Man Haunted by Image of a Newborn Inside a Garbage Bag He Was Handed Outside of Va. Hospital (But There’s a Happy Ending)

@ 3rd I think that I sort of understand what you are trying to say (maybe not) lets see…….you seem to imply that until a baby, fetus, child, is born (by born, I mean takes its first God given breath of life and at that point the soul enters the baby… and it is that first God given breath of life/soul entrance that you call consciousness) until then it is non existent in and of itself. In the womb it is essentially soul-less until the God given breath of life/soul enters the baby once it is “born”. This is why you state the woman never HAD a grandchild, because it never experienced the God given breath of life/soul entrance. The baby was alive and growing in the womb, but not yet complete. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Not everyone thinks this way, but I do. I also think the soul leaves the body with the last breath and the corpse is but a shell. I understand that others have a radically different opinion and I do not seek to change their mind or alter their belief. Do I believe it is honorable to protect the baby, fetus, child to enable it to obtain the God given breath of life/soul entrance? Yes, I do. Do I mourn with those whose children do not live? Yes, because those parents wanted the child and we cannot question God’s reasons for not giving the breath of life to those babies. Some like to quote the “knew you before you were in the womb” passage, but I believe this is misunderstood by many. I leave it to them to figure it out.
The History of an ‘Evil’ Weed: Marijuana’s Cultivation From America’s Founding to Today

Drug testing does nothing for workers, only employers. As a worker, I’d much rather work with a reeking stoner than worry about someone that “has gone off their meds”. With pot, you smell it and can look someone in the eye and know. Legal drugs, you gotta put up with a lot of crazy crap, if they go off their drugs….and frankly, when that happens, I really wish they could go outside and smoke a big fat one. But it’s all well and good if its a legal drug, right? Can’t really complain if your co workers are NOT on their meds right? It’s a privacy issue. My point is drugs can be a force for good or bad. Either way, people use them. There are plenty of people abusing legal drugs and somehow people think that is at least ,somehow, I don’t know…respectable, maybe? Like, when Rush Limbaugh admitted his addiction, it wasn’t like he admitted to an “illegal” drug, so that was somehow, more forgivable. For me it is a behavior issue, not an issue of legality. I have had too many problems with legal drug abusers. Drug testing is only for illegal drugs….yes, those mandatory drug tests keep the workplace safe. Ever had a boss off his Thorazine? Drug testing to get and keep a job, but no drug test for welfare recipients. Who is the genius that thought of that one? Drug tests…everything will be fine, just threaten them with a drug test….and if you don’t like your worker, tell them they failed it and make their life hell. Drug tests, yes that is the answer!!!!

AP Fact Check: Here Are Obama & Romney’s Biggest Missteps & Mistruths During Last Night’s Debate

October 4, 2012 at 12:06pm

I view debates like job interviews. The candidates are asking us to vote for them (hire them).When the unemployed go to a job interview, they do not get a list of subjects that will be discussed prior to the interview. Why do the men asking to be employed as our next President get such courtesies? People that work at jobs with absolutely no authority or decision making requirements are required to pass screening processes put in place by law makers themselves. Perhaps the candidates (all politicians) should fill out some online “employment tests”, preferably through Taleo. We want all their personal data, including college transcripts and maybe access to their Facebook account. We want to check your credit, we want to know where your cash is stashed. You must submit yourself to drug screening and we can test you at anytime during the course of your term. And if your references say anything that could be construed as negative, well forget it. Start the process all over. We will require them to sign on their application that employment is specifically “at will”. After they fill out the required information, we, the people, will make our decision on election day. This is not a popularity contest, this is the Presidency. Don’t call us,don’t broadcast your negative commercials, we don’t care what the media says about you, we will let you know if you have been hired or not and you will have to wait until election day to find out the status of your application.
On Zinger Scorecard, Romney Wins Debate By a Mile

October 4, 2012 at 12:11am

In reply to Samwise636.

Soybomb…I was shocked they agreed on so many things too.The debate just had an “odd” or “off” feel to it…..a little too scripted and formal. I liked the split screen format. Obama hung his head every time he was called out on his failures…promising to reduce the deficit by half, Solyndra, etc. I’ve never heard him say “um” so many times or grasp for words like he did tonight. I think Romney won this debate, but for some reason I don’t think it will help his campaign that much. All said…it was a lot of hype and no real substance. Dull very dull.

Can’t the state of Pennsylvania get some of that purple finger ink for the people that have no ID? Seems to work in Iraq.
