I just don't understand what was going through the mind of the mother or the abuser. why in the world would someone be attracted to a child? What kind of sick mind allows a person to find an innocent child attractive like that? Are they so deranged that they only can think of themselves and to use another person for what ever sick desires they feel? DO they have no compassion or conscience to p...

I'll believe it when i see it. I agree that making vaccines can be worrisome especially if they don't test them long enough. I don't get the flu shots either but then I don't have much exposure to it either. I think they too often rush things out and don't make sure the vaccines are safe. It's all about the money they will make and it isn't really about the cost of human lives.

Why? What are these people thinking? Palin would make a better comedian than a serious political candidate. I honestly cannot understand her appeal. There are so many other political people who deserve that sort of admiration but I just don't get it with Palin. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is twice the woman and loaded with a whole lot more intelligence.

The only reservation I have is if the health care program is run like other government programs not only will it cost more but it will create a lot of frustration for people. The other government programs need to be overhauled and it should be easier for people to get the help they need. Many countries with national health care make it very simple to get health care. They don't have to "qua...

He really overstepped his boundaries. He is a scum bag who would sell his mother if he thought he could make money doing it. It's sad that celebrities have no private life. They entertaine us and then they are dishonored by people who want to make money off of their hard work. Fame is stupid anyway. People idolize other people and they are just that...other people doing a job.

I know the cigarette companies are to blame for manipulating the public, but people have to take responsibility for their stupidity too. It has been printed on the label of cigarette packages that smoking is dangerous to your health an d people still buy cigarettes and smoke them. I don't think ANYONE who started smoking AFTER the warning was put on the labels should get any compensation at all...

8 hours ago
I am appalled that such a caring man would be fired because he cared enough to complain. The reason no one signs up for th emilitary is because the military doesn't care about their soldiers. Obama promised to care. I am surprised he has done nothing about this situation other than allowing a good doctor to be fired. It's strange that a Major in the military who communicated with a terrorist...

We are a country of middlemen. We don't manufacture much any more because the labour is cheaper in other countries. The truth is, people in this country can't afford to live here and live on minimum wage. CNN showed where the CEO and top management people in this country made millions even while cutting the salaries and retirement of their employees. Something needs to be done about this. It...

I don't know how the fish can keep up with the demand. The population just keeps growing and people are certainly big time consumers. We eat so much and use so much of the world's food supply. Most animals only eat until they are full or eat what they need, but humans overeat and waste so much. It is the future generations that will suffer if this generation doesn't manage the food supply a ...

I am really wondering about that. How can a cell phone charger use more electricity than a big screen television? Sometimes I wonder where they get all these "facts"? Maybe they do, but it would surprise me.
