SteveSlaton I just re-read this entire discussion. You seemed to gloss over or points made. Sooner better later people of Earth need to figure out ways to stop population growth. Young people often make big mistakes that effect the rest of their lives. My military point...

My heart goes out to the people of Oslo, Norway

bostonphil @bostonphil (4459) • United States 22 Jul 11

Like the rest of the world, I am shocked by what has taken place in Oslo today. Norway seems to be such a placid and peaceful land. Who would have ever expected such violence to have erupted there? And the media reports seem to...

SteveSlaton I am an American that is very unhappy with our Corporate Empire politics. There are those who profit from violence and killing. As for the continued violence and threats between India and Pakistan, well, study your history. Mahatma Gandhi's beliefs of...

SteveSlaton The "reason" I used the term "Big Brother" is in reference to George Orwell's novel, 1984, that has been made into a movie 3 times. Here is a wiki link: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four You wrote: "Big Brother is a good reality show..."...

So IS Sarah Palin "Qualified to be President of the United States"?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 19 Nov 09

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour was just asked that very simple, straight-forward question by Chris Matthews FOUR TIMES on "Hardball" and he circled it, he dodged it...he did EVERYTHING he could do with it other than ANSWER...

SteveSlaton Thank you, Annie. I had read a number of responses and comments here and thought that maybe I could "bait" some Palin believers... May they cannot think of anything? Or maybe the silence shows that I AM RIGHT?! in my assessment.

President Obama to Send 34,000 Additional Troops to Afghanistan

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 25 Nov 09

I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about this here. It's been reported by numerous sources that President Obama has made his decision regarding Afghanistan and will announce next Tuesday that somewhere around 34,000 additional...

SteveSlaton The continued deficit spending is continuing to erode the value of the dollar. It is insanity and unsustainable to keep going deeper in debt. Freedom is not promoted by brute force causing the people you are supposedly helping develop a hatred of you. I am...

SteveSlaton I hope we can agree to disagree with civility. Personally the Holy Spirit I relate to and experience. I believe Jesus was a great prophet and think of myself as a Christian but am agnostic about Paul and company deifying Jesus... Perhaps Jesus was...

SteveSlaton Personally, I am agnostic when it comes to prophesy but I certainly have faith... Jesus was a great prophet... For those who believe in prophesy, perhaps WWII was the Armageddon? There are so many conflicting points in the Bible, they cannot all be true....
