Answer to:
What will you never forgive your ex for? I've forgiven him for everything. Grudges, especially against the dead, do no good. It's not smart or healthy to harbor a grudge.

I haven't been to jail but I have interviewed clients in city and county lock ups. You likely will be stripped, cavity searched (yes it's what it sounds like), de-liced, showered and given some badly fitting clothes.

Funny, when I read your question I remembered hearing someone saying, "No brains, no pains" I think we all have to "choose our battles" Being well informed and choosing to empower oneself and to act isn't sad. Being obsessed with information while not acting...that is sad.

Do "Stand your ground" laws allow you to pursue a burglar blocks from your home and kill them? Should they? No two cases are the same, that said, this case of a black man shooting a white teen in FL has some similarities to the Martin/Zimmerman case.

Answer to:
Do "Stand your ground" laws allow you to pursue a burglar blocks from your home and kill them? Should they? Here is an interesting comment on this case. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a supporter of the “Stand Your Ground” law, but yesterday admitted that he did not know why an arrest was not made in the case and further, that the broad-spanning law did not seem to cover the ass of George Zimmerman. Speaking at an education panel at a Texas university, Bush said: “This law does not apply to...

What would you do if The Supremes voted 9-0 to keep the healthcare law exactly as it ? Celebrate or riot? Why? I'd be surprised mostly...few SCOTUS decisions are unanimous and when one is I always find it remarkable.

The Roberts court ignored a hundred years of precedent in it's decision to hand elections to the ultra wealthy in United...there's no telling what they will do next.

Rubio is a good choice for Romney in terms of electability because he will bring some votes from Florida but he has a few skeletons in his closet that could hurt him. Ron Paul has been treating Romney very well lately in the debates and even running anti-Santorum ads here in Michigan. I wasn't the least bit surprised to hear Paul say he would be "honored" to be Romney's Veep.

Why are MY tax dollars going to fund a bunch of hippie artists when I can't even find a job?

Can you just put a little bench in your bathroom that you can put things on, like your underwear you took off or some clothing? Of course you can! I have a small four drawer stand in my bathroom that I keep underwear in along with some personal products. There's a few small hooks on the side where I can hang things. Then on the inside of the door I have a large hook that I can hang an outfit on. It's very handy to be able to partially or fully dress in the bathroom on chilly winter mornings.

I always thought chocolate was highly over-rated. I do like good dark chocolate with port or dark beer and occasionally I buy a Reese's candy bar or some chocolate truffles.

Answer to:
Do you really want Mormon Romney? He said 1st Faith 2nd family 3rd Country.That is a Mormon slogan.Will Washington be run through SLC,Utah? This sounds a lot like the criticism that lead Kennedy to say he was first the president and second a Catholic. People who use their religion to get themselves elected are all whores in my mind. I'd rather vote for an atheist who can honestly take an oath to uphold and protect The Constitution than a religious whore of any stripe. Let's revisit that pesky document for just a moment. The...

Answer to:
Are you glad Michele Bachmann is dropping out of the presidential race? Mrs. Bachmann withdrew but it's my bet she hopes to be on the GOP's short list for the vice-presidency. I hope the eventual candidate bypasses her but should the nominee be Romney, Bachmann would generate some far right religious nutso votes. To the OP: Are you afraid of women? Why would a woman president or vice president be so awful?

Answer to:
If voting were public who would dare go against the party? Private ballots mean folks can vote their conscience. Do you? I think we all would like to say that we'd vote the same, whether our vote was public or private, I think it does matter to most of us and that our votes should be private.

A Romney win over Santorum in Iowa by only 8 votes!! Is that really a win for Romney? We shall see...this is just the start of the process in Iowa. Delegates are not required to vote, at the convention, for the candidate that won yesterday or in fact for anyone. The delegates could do anything come June!

Obama makes another recess appointment. This guy just likes sidestepping Congress, huh? Thank you KDP for pointing out that Shrub made 171 recess appointments.

Answer to:
Has seeing this Republican nomination process made you more impressed by Republicans in general? Or less? Less...it's a dog and pony show at best. Seriously, is this the best and brightest of the GOP? Funny, that FOX is running a piece suggesting a conspiracy to make GOP candidates "look bad" instead of demanding better from the candidates themselves. The current crop of GOP hopefuls is a national embarrassment.

Should it be illegal to stereotype people according to outdated gender roles? Illegal? Just how do you propose to punish people for their thoughts? You cannot legislate morality. People don't stop trying but honestly...it doesn't work. Outlawing something doesn't make it magically disappear. Sometimes, in fact, it makes it flourish and incentives the activity. Remember prohibition? If you don't want people to embrace gender stereotypes I think the best thing you can...

What kind of parent allows their finicky kid to eat fast food rather than the food offered at the family holiday gathering? I cannot stand picky eaters. Nor can I stand overly indulged children. Parents who allow that sort of behavior and who cater to their children's every whim do them no favors. However, if the children aren't yours...you have to stay quiet unless you are asked your opinion by the parent. The rule at my house was this; there will be no fighting at the table. We cooked a pretty wide variety of...

Do you find it weird for a guy to wear a house robe and slippers? I do. It looks feminine I think a man in a robe and slippers is sexy. I love spending long Sunday mornings in bed reading the paper, having some breakfast, boinking and watching football. If we are making trips to the kitchen or out to the hot tub slippers and a robe keep us warm on winter days. In the summer they aren't needed.

Rick Santorum is the GOP golden child today..whom will it be tomorrow? Any bets who takes the prize in Iowa? I am not sure it really matters who comes out on top today. The caucuses are just the first step in the Iowa process. Today is really more of a beauty contest. Delegates are not awarded bases on today's results. Besides, Iowa has a pretty poor record of picking winners. I think the eventual GOP nominee will be Romney but time will tell. We have a few more dog and pony shows to endure before...

Theists take their kids to church to learn about and believe in God; where do atheists take their kids to learn that there is no God? I cannot prove it to you but most atheists I know came from families of believers. Most if not all atheists I know respect their children's rights to pursue their own religious beliefs. I find most theists are a good deal less respectful of their children's right to choose. Some so much so they impose their religious choices on their children, going so far as to kill them by denying medical...

Uh-oh! Huntsman is in a lotta trouble. He said Iowa picks corn and New Hampshire picks presidents. Think anyone in Iowa will vote for him? I like Huntsman, he is the sanest of the current crop of republican hopefuls (which will stop him from getting the nomination) and he is always entertaining. Who knows what Iowa will do. The poll numbers out of Iowa look like roller coaster tracks.

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to hold the early caucuses in states that reflect the ethnic balance of America? Iowa? Why Iowa? Perhaps, but where would that be? There are a ton of problems with primaries and caucuses as we have clearly seen over the years. Look at the hack job Bush/Rove did on McCain in SC. When other states have attempted to get in early it's caused huge problems at the party level; look at the brouhaha over MI's attempt at an early primary in the last cycle. Tradition and let's face it, big...

I think sexual attraction is in large part hardwired in our brains. Of course there are emotional and psychological...
