I guess the
assumption that 18 is the legal age of consent like California was incorrect on my point.
Hadn't even thought that a few states have 14, 15 and 16 as a consenting age.
Bizzare.
Yes, it is rape.
But it's ok if you're a republican.
Enjoy. eom
Thanks for the
life lesson, I think.
Vote for whom
you wish. I'm not tying to change minds. Just hoping to read through and find good discourse minus the crap.
The rumors started on blogs were absolutely vicious and despicable.
Dems and Reps can be cruel alike.
No...your
grammar should be a TOS.
You obviously didn't
graduate.
Sure...he
has none. Next?
Does his lack justify this case? NO
Quite the
ignorant comment.
I had expected better. NOT!
It reflects on her upbringing.
A daughter that
was raised by her and her husband and obviously not taught very well on sex or the ramifications, protection, education and respect for the written word.
Mommy claims to be raised a catholic and is now a christian? Not very good values. Religion only works sometimes, you can twist it all you want.
So soldiers aren't against this war?

More than 400 Veterans For Peace protesters followed a flag draped casket through St. Paul's streets Sunday where they were met by Ramsey County deputies. Nine people were arrested; two ticketed.

You'll find some
justification on anything to the right won't you.
Of course I wasn't a virgin but I took precautions. What does that have to do with her pregnancy?
First your the party of doing things correctly, with high morals and values. Now you justify an ignorant and uneducated act.
Sheesh! Make up your minds.
Some of the
sex education that Palin is against might have helped. LOL
The party of
morality and values. LOL
Ouch!!! Palins (17) year old daughter is 5-month's pregnant.
Mommy is quite the role model.
Are you
nuts. His visit wasn't directed only to those who said they would vote for him.
Check your facts before posting.
My daughter made the choice to volunteer, you're absolutely correct. For once.
I'm proud of her and I support her 100 percent. That doesn't change the sentiment of our soldiers.
Really, what
soldiers do you speak with?
My daughter is the only female airman at FOB Loyalty in Iraq. She works with the Army's 82nd airborne.
I speak with her daily and talk to others that email me in her support.
If you really knew how the soldiers felt in Iraq you wouldn't make that comment.
Your economic statement is baseless....has nothing to do with dem congress. An educated person could figure that one out on their own.
This chick is a whacko!
But it's not just abortion policy that has Democrats up in arms over Palin. In that same 2006 questionnaire, the soon-to-be governor said she would fund abstinence-only education programs in schools. "The explicit sex-ed programs," she added, "will not find my support." The stance, which reflected the priorities of the GOP, nevertheless led to an incredulous editorial in the Juneau Empire.
"Abstinence may be a laudable goal, but failing to educate teenagers about how to protect themselves from disease or unintended pregnancy is tragically misguided. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, abstinence-only programs do not reduce sexual activity, teen pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease. Every day 10,000 U.S. teens contract a sexually transmitted disease, 2,400 get pregnant and 55 contract HIV. Unintended pregnancies happen to Republicans, Democrats and people of all faiths."
While Palin's positions have drawn the ire and concern of the pro-choice and progressive community, they are largely -- save abortions in the case of rape -- in line with John McCain's own stances. The Senator is against federal funding of birth control and sex education. He has called for the overturning of Roe v. Wade and received a zero rating from NARAL. Once, aboard the Straight Talk Express, McCain was asked if he supported the use of contraception or President Bush's abstinence-only education program to stem the spreading of AIDS.
"After a long pause, he said, 'I think I support the president's policy.' Does he believe that contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV? After another long pause, he replied, "You've stumped me."

but he sure hit the nail on the head as far as the rest of it goes
What nail, exactly are you talking about?
Shouldn't our leader be articulate? Or at least have the ability to read off a telepromptor without screwing it up, everytime.
I think you may be
confused once again. Over the last eight years we've been dumbed down by our leaders mastery of the language. My children have laughed at his speeches.
LOL...nice twist.
Ask him to
provide a complete and correctly structured sentence. Republican ebonics can be difficult for educated people to follow.
I don't
judge a state by color, red or blue. I like to think of us as a country, as one.
I scream bloody murder when our leader acts like a fool during one of the greatest natural disasters of our time. In fact, he was told days prior how wicked Katrina would be but he chose to vacation on the ranch instead.
Now he's reacting....how wonderful of him.
I am really done with you.
I've answered everything
you've presented worth commenting on.
I don't reply to severe ignorance.
Florida hurricanes aren't the topic....the reaction to Gustav vs. Katrina is. Day and Night.
You abviously can't grasp this so I'll leave it alone for now.
I pity you. Best of luck.
You should
calm down and relax. Caps don't make the point of an ignorant remark.
National issue...
not local. If it were in the dolt's state of Texas he would have been there, with the National guard, Red Cross & Fema ready and willing to act. Quickly.
People are
safe, now.
Thanks to the lesson learned by your dolt of a leader.
We are prepared for these types of crisis, some people desire they've vacation on a ranch over protecting their citizens.
LOL. You're kidding, right?
'The most important thing is that people be safe.'
What about Katrina?
NOW, wingers are acting appropriately. I guess a lesson learned, eh?
Finally this admininstration acts correctly....just ashame that it took so long.
Golf clap.
Actually a fan of
neither but regardless of that.......O'Reilly isn't known for his intelligent fact finding prowess.
Yea O'Reilly
is known for his investigative journalism. LMAO
This is the greatest flip-flop any election has seen 9 weeks prior to a Presidential election.
McCain claimed "experience" for 20 months.....now it's government is broken and we're about change. LOL
Sheesh! Make up your mind old man.
Fathers and son's working together...
Cherish those moments.
You may want to put a little effort in finding the truth before spreading false info.....
No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 21st birthday.
The Rocky Mountain News did in fact run an online article asserting that Barack Obama holds both American and Kenyan citizenship. The article was incorrect, and the paper removed the item from the article and ran a correction. The paper's editor, John Temple, formally apologized for the error in an Aug. 15, 2007, column. Neither the correction nor the apology has prevented the column from circulating across the Internet as part of the latest set of baseless rumors that Obama is ineligible to run for president.
There was a grain of truth to what the Rocky Mountain News reported, though understanding why requires a brief history lesson.
When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children:
British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.
Obama's British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom. Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:
1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963...
2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya, Obama's father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qualified for citizen of the UKC status at birth and given that Obama's father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), it follows that Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963. So The Rocky Mountain News was at least partially correct.
But the paper failed to note that the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya's Constitution specifies that at age 21, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.
Week 1....NEP
Thanks,
Joe
Baseball & Basketball we're decent.
Football, not so good. Although our hopes and dreams are always at the highest of levels coming into September. Reality sets in soon thereafter for Wildcat fans.
Hope you had a great vacation, welcome back.
Best,
Joe
Well, it's finally
here. Seven months waiting and college football arrives once again.
Best of luck to everyone's Alma Mater or just favorite teams.
I'm an Arizona Wildcat, so there won't be much excitment for me.....just hoping for 6-7 wins.
Joe
The choices this year are probably the worst I've seen in my lifetime.
If so, Bush/Kerry runs a close second.
Extraordinary speech.
The man has it.
Ode to golf:
In my hand I hold a ball.... white and dimpled, rather small....
Oh , how bland it does appear....this harmless looking little sphere...
By its size I could not guess.... the awesome strength it does
possess...
But since I fell beneath it's spell.... I've wandered through the
fires of hell..
My life has not been quite the same.... Since I chose to play this
stupid game....
It rules my mind for hours on end... A fortune it has made me spend....
It has made me swear and yell and cry.... I hate myself and want to
die....
It promises a thing called par.... If I can hit straight and far...
To master such a tiny ball.... should not be very hard at all .
But my desires the ball refuses.... and does exactly like it
chooses....
It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies.... and even disappears before
my eyes....
Often it will take a whim... to hit a tree or take a swim....
With miles of grass on which to land... it finds a tiny patch of
sand...
Then has me offering up my soul.... if only it would find the hole....
It's made me whimper like a pup.... and swear that I will give it up...
And take a drink to ease my sorrow....
but the ball knows.... I'll be back tomorrow!!!
