You aren't seriously suggesting being kind will work with these jerks.
Ignorning the concern of whether someone with BPD should parent, what about adoption? There are *millions* of children who need parents out there. Try taking care of one of them before replicating yourself. In any event, the world is going to hell and it isn't really right to bring a new child into it merely for your own satisfaction.
Making globalization work for the poor is like making slavery work for the slaves. The whole point of globalization is to allow the rich to make even more wealth. *If* the middle class and poor can get some crumbs, great. If not, who cares. It was never about us in the first place, except as a way to break the institutions we had put in place to get a piece of the pie.
I am reminded of efforts by white unions to keep black workers out for the same reasons that some "liberals" use against immigration reform: to keep unions strong and wages high. This was also used by white workers against the Chinese in the 19th Century.
It's sad and dispirating to see that rather than pitting whites against Blacks, they are now trying to pit Blacks against Hispanics.
There already are Islamicist bombs. Perhaps you may have heard of a country called Pakistan?
There are plenty of resources for the walking dead. Check local universities. Ask local hospitals for public aid programs. Call professionals and see if you can work something out. A former girlfriend of mine did the latter several times. Most metnal workers are willing to help poor vicitims of mental disease.
You can come back to life.
"I know lots of people like this woman. They talk ecology and revolution while living the most luxurious lives imaginable. It's all self indulgent nonsense.
-- Fenella"
Yes, because everyone who wants to change the world and make it a better place needs to live like a monk ministering to the 3rd world poor. LOL!
"While there is no danger that America will become a fascist, totalitarian or theocratic state, every step we take in that direction is a degradation and a danger."
One of my college professors told me they thought the same thing about the Nazis, even up to four years after they had taken control.
There is *always* the danger that a democracy can fall into dictatorship. Perhap only duing the Great Depression was the threat greater than it is today, but the threat today is real, and it is growing.
I fear greatly for America.
Uhm, how do we know this? It seems rather unlikely, but I will admit to not having studied them recently.
The other thing to note is that Neanderthals were human. They were a different branch of humanity, but they were every bit as human as our ancestors.
Uhm, what if it's his Mom's stash? My wife likes to look at man on man porn, and she's not the only woman I know he does.
While I think a lot of music is simply vile in its depiction of women, I doubt that it's the music that causes people to have sex and be sexist. Rather more likely I think that it's people who are sexist and are more likely to have sex at a younger age who are attracted to that kind of music.
Your facts are incorrect when you state that it has never been used against people who weren't government employees. The Act originated in order to silence critics of WWI. It was used then to put anti-war activists in prison. It just hasn't been used in this way for a very long time.
Most conspiracy theorists are right-wingers. It's only their anti-government ravings that make them seem like lefties. The *vast* majority of leftists believe that a massive government f*ck-up allowed the attacks to happen undetected, for a number of reasons. No left paper or journal I've read will even touch the 9/11 conspiracies, except to note what they say about American society.
9/11 conspiracy theorists remind me a lot of creationists. Since the theory of evolution cannot explain every mechanism 100%, it must be 100% false and God created everything 6,000 years ago. Since the 9/11 Commission can't explain everything satisfactorially to everyone, it must be a cover-up and government agents or Joos! (or Jooish government agents!) brought down the towers.
As for the Attorny General not indicting bin Laden, that's typical of the AG, holding back charges of those whom they indict. You don't go after a criminal for everything at once. If, by chance, you lose, you want charges in reserve to get another swing at bat. If bin Laden is ever caught alive, he will face charges for 9/11 . . . after he's been tried for the African embassy bombings.
I've seen your so-called evidence, and not a whit of it stands up to examination. Hell, you conspiracy theorists can't even agree with each other. The only thing I fault the 9/11 Commission for is not detailing enough how far up the chain of command the SNAFU went.
If you're going to post "evidence" supporting your "theory," please use something not so easily refuted.

The "Liberul" Media consistently blows off criticism from the left, even from the barely-left that passes for an opposition in this country. Are there consequences for such things? You can look up a list of their sponsors and let them know that you intend to cease using their products as long as they advertise on ABC. Begin efforts to have ABC and its affiliates licenses pulled. It probably won't happen, but it will at the very least annoy them, and perhaps put the fear of God into them. File complaints with the FEC. Do SOMETHING!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
