Political Correctness

Sorry, Monte........ The failure of this country is not about lack of prayers, lawsuits, or high taxes. It’s about the growing disparity of wealth, job insecurity, more guns, selfish disregard for others, and the central conservative value that “I am the only one that matters”.

I can see what you're saying about people being selfish and greed. However, Celtics I think you should not be apologizing to me. You need to apologize to HB! That comment you made about the rape was way out of line. Maybe you didn't mean it in a certain way I don't know, but what I do know is that most reading it took it the way that I did which was insulting.

wealth is earned in one form or another. Those that dont have it are jealous and will do anything to put down those who succeed.

Job insecurity is cause by ppl who for whatever reason cant keep up with those who are at or ahead of pace. If you want security try a little harder.

more guns makes the world safer. Guns dont kill people.....people kill people. The gun is just an instrument.

selfish disregard for others......only thing in life that has disregard for people is government. People help people everyday. Whether its looking after someone's kid while parents are at work. Or picking up something for someone while at the grocery store or checking on a friends home while there on vacation or picking up a drunk friend at a bar in the middle of the night. How often does the govt do any of thee above??

You're proud of yourself aren't you...

Economics:The point is not that free market economies are bad, but too much of anything is not good.....A secure job with a future that pays well enough to support a family should be available for many more than it is right now. These people haven't chosen to be unemployed.


Guns: Americans shoot each other at such a greater rate than in any other civilized country. Look back in your life and recall all the confrontations you have witnessed or possibly been a part of and ask yourself if any of those situations would have been better resolved had one or both parties had gun in their hand.

Selfishness: The total lack of ability to see things from any point of view but your own. Starting wars, denying unemployment benefits, forgetting the homeless, and demeaning blacks, gays and immigrants is all a product of the conservative mentality... I bet you every asshole you knew when you were a kid is a conservative today.

When was it that selfishness, bigotry, intolerance, and gun waving became the epicenter of our value system?

I think HB owes the parents of the raped children an apology for wanting to put a price, a small price, on their lives and peace of mind....

If you truly feel this way then you are such an idiot on so many levels I don't know where to start. The easiest point is that your whole rape premise is off. TORT REFORM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DOCTORS RAPING KIDS, is anyone really that stupid? Tort reform deals with malpractice and putting limits on accidents that happen in MEDICAL procedures, not rapes and murders.

About 1.5 inches of snow here yesterday,what about you Harold?

HB, WHAT DO YOU THINK TORT REFORM IS? Wiki: " Tort is a system for compensating wrongs and harm done by one party to another's person, property or other protected interests...Tort reform refers to proposed changes in the civil justice system that would reduce tort litigation or damages."

HB conservative leaders like Limbaough and Hannity and Genghis Khan want tort reform ACCROSS THE BOARD. Tort reform does NOT only refer to malpractice... If you think it only has to do with healthcare or medical procedures then you're wrong.

ANYWAY, why are you so excited to protect these insurance companies and doctors that fuck up...... Doctors have malpractice insurance.... My father wasn't sued once in the 31 years he practiced.... And studies have clearly documented that TORT accounts for about %2 of health insurance costs.

Thanks for making my point. Last I checked rape is criminal, not civil.

Really, well what did OJ get sued for....... Let me remind you, for wrongful death or MURDER.... Which is criminal but he was held responsible in a civil court. What was your point again? and I'm sorry for using the wrong words to make my point about tort reform.. For the 2nd time, OF COURSE I DONT WISH YOUR CHILD WAS RAPED BY ANYONE. It was just the most up to date current event that I thought of at the time...
