Gay Marriage and God
I see the point you are trying to make. However outlawing gay marriage is also against the 1st amendment, when the only defense behind it is "GOD is against it. It was not a point I was trying to make, I was just pointing out that you added the word "Holy." You can have matrimony with out a...- Sliver

Gay Marriage and God
You realize that you added a key word there. Many things have assumed religious meanings that are not meant to be. I suppose rights is the wrong term, privileges would be more appropriate. Same sex couples are not allowed to medical decisions for their loved ones. Same sex couples are not...- Sliver

Gay Marriage and God
I think the problem with the "gay marriage" debate is that the religious zealots assume that GLBT persons want to be married in a church. However, most just want the same legal (granted by government, not by a god or deity) rights. This is not a Christian nation, we have no national religion...- Sliver

Frustrated Residents: Raccoons Slowly Taking Over New York City
I'm sure the city also wants to educate children, and help the homeless and jobless. The problem is money, if there is no public funds for public schools there probably aren't any public funds for pest control on private property. As a home/property owner you have the responsibility to maintain... -

Republicans have secret plans to make Wisconsin a right-to-work (for less) state
Charitable institution like churches are great, except many churches are no longer getting contributions like they used to. I personally am not a religious person. Churches would not be able to hold the financial burden to help people if there was not a public assistance. I've been in his... -

Republicans have secret plans to make Wisconsin a right-to-work (for less) state
Tell me this, if we are in a global recession and so many countries are in debt. Where has all the money gone? If 1% of the population has 95% of the money, how is this good for the economy? The economy works by some one working to earn income, they use their income to purchase goods that they... -

Republicans have secret plans to make Wisconsin a right-to-work (for less) state
First off no one can require you to vote a certain way, or even vote at all. Telling you that as a requirement to own privtate land by a public authority you must vote a certain way, is not legal. I know many union members that are republicans, its their business not mine or the union's. If you... -

Republicans have secret plans to make Wisconsin a right-to-work (for less) state
Now you are changing the argument from a company that is already involved with the unions, to a group of workers that want to unionize. Right to work affects companies that are already involved with the union. If you want to debate the topic of why employers should have to deal with unions we... -

A company does not need to have 100% union or 100% non-union. Trade unions for example; electricians, pipefitters, operators, etc.; they have an agreement that all work that is covered by their trade is done by union members. So the office staff, warehouse staff, management, do not have to be... -

No Horses, but Detroit Water Department Employs "horseshooer"
I don't see the problem, are you really upset about a title? This article has a very strong bias, this quote: "DWSD has a blacksmith shop in our Central Services Facility," Edwards said. The shop "also ... repairs equipment and works with various metals and welding for the department when... -

"Right to work" is a BS name for unnecessary law. Every one has the right to work, who you work for, and the job you do is dependent on your skills, your employer and how they choose to do business. I've asked this question before, no one has given me a real answer. How exactly is any one...
