the old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.
intact- is viagra for the guys.
funny how the far right evangelical owners of hobby lobby didn't want to touch that one.... read judge ginburg's scathing counter argument and opinion.. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-354_olp1.pdf.
Shana,
You lost all of your credibility with your closing 'argument.' We live in a constitutional democracy - a public/private partnership if you will. Governments can and should provide the appropriate amount of regulation. I'm not Solomon and won't play like I always know what that perfect amount is. Viviane has provided two salient examples; there are many. You may want to retract/restate. You are entitled to your opinon, just as you are entitled to be wrong.
two copies of this invitation were pinned to the corkboard at the post office this morning: a world government, why do we need one, is it possible, who is qualified to rule?.
i know this invitation hand-out has been discussed but i missed this part - that wt obviously is saying they are qualified to rule the world.
i can't take it.
Thanks OneEYedJoe
They had desks set up in the hotels to passively advertise the IC. I noted that they didn't approach anyone. There was also a teachers' convention there, so I was surrounded by teachers and preachers for several days. The teachers were much more fun.

I was in Atlanta over the weekend and the Dubs are indeed everywhere. Someone enlighten me: I've been out 2 decades; the dubs were there Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Are ICs different than regular district conventions these days? I would thought they would leave on Sunday night rather than show up. Surely they aren't meeting the entire week. Just shoot me.

Billy, funny stuff. I volunteered Viv for the task!! Strange that I haven't heard from her. And yes, it appears the NTs have it!! The Borg can't deal with us. NTs are Rationals, and sooner or later we will wake up and leave the hive and the collective for good!!!
to me af's.
see below for more on af.
"prominent" (lol!
If you feed the trolls on Monday, there is likelihood the trolls will return on Tuesday. If you feel the trolls on Tuesday, there is a good likelihood they will return on Wednesday. If you feed the trolls on Wednesday, do you know where they are going to be on Thursday?
But Ann, you rock. Wicked Smart and Wicked Funny! I'm in love.

Met,
"I see the end of US hegemony as very positive."
I agree. The US and the West in general can serve as a deterrent, but the US and the rest of the planet will likely be better served if the over-bearing hegemonious behavior ends completely.
i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.
i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.
she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.
LisaRose,
Your cat didn't really love you; she was faking it. If she really loved you she would have brought an un-eaten rabbit/mole/vole/etc. to your doorstep and dropped it. That's love.
so as i have told everyone here, i am well along in my fade, and know ttatt.
i have even been pursued by the elders and interrogated re my "seemingly loss of spirituality and activity etc..." even though i am still an ms.. but cop this!...
i have been asked to join in the exclusive literature cart witnessing activity!
Stuck,
You don't smell a rat. You smell a pack of rats. Good luck.
for years, as i've read through the bible, i've wondered why bible writers were concerned about physical beauty (see references below)?
i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?
looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).
Magnum, Ditto. The Nerds are taking over in the 21st Century; evolution rocks!!!
"In harmony with that, just judging from personal observation, I believe that inferiority in humans as indicated by lack of symmetry is in areas of physical prowess - areas that would have been perhaps more desirable in man's earlier history. I think that in man's later history, "brain" traits became progressively more important, and I haven't seen evidence that lack of symmetry is indicative of mental inferiority."
Another area of interest concerning beauty and symmetry, the one thing, according to those who study such, that causes males to choose a female, over other traits, is waist to hip ratio (symmetry), not facial symmetry. We males probably don't even realize it, but there is a fomula/ratio that drives us crazy. Not surprising, it is also the ratio which has the highest fertility rate and other features that would enable a female to be a good mate (birthing babies). Almost every culture considers that beautiful as well. Sir Mix-a-Lot wasn't just talking about backsides, as a little known lyric in "Baby Got Back" talks about the itty bitty waist. Without that, you just got a lot of junk in the trunk.
I do not like big butts and I cannot lie, but if she has the right waist to hip ratio - and I've had enough to drink - me and the Mix are brothers.
