I won't engage in blanket attacks on the Catholic Church. Some, not all, priests abused boys, and I will never engage in witch hunts that paint everyone with the same brush. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Most priests are good guys. But now all are under a microscope of suspicion and thought guilty first. Now it's okay to do a Kavanaugh on all these guys?

I do think the current Pope is way too leftist and there are plenty of Catholics who are very unhappy with him.

Some of you are willing to let the government tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body but are not willing to let the government tell you what to do with your body ala chipping.

Just out of curiosity, WHAT kind of black person do you WANT to be????

And more important question for everyone would be:  "what kind of person do you want to be?"

Some women are always complaining about the pay gap and how there's not actually equal rights. So if men have to sign up, why not women?

I'm not saying I'm in favor of this, but it is equal.

Here is the best bike I've ever owned, and still own with about 82,000 miles on her...

As delivered in 1999:



After some light cosmetic enhancements:



A more major mod, details published in the BMW MOA magazine:



And, more recently, camping at an Airhead rally near Boone, NC:



About 17 years old now, but still feels solid, planted and swoopy fast - "all of one piece", as it were. Been all over the continental US and Canada.

As an aside, I think this was close to the best BMW ever. None of their current line appeals to me, mainly due to many, many reported reliability concerns. Too bad.

Please.  He's an embarrassment to our nation.  The fact that so many people are backing him is embarrassing. 

As for "He speaks for us little people.", that's laughable.  He'd exploit anyone for a dime.  And crush anyone he could if they disagreed with him.

similar to another thread.... substitute "hillary" for "trump" and we'd have the same  situation....

Spin Zone / Re: Tuition Free College........
« on: February 07, 2016, 02:35:20 PM »
The problem I have with "free college" for every one (outside of the fact that it isn't free), is that it would be an extension of our current public school system.  And I have little respect for the state of public education today.  I see kids graduating from public high school today that wouldn't be able to pass 7th grade a few decades ago.

Education is one of those things that if you don't have to "earn" it, you won't take it seriously.  For way too many, it would just be a way of avoiding work for an extra 4 years.

If we were to have "free college", I would want to see it be competitive.  If you don't make the grade, you get booted out.  Also, if we were to go that route, I would like to see it include trade school too.  Not everyone wants, needs, deserves or can handle college.  In fact, I think that should apply to public high school too.

At the end of the day, Rachel represents the difference between progressives and everyone else.
Progressives believe belief is the final arbiter.
In the progressive world,
If you want t be black, then pretend to be black and everyone is required to believe it.
If you want to be a girl, just say you want to be a girl, and everyone is required to pretend you don't have a penis.
If you want to be president, just pretend you were born in Hawaii, and dare anyone to deny it.
