Bristol Palin: Children do better with mom, dad

Lover's remorse, it's like buyer's remorse, except you're left with a permenant reminder of a temporary feeling.

California may ban gay teen 'conversion' therapy

@fishin4u: I could give a crawdads arse what people choose to do in their own homes, however they need to stop rallying in the street, trying to promote their "life style". Nobody cares about your life style.

Do you feel the same way about the Tea Party? Prayer groups? Pro-life groups?

@Carolyn: Propaganda - precisely my point. Surely you've read my posts before. My political affiliation parallels yours.

So you want to avoid assisting Israel's push to intervene in Iran?
Better catch up with Fox News, just this morning they were saying Obama's support of Israel is the worst of any president and that he wasn't getting tough enough, nor sounding serious enough about Iran.
Also, define looser for me, I forget what that means.

I do not understand the story rating system on here - stories about awful things get positive ratings, stories about good things get negative ratings ...

GOP FACT CHECK: Errant debate claims on auto bailout, taxes

[quote][b]Used2baFreeCountry[/b] - Wouldn't it be nice if the mainstream media would fact check the White House?
For example, when the White House Press Secretary said the other day that Obama did not really turn down the Keystone XL pipeline?

GOP FACT CHECK: Errant debate claims on auto bailout, taxes

[quote][b]ter1647[/b] - I totally agree, the Liberal media including the BH jump on every claim made by the GOP candidates while totally ignoring the lies Obama and his minions spout everyday about what he is doing to this country. They think they have us all fooled but won't they be surprised when Nov turns out like the 2010 election! A GOP landslide Bye Bye B.O.

@Used2baFreeCountry: The non-mainstream media article you posted supports the idea that Obama really did not turn down the Keystone XL pipeline.

White teen girls post racist video about blacks, high school ramps up security

@Naildriver: To answer your question, no. I do not advocate the use of violence. Instead, these girls and girls like them would benefit from getting to know the people they put down. Unfortunately for these girls, this will be very difficult because of their choice to say what they said.

Santorum says global warming is politics, not science

To sum up Santorum: written accounts of people from disparate lands observed about the environment can't be true, but written accounts of what people from disparate lands observed about Jesus have to be true.

Obama takes tougher stance on higher education

Why not change the HOPE scholarship from a we-pay-you-first service to a we-pay-you-after-you-finish service?
Teachers and nurses receives this kind of opportunity.

Laptop-shooting dad's rant draws raves, reprimands

So, to sum up the video:
daughter feels hurt by parents and, unable to actually talk with her parents about it, she vents about it on facebook
(something that can be undone)
dad reads daughter's writing and he feels hurt by her "disrespectful" words
to exact revenge:
dad shames daughter for expressing her feelings
dad shames daughter for feeling hurt
dad destroys daughter's laptop
dad destroys daughter's social image
dad destroys all trust with daughter
dad destroys relationship with daughter
(something that can not be undone)

Gingrich: Negative ads have lowered voter turnout

Negative attack ads have lowered voter turnout - because they have exposed the many harsh truths these GOP contenders have been trying to hide ... albeit, in a subjective manner.

Laptop-shooting dad's rant draws raves, reprimands

None of the individuals discussed are effective communicators.
Daughter has normal teenage issues, worsened by dad's issues.
Dad should not be surprised when daughter ends up in bad relationships.
I hope these people, and those like them, find adaptive ways of working through problems. Most often, people choose to take the easy way out.

Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.

Report: Ga. charter schools trail others on standards

Yet, "House Democrats scramble to build support for charter school amendment". http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2012-02-16/house-republicans-scramble...
From the article, "House Education Committee Chairman Brooks Coleman, a Democrat from Duluth, who is also sponsoring the amendment. “I really think when people see the legislation, it will have much better support than it was before.”

Conservative Georgians should be outraged!
Note: in the above text, I have replaced the cited individuals' labels of republican with a italicized label of democrat not to confuse, but to point out errors of judgement based on party lines.

Since public schools are a scam and money spent on public education is waste of money for Georgians, the conservative Georgian should embrace the idea that charter schools are an even bigger joke. Call your lawmakers now! Voice your conservative outrage against charter schools!

    Why doesn't the ATM want my card?

    Summary:  Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it.   Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it. The last few times I visited the ATM, I put my card in the slot and the ATM immediatley gave me the card back.  I was a little alarmed at first and tried to put the card back in but the screen prompted me to input my PIN number instead. I was able to complete my transaction but it threw me out of my comfort zone. read more
