Senate votes to end ban on openly gay troops

I really don’t understand why this was ever an issue to begin with… Is there just such an overabundance of men and women willing to fight, and even die, for our freedoms, that we needed to weed them out by only allowing the straight ones? Who cares?! Anyone, gay or straight, who is willing to fight for our country is already a much better American than me, and I appreciate that!

Chinese father punished for food safety activism

This just serves as a HUGE reminder to be thankful for the vast liberties we enjoy as Americans! I cannot imagine the frustration of trying to be a good parent and giving my child the food they need to grow up happy and healthy, then finding out that very food was purposely tainted, making them sick, and not being able to even utter my grievances and speak out against those who risked my child’s life to make a buck…

What's with the thicker necklaces being worn this postseason?

If, by this argument, wearing a necklace of titanium helps reduce fatigue and improve healing times, wouldn’t it be natural to assume that having titanium actually in your body would produce even further benefits, or at least more pronounced ones? And if so, why, with 3 titanium plates, 2 titanium wires, and 8 titanium screws in my jaw, am I constantly so tired? And why did it take so freaking long for my broken rib to heal?

I don’t care for that guy. Talk about an extremist.

I do agree with Barbara, that co-hosts on a show that’s aim is to discuss world issues from different view points should accept that some people will have offensive views and it is their right to have whatever opinions they do, but I also admire Whoopie and Joy for leaving… I’m really getting sick of all this controversy over something that is so simple, according to what our founding fathers fought for…

Message to parents getting louder: No screaming babies allowed!

“Are people becoming more intolerant of kids, noisy or not, in public places? Or are more parents who bring their kids with them everywhere tuned out to how their sometimes noisy offspring may be affecting those around them?”

In general, I love children… However, I can’t stand most parents! After working in the children’s areas at Miller Park for years, and seeing over-indulged children get away with murder, I’m 100% confident that these brats could’ve been prevented by good parenting… I know it’s probably easier to not deal with the job of disciplining, but if you bring a child into this world, it’s your job to raise them to behave in society!

Candidates for governor spar over state smoking ban positions…

"Well when I saw last night on the news that Mark Neumann had come out against the ban, I thought to myself, 'I wonder how long it'll take before Scott Walker flips?'" said Tom Barrett, a Democratic candidate. "And then this afternoon I heard it took him about 18 hours to flip his position."

One of the many reasons I would never vote for Scott Walker… His support of a mayoral take over of MPS is the reason I wouldn’t vote for Barrett, even though he’s a pretty swell guy… So Neumann better get the nomination, or I will be abstaining from the polls come fall…

Dad of a fallen Marine perseveres against protests at military funerals

That they would pour salt on the wounds of his loss of his son, then expect him to pay their legal fees makes me sick… I am 95% against all sorts of violent conflicts, but I am 1000% in support of our troops who are willing to go into a conflict situation and give their lives for a resolution and, unfortunately, preserving the first amendment rights of a-holes like these to freely express themselves! I am even more appalled that this kind of behavior is actually encouraged by a church claiming to be Christian:

“‘Military funerals have become pagan orgies of idolatrous blasphemy, where they pray to the dunghill gods of Sodom and play taps to a fallen fool,’ states a press release posted on the church’s website.”

They may not have violated any constitutional laws, but they are certainly guilty of breaking every rule of decorum and common decency!

Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

Cancelling prom for the entire school to avoid doing the right thing because it would make you uncomfortable to have a same-sex couple in attendance? Way to be ignorant hicks, Mississippi. 

I’m stunned to hear they even have a policy banning same-sex couples. In the three times I went to Prom, I’m pretty sure Courtney was my “date” once, and Rebekah was my “date” twice… simply because couples tickets were cheaper. I don’t think anyone thought we were lesbians, and even if they did, or we were, it wouldn’t be any of their business! If I had children, gay or straight, who went to a school that was this discriminatory, I wouldn’t wait for the school to cancel Prom, I’d encourage them to boycott it! And I have to say, a tux would probably be much more comfortable than a poofy dress anyhow! If Diane Keaton can wear one on the red carpet, who cares if some girl in Mississippi wants to wear one to Prom?

Really, Lindsay? Egotistical much?! A) YOU are not at the same level as Oprah, Cher, Madonna… even Tyra or Angelina… I don’t know anyone who refers to you solely by your first name, and B) Don’t worry, NO ONE is confusing you with a sweet, innocent, adorably funny talking baby… though you are certainly acting childish in your quest for grasping at publicity in any way possible!
