A case for contraception

Not very obvious in the video lecture. But it is apparent to any careful observer that the professor makes the case for Contraception and small families which goes against the hard-right wing's philosophies.

You are a douchebag McCain

In the last & final debate, McCain was talking and stressing about not taking the low road for highest office in the land. What does he do next day?

Spreading rumors as if it were the truth. Very disgusting. He is 1000% not getting our votes and the people I have spoken to. Everyone is disguested as well

I sometimes have to wonder how in the god's name, U.S.A having the dark chapters in its history proudly once proclaimed that "All men are equal". What were the founders thinking?

The Logical Solution to the Civil Union vs. Marriage Debate

It is a wonderful suggestion! I am really behind this

http://dmiessler.com/blog/the-logical-solution-to-the-civil-union-vs-marriage-debate

The answer is so simple that it may temporarily disorient you.

• Civil unions are a government function
• Marriage is a church function

In other words, civil unions declare that two people are unified according to the government, e.g. taxes, insurance, etc., while marriage declares two people united within a specific religious context.

These are separate things.

We existing marriages should become civil unions, and governments should proceed from here with granting future civil unions. And if someone would also like to get married, either before or after entering into a civil union, is another matter entirely.

Governments decide if you can civilly unite (which should be allowed for both hetro and gay couples), while the church the couple goes to should maintain the right to deny them a marriage if it goes against that churches religious views. If the couple doesn’t like it they’re free to choose another church.

In short, churches don’t tell governments who can civilly unite, and governments don’t tell churches who they can marry. That’s the true spirit of the separation of church and state.
