Yup, I'd like to see some I.Q. scores for the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Why do I want to know whether these folks are functional idiots? Well, because "Stupid is a stupid does"! Below is a...

merrydew Hello LadyLuna, It's been mostly an interesting fun, ride so far, thanks. Though a bit depressing in a way - so many opinions that I find frustrating, and based, to my mind, on base, self-serving motives. Hell is other people, as Sartre stated. :-) Anyway,...

Would you support the border fence if it meant the government could take your home and property to build it? Admittedly, not being from a border state maybe I can't understand the issue as well as those who are but I don't think...

merrydew Sure, it's a problem. Maybe a big problem for certain individuals. But I don't see it affecting very many people, proportionate to the population, and not particularly seriously. A bad economy, the health system mess, people living in poverty; these seem like...

Does it rejuvinate his campaign, or does it merely add a win to the Republican candidate who went into the Michigan Primary with the most total delegates. He now has twice the delgates (42) as 2nd place Mike Huckabee (21), but...

merrydew You make a good point. Provided he wasn't perceived as a loser along the way. Perception seems to be a factor.

Mitt Romney finally wins someplace besides Wyoming. I guess when you concentrate on something...plus he grew up there. I guess we shall see in South Carolina.

merrydew Yeah. And there have been many waves of immigrants in the country's history. If the government wasn't screwing up the economy so badly, immigration would not be seen as such a big problem. They're just a easy target, and a distraction from the real issues,...

I watched Balls of Fury last night. 2 thumbs down for me. So boring. Did you like it if you saw it? If not which movie dissapointed you this year or last year?

merrydew Wow, I loved 'Talladega Nights', mrsjbelle (though not 'Blades of Glory'). But I also liked 'Superbad', so our comedy tastes are not totally opposite. 'Nacho Libre' was another disappointing comedy, btw. Funny in parts, but mostly just too silly.

merrydew I've thought of another movie that disappointed me this year - Shrek 3. I really liked the first two, but this one seemed quite lame in comparison.

merrydew No problem. Hopefully I didn't sound like I was being critical. Just trying to understand the question and to provide an answer. Your post seemed to be about a certain type men rather than men in general. Otherwise a biological definition, such as was provided...

For all you registered voters out there, yesterday's New Hampshire race was certainly energetic. Yet, what does it mean for the overall election? I found the Fox exit polling to be absolutely fascinating! Here are the polling...

Alright todays topic of discussion is welfare. A lot of people seem to be in the same mind to cut out the welfare or limit that you should only have two children to qualify for welfare or that no matter how many are in the family...

merrydew Thanks. I don't think anyone should feel guilty about accepting welfare, provided they're unable to work or there is no job available that covers their basic cost of living. That's a failure of the system, and it seems fair that the government helps them out...
