it's that time of year again: girl scout cookies!.

sales are down 20% because of the economy, but my purchases are going strong -- six boxes.

i'm sharing them with my co-workers, though.. i'm partial to the thin mints and the samoas.. do you like them?

being the girl scout leader I am....
we get sixty cents for every box.
And let me tell you it is a huge pain in the butt to do cookie sales.

Since you on the right won't answer this question. Abortion

i posed this question on another thread... namely burns and hooberus...wouldn't answer, so i thought i'd ask it again in an open thread..., .

you on the right disagree with roe v wade... so that means that you want to redefine when a zygote, embryo, or a fetus has what anyone would rule for lack of better words "the right to life"... .

exactly when is life, human as per your definition?
BlackSwan of Memphis

Not on the right.
I had the opportunity to speak with a number of women who have taken the abortion option.
Most, if not all of them, never believed in a million years they would be doing this.
Nearly every single one chose this due to failed contraception.
Nearly every single one were in stable relationships, often married.
Most had given this option prayerful consideration and truly believed in God and believed that this choice was between them and God alone.
I would love to hear what people who are pro life would do with a mother of 3 who has chosen abortion.
Would they throw her in prison with hard core criminals for life?
Why?
Were they in the bedroom or dark night when the life was conceived?
NO
I tend to think that the pro lifers out there think that all the women out there who make a decision such as this are just sluts who get knocked up and don't give a damn about the life inside them. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Never voted, never will, I don't even want to carry a small part of the blame when a leader I voted for goes to war and kills innocent civilians sorry guys :(
Or you could........vote for the green party. In our case here in the states that would mean voting for Ralph Nader. But hey, it's a Protest vote
:)
Keep in mind that some politicans actually are against this war :)
Either way, no need to apologize.

Yes. Heh heh heh I was bad. I voted before I was technically "out".
I had not attended in several months and by then the family was questioning me, I was writing my da letter.
It was raining and I walked up to the nearby school with a hood over my hair and was so stinking happy to do something FOR my country.
