So is mine, as well as my older brother, and neither of them are corrupt. -1 Troll? Sorry to break up your hate party with the truth.

could it be because our doctors have the skill to allow babies to be born that would be stillborn elsewhere, but then subsequently die from complications? This is a misleading statistic that doesn't take the whole picture into account.

Are you seriously, SERIOUSLY, trying to pin this on the bush administration? I am absolutely in awe.

* Promise Broken 19

You don't consider that to be a lot of broken promises? I would argue that even one broken promise is too many.

If that's seriously the best example you have, that Peter ALMOST killed someone, then that sorta proves his point right there.

It would be a huge undertaking, but I think it's a goal worth striving for.

Why? The masses are uninformed, easily swayed sheep without the time or resources necessary to properly investigate any given piece of legislation. not only that, but most of them wouldn't vote anyway. I'm not saying a republic is perfect, but its still better than what a direct democracy would be.

Incorrect.

This is exactly the problem with liberals. They have no distinction between voluntarily giving something and having something taken by force.

No, but its hard to prosecute people who've been dead for a while.

Okay, first off, I agree with everything you've said here. But why has it become so common these days to call people with different or even incorrect information "liars"? Isn't it enough to just call them wrong and point out why? Why attribute deliberate deception to them without any proof? All that does is foster hostility and blind them to the point you are trying to make.

The alcohol itself killed people when it was poisoned. The people that die nowadays are killed by other *people* making poor decisions and abusing alcohol, not by the alcohol itself. An important distinction, I think.

Twits/trolls like you are the reason for the first part of my sig, but what the hell:

Fine me ONE. I've tried. They aint there. It doesn't matter how stupid you are, nobody believes that smart bombs only kill bad people. However, apparently idiots do beleive that others believe that.

There isn't anyone quite as stupid as those who think they're smarter than everyone else.

" I contacted customer service and they wanted me to disable this Windows thing and edit that registry whatever. No thanks. " Let me get this straight, they actually told you how to fix the problem, and you're bitching anyway? If you can't handle tweaking some settings to get things to work right on occasion, clearly you just want a console.

IANAL, but two things: 1. Slander is spoken, Libel is written. (Yeah, I'm nitpicking. Sorry.) 2. "Ms. Sarah Phelps is the worst teacher I've ever met" is not a declaration of fact, but of opinion. Opinions (generally speaking) cannot, by defintion, be demonstrably true or false. By your own definition, defamation is only involved when untrue statements are made. So basically, defamation laws have no relevance here. If she made a group called "Ms. Sarah Phelps hits her students" then they would have a fairly solid defamation case. Whether the school can punish her within its own system is a separate issue. I know if I made a "My boss is the worst boss ever" group on facebook, I could certainly expect to be fired.. but if he tried to sue me for defamation he'd get laughed out of court.
