Who should have the right to tell others who to love and marry anyway? Stay the hell out of their bedroom.

As long as they are not harming anyone or taking advantage of those who are incapable of making the choice through age or mental capacity, who cares. Really.

It is a waste of our tax money and our time to have to fight this battle....

Just like abortion, if you don't believe in it, DON'T DO IT. You can't stop others from believing in it or doing it. And you waste your time trying.

firstly....islam is the the only religion in the world is practical.pepole say why muslim women wear a veil why they cover faces and why dont talk to unrelated men,why they have sex only after marriage!the answer is non muslims talk to who ever they want and have sex with anyone!which in the long run resulting in aids!we dont belive in putting up our own stuff as we dont need!islam itself teaches us to lead a life properly and not like animals. its not a religion its a way of live ,and implumbus.....


Religions are nothing more than some men's thoughts on what should be. They can all be radical at times, just as men are.

None of them makes any human better than they already were, they just believe it does.

I’m still trying to get my relationship thinking cap on right, and I’m hoping the rest of you already might have yours on tight. So… as this is a dating site, where personal connections are made in the midst of the competition that exists, what are we supposed to think, say, and/or do if our partners/significant others makes it clear to us that they respect and will remain friends with the men and/or women that we both know are our rivals, and have acted accordingly towards us, should our partners loyalty to our known rivals be questionable, even actionable, such as being a deal breaker for us?


If the amount of time has passed that you feel the relationship should be exclusive (with both of you agreeing on what is exclusive) and this hasn't happened, then it is time to let it go.

Time is precious. Your time should be valued by yourself enough not to waste it.

If you feel rivalry and it isn't because you are insecure yourself, which would be your own issue, then they are not doing/showing what they need to for the relationship to be a true loving trusting relationship....

hello!
I'm trying this online dating thing again, and would like some feedback from other ladies on how to overcome this issue.
I met a fellow about 5 years ago online, and we clicked. Sweet as he was though, he couldn't leave mummy's basement and we just could not have a mature relationship.
How do you harden your heart and stick to your guns and invest yourself in a relationship for YOUR sake, and not the other guy?
As women, we are for the most part trained to be care givers and nurturers. I grew up with a disabled brother and my career is in health care, taking care of people.
It's a natural extension of my personality to reach out to those in need and to provide care for them, be it physical, mental, or emotional. problem is that when the giving is not shared, it results in a dysfunctional relationship, and I REALLY do not want to get tangled up in that net again.
Any words of wisdom or advice?
Thank you and have a wonderful day!


Think of it like this....you either eliminate them now before anything gets started or later when it becomes a big emotional upheaval...you choose.

Oh and charity is best given with no expectations. So in a relationship there should/can be no charity.

Being charitable is great though for those who you give to and never expect them to do anything else except receive it.

I believe it was Jim Geraghty that coined the headline of this post, but it keeps turning around in my mind. Tam highlights a particularly vacuous campaign video appearing this season in Indiana. The worst part about an election like this is that the partisans, on both sides, have already made up their minds. Studies have shown that partisans are generally the best informed voters, when it comes to the issues, no matter what side you’re on. The rest of this silly season is bringing the folks, who barely pay attention, over to your side so you can actually win the election. Whether anyone likes it or not, you need these people to actually win.

So you get politicians making these vacuous ads, because they want the low-information voters* to like and identify with them — I’m a great politician, you see. I care about our troops, and you care about our troops too, so don’t you think I’m a great guy to vote for? I not only care about our troops in general, but out troops from your very specific tribe! How wonderful! — The low-information voter won’t know much in November, but politicians will be hoping ads like this strike an emotional chord, and stick strongly in the memories of people who barely pay attention. This is how elections are won and lost, unfortunately, when partisans can’t decisively win on the strength of their base. That’s the case for neither party today.

In parliamentary systems, partisans are more free to be loyal to parties that most closely match their beliefs, and leave the coalition building to the politicians in the government. In our system, coalition building happens outside the apparatus of government, and compromises are forged in civil society. Some argue the former is better, but I tend to think the latter is. I’d much rather trust civic entities to make compromises than state entities. But the unfortunate side effect of forging coalitions in civil society is having to persuade the low-information voter that your guy is really their guy, and the result are ads like Tam highlights. I wish I knew how to fix that problem, without putting more power in the hands of politicians, but I don’t really have a good answer.

* Before libertarians get offended that I’m suggesting they are low information voters, rather than partisans, they are not. Libertarians are among the most partisan and informed around. But not enough people don the wookie suit to be a real factor in elections. You have many people who are libertarianish, but a strong ideology that doesn’t involve a deity is a rare breed, whether your deity is God or Government. Winning the unwashed masses will take some degree of pragmatism.

Well, they have it right, just the candidate and targets wrong.

We suffer from the misinformed Republican populace in this country.

Most of them vote against their own best interest.

You've just had sex with a new lover for the first time. It's now the morning after and he/she has gone out to buy breakfast for you both. While they're gone, do you look through his/her personal belongings? Closets, draws, etc?


He best have me wanting to rest while he is gone or I might not be there when he gets back, something will come up that I have to leave for. I will call or text him that I have to go though, not the sneaking off type. No, snooping is not my style.

I guess "libs" serve a purpose when needed eh? How hypocritical is that?

And...thinking you "need" a gun is a mental health issue to begin with.

If they assess all that want a gun for mental health issues, they will be able to eliminate some of the unnecessary gun violence. And then take the guns away from those irresponsible gun owners who let the kids get em and go shoot a whole school up...how they will do that, I don't know but it is needed.

Make them renew their mental health certificate every year to keep the gun.

Absolutely no multi firing weapons are needed at all. For any reason.

And lets let the gun manufacturers suffer the same fate as the tobacco industry. Create something that kills, get sued over it. And remember that tobacco does do good things too so that is no defense if someone were to try to use it.

I can go on and on but I am just expressing my views here not writing the book on it.

3 killed in Denver shooting

Advertisement

A sad story out of Colorado on Feb. 6 indicates that three killed in a Denver shooting includes two children and one adult. CBS 4 Denver shared the available details on this rapidly developing story, and surely more will be known throughout the day.

The incident that left three killed in the Denver shooting happened at a home in the northeast area of Denver in the Globeville neighborhood. Another child was rushed to the hospital and went straight into surgery. Reports indicate the father of the child, who is apparently 2-years-old, was hysterical as he called for help.

Again self expression about self is great....shooting folks is a great self expression I am sure some would say.....

Gun crazy ideology is wrong no matter what justification is used for it.

I would never disrespect this man who suffered something no one should in having a child attacked in their classroom by an automatic weapon wielded by a sick young man...

Again, the self expression of self is great.

Nothing here reflects on me at all.

As to the OP, grief is a terrible thing but if one is pushing gun crazy ideology they are wrong, whether they know it or not. They may need to grow past their own fear or grief or both to see it but they are still wrong.

My guess is that David is correct about libs, since I am not one, I cannot speak for them.

But obviously the Westboro's do....

Personally, I resist the urge to even say "they/he/she/it deserves" because I am never in a good position to judge others.

3 wounded in shooting outside Vegas movie theater
Police: 3 wounded, 2 critically, in parking lot shooting outside Las Vegas Strip movie theater

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- An overnight shooting in a parking structure outside a Las Vegas Strip movie theater left two people critically wounded and one person with a minor injury, police said Wednesday.

Police don't believe the shooting just after midnight was a random act, but Officer Laura Meltzer said the shooter or shooters hadn't been identified. She added initial reports from a police spokesman at the scene that the shooting happened in the theater lobby were incorrect.

"The theater had nothing to do with it," Meltzer told The Associated Press. "They were not coming from a movie. It was not in the theater lobby."

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing conflict between members of two groups that squared off in the parking structure near the UA Showcase 8 theater, Meltzer said. The parking structure lobby has entrances to the theater and to Las Vegas Boulevard.

It wasn't immediately clear how many shooters there were, but Meltzer said multiple shots were fired.

Police arrived to find one of the most seriously wounded people in the parking structure lobby and another in an elevator car on the fifth floor of the six-story parking structure. Both were reported to be in critical condition at University Medical Center in Las Vegas. Their names weren't made public.

A third victim was found near the street in front of the elevator lobby. He was treated at the scene for an injury that Meltzer said wasn't believed to be life-threatening. The wounded were described as males, but their ages weren't immediately known.

Meltzer said investigators don't believe the confrontation between the two groups was gang-related, but they were still trying to determine the relationship between them.

Police and property security officers closed exits and entrances to the Showcase Mall parking structure for more than two hours while they investigated, the police spokeswoman said.

According to movie show times, the last features of the night let out shortly before the shooting was reported. Meltzer said she didn't know if anyone inside the theater heard or knew about the shooting outside.

"There's no indication in the call that any evacuation was needed," she said.

Former Westboro Baptist member: We prayed for people to die
By Eun Kyung Kim, TODAY contributor


From the time she was 8, Libby Phelps Alvarez traveled the country protesting funerals. Like other members of the family-based Westboro Baptist Church, she often crashed the funerals of fallen soldiers.

“They think that they're fighting for a nation that supports homosexuality," Alvarez told TODAY, explaining the rationale behind the protests.

Now, Alvarez has left the inflammatory Kansas-based church started by her grandfather and travels the world with her new husband experiencing simple acts once forbidden by her former cult-like religion – like getting a haircut. She also has gotten her ears pierced.

She said she first began to question church activities after a friend’s husband died while serving in the military. Her family picketed the funeral. She stayed behind.

“There was a point when we started praying for people to die,” she said. “I didn't actually do that but I was around when they did it.”

In addition to disrupting military funerals, Westboro church members also are known for extreme anti-gay and anti-Semitic rhetoric, targeting both groups in their protests. But they shocked the nation when they announced plans to protest the funerals of the children killed in the Newtown, Conn., mass shooting.

“Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment,” the church announced in a tweet.

Three-Year-Old Boy Accidentally Shot In The Head While Playing with Pink Gun He Thought Was a Toy
Neetzan Zimmerman

Police in Greenville, South Carolina, say a 3-year-old boy was killed Friday night after a pink gun he mistook for a toy accidentally discharged.

Temorej Smith and his 7-year-old sister were in the bedroom of their unit at The Plantations at Haywood apartments, playing around with a pink handgun.

Their parents were out of the house at the time, but their grandparents were reportedly sitting in the nearby living room.

As the two siblings were playing with the weapon, it suddenly went off and Temorej sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Greenville Police have since ruled the boy's death an accident. No charged have been filed, but the investigation continues.

Police spokesman Johnathan Bragg said the incident tragically illustrates the importance of securing all household weapons.

"If you have guns, if you own guns mostly we would prefer you have them in a lock box," Bragg told News 4. "At least have them out of the reach of children."

Funeral services for Temorej will be held tomorrow afternoon at Golden View Baptist Church in Fountain Inn.
