Foreigner said, -- Wall street bankers have Master's degrees, are responsible for the correct handling of millions of dollars of other people's money, and must have vast amounts of financial, legal, and investment information at their fingertips at any one time. So, they have to be...

Hammerstone, you generate some very interesting considerations. I will only comment on a couple. When you say "So they're generating wealth, but it's not passed on to the population," I would agree that is true for the general population, however it is passed on to those within the population...

-- Wall street bankers have Master's degrees, are responsible for the correct handling of millions of dollars of other people's money, and must have vast amounts of financial, legal, and investment information at their fingertips at any one time. The salary for that justifiably trumps the...

From Dinesh D'Souza: "A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I...

-- You started the thread. Should you not then actually support what you post? The very things I posted show that you have proven nothing. Don't like what I posted? Awesome. Show where what I said was incorrect. -- Did you really miss the fact that your first post contained FIVE seperate...

-- Actually, in this case, you are indeed incorrect. Paul said to the Romans: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," - Rom 3:23 Paul was speaking present tense, after Christ had already been murdered and rose again. In order for you to be correct, that post-Resurrection...

-- Pennsylvania went for Mr. Obama in 2008 and looks like they will go for him again, yet more than 50 percent of Democrats in the state support the law. Poll Finds Strong Support for New Pennsylvania Voter ID Law A recent poll by the Inquirer Pennsylvania regarding the state's...

-- Excellent point. Al Gore made the observation in the mid-90s that there are a larger percentage of Americans now classified as "poor" and eligible for public assistance than when Welfare was first instituted in the 60s. He stressed what LBJ said in that for the majority of those on the...

-- Oh.....so close. SOME people on gov't assistance are lazy. MILLIONS by the gov'ts own estimate. They were easily identified under Clinton when they were told they would have to provide some sort of work (painting, picking up garbage, cleaning, etc.) instead of sitting at home month after...

-- Opinions like this are always so simplistic to those who have never had to deal with difficulties associated with this in their own lives. There are women who, due to physical issues or other medical problems, would be risking their very lives by carrying a child, let alone go through the...

Not true in the least. Many here think it should not be spent on those who have the ability to find work and support themselves but choose not to because they can live off of gov't money. The distinction between those that truly need (and thus deserve gov't assistance) and those that are...

Rand, your observation and contrast of John and Peter in this specific dichotomy is very interesting. Gave me a new way to look at things. Thanks.

James, Aspen is well are of the programs for the poor. It has been pointed out to him that there are millions on the program that are currently in need and deserve the assistance, millions of others on the programs should not be and that it is costing the US tax payers at least 100 Billion...

Perhaps occasionally, but..... 10 Worst Popes of all time Pope Stephen VI: had his predecessor exhumed, tried, de-fingered, and thrown to the river Stephen VI was Pope from 896 to 897. Fueled by his anger with Pope Formosus, his predecessor, he exhumed Formosus's rotting corpse and put...

-- Only if God wanted pedophile, adulterous, thieving, murdering people on "the throne." Apparently, you agree.

-- Aspen, please grow up. I never said Catholics, specifically Cardinals weren't Christ's followers or implied they "cornered the market on politics." Just because you don't like the correct answer is no reason to dishonestly say what the answer is implying. I am commenting on the Catholic...

-- I am glad you agree.

The Catholic church has always held that the selection of the Pope is divinely influenced. They obviously can't admit it is a matter of simple repetitive voting based on lobbying, political alliances, personal influence and potential personal gains that goes on until someone has gained that...

-- So your "are about to be" and "is about to be" ......are likely not "about to be." Thanks for clearing that up.

-- So.....you are attempting to converse with earthly spirits that have since departed. Uh huh..... Seem to recall a name for that. Still, here is where that idea falls apart. There is nothing Biblical that shows this practice is possible, let alone accepted. But let's pretend that they can...
