Can You Catch the Controversial Photoshop in This Voter Fraud Mailer?

April 24, 2013 at 4:58pm

My assumption is that it was done so they wouldn’t be accused of somehow implying that anyone other white people might be guilty of voter fraud. Sad as it is, any other group would take it as racism, or whatever-phobia. I have done some work with stock photos for small business marketing, and I know that we’ve edited in the other direction so as not to offend anyone. You don’t want to be accused of marketing only to whites, just as you don’t want to be accused of somehow implying that black people could even think of committing voter fraud. I would also guess that whoever made this decision is now afraid to admit to it for the same reasons. Face it, there would have been more backlash had they not edited it.
Three People Taken in for Questioning in New Bedford, Mass. as Part of Boston Bombing Investigation

April 19, 2013 at 9:18pm

Did they have videos of them walking with backpacks in a sea of people walking with backpacks? I mean, that just screams guilty if anything does. My daughter went to school this morning, and I can’t believe DHS weren’t there. All of those backpacks! They sure this time? Did their “anonymous” law enforcement source confirm it for real? All of this has certainly helped save me money, as I can’t take anymore TV and am canceling my cable service on Monday. They made that decision really easy on us.
Could This Be Why Some Chechens Think Tsarnaev Brothers Were Framed for Bombings?

April 19, 2013 at 9:13pm

I have no idea what to believe, and I doubt we will ever be told the truth by the people we are all paying to lie to us. I remember teachers in school talking about the terrible governments of North Korea and other countries. They would emphasize just how unfortunate the people of the countries were because their government and state run media lied to them, and they had no way of knowing the truth. We are now just like them. I’m not a detective, but none of the 400 or so official versions of this make any sense. Something stinks here. I have friend who came here from Russia to get away from this kind of crap. He doesn’t believe these guys are guilty as charged. I’m inclined to agree with him at this point.
(UPDATED) Illinois Town Being Evacuated After Levee Breach

Don’t forget Christians, might want to throw The Video in just for fun. I live on the river in the path of Mt. Rainier. I’m insured and all, but we have also accepted that we can’t prevent floods and eruptions, and we’re at peace with that. We’re also prepared. I pray these people are as well.
It’s Not Every Day a State Trooper Gets Fired for This

April 2, 2013 at 2:39am

I think firing was a bit extreme. I am impressed that the legislator didn’t want preferential treatment. What our country needs is a lot more who share his view. I’ve been let go with a warning for doing 17 over, and I don’t believe it was special treatment of any kind. I’ve watched my speedometer closely ever since. I think counseling and reminding the trooper of proper procedure is all that was needed.
Woman Gives Birth to Healthy ‘Miracle Baby’ After Failed Abortion Attempt

April 2, 2013 at 12:45am

What are the damages? The “pain and suffering” were from giving birth to a healthy baby and not dying due to complications? Or was the supposed suffering from what sounds like conditions that are the standard in the industry? I can’t imagine anything other than pure greed and an attitude of being owed motivating them. Lawsuits are public record. They can try to justify this all they want, the fact remains that their daughter will find out that they sued for the pain and suffering caused by her not being slaughtered in the womb. I could have sued the state of Washington for not supervising the sex offender that raped and impregnated me. My parents tried to talk me into it. When I explained to them that I never wanted my daughter to believe that her life resulted in enough misery that I felt the need to sue someone, they agreed completely. Sounds like they need money and have been watching too many SVU reruns. These people need help and prayers, not money from pain and suffering caused by their daughter existing.
Elite Eight Basketball Player Snaps Leg in Game — See Pictures of the Pain, Teammates’ Emotion

Only someone completely incapable of feeling pain would be able to handle an injury like this without showing obvious distress. Maybe we should be praying for the young man, not insulting him. My son suffered what seems like a very similar injury a little over a year ago. He just finished rehab last month after multiple surgeries. It has been a long year for him. We will be praying for Kevin.
NY’s Common Core-Aligned Lessons Use Scientology Videos to Teach Students They Have Right to Food, Housing, Clothing, Medicine, Even a Job

March 31, 2013 at 4:24pm

I only made it 3/4 of the way through that first video. I couldn’t take it. I’m glad that I have control over what my children are taught, as their educators rely only on private funding. Aside from the obvious multitude of problems with the entire cirriculum, what about the origins of the videos? I think that pigs would fly over a very thick sheet of ice in hell before any public school in our country used videos produced by the LDS church, or any other. The kids can’t talk about the Easter Bunny, but they’re forced to watched videos produced by the Church of Christian Scientology? Clearly we have reached a point where logic and reason mean nothing. 20 years ago, this would have been an issue, regardless of what letter was next to the name of the man in our highest office.
When Will Family Come First?

March 26, 2013 at 10:09pm

In reply to TooManycats.

That last sentence was supposed to be they come first. I know it isn’t popular, and I’m often viewed as being lazy because I’m “only” a mom. Those other women know full well that working is the easy way out. Another important, yet not at all surprising tidbit, many well respected doctors have found that an infant’s failure to bond with their mother is a very common factor in psychopathy. The first 3 years are the most important. You can’t make up for it later. My children have values and morals, and the only “complaint” I might have on any given day about my 16 year old daughter is that she is hard to get out of bed in the morning. I know I’m doing something right, even if it means that I don’t get lots of “me” time. I figure I’ll have plenty of that when they’re grown.
When Will Family Come First?

March 26, 2013 at 9:50pm

Children may do ok without their mothers, but who would settle for their child just leading an ok life? As a parent, I want my kids to have great lives. I realize that in reality, they will never be perfect, but I want what is best for them, not me. Where are all of the comments on this one?

I will speak my part since it appears no other women felt it was worth their time. I didn’t plan on becoming a mother. I wanted a career in medicine, possibly design. I was always somewhat afraid of little kids, at the very least I was uncomfortable around them. At 17 I found myself pregnant, and it was not by choice. There was no way I was going to about, and adoption just wouldn’t work. I didn’t have to worry about pressing charges, as someone else best me to it. I had no help from her father, who was in prison on 2 counts of child rape. I refused to apply for welfare. I got my diploma, and my parents helped far more than most would. I tried working, but I couldn’t stand having someone else raise my baby. I felt guilty. I realized after my daughter was born that I did indeed want children, and have since married and had 3 more. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to find employment sometimes. It is a vacation. I had to work full time for 2 years in an attempt to save our business. It had a profound effect on the kids. I’m not willing to sacrifice a chance at a great life for them just to obtain more material goods or have fun with friends, it’s not worth it. They come
