Please correct my math then. · 0 minutes ago

Sure.  Glad to.  Out of every 100 Americans, 5 never had premarital sex (so they claim).  37 out of 100 say they believe premarital sex is morally wrong.  (You have to ignore the ones who had premarital sex without believing it is wrong.  They are not hypocrites.  They are consistent.)

But 32 out of the 37 are hypocrites.  They think premarital sex is wrong, but they did it anyway.  That's why it is 5 out of 37 who are honest, and 32 out of 37 who are hypocrites.  5 out of 37 is not 33%. · 5 hours ago

They're not hypocrites if they regret it.

Larry3435: 

For the 40% who believe that giving birth outside of marriage is morally unacceptable, is the morally acceptable alternative to giving birth (a) shotgun weddings or (b) abortions? · 8 minutes ago

The best options are (a) not to get pregnant to begin with, there are ways to avoid that you know, and (b) adoption. · 5 hours ago

i think a better question is purposely getting pregnant out of wedlock.

DocJay: Kylez, I'm very frustrated with the lack of Politicians and Media demanding "I want to know what he knew when he knew it and I want it under oath". To the point of this thread, sort of, our president targets Christian groups and and whitewashes Islam to the detriment and limbs of our citizens. Fascinating. · 14 hours ago

the same week Dr. Tiller was killed, there was a murder-by-muslim in America. guess which one there is a recent film about.

tabula rasa: 

For a supposedly rational people, it's baffling why 60% of Americans consider it morally OK to have a child out of wedlock.

I think that question was phrased badly.  Having a child out of wedlock does not necessarily mean a child raised by a single parent, and many of the respondents may have assumed the question referred to unmarried parents who nonetheless remain in a committed relationship throughout the lives of their children.

So perhaps not all is lost? · 2 hours ago

I suppose some may have reached that conclusion, but by far the greatest source of single-parent families is women bearing illegitimate children.

I hope all is not lost, but that 60 percent number was 45 percent a little over a decade ago.  This is not a positive trend. · 3 minutes ago

and at the time of your birth i'll bet the number was close to zero. 

however, i can't help but wonder if that question is shaped by the abortion option, with people resigning themselves to it being better than that. plus people want to be seen as forgiving of unmarried pregnancy.

Devereaux: ?Obtuse. You equate Copts, who are asking, not forequality of Christianity to islaam in Egypt but merely to be left ALIVE, with Turks in Germany, who are not being killed or even persecuted but merely being asked to integrate better with their host nation. No one is demanding they even give up their religion, just conform to society better.

Yet this is exactly the kind of problem that any nation gets for allowing any muslims in their midst. Islaam should be quarantined to where it currently lives and not allowed out among civilized people. If you look about the world, there are about 180 wars going on, and most are muslims against SOMEONE. · 4 hours ago

ever notice how people always say we should get out of their nations, but nobody ever says they should also get out of ours?

DocJay: No. Both religions have common characteristics but one is based on an extremely wonderful man and the other an evil child rapist. · 4 hours ago

you've been "speaking truth to power" especially boldly lately, I'm enjoying it. 

kylez

The stated aim of the Conference is to promote Muslim integration into German society. The attitude of the Muslims is that this approach is misguided, and has to be changed by Germany.

Your statement above says everything that is wrong with the current situation, why western nations were foolish to allow mass immigration from Muslim countries, and why it needs to be stopped.

Grendel: How could I forget?

The same old guy who loved Clinton was outraged at Mitch McConnell's remark that the GOP's goal should be to make BHO a one-term president.

"That's treason" he fumed.  "Did you ever hear such a thing about the president (pbuh)!  People ought to go to jail for things like that!"

I'm going to ask him if he's pleased with the IRS's anti-treason program, or does he think it didn't go far enough. · 6 minutes ago

truly boggles the mind, doesn't it? so in 2004 John Kerry wasn't trying to make Bush a one-term president?

Umbra Fractus: Overplayed: Anything by The Ramones, The White Stripes, The Rolling Stones, Slayer, Tool, Pearl Jam... There's no shortage of "classic" bands that I just don't get.

Underplayed: Anything by Duran Duran made after 1982, Dream Theater, King Crimson, and sorry, Flownover, but Roky Erickson is the [COC violation] man! · 4 hours ago

Here you go. · 1 hour ago

Klein's very last sentence basically makes my point about the future, though is not what he intends. He just couldn't resist bringing up global warming. That's what he thinks future Americans living in a leftist dominated welfare-based economy are going to care about??!!

The issue was/is that the republicans refuse to stand for anything. Are they for smaller government? If so why do they propose to grow it? If they are for fiscal responsibility why do they repeatedly raise the debt ceiling, we bring in enough for government to function? They are for law and order, but propose amnesty for illegals? 

It seems what they are often standing for is the hopeless and self-defeating pursuit of acceptance by the media.

Stephen Hall: Twenty years from now, the received wisdom is likely to be that the Obama White House was America's second Camelot. That the country will be poorer in 2033 (and possibly under a 'heartless' GOP administration vainly trying to save the country from final collapse by embracing a too-late austerity) will only serve to intensify the impression. [sigh] · 5 hours ago

exactly. prepare for a life of politely disabusing younger people about Obama every chance you get.

you can also imagine a flurry of historians who were born about right now doing the same thing in 40 years. 

the scariest thing is the possibility of a series of Obama's till then.

DocJay: Our nation and the world is at stake right now.   Not from nukes or biological terrorism, but from future history books.  

So you're threatened by something that does not even exist? I know it has been said that conservatives fear the future, but this is ridiculous... · 2 hours ago

we only fear the future run by the left. i have often said the same thing, that it doesn't matter what Obama does or even if the economy never gets better, he will be portrayed in rosy terms in the vast majority of textbooks. FDR and the New Deal is the perfect example for this.

Retail Lawyer: "I know chimpy McHitlerBurton (Bush) will declare marshal law and stay in office.  I am 100% sure".  This came from my boss!  #71

After BHO was nominated in 2008, two acquaintances stood together and  assured everyone around that he would certainly be shot by white racists.  Certainly. · 2 hours ago

it is stupid and offensive when the charge is meant to be an indictment of whites/middle-Americans/southerners or conservatives in general, but it is at least reasonable to think that some Aryan Nation type thugs might attempt to do so.
