Hi everyone. I don't generally feel anything until noon; then it's time for my nap.
I am from Samoa and now teach English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "d, cheap aceon, soma effects, order tricor, smoking pot and taking ritalin, cheap phentermine mg."
Thanks :o. Keith.

Good afternoon. The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.
I am from Mexico and also am speaking English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Synthroid no prescription! Fast and discreet shipping synthroid worldwide."
Waiting for a reply :o, Jeffrey.

Quite simply, Jesus said 'let your yes mean yes. |Let your no mean no. Anything eles is from Satan.' 'You cannot serve two masters, either you will hate the one and serve the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.' Sage words, strong words, clear words, true words. We should expect these from all of our politicians and then hold them all accountable! In the end, God will hold them accountable for their doings and their ommissions of doing good- as He will all of us! God have mercy upon us all!\

Isn't our government great.
Justice is raped.Our leaders corrupt.
So grim. So true. So real.
I can't believe the price we pay.
Those who seek the truth are contempt.
Money tips the scales.Nothing can save us.
Justice is lost.Justice is done.

Yeah, she has a plan, right.
1.Shut down all the Crisis Pregnancy Centers.
2.Drive all health care workers with a conscience out of a job.
3. Mandate abortion and contraceptive coverage with our taxes.
4. Remove malpractice liability for abortionists.
5. Tax funded assisted suicide, but no coverage for health care of sick or elderly.
Now this will really advance the well-being of women and children!
MURDER is not health care.

Her argument is quite dubious. Why do politicians like her never discuss the huge increase in abortions since its legalization.
This whole "banning it won't work" is a way to dismiss the debate about the right to life and impose the right to choose. lets says this: making it completely legal just does not work, there's plenty f evidence to support this. Why is Sebelius against reasonable restrictions? Because she's not pro-life.

Damn, this woman summed up my beliefs EXACTLY.
I too believe that abortion is wrong, but banning it won't work.

Wait! I just re-read Sebelius' comments above and will have to retract a statement I made below. I said that I "have seen no evidence of a long-term strategy to help support these women."
Scratch that.
Sebelius has a plan.
She is going to try and "promote a culture of life, by helping women and families get the support they need when facing unexpected pregnancies" This is something I'm sure with which we all agree.
And that by creating "employment opportunities, access to health care and support networks for women and children...quality schools, increasing access to affordable health care for expectant mothers and their babies, creating jobs that pay fair wages and creating additional incentives for adoption" that we could actually, possible, just maybe, help alleviate many of the pressures these pregnant women face that would drive them to have an abortion in the first place. A very sane approach indeed.
You guys should rethink this whole devil-tounge-damnation-we-hate-her-but-pray-for-her approach to our leaders. It just doesn't work. You have to walk down the mountain, you can't just jump off the cliff.

Sure, people on this blog claim that "there is help." But for many who are in desperate situations there is not really help over the long-term: financial, physical, mental health, etc. I love the "statistics" around how women feel "rushed" and uncertain...isn't this just the nature of being pregnant and having your life change overnight? Hello!? Also that they "felt pressure". No doubt, talk about a pressure-creating situation! It would come from many fronts, I'm sure. Just as many commenting here would apply as much pressure as they could to make her bring the child into the world at all costs to her and the lives around her and the life of the child itself. But no, you say, there is help. For who? For how long? I simply have seen no evidence of a long-term strategy to help support these women. Sure help them up to delivery and throw them some formula and a onesie or two, but that's it. People, wake up! We have enough troubles in this world to deal with and far enough people, I might add. Forcing people who don't want to have a child is an awful survival plan for our species. Not only is it costly to all of us who are trying to compete for limited resources but it encourages a Nanny State where we must help support children who already have strikes against them as they were born to ill prepared parents (or usually just mothers)! Abortion is simply a line we draw in the moral code. Kinda like it's ok to go "murder" all those awful "terrorists", but no, that's "war" not murder. Right. Perhaps you say though that we are being protected against those who would harm us thus warring is acceptable. Well, guess what, I believe that women who have abortions are also protecting us all from having to deal with their unwanted children and odd social situations poorly planned families would thrust upon us all.
By the way, this whole smear campaign over Sebelius is the lamest opportunistic load garbage I have seen in a while from the pro-lifers. The woman has not just made abortion more legal or anything. She has been offered an appointment to try to manage the COMPLETELY broken health care system, which surely impacts all of us way more directly than the abortion controversy. So suck it up and try and pay attention to the issues actually being debated by Americans.
