DUI Checkpoints in the US. Do you support them or think they're constitutional?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 29 Apr 10

I'm asking this because a friend on Facebook said police can't stop you and ask for ID without reason even in Arizona. While according to the constitution, that should be true we all know it isn't. Police constantly set up DUI...

jmowreader DUI checkpoints don't work the way they should. The only drunk drivers they'll catch are ones who have no friends. If I just left the bar after drinking Coca-Cola all evening and I see a DUI checkpoint on Government Way, I'm going to call my friend and tell...

Free Speech?

k15682 @k15682 (300) • United States 31 Mar 10

As much as I agree with the freedom of speech, this is too much for me. CNN is reporting that a father must pay the legal expenses for the Westboro Baptist Church, the loonies that protest at funerals of fallen soldiers....

Can someone share an easter egg recipe.

workworkthomas2010 @workworkthomas2010 (77) • India 30 Mar 10

I usually order marzipan eggs (I just love them) specially made on easter from one of our parishioners. This year I wanna try making it. So is there anyone who can share me their recipe. Most of the people i know, don't share...

jmowreader Marzipan is a mixture of 1 part almond meal and one part confectioner's sugar. If you have a food processor this isn't hard: throw a pound of unsalted roasted almonds in and grind them into a cornmeal-like consistency. Add the sugar and continue to process...

Confederates - the new minority?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 29 Mar 10

[i](March 26) -- I live in the South. I love the South. And even I think this is beyond stupid. A group called The Southern Legal Resource Center is attempting to "defend the rights of Southerners to honor their culture and...

pots and pans

hvedra @hvedra (1619) 23 Mar 10

Do you have good quality pots and pans? Would you like some of the really nice professional pots and pans that chefs use? Do you use a lot of different pots and pans or just the same few all the time?

jmowreader Most people wouldn't want true foodservice cookware, because it's not nonstick. Nonstick coatings wouldn't last under the conditions of a professional kitchen--harsh sanitizers and stirring with metal utensils. Foodservice pans are not very expensive; you can...

If you could help change health/medical care in America what would you recommend

Bearballew @Bearballew (1148) • United States 21 Mar 10

I think that real Americans that go to the local doctor, have babies, have kids in school that fall off monkey bars, that drive used cars, that work 9 - 7, that pay taxes, that get refunds, that clip coupons, that battled cancer,...

jmowreader I would have Army Healthcare for All. The Army treats its soldiers at no cost to the servicemember. If you need to go to the doctor, you go to the orderly room, get a sick slip and go to sick call. They save money through preventive care: every soldier has...

Sarah Says God Wrote On HIS Palms Too!!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 8 Mar 10

On the Tonight Show last week Sarah Palin told Jay Leno she got the idea of writing on the palm of her hand from her dad; now it turns out GOD DID IT TOO! "If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand,...

jmowreader The whole uproar isn't because Palin uses a teleprompter, writes notes on her palm, or whatever. It's because she talks smack about the president using a teleprompter when EVERYONE in the public eye uses one. These days a public speaker's people give the text...

Are unions destroying American businesses?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 7 Mar 10

I live in Ohio, which is not a "right to work" state. That means that unions dominate both skilled and unskilled professions. A lot of industries won't come here because they know that unions will recruit and take over their...

jmowreader The "laws to protect workers' basic rights" do not work. I live in a right to work (or "right to get fired") state, and right now the big fad is to "1099" your employees--to declare your employees to be independent contractors. If you've been 1099'd, you have...

$1 Million is NOT A Lot of Money???

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 17 Feb 10

That's what GOP Chairman Michael Steel said recently - "Trust me, after taxes, a million dollars is not a lot of money." I just thought I'd try to take an informal survey here to see who agrees with that statement. Allow me to...

Yet another broken promise as Obama gives no-bid contract to campaign donor

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 26 Jan 10

Yup, a $25 million dollar contract has just been given to a big campaign donor for democrats. Now with all the broken promises I'm sure many of you have forgotten this one. Obama promised many times to end no-bid contracts like...
