Better open up a health savings account ASAP before it’s too late! (sarcasm.)

“Bingo” is not an argument. “Bingo” doesn’t say anything, doesn’t prove anything, doesn’t do anything except make it appear that you have nothing intelligent to say. “No, no, you dumb, me smart, so you wrong!” If I missed something, what was it? What part of a blatant, unfounded character attack is right just because you don’t like that person? What did I miss? Why am I wrong?

“Bad mistake” was meant as not just a mistake, which is by nature “bad”, but a bad mistake, which would then be “bad, bad”, or “worse” or something. And why would you insult Bush for trying to be civil? Have you ever been to a business meeting or conference? It’s usually considered rude to just up and leave. If I didn’t know the etiquette for a given meeting, I’d try to hold it until a break too. But I guess some of us still just use some part of the cave nobody’s standing on (hopefully), so such a concept might be foreign.

I couldn’t care less, since I wasn’t directly addressing them. (Maybe not everything has to do specifically with MichaelS?)

Maybe I missed something

Bingo.

Seriously people, he [the Shrub] is a human being. He makes mistakes, just like all of you.

Yeah, I send soldiers to their deaths in a meaningless war all the time. And I have to ask to go to the potty during a UN session. I’m surprised he didn’t just do it in his diapers.

Maybe he makes too many mistakes

Wait for it…

and maybe his mistakes are bad ones

No, they’re all good mistakes. Really, they are. *eyeroll*

This was fun.

How so?

Research at universities is largely carried out with outside funding. The government agencies are some of the large suppliers of those funds.

Now a research lab needs many parts. Equipment, buildings staff etc. These are paid for in part by the same funds that pay for the research itself.

Now if a department gets 50% of its research grants from the federal, then the lab technicians, the beakers, and the cleaners will – all things being equal – be 50% funded by the federal government.

This means that even the 50% of the research that is privately funded cannot be in stem cells! Even though the researchers themselves are 100% funded by a private grant, they would be using equipment, buildings, cleaners etc that was federally funded, and this is prohibited.

For an institution to do stem cell research they would have to set up totally separate facilities for the private research, which would in many cases be prohibitively expensive!

That the Republicans are anti-science, anti-sense, lying despicable pieces of excrement has now been proven beyond reasonable doubt a thousand times over & in just about every case where they open their mouths.

Why are they still in power? Why are they still damaging your nation more every day?

Is Amercia too liberal & tolerant – are you so peace-lving, generous and weak-minded as as to NOT actually DO something to kick these neo-Fascist nasties out ASAP!

Why have the Democrats NOT long since impeached “Mad Pres” George Bush II -an impeachment to swiftly be followed by crimes against humanity, war crimes & treason charges over the damage he’s done to three or four nations specifically (USA, Iraq, Afghanistan) & the world in general???

Come on people! Show some spine & rreally stop this nutter befroe he blows us all up! Please!

Oh , and for the record, Hitler too was a science-hating, superstitious, misogynist bigot – more the sort of person like your stereotypical Republican rather than the stereotypical scientist or “Liberal” ..

Summary :

Stem cell research – of course we should have it.

Embryoes human -no more than eggs &sperm cells or inothers words NOT at all.

Abortion – absolutely yes – for some people it should be retroactive & compulsory!

Death penalty -yep, there’s a (limited) place for it to remove tehvery worst, unquestionably guilty criminals from ever posing athreat tosociety or harming it again.

And, yes, this is my opinion based on what I consider very good reasons.

Feel free to disagree. Feel free to tell me you disagree &persuade me otherwise or try that.

But do NOT _ force_ your own opinions of morality or reality on me!

Because to use your Good TextBook (albeit in extreme need of scientific & logical editing revision!) : you ‘Do unto others’ – & would you have me do that unto you?

Uh .. Original posting Fellow who thought that based on, I’m sure great personal experience & deep understanding of the female mind, if you _do_ know any women like that could you introduce me?
