What do you think about Prs. Obama stating that abortion won't be covered by the "public option" if enacted?

LovesTravel I think that anything that drives a woman into using risky alternatives to seek abortion is counterproductive. There is no question that a great many women will continue to seek abortions. The only question is weather they will pursue safe means or unsafe...

How many times do you wear your jeans?

cloudi @cloudi (330) 23 Aug 09

I was talking to a friend the other day and she says that she only wears her jeans once and then washes them. I on the other hand wear my jeans at least 3 or 4 times before washing them because they feel better once they are worn...

LovesTravel I'm with your friend. I wear my jeans once, at most twice, then wash. The same with my husband. I worry more about what's NOT seen when it comes to being "dirty." I like my stuff to smell fresh.

Racism

chillpill90 @chillpill90 (1936) 11 Aug 09

LovesTravel Yes, racism still exists. I think most of us have experienced this ugly prejudice at one time or another--no matter our background. One of the most insideous aspects of racism is that it has a way of turning its victims into its practitioners. Once racism...

Why do you dislike/hate Sarah Palin?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 5 Jul 09

This may be opening up a can of worms and I am really not looking for debate, just information. So many people dislike Sarah Palin and the very mention of her name evokes a tremendous emotional response. It seems to be that you...

LovesTravel I don't "hate" Sarah Palin, but I find her shallow and naive. I felt (and feel) that she underestimates the diversity and the depth of "real Americans"--a distinction that she seems to limit to those who agree with her opinions. As Vice President, a politician...

What's The Dress Code That God Wants?

jennysp8 @jennysp8 (855) • United States 1 Jul 09

Of course I'm being smart with the subject question but seriously...I'm pissed. I have a 5 year old son that is going with his father this weekend. Today, actually like 10 minutes ago, I get a call from his father informing me...

LovesTravel In my opinion, you don't have a problem. Your ex has the problem. It's real simple. If your ex doesn't like the clothes you have for your son, then he will need to provide something more "appropriate." (Sheeesh, the child is 5. Suits are not required. In...

Global Warming?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 1 Jul 09

How can there be Global Warming when it's 55f here today? To all of you who believe there is global warming, I ask you.. how much colder is it "supposed" to be? LOL

LovesTravel Very clever, Ted: Global warming is a myth. The ice caps aren't melting. The oceans aren't rising. The rain forests aren't diminishing. The average temperature of the ocean isn't rising. Blue crabs are still plentiful in the East, and salmon is...

How You Can Understand the Bible

ljordan @ptty_noel (190) • Uruguay 30 Jun 09

The Bible is one of the most popular book in the world. It continues to outsell all other books, being avaliable to more people, in more languages, and in more formats that ever before. Yet many people who own a Bible find it...

LovesTravel In my view, the Bible is a magnificent piece of literature. It represents and documents man's struggle to understand his place in the universe. The same can be said for other great religious writings. Is it inspired? Yes, of course, it's inspired by...

Obama to Extend Benefits to Gay Federal Workers

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 16 Jun 09

Here is a surprising breaking news item that is bound to get some members here worked up into quite a tizzy! President Obama will announce tomorrow that he will extend health and other benefits to gay federal employees....

LovesTravel It's about time! Many states and large corporations already do this. It is, in my opinion, a basic civil rights issue.

Was Bill O'Reilly set up? Or did he simply lie knowing many would believe?

Wendy @jerzgirl (9327) • United States 11 Jun 09

Bill O'Reilly was recently proven to have blatantly lied when in his broadcast he castigated CNN coverage of the murder of an abortion doctor while supposedly ignoring the murder of a military recruiter. He said this proved their...

LovesTravel Personally, I think that O'Reilly is so accustomed to creating his own reality that what actually happens has little relevance.

Health care

The United States is one of a few countries that the government doesn't provide health care. Are you for or against government provide health care?

LovesTravel I'm in favor of a national healthcare program. What the insurance and pharma industries have done to healthcare is approximately equivalent to what Wall Street giants did to the financial industry. We are on the brink of a breakdown under a load of insurance...

Questioning someones patriotism

thegreatdebater @thegreatdebater (7316) • United States 3 Mar 09

I was listening to people defend the statements made by Rush Limbaugh over the last few weeks, and I am reminded of the run up to the war in Iraq. When anyone would question the presidents decisions during a time of war, they were...

LovesTravel Just one more example of "do as I say, not as I do." When one person calls another unpatriotic, for me, it's a red flag to pay more attention to the authenticity of the acuser. "J'Accuse"--it's just a bad idea altogether.

LovesTravel I suspect that most people who profess a particular religious faith do so very selectively. I think there are two main categories within any kind of religious organization. One sort works hard to live their faith. There may be a bit of backsliding from time...

Notting Hill

bubblyapple @bubblyapple (2653) • Philippines 14 Feb 09

I am watching Notting Hill again for the nth time. And I still like it. There were a few films that I could watch over and over and not get saturated by it. Notting Hill is one of them. Anyone else who likes this film?

LovesTravel Add me to the list of those who love Notting Hill. It's romantic. It's tender. It's sweetly funny. It refrains from coarseness (yes, it's THAT romantic). It takes me to London with the tap of button on the DVD remote. What more could you ask for in an hour of...
