all time" so it should be relatively east to pick out JUST five speicific things that made him such a pitiful failure...

There is no reason to think that Medicare and Social Security are in dire straights.

they're both very old programs which (as all programs do) need some minor adjustments.

the idea that they're going bankrupt is just a lie. And if you disagree, can you please cite specific information, and not talking points?

I have a Dell Inspiron e1505. Windows Vista.

1. Comptuer SAYS my battery is 100% charged.

2. Battery SAYS battery is full

3. Computer ONLY powers on / Stays on when pluged into AC Adapter/Charger

4. If charger comes unplugged the laptop turns off totally and instantly.

5. Computer will run if the battery is disconnected, and computer is plugged in.

6. when computer is plugged in, and battery is in, the Charging light flashes

7. i never see the charging Icon on computer, because both battery and laptop think the battery is 100% charged.

...lifetime earnings which are not directly made possible by several tax funded programs and systems (ie, highways and streets, police, fire, schools, Air traffic control (if you have to fly), laws, water, electricity, the military, food safety...etc)

Point being... how much of the money you think the goverment is 'taking away' is actually attributable to the fact that the government has created the very environment which makes it possible for you to make any money at all, or stay alive long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labor?

You are a customer of the government we've created, you purchase these things... if you don't want them, go off the grid, hunt for your food, die of typhoid fever...

what makes them "elitiest"...anything specific? or do you just like accusing being elitists, even though you can't really explain your opinion?

I hear this a lot, and i read it a lot on here, but... it always seems tongue-in-cheek... Do you honestly think he was born in Kenya?...honestly? you're mostly just joking, right?

My daugther was just born 2 days go. The Tigers beat the Indians. i'm searching for any websites that have balls for sale used in specific games so i can buy one for her from the day she was born.

First: I think Obama will end up helping this nation out of its financial mess, I have confidence in him, but ONE thing bugs me:

when my fellow liberals say he "inherited" this mess...

he didn't INHERIT anything. He WANTED this mess, he begged for it, he RAN for the right to be in control of it.

Even though BUSH created the mess, President Obama begged for the right to become responsible for it. I say it's time to start holding him responsible. What do you think?

I forgot to listen to right wing extremist radio today...did Rush bring this up today and tell everyone to get outraged about it?

I've read the Yahoo and the CNN article about it... it's NOT going to happen. The Senate pretty much laughed it off.

SO why, all of a sudden, are the Cons flipping out about it?

I see many people on YA saying that Obama/dems/liberals are actively "dismantling"/"destroying" the constitution..

What are some specific issues you have with the way these people are governing, and which specific parts of the constitution are in danger because of the issues you're concerned about, please. Not general platitudes...specifics.

(example: I was thrown in jail because I protested. That is a violation of my constitutional right to free speech)

please, be specific with your examples.

"Now that obama is giving away healthcare should I quit my job?"

"now that obama is going to help people to catch up on their mortgage payments, should I just default?"

"now that obama is getting rid of our nukes..."

"now that obama is passing emmissions regulations..."

"now that obama is repealing don't ask don't tell..."

"now that obama is ending the Iraq war..."

"now that obama is closing down guantanimo bay"

(on and on)

you guys are starting to really give people and idea of how much Obama is accomplishing. Thank you!

A Love Sick Poet Considers Tomorrow, Today and Whether An Exploding Cake Gives Any Indication As To Why His Girlfriend Left Him

O, Tomorrow

how today you seemed today

love was all around like a cake after an exploding cake party

but lo, these many dark days

when silence is all I can eat

frosting is the only frosting

even though I know you never meant to kill me

can I be sure you never meant to make me an ingredient?

one part cake

one part firecrackers

one part me

O, Today

How yesterday you seemed today

Cake was all around like hope at an exploding hope party

were you trying to tell me something?

and you never flinched once

even though cake and hope and love were most likely burning your eyes

it must have hurt a little

all that cake in your eyes

did it?

Mary Beth

you make one hell of a double fudge cake

Girl

you make one hell of a broken heart

O, Last week how a week and a half ago you seemed today

sorrow was all around like frosting at an exploding cake party

you are the worst thing that’s ever happened to me

you and that exploding cake

I still wonder what that meant

Did it hold some meaning?

but broken hearts are all around

shattered dreams are all around

there is no cake

there is no love

O, Yesterday

how last year you seemed today when I was the only one in attendance

at this all night broken heart shattered dream no love no cake my exploding soul party

Catholics, how do you justify using natural family planning? (the practice of scheduling sex on days when the woman is supposedly infertile, and avoiding fertile days.)

You purposefully waste sperm on days you hope the woman's not fertile? Isn't the desire to waste sperm, and acting in a way that increases the chances of wasted sperm the exact same thing as wasting sperm using a condom?

Yet you are forbidden to use condoms.

The Stephen King Series Dark Tower:

please let me know your ranking between from 1-7 of these books.

Please don't give spoilers, just your rankings and other non-spoiler comments. I am only on "Wizard and Glass" so i have 3 more to read.

Just curious.

for example: of what i've read so far i'd rank them:

1. Gunslinger

2. Waste Lands

3. Drawing of the Three

4. Wizard and glass

Since Sarah Palin Hates Socialism and redistribution of wealth so much, why doesn't she speak out against the Alaska Permanant Fund, a system which distributes a portion of the Oil Companies revenues to the citizens of Alaska?

If she dared to speak out against it, is there a chance she'd get re-elected as Governor?

In 4 years i will pass fair judgement on Obama.

I voted for him. I am very happy that he won.

But if he's a bad president, in four years i will admit i was wrong.

In 4 years, if Obama does a good job, and we are better off, will you Obama-haters give him credit? Will you go a step further and re-elect him if he's doing well?

They constantly promise you that they'll ban abortion...

however:

for a great majority of the Bush administration republicans controlled at once:

the white house

the senate

the house of reps

and as is still the case 7 of the 9 supreme court justices were appointed by republicans...

why didn't they deliver their promise to you?

is it because as long as they PROMISE they will, you'll keep voting for them, but if they ever did, you'd realize there's no other good reason for you to vote for them?

if you hate the two major choices so much why don't you understand that there are other candidates you can vote for? have you even tried to learn anything about this election? don't you think you should?

Palin: ...But I also want to clarify, if there's any kind of suggestion at all from my answer that I would be anything but tolerant of adults in America choosing their partners, choosing relationships that they deem best for themselves, you know, I am tolerant and I have a very diverse family and group of friends and even within that group you would see some who may not agree with me on this issue, some very dear friends who don't agree with me on this issue.

But in that tolerance also, no one would ever propose, not in a McCain-Palin administration, to do anything to prohibit, say, visitations in a hospital or contracts being signed, negotiated between parties....

Biden: I'm glad to hear the governor, I take her at her word, obviously, that she think there should be no civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that's the case, we really don't have a difference.

MODERATOR: Governor Palin, Is that what your said?

PALIN: Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.

does it sound like she accidentally told america that she thinks that, constitutionally, she and McCain think that homosexual couples should have the exact same rights as married couples?

That's what it sounds like to me...

what do you think?
