So your argument is that a GAY person is going to take offense to a GAY shirt being worn by one half of a GAY couple?

Seems kind of silly to me ... as if they're anticipating former felons voting toward legalizing murder or something similar that's never going to happen. Keep them from running for office, ok ... whatever, but voting? They're still citizens.

Who cares? Obviously, she didn't. As usual, let's all cater to the ignorant and intolerant ...

That would be the NASA site, I'd assume, but still nothing there about the conclusions of a ten year study and discredit of previous information.

The other link seems to be the man who actually came to this conclusion ... who is a long-time nay-sayer of climate change and has books to sell on the subject.

I'll judge this "not enough info" until I see something from NASA itself.

So, seeing something you consider stupid can change your opinion of equal rights and consideration for all types of people? This is an uncommon occurrence, but even if it were an hourly event, you think you (or anyone else) have the right to deny people equality?



Considering its location, I have no doubt you can find hundreds of Jesus shirts on a daily basis and at least a couple crucifixion depictions. I see them around here all the time. I find that inappropriate for children (then again, I find all religion inappropriate for children since they cannot think critically for themselves).

BTW, my daughter is five and saw a picture of a couple friends of mine kissing the other day. She asked "why are those girls kissing"? I was honest and said matter-of-factly, "some boys like boys and some girls like girls." Her response was "oh, ok" and she went back to playing with her toys.

Instead of covering their eyes, why not be honest and treat it like its normal (because it is) and then we won't be offended by silly t-shirt slogans.

Yeah, I got that $300 check too ... yippee ...

And for those that don't know, Forbes is a business-oriented, mostly op-ed magazine (read: Republican). Amusing that I see nothing about this on the NASA site itself ... in fact, the only place I CAN find it is from right-wing propagandist machines and most of them are quoting the article in Forbes.

Can anyone else find a less biased source for this information?

I think even if more heat is being released into space as this article claims, it doesn't alleviate our responsibility (not to the planet, it'll ultimately be fine ... but to the generations that follow us) and we should do more to lessen our impact on the environment, regardless.

Funny ... especially since just three months ago, there was this:

I wonder if Mr. Dean is so hardcore anti-gay because he woke up one day next to a dude after a night of drug use on the road ...

Oh, I know ... tell my ex that. She was demanding I take her and get whatever needed done and she would pay for it ... I guess simply to "show me up" and try to finger me among her friends as a horrible parent because I was "thinking more about the money".

Bet she'll never thank me for keeping a straight head and saving her $400, though ...

Interesting ... since gays have "marriage is between one man and one woman" forced down their throat on a daily basis, even if its just the simple fact of knowing that by law they can't legally marry in most states.

Who's cramming what?

The $300-400 was if she actually needed glasses, which she doesn't. Her vision is still 20/20. I was remarking on worst (financial) case scenario. The 300-400 as compared to 25 when they get home in, now, 2 weeks.

She's doing well, now. No blurring in 5 days now and the appointment with the optometrist is tomorrow.

Hmm ... four pages and nobody thought to say "42"? Really?

Yeah, I've been doing that several times a day, having her read and count things at a distance. Everything checks out so far. Four days now without incident and four days to go until the doc appointment.

The doc's office has a discount special, if you bring in ten canned goods you get $30 off the exam. That'll help immensely.

The pacing worked great for me. I kind of expected it to be a run from start to finish, but spreading the action a bit kept me interested, especially since the action was separated by details of interest. That's just me, though.

Actually, there is a significant difference. Whether we have been visited or not (or whether we ever find it or not elsewhere), alien life is plausible, at least.

Now now, lets not follow "tradition" by dictating what is Godly. As our own Gods, its up to us to "Intelligently Design" our own clothing.

I believe there are no pegasi on the face of the planet Earth. There is no evidence of any pegasus anywhere other than ancient myths. Does that make me delusional? If not, why should the argument be any different concerning God?

Ha! Another alternative is to just assimilate Mexico ... problem solved, now everyone is legal. I mean, we might as well, right? Why not be the evil empire they're all claiming us to be?

Well, that was because of the gold standard. There is still a legal limit on gold hoarding beyond jewelry.

Point. Agreed. To choose public humiliation over political pressures ... commendable. Private lives (that are not expressly illegal) should not concern the general public, so long as the work is getting done satisfactorily.
