So, point out the millions of videos of cops acting bad... What about the lazy citizens, criminal citizens and such who act worse? Is our nation's society, the system we all run by, or any other nation's system for that matter, broken?

The mother who sprays her child with a pressure washer? The crackhead who leaves her baby in a car, or let's her baby suffocate in the couch because she is passed out? WHY! Motherhood must be a flawed system! Or the robber who shoots the head off a bank teller? Why, open banks are flawed systems!

Please spare the hyperbole, cops are people who need weeded just like every other person--get rid of the bad where you can and keep the good where you can. The system has gotten better, but people could care less. Dash cams? Definately not for the cops because they tape the cops way more than the people... And more get fired than before too. You sound like a religious zealot who bashes atheists. And what have you done personally to change the system? Do you vote for or against Sheriffs who are elcected officals? Have you written to a mayor about abuse? No? Have you supported candidates who can effect change? No?

If every police officer in this country acted this way, there would be armed revolution.
But these are two shitbirds out of hundreds of thousands of honest cops who risk their lives to keep the peace and try to preserve justice.
Don't judge thousands of cops on the basis of these two idiots who should be canned...or caned.
Would you like to be judged by the action of one of your co-workers?
Don't be a knee-jerk clone and try to paint all police officers by the actions of these two.

Lol... Getting so sick of hearing this bullshit copy pasta. How many videos of abusive cops need to be put up before they're considered evidence of a flawed justice system.
You're the clone, open your eyes. If police officers continue to act this way there will be an armed revolution.
And I'm not judging hundreds of thousands of cops on the basis of these two idiots. I'm judging the system which creates an unacceptable amount of abusers.

The Idea of a standing army, especially in this country is outdated. The type of weapons that are brought to bear are wholly adequate enough to destroy, mutually, all opposition civilians included.

This is an interesting idea. Certainly national defense is a much trickier, complex proposition than it was 200 years ago. I would agree that the military needs a paradigm shift in the way it operates, but I don't think we'll ever get to the point where the number of people with full-time national defense jobs is zero.

I must point out, again and again, that bullets do not care what political ideology you are. So while you or I lay their sucking air through a chest wound choking on our own cries for those we will never see again, let it be said that it could have been avoided.
We are talking about the cost of life to which we cannot put a value on. No accident of birth should force anyone into military service or any service that they did not so choose. The idea that we are even debating this is beyond morally abject to me, at the end of the day what we the people decide someone is going to die. I will not have that on my conscience, and I must do everything in my power to ensure that no life is lost so carelessly to a gaping head wound.
In short, I am against war and the idea of even talking about it is disgusting to me. The cost of life is too great, and entirely unnecessary.


I agree with you entirely. I'd say though, that despite my agreement, I don't see humanity outgrowing the idea of going to war anytime soon. Certainly not in my lifetime.

That means, even if America becomes as peaceful as I'd like it to be, someone will still need to be trained and ready to defend the country. Preferably a lot fewer people than today, but still more than zero.

That's why I'm saying that the question of "How do we decide who serves?" is still a valid one worthy of some thought, no matter how you feel about war. We don't really have any choice about needing to have some preparation for it, even under the best of circumstances.

And nowhere do I make the claim to oppose all abortion., just the skull-drilling murders of fully-formed children exiting the womb.

Let us be clear the vast majority of late term abortions are cases of terminal congenital conditions, or medical needs of the mother (like going on chemo) nobody who does not want to have a baby waits that long unless they are dirt poor and all the doctors willing to perform one have been run out of town by operation rescue.

An illegitimacy rate in the Black community alone approaching 70% doesn't add up to mere "mistakes" but a sanctioned way of life.

70% of unmarried black women in the US in 2004 had given birth to children while unmarried, but it is not the case that 70% of black children are born to unwed mothers. This number is going down, and has been since the early '90s. Black women are also much less likely to take advantage of abortion services, so that could very easily be the cause of the disparity between 68.8% for unwed black women and 30.5% for unwed white women.

Liberal dogma fosters irresponsibility, ignorance, a victim mentality and dependency on the State. Everyone has to pay for these FUCKUPS in addition to their own taxed-to-death families.

What makes you think black kids with one mom cost you more than white kids with 2.5 parents?

Unsurprisingly, there weren't as many FUCKUPS when they had to pay for the kids themselves.

The '96 welfare reform bill pulled back a lot of gov assistance to single mothers, and somehow magical caused a drop in unwed pregnancy.. starting FOUR YEARS BEFORE it was passed. Unwed motherhood spiked, across ethnic lines, in '91 so please oh great and powerful rationalizer of right wing ideology explain that and how it was a clear cause effect with some evil liberal policy signed by GHW Bush.

Sure is.

I'll edit it to read "most mammals" to please you. I have yet to find a person who would have rather been aborted than live. On second thought, don't elk still breast-feed? Herd yes, mom yes? Educate me. Kindly point out the mammal(s) that don't breast feed or don't require any motherhood after birth.

OMG I just spewed my brandy out my nose, wow.

What a touching tribute, Choggie. You've really captured the uh essence of motherhood and just what man feels and thinks on the most basic level. I say this of course in all respect and gratitude of course....

...and as a mother let me tell you: CHILDREN ARE A BURDEN, YES THEY ARE.

No mother in her right mind would admit to anything less. To say it as if it is some kind of trivialization is ridiculous. There's nothing trivial about the burden of caring for a child. it's a burden, a HUGE burden. I get really sick of pro-lifers using that phrase as if it's such a shallow reason for not choosing pregnancy. There's nothing shallow or trite about admitting you cannot shoulder a burden. saying "they just do it for conveniance sake" um excuse me but I can't think of anything more "inconveniant" than pregnancy and motherhood. Yiou can make it sound trivial but it's FUCKING NOT.

I adore my kids, wanted every one of them. But I will be the first to admit they are "a burden" and an "inconveniance".
Yeah, kinda like wining the lottery is "a burden" and wearing a parka in order to climb mt everest is "inconveniant" Yeesh.

neither of you are right: I vote for you because you whine a lot and I am trained by motherhood to respond to whining. I could punish you with downvotes but I also know you are lazy, and the punishment will do no good since you won't look to see who did the downvoting, so I upvote in the vain hopes that you'll have nothing to whine about and hence shut yer trap for good and bring me cookies. Alas, my jar remains empty, but I'm an optimist like that.

With Ultimate Respect

Hello Young Ladies,

I would first like to say that you are a true inspiration to me and I'm sure millions of other people around the world. Abby and Brittany, you should be very proud of yourselves. Also, you should be equally proud of your parents for raising such lovely, respectful young women. I myself, have an 18 year old daughter whom is the true love of my life. Her name is Talisa Nicole. She was born on September 29, 1988 a healthy and beautiful baby. I think the thing that makes me the proudest of Talisa is that she is such a caring, honest and self-respected person. In addition to those qualities, she has a tremendous amount of respect for all people of the world, no matter their color, their nationality, their religion or most importantly, their physical appearance. Accordingly, she is alo an inspiration to me her mother, all of her friends, and anyone who has the pleasure of meeting her. Girls, I would like to say to you both, I hope all of your wishes and dreams in life come true. I hope and pray that one day you both through the grace of God will experience motherhood as I truly believe you will both make unbelievable mothers and I believe that your children deserve to be brought into this world my two such beautiful and caring women such as yourselves. In closing I would like to gongratulate your parents Mike and Patty for being such wonderful parents in I'm sure so many ways. Last but not least, Girls please never be detered by anything in life, always give it your best shot, and God will take over from there.

God Bless and God Speed,

Kindest regards,

Michael Cervini, a truly proud and loving parent
