Any thoughts on what this will mean for Vancouver or any city that hosts 1 of these sites?

House GOP Bans County Health Clinics From Providing Birth Control

Presumably, this type of law will be used far more often against the poor and working class than the aristocracy.

The USA is increasingly limiting things like access to birth control, and abortion. Again, the ruling class can afford to send their children to another country for such procedures - or buy things like birth control without any problem.

I pointed out in another thread about the college program where a drug conviction can cost you a student loan. Not only do the rich need these loans less, they can often afford the best legal protection to ensure the conviction is overturned.

It's the same with drug treatment programs, where American kids are being sent to Canada, in Quebec, for private treatment - off the record. As oposed to a poor person, who has no access to any such program as freely - and it IS on the record, and can affect the rest of a person's life.

The list goes on and on, and reduces this concept of an equal playing field to what it really is .... a myth.

I am wondering who on here can honestly, truly say they have experienced love - other than the type we all think about when we think of marriage.

He paid insurance every single year since that time, and when Katrina struck - they gave him about 1,000 dollars total.

Any flooding was caused by the breach of the levees by the hurricane, and without the hurricane there would have been no flood. Even at that, the slimeballs in the insurance industry refused countless people the protection they had paid for.

Start giving "poor" people land in disenfranchised areas, construct affordable homes, and then make sure that people are allowed to own them themselves.

When you check out a woman, do you notice if she isn't alone? Like....say if she's with her parents...do you notice, or care?

Not that I totally disagree with that, but I still will not accept that for whatever reason someone finds themself in a life and death situation ( as NO's citizens certainly did AFTER the storm hit ) there is no time for blame then - only action.

What was eventually done could have been done the second the winds died down. The delay, which was totally a federally caused one, meant people died that did not have to.

No matter what you say, that cannot ever be denied.

I think you Americans did that same thing to Aristide, Castro, Chavez, Khomeini, Hussein, Abe Lincoln.. Didn't ya? Look in the mirror, pal. America was doing it long before anyone else was. LMAO[/quote[

What in the world are you blathering on about now? Your communication skills leave much to be desired. We haven't defended any of those people for killing people who didn't agree with them (quite the opposite really, and Lincoln doesn't even belong in that group), and we didn't kill any of them for failing to agree with us. Sheesh, most of them are still alive. Khomeini died of old age and Lincoln was murdered by a nut. So your above statement makes no sense. Not that that is unusual for you.




You mean you can't? How about France? Germany is about as bad, and so is Spain. Great Britain is headed that way too.




What exactly are you smoking? The opinions of people in Europe are irrelevant and The UN has not declared the war illegal.




They may have long histories, but they are pretty sordid histories. And we have tried hard to learn from them, so we don't become like them. If you'd like to compare sordid US history against the sordid history of any European nation you'd care to name, I'd be happy to, because I have no doubt we'd come out smelling like a rose by comparison. Try applying your wonderful historical perspective to those you are defending. By the way, I don't need to be lectured on how young my nation is by someone from a nation a whole hellofa lot younger than mine.




Like I said above, their opinions are irrelevant. They really don't matter in any meaningful way. I don't care if they don't like us. I don't even care if they hate us. They may have been around for thousands of years, but all they managed to achieve in all that time was to become irrelevant and dysfunctional bit players in the world economy of the 21st century. By the way, if everybody hates us so bad, why are they all beating down the doors to try to get in and become Americans? Why does half of Canada come to Florida to ride out the winter every year? Maybe it's just you and a few other loons out on the far left lunatic fringe, and not everybody. Did you ever think of that?

As for your fishing analogy, well, I hope MY hook in your mouth doesn't hurt too much.

American's like you are the reason for 9/11. Harsh words...

Maybe you should look up fascism and you'll see modern America defined.

every US and Brit soldier in Iraq that ever fired a shot should be gassed as war criminals.

I didn't write article. I just posted it.

Why is my head in the sand and not yours?

The last time poverty in the US went down was the last year Bill Clinton was in power

I love laughing at America.

President George W. Bush made a point last week of using `Islamofacists’ when recently speaking of Hezbullah and Hamas – both, by the way, democratically elected parties.

The neocons screaming fascist the loudest, are the true fascists themselves.

Is it physical features or something else entirely?

Obviously, if you're no longer with that (oh so perfect) person, we can assume that you really weren't all that compatible, right?

So, please to 'splain. Why do we let failed relationships be the 'bar-setter' for future ones?

So we all have a "perfect" relationship book to recommend. (as do I)

Yet we're all out here in the pond.

Interesting. VERY interesting.

Other than just telling him

That being said, my question for the atheists in the audience would be do you care if other people share your opinion on the subject of religion? Do you actively try to enlighten others to your point of view and ever get frustrated with the sheer idiocy and repetion of arguments against you with holes so large you could sail an oil tanker through them?

I tend to believe that humanity will not be better off until we eliminate the foolish belief in a higher power and start working together as one people, so I would say I do try to 'enlighten' others of my opinions.

I do know in a sense this is hypocritical, since religion does much the same thing, but then again it is not this part of religion which I stand against.

I know about him needing to get back on treatment (for depression)
