• Transgender wife gets 4 years in man's death

  • Legally, Christina will be incarcerated in a woman's prison. I agree, she needs help coping with her mental distress. The stess of dealing with addiction combined with the stress of transgender issues and trying to fit in would lead to a debilitating combination.

• More Americans say they have no religion

  Sun Mar 8, 2009
  • There truly is no such thing as a rational and intellectually based discussion on this board, is there? Statistically religion is declining in the United States. This is a mathematical reality, not a reason for "religious conservatives" and "liberal athiests" to wage a mock holy war.

• Cartoon seems to link Obama to dead chimp

  • What is wrong with 90% of you? How can anyone who has the slightest inkling about the history of this nation, or it's use of racial slurs see this cartoon as anything but racist.

• States ponder early release for some prisoners

  Sat Jan 10, 2009
  • The same thing is happening here in Michigan. Prisoners in jail for petty crimes are launching protests to keep themselves locked up. Some of our counties are so poor now that the turn around rate for those released ending up back in jail is days or a week.

• Cops: Dad angry over child support kills son

  Sat Jan 3, 2009
  • I believe the same argument was used against Martin Luther King as well, he was merely inciting the flames of racial hatred under the guise of religion as well. You think racism doesn't exist in this country? Then read the posts that have been written in this thread.

  • Idiot? hmm well thats one debate method. I'm well aware that trade-offs happen, however i'm also aware that the manipulation of the foodstamps system as well as the welfare system in general has decreased in the past years. Poverty isn't an all or nothing problem and it shouldn't be treated as such.

  • Yep poverty is the result of laziness. You guys are brilliant, you should be teaching at Princeton or maybe Harvard. I'd love to hear your logic pattern for that. Beyond that...you can't use foodstamps for crack. There given out on a debit card that can only be used at stores.

  • I'm of the opinion that this law should be enacted around the country. If a parent is fed up with raising their child enough to contemplate abadoning said child, then that home is no longer a safe place, for the parents or the children.

• Obama vice presidential choice likely this week

  Mon Aug 18, 2008
  • I'm fairly curious how many of you have heard of the term "civilized debate". Because, from reading these posts above I really have seen very little aside from disparaging falsehoods, insulting comments, baseless insinuations, and quite frankly blatant idiocy.

• More gay men embrace marriage, fatherhood

  Sun Aug 10, 2008
  • Reta I have a second cousin being raised by a homosexual family and believe me she is far better off.
