Please explain the link between the pill and vegetarianism

Thanks to others for noticing why I was offended. Anyways, forget it...I wasn't expecting a response.  Hope you all can get out and vote next week without incident (if you haven't already)!

On fb, if you don't specify it in your privacy settings, anyone can see your status, even if your profile is private.  If I remember the article correctly, he did not have his boss as a friend.

-Sorry, the article I read was translated and did not make explicit that the guy had his boss as a friend. This information just makes him seem more ignorant. If he knew his boss was a friend, then why did, he put that on facebook??

Obama: he has monkey ears and he reminds me of hitler.

Umm, this Hitler reference is scary. Could you elaborate on why you feel this way? 

because of how charismatic he is, and how he tries to make everyone believe we should tax the wealthy and "spread around the money." not only would it make the economic situation worse but the idea of equal money amongst the people is part of socialism.

 How can spreading around the money make the economy worse?? And what does Hitler have to do with economy.  The only connection is the word socialist.  Americans throw it around like it's a dirty word without knowing anything about the ideology, or the practice.  Many European countries have thrived (yes, economically!) on socialist governments.  Look at Scandinavia, especially Sweden.  Aside from that, Obama's policy is nothing near socialism.  So I still don't get your connection with Hitler.  And I find your remarks about his ears bordering on racism.

Loved a lot of the names on here. One I've come across that I really like is Alise/Alyce.  Very soft and not as strong as Alice or Elise. And also quite original.

Gay Marriage: Fine, America should get with the times.

Abortion: Yes, the choicce should be there.

Obama: Voted already...

Mccain: Heck no, PTSD

Jesus: Belive he was a real person, but not responsible for everything ascribed to him.

Evolution : Definitely

Global Warming : Believe it is manmade

George W.: BIG MISTAKE

Sex Before Marriage: Do it

The Drinking Age: 18

Pot: it's not that bad, focus on something else, like REAL drugs or violence against women

The War: terrible, end it

Meat: it's ok, but people should respect vegetarians and vice versa

Tattoos: love em, as long as they mean something to the person

The Devil: doesn't exist

Ghosts: don't exist

Aliens: isn't any proof yet, but who knows

Censorship:books, music, movies...Let's hope it will end

Magic: don't believe in it

Love: Oh yes

Religion: Organized religion has caused most of the problems of history, including those we are embroiled in today

Thanks firebrand, I guess I shoulda worded my post differently.  I am not really lonely, it was just a way to introduce my post.  I think it's interesting to see where people end up in life, and I was curious to see how many people on here live in another country.  So do you all use the calorie counting tool and have to add in the different (foreign) products you use?

thanks all for your replies and good luck.

Jules, I understand that. When I get into discussions with pro-lifers, it has always turned into an "I'm right (pro-life) and you're wrong" kinda thing.  I don't think that a woman's choice should be taken away, especially considering cases like rape and/or incest. I am not saying I am right in my views, but have difficulty understanding SOME pro-lifers' arguments. And I don't try to push my opinion on others, which I have been confronted with too much.  I just believe the option should be there, and that McCain should be focusing on other topics.

Completely in agreement with you, Christine. The political situation right now is very scary, in my opinion.  Look forward to some other responses here.
