Why is there medical treatment any less valid than yours?

Happy Pride Month! ^If I've got my facts right, that's actually the flag that flies over Harvey Milk Square in San Francisco. They brought it to my town for Meet In The Middle last month. I was so glad I got this shot.

I was just watching their Supreme Leader's comments, telling all of the protesters not to come out, and if they did, the violence and bloodshed that would result would be their fault.

So I'll ask again, since it wasn't addressed: Why do we have people in this country dying because they can't afford health care? This is not the mark of a great nation.

So taxes are socialist? And if the health care here is so fantastic, why do we have people dying because they can't afford treatment? Why do we have people going to other countries to have operations done? And if it bugs you that some of us get involved in these discussions, you're always...

I guess the "Support the President right or wrong love it or get out" mentality doesn't work when the shoe's on the other foot.

Hey, at least Don Quixote DID something about his irrational fears! Personally I've decided to try and live my life as fear-free as possible, and it feels GREAT. Maybe I should give him some pointers?

1. Obama's the fifth President I've lived under and he doesn't scare me a bit. Mind you, I wasn't old enough to remember the Reagan years, but they sound a little scary to me. 2. Shows a lack of research. We live in the future, Mr. Pritchett. Five minutes of Googling will turn up a wealth of...

Must have been a heck of a ceremony! I think Denise is all kinds of awesome.

That is true, but please remember two things: 1. Hate will not conquer hate. 2. They aren't all like that. I attended a counter-rally of the "Still Standing in the Middle for Marriage" meet on Sunday. It was led by a group called California Faith for Equality. This is Rabbi Denise Eger...

I think someone's been watching Religulous! Miniwhinny, you've kind of gone off on a tangent. This thread is about gay marriage, not religion. If you want to start one about religion please do so, because I don't think this thread's the right place for it.

The anti-gay marriage folks out here like to label their side as being pro family, and for the children. What I've found though is when they say "for the children" they mean for THEIR children. They seem to forget that there are kids out there with LGBTQ parents. Kids and teens who grew up being...

I don't think I could, either! I have to issue a few caveats before I go into this. One, it is a red herring because the two movements are not related. Two, the two movements are not related. I hate the "If this, then this" arguments because they do imply a direct connection. "If we let gay...

I was looking for a hi-5 smily-I guess we don't have one! Adding in: Looking at it that way, it is no longer an issue of gay marriage, or gay rights (or GLBTQ rights, to be all-inclusive). It is a matter of civil rights. Equality under the law. California, after all, is a republic. One of the...

Gay marriage is not an issue of faith, religion, or beliefs. Same sex marriage is an issue of equality and legality. We have THREE classes of people in CA, now. Straight people who are and can marry as they wish, homosexual couples who are married, and homosexual couples who can't marry. The...

I marched on the Day of Decision, Tuesday, protesting California's Prop 8 ruling. Tomorrow is Meet in the Middle for Equality: http://www.meetinthemiddle4equality.com/ which (lucky for me!) takes place in my very own town. I'll be there tomorrow. The following Saturday is Fresno Pride. I'll be...

Adam's really got 'something'. I have never, in the whole run of this show, cared about the singers or the competition or anything. Someone sent me a link of Adam singing, and this season? I cared.

The breed is spelled Shih Tzu. The board shouldn't have an issue with that.

A ten gallon is pretty small for goldfish. You could maybe swing one in there, if you bought a second filter. My favorite setup for a ten gallon tank is a male betta with some peaceful bottom dwelling fish (I LOVE kuhli loaches for this) and maybe some mid-level swimmers-some kind of tetra.
