Not at all. The protestant dominate the southern US (except, perhaps, Louisiana from it's old French roots). During my stays in the 'heartland' I could hear minister after minister all but cursing out the "Papists". Brutally hateful: wrong flavor of christian. I met plenty - and the wreak of hypocrisy and malice. Except, of course, to others in their little group. Voltaire put it best: "Smiling, smiling damned villains!"

And the right? They're taking away there health care so the babies die a little bit later. I guess it amuses them.

Well - praying for a miracle - I suppose you prefer that - can't tell, but nothing happens unless someone goes through the trouble to do it.

Again, you're an idiot! Conservatives make up the majority of foster and adoptive families. Conservatives also donate more time and money to charitable organizations. You, are an idiot!

Step 1. Fix THAT problem. Get black families to stay together for crying out loud. Boy you are such a whiner and have so much blind hatred for conservative people. Sad. You make up things that they believe in and them hate them for it. What an idiot!

Foster? Maybe, because it pays. Adoptive? Only pretty babies. You don't want any of those black ones, or the ones with deformities. They can grow up in institutions or linger and die, as applicable. Basically - the hatred isn't blind - it was from opening my eyes and seeing what happens when there's no one to stop you.

I've only heard of the Catholic Church preaching no birth control but even that was only to their members, I believe. And I think they may have recently changed their position on that. And so you want me to look it up because you can't explain it. :laugh:

Let's see now - which party is trying to destroy Obamacare? I suppose that taking away their insurance isn't taking away their health care. They just can't afford it. Too bad for them.

Well - the world has changed a lot. The party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt - freedom and environmental protection - dropped all that crap - they like to invoke "party of Lincoln", but he'd never recognize it. And the current executive-order attacks on the environment - But - back in the time of the civil war the KKK was against the party of Lincoln - so the south became the "Solid South" and only elected democrats - at least democrats in name - because as soon as civil rights came down from Washington Democrats they turned Republiscum. So did the KKK and those like them. So get over the hundred-year-ago bullshit. Scores of years have changed the philosophies of the parties.

I can tell how your mind works: Just close your eyes and don't worry about the consequences. No one you know will be affected. From Burkina to Zimbabwe, U.S. aid cuts squeeze family planning services - Reuters[^] So - every set of birth control pills denied by you hypocrites will cause another abortion. I'd say, on a global scale, you guys are the leading cause of abortion. Paragraph one, above, however explains your feelings about this - "Yawn. I don't know them". The sad thing about the soapbox closing is that it made me keenly aware of the unbridled greed driving those like you.

As a foster parent, if you REALLY think we do this for the money you are truly, hopelessly delusional. We do it because we are called to do it. That's right, we feel that God wants us to use our home to take care of children who aren't ours. They come into our home and we do our best to love them and take care of them while they are here. We fall in love with them and then the court system says that the bio-parents have satisfied a case plan (Taking parenting classes and stuff like that) and then the child goes back to the bio-parents. We grieve when the kiddos leave our home and worry if they will be okay. My parents didn't understand at first, my grown children still sometimes have a problem with it but we still do it because of a deep concern for this one year old who had no way to protect herself from being beaten and broken. We have no standing in the court system and are at the whim of the judge and Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) employees. I have been reprimanded by a judge for speaking up in court (I did politely raise my hand first.) when the guardian ad litem (lawyer who is supposed to represent the child) made claims about the child's wishes that I knew for a fact the lawyer could not have known because the lawyer had never spoken to the child. We try, when possible, to form a relationship with the bio-parents. That is really hard because the parents don't generally like the foster parents, they can feel we are trying to steal their child or we represent the system that has taken their child away from them. Then there is visitation where the parent gets to spend time with their child under supervision. We've had kids who HATED to go to visitation, trashing their room level hatred of going to see their parents. We still have to make them go because "it's the parent's right to see their child". Yeah, that $700 a month which is used to house, feed, and clothe a child is really worth all that crap and puts us on easy street. Putting others above yourself, you ought to try it sometime. The foster parent community is an amazing conglomeration of people who might not otherwise associate with each other. There are single parents, straight conservative couples like my wife and I, same sex couples, all races, all ages. We all have one thing in common, we love children and our hearts break when we hear the stories of where our foster babies came from but r

Lovely - but my perspective comes form a co-worker who was the foster child. Actually, the foster parent worked there, too. The parent still foster-parented, but my co-worker's account of it showed it to be clearly a financial consideration. There may be reasons you don't adopt - but that's when you're really responsible (and the court thing you described goes away, does it not?) By the way, $700/mo's better than natural or birth parents get, isn't it? For that matter, on a positive note, I know one (and only one) anti-abortion person who adopted - and she took the seriously handicapped . . . watched them inevitably fade and die in her care. Five years? Ten years. I respect her view because she stood by it. Putting others above yourself - is that how you picture yourself. I hope so - hope it's not just so you can smugly say so and point. You certainly describe yourself as ready for sainthood. Myself - I don't have the space or time - but at least I have a checkbook. More importantly, perhaps, is that I am ready to be taxed to help support their needs - faces I will never know and who will never know me. No damn bragging rights. Maybe just willing to do something for others without recognition or groups . . . or monthly check. What I do know, for sure: when waylayed by a 'pro-lifer' when getting off a commuter train, I put it to him . . . the babies are born and unwanted . . . how many do you take care of? And your friends? Surely you want them to have a full life with a loving family. Well - the rage in his eyes was palpable. Sure - a few walk=the-walk, but the vast majority just talk-the-talk. For them, not only does charity begin in the home; it ends there.

as with anything, there are pros and cons to stem cell research/implementation. I am sure the religious people left, middle, or right (not just the right) would rather God handle the human evolution/progression.
Yeah, this is there mistake, we ARE god. Man created god in his image (that is why the British Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes, in the east he has black hair and dark eyes. As simplistic as this is, it is just the tip of the ice berg. Look how in Britain we have gay priests and women Bishops. We have forced christianity to adapt to our values (values that actually stem from Saxon law and culture by the way).) It is literally up to us to make our morality, our rights and wrongs, and our own evolutionary path.
