• Thanks, Aspire :) So – i know this is completely inappropriate to post this here, but i just had to share with my politico friends that i just got back from the market with 18 bunches of kale and am about to try to make kale chips for the first time…

• i was wrong about the debate topics – this friday’s presidential debate is scheduled to be on foreign policy – the third debate is on domestic issues, including the economy. So, why not just switch the order of the debates? it’s not as if these men …

• Now the McCain camp is insisting on cancelling the VP debate and rescheduling it at some later time. Uh…yeah. Obama camp is saying no on all – saying that the debates are more important than ever. McCain – a man who a couple of days ago said that ou…

• Kevlar – have you been following Ron Paul’s take on the crisis? He is against the bail out entirely. Says prices need to be lowered – which will hurt some businesses but will more naturally correct the current inflated market. He wants less regulati…

• McCain just announced that he wants to suspend his campaign – if Obama will as well – until the economic crisis is lessened. He wants to start by cancelling Friday’s debate. I hate being such a cynic, but I feel he wants this suspension because Obam…

• You’re seeking ‘rational responses’ to your arguments yet you are compelled to reply without reading Meditating’s ‘whole essay.’

• Applause, Meditating.

• i think you are being terribly disingenuous. as i wrote above, i do not believe that you are seeking honest debate and i further feel that many of your posts are purposefully antagonistic and intolerate of differing views. i get the feeling that you…

• TomsMom is 100% regarding the oversimplified answers of ‘take a morning after pill if you’re raped,’ and ‘just carry the baby and drop it off at the hospital when it’s born.’ i don’t find her hostile – i find her frustrated, as many are at this disc…

• RawK, I am with you. I want to just scream. I don’t like McCain, but I understand why some people do and why they support him. But there is no reason to support Palin beyond ‘She’s real Christian and so am I. And she seems more Christian than that o…

• Wow, honeywater. Thank you for that extremely illuminating post. I respect that you use facts and rational argument while refusing to repeat things which – though they bolster your point – are possibly not true (firing librarian, exact titles). I ha…

• Greenghost – ignore him. There is no rational debate to be had here – just insults and a unhealthy belief that his opinion is the only correct opinion on every single issue.

• I love it, Rawleen. Here is another good one: This is Your Nation on White Privilege By Tim Wise 15/09/08 “ZSpace”—- For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples o…

• Many apologies, Greenghost – you are correct and we have hijacked your thread. I promise to stop posting off-topic here.

• I know how abortion works. In my ninth grade biology class, my teacher decided to explain abortion in very graphic terms – including stories of the fetus being ripped apart limb by limb. She was very careful to collect all of the hand-outs after cla…

• I have been under the impression that a morning after pill works after conception – so it is still the termination of a pregnancy. if this is true, your argument is deeply flawed. if it is not true and the pill somehow works before conception (which…

• I hate the thought of anyone being aborted. But I hate worse the thought of a woman being a slave to sexual reproduction. It’s not a simple subject. I think that it is completely immoral to use abortion as your birth control – to do it again and aga…

• Yes, that is entirely accurate. I am pro-abortion. I think all pregnancies should be terminated. It has nothing to do with believing in a woman’s right to make her own choices and decide what to do with her body. Rather, it is entirely about my hatr…

• LOL Omshanti – I hope to be a little wine-soaked myself soon enough, as soon as I can get out of the office. Have fun with your animals! ;)

• Kevlar, I’m afraid we’re just going to have to disagree on this. As long as your hatred of our government doesn’t go so far as committing crimes that could hurt anyone, I am not bothered by your beliefs. I’ve heard the theories and think they’re mis…

• Omshanti – so happy to hear that your mom stayed home that day. that’s something to be thankful for until the end of time. i’m upset, though, that you shattered my image of palin wearing a beauty pageant sash made entirely of animal pelt while hangi…

• For pete’s sake, wake up yourself. Is that what it took to convince you that the government – some mysterious people behind the curtain – somehow set up demolitions all throughout the WTC and brought the buildings down on purpose? While filled with …

• are female rape victims at fault for not being able to keep their legs shut? i don’t care if you were joking, jaymz – your comment is simply disgusting and as ill-informed as your government conspiracy paranoia regarding 9/11. I was living in NYC on…

• Thanks, Greenghost and TomsMom – I feel the same about your posts. I don’t think there is a single way to defend this woman except for “I am a Christian with fundamentalist Christian beliefs, and I like her because she shares those same beliefs.” An…
