The next time someone tells you that you made a choice to be gay, ask them to describe the exact moment in time that they chose to be a heterosexual and what led them to their decision. They'll shut up.

Whining and displacing blame is what presidents do best. They all behave in a passive aggressive manner with regard to failure. When was the last time you heard an elected official accept personal responsibility for a government failure?

He doesn't have to know much at all about war. He has these people whose express mission is to be experts on the topic and keep him informed to advise him in matters of war. Funny how that works, huh?

MS Computer Science (completed) I'm a Libertarian.

Yes, I have an acquaintance like that. She complains about not having health insurance, yet refuses to go get a real job and lives primarily on her husband's income and what little she earns doing cash jobs. Their children are grown and out of the home, so there's no excuse about child care...

If this is a new behavior then you should take him to the vet for a routine checkup. Be sure to tell them about what behavior changes have taken place and when each began. Sudden changes in behavior can sometimes be indicative of a health issue. If this is how he's always behaved, then I...

Is there a question in here somewhere? I think man made global warming is bs, but I fail to see this post as anything but a rant.
