They shouldn't have been raiding the home in the first place.

Monsanto is a plague on this planet.

I think you're absolutely missing the point of the comparison. If you think gay people haven't been radically mistreated in our society, even beat to death for the way they were born (not unlike lynchings), then you haven't been paying attention. The reason they "aren't poor", etc, is due to...

according to who, the media? it's an issue of physical attraction, not a political stance. however, the christian right has made a big deal out of treating them like 5th class citizens going straight to hell, so yea, I'm sure a lot of the politically ambivalent among them lean left by...

Bullying often isn't a public affair. If you're not close to a victim, you might not even see it. It also is important to take into account that actions are cumulative. Let's say you call someone a 'dork'. No big deal, right? It's just a name, get over it. But what if that kid goes through...

Well, yea. No child of mine will go through the public school system. But that doesn't change that many kids are the subject of severe bullying at public schools.

based on my experience in school, i'd say it's more like 4/5 if you include everyone over the 12 years of public schooling. some of it brutal, some of it not -- everything from endless taunting to physical abuse. it's great that you went to a school where stuff like this apparently wasn't...

from an article: "The case featured an alignment of justices that scrambled the usual ideological alliances. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas, Stephen G. Breyer and Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined the majority opinion, while Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor...

now, first off, i opt out every single time and would never go through any of these devices. however -- they will never turn down a reason to get rid of extremely expensive machines and buy new extremely expensive machines. we fund the surveillance industry.

will wonders never cease?

Rather misleading, don't you think? I mean, bombs have been around a long time, but defending nuking a country because 'it's just a bomb' is... well, misleading. GMO food crops affect everyone due to the natural spread of seeds.

i hate Monsanto. That is all.

this country is breaking my heart.

Well, you're not talking to me but... you're obviously unaware of what a personal attack is, then. A personal attack is a direct attack on an individual. If you disparage a collective group (ie, teachers) you are not making a personal attack on every single teacher in existence. In fact, it...
