An early favorite for multiple Razzies.

It's less that most Christians were or are that way but that the more predominantly Christian we were as a nation, the more that word was able to hide. There were too many variant beliefs for anyone to cast the first stone. There's not as high a percentage of Christians now and a fair amount of...

It's basically what Christianity in America has been. The difference is that over 90% of Americans were Christians into the 60s and this stuff didn't get questioned. Now that it does, they feel cheated when it's not accepted than when all things are equal, they're more equal than others.

I don't know that any of this would involve your product but I was literally thinking yesterday as I was driving how big a difference cataract surgery and corrective lenses have made in my life. You should feel good about helping people with that.

I used to hang out with a group of people that ran long on people like engineers ,foresters, boat mechanics and carpenters who were all fairly apolitical. Hell, I only talk about politics on message boards. Only do it here because I can skim through the responses to see if anything resonates or...

Is there any way to guesstimate what the loss of trust and respect will cost us in the future? I don't care who we elect next or how strongly we repudiate all Trump ends up doing, I don't too much see getting that back.

Maybe we should discuss a cogent drug policy that would make drugs a health issue instead of a political football to justify political and legal malfeasance here and abroad. We've done the same stupid shit over and over again and basically succeeded in destroying people's lives by treating them...

That was probably the one I went to. I remember less about that night than I might have.

I might be wrong about how things in Greenland but I suspect the same sort of thing would happen there as here. Any of these seem as if it would put a crimp in your political leverage or maybe even your right to vote. A person who takes foreign money in exchange for supporting the takeover of...

Why don't they put that money here where it's within our national borders. That's even better for national security. Wyoming (Halleck Creek): Home to one of North America's largest deposits, with billions of tons estimated, though development focuses on economic viability. Montana (Sheep...

I don't know. For them, being a political outlier has a more physical meaning.

Did you know that Hades, God of the Dead, might have named his dog Spot? A prominent theory suggests Cerberus's name comes from the Proto-Indo-European word ḱérberos, meaning "spotted" or "dappled," linking him to similar mythical guard dogs like the Hindu Śarvara

It would seem that registration should be a matter of public record. Somebody ought to be able to verify whether or not a ship of that name and description was registered and when. Now, I have no doubt there's a way to spoof that but, if so, you can bet whoever did is well ahead of us in...

Almost all because of Republicans focusing on what was good for them instead of the country. Just the damage your ilk has done to education and respect for experience and achievement is astonishing. The same can be said for any neutral approach to anything at all. The attempt to focus on the...

Maybe. This isn't it, though. The bottom line is that rare earths aren't so rare, they are just expensive, destructive and hazardous to mine. This is more about getting it cheaper at somebody else's expense which makes it about greed and not security. If security was the issue, we wouldn't...
