Oi! -- C'mon Harry, I treat you honestly, answer my question... We're not discussing the same thing here. The fundamentalist retardos have limited the federal government's involvement in stem cell research. Work on that awhile. -- George W. Bush - the 43rd Best President Ever!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I did some research a while back with my kid (the one in DC working for the lib lobby group) and she concluded as did I that there has been many more successful projects from other forms of stem cells and none from the embrionic type.. Aside from a desire to spend a lot of money on projects that have resulted in zero progress is just not practical to a lot of secularists like her either... Besides, I still contend that we are not a secular society, that is the change that your party wants. I don't fault you, just think you are wrong and shortsighted... |

May I suggest that you focus on those that are trying to force their beliefs on you and let society decide for themselves? Eisboch Make all the suggestions you like. I will work, however, against those who are in the business of shoveling their religious beliefs onto society. Thank you for your concern, but I'd rather do it myself, thanks. Kill 'em all!!! Whoops - wrong thread again. Sorry. :) I was thinking maybe we were getting to the core difference between classic liberal and classic conservative philosophies. The former seems to think they are responsible for all. The latter focuses on individual responsibility. Eisboch |

You don't have to like you just have to accept it and live with it. Like it or not those "Christian nut cases" determine a lot of what happens in our society. |
