It should not make one bit of difference whether they charge you 3%, 30%, or 300%. If you aren't paying off the FULL BALANCE every month then you are mis-using your credit card. Force yourself to pay off the full balance every month (or pay in cash only) and you will find yourself wasting...

No, no, no - we DO need a 3rd and a 4th party. In view of the fact that the Republican Party has abandoned most every tenant of Conservatism, I would suggest that REAL conservatives do the following (depending on your inclination): 1. If you support tax cuts and forcing women to have...

The time has not come yet for a 'global' government but it will happen at some point. (Unless, of course, we destroy ourselves through nuclear and/or environmental self-destruction). However, it will NOT be the result of GOVERNMENTS signing away sovereignty, it will be in response to...

That is because the MAJORITY of us are quite satisfied with the current state of affairs. Stores are stocked with anything I've ever needed or even wanted, I feel safe to walk or drive wherever I need or care to go, I make a living from home with a few hours of work a day, and I can expect to...

The President IS making a decision regarding that quagmire: we ain't sending in 40,000 MORE troops. We already have 68,000 troops there, the definition of 'winning' has NEVER been defined and, whatever definition we come up with, is NOT achievable. Bet on that and join the chorus to exit from...

Ahhhh; another reason to get the hell out of there.

LOL.

Didn't mean to sound so rude in my last post but, once again, I have to call 'bullshit'. Do the other nations that I mentioned feel the need for imperialism to keep 'trade' flowing? Are any of them any less dependent on imports (or exports) than we are? And besides, why do we feel the...

That is complete and total BULLSHIT !!! Foreign bases in Japan or anywhere else are NOT 'essential' to our national security. The US accounts for over 52% of the world's total military spending. In addition to this outrageous statistic is the fact that at least 7 of the next largest military...

Scat has me on 'Ignore' but, FINALLY, we are in complete agreement with each other.

You're right, Bernard. I did let the thread drift into a soapbox and I'm sorry about that. I was asked some direct questions and answered them as I saw fit. The main reason for the thread was to hear the opinions of other people and get 'links' to some of THEIR favorite...

"Theism" might TRY to be about 'moral conduct' but they FAIL because their edicts are so vague that they can, and do, invite any and every interpretation that each believer wants. That is why a Muslim can justify suicide bombings and a Christian can justify murdering doctors that perform...

That is correct. Each atheist chooses his own moral code of conduct. (Of course, every theist also chooses their own moral code of conduct by his choice of interpretation of the traditional code that he embraces.) The range of conduct in each of the two groups is the same: you can find evil...

Good call, jjj. I have to admit that when you posted the trade I was very surprised at the reward/loss ratio and agianst the trend no less. Really good call.

Although this is not true, I want you 'guys' to keep shouting this very often, very loudly, and in the exact same crude manner that you have done since before he even took office. I want you keep shouting this as the economy recovers, as we withdraw from the war, as health care reform starts...

An atheist is a person that does not believe that the universe was created by a conscious being. An extension of that is the belief that a conscious being does not guide or affect our lives for better or for worse. Generally, an atheist does not believe that we existed before we were...

Are you saying that Obama isn't trying to make changes !?!?! Try: 1. Reforming health care system; certainly the single biggest issue to tackle since EVERYBODY is affected by health care. 2. Exiting Iraq in a timely and successful manner. 3. Actually thinking about and weighing the...

Humanism is NOT incompatible with atheism. Athiest do not believe we are god. Some Humanist as atheist but not all. Some atheists are Humanist but not all. A belief in god is not required to have morals. Some of us are good just for goodness's sake. The Social Contract ya know.

Fox viewers are stupid because it is easier to 'feel' than it is to 'think'. This man Beck is such a putz but I do have to admire his ability to make a whole lot of money preying on feeble minds. Sure out-earns the 387 'preachers' in my town who have put out 'church shingles' on any type of...

Actually; it does work. It works in every industrialized nation on the planet except the USA. When has 'government' (which is you and me, btw), ever 'failed or done something to lose your trust !?!? Why in the world would you trust your health care to corporatations who interest lies in...
