The Food Police are coming after your kids' lunchboxes!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 14 Feb 12

The Food Police are after your kid's lunch! Apparently pre-schools and day care centers are being required to check the kids lunches. If the lunch doesn't have all the required components, the child is not allowed to eat it....

nturecamo Agreed. I think we can take care of our own kids' nutrition, thank you very much.

Obama Budget Proposal - Is It A Re-election Trick

Fatcat44 @Fatcat44 (1141) • United States 13 Feb 12

I read about Obama's budget proposal today. The main points that I understood is that he wants a 30% minimum tax on over $250,000 income. It also has over $900 billion dollars deficit in it. I think he has this out for...

nturecamo The idea is that the 30% minimum for millionaires would actually close up the loopholes in the system for those making more than a million dollars. So actually, when we talk about loopholes, this will basically get rid of the vast majority of them. In terms...

Should I save for college or just go as soon as I can?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9460) • United States 12 Feb 12

I've been out of high school for a while now and I'm thinking of trying to get my associates degree. Should I save for awhile first and go later? Or should I try and get started as soon as I can? What has been your experience? If...

nturecamo Go as soon as you can. You'll make enough later to pay off the loans you'll need to take out. If you wait, you'll miss out on several years' worth of opportunities to make a lot more money than you're making now.

Have you heard anything about the Fed's $16 trillion secret bailouts?

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 12 Feb 12

Maybe it's because I never watch television but read news online and in the paper but somehow I missed this one. http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3 Now this is not part of the...

nturecamo That's the problem with the Federal Reserve. There really isn't any oversight into it. I am more and more attracted to Ron Paul's argument that the Fed is really just tampering with the economy and that the money they hold in reserve would be much better spent...

Is blatant hypocracy in the church a reason to leave it?

deedee328 @deedee328 (1122) • United States 11 Feb 12

Hello my fellow mylotters. I have quite a dilemma. There have been a couple of instances in the church that I presently attend that make me wonder if I should be looking for a new church home. It seems to me that members of...

nturecamo Ultimately, no one can tell you whether or not to stay with this church. Keep in mind, though, that you don't have to agree with everything that your church leaders say in order to participate. In fact, I am a Buddhist and I frequently go to the church because...

Obama doesn't have the authority to do that!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 10 Feb 12

Obama has no more authority to mandate religious institutions provide the means for employees to do things that go against the institution's doctrine than he has to mandate that taxpayers fund the paychecks of pastors.

nturecamo It's true that doing so could be considered restricting the free expression of religion, in a strict interpretation, so actually you have a really good point with this.

Republican Party or Tea Party

speakeasy @speakeasy (4171) • United States 10 Feb 12

As a long time Republican, I am very disappointed that the "Tea Party" (which is not even a political party) has taken over the Republican Party. And, not even the original "Tea Party" which originally stood for fiscal...

7 responses

nturecamo I heartily agree with you (I changed my affiliation from Republican to Democrat in 2010 during the whole beginning of the tea party movement). A political party can get infiltrated and controlled by a particular group of people (in this case, tea partiers) and...

human evolution

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 11 Feb 12

I have been reading a book about humans working toward the next evolution of all humanity. In a nut shell what it says is that more and more of us are working toward a goal of spritural evolution. In this next phase of humanity we...

nturecamo I am always confused by what some new-age authors mean by a spiritual evolution. I know they can't mean an actually physical evolution from one species to another. But I guess they mean more like a slow change in terms of our worldview. This wouldn't be such a...

The current generation's responsibility.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 10 Feb 12

It is the current generation’s responsibility, to preserve and deliver this beautiful planet to the next generation in as good, if not better shape than we found it. That you may say is a tall order, and it is, but it can be done...

nturecamo Reduce, resuse, recycle are some good first steps. However, there are many things that need to be done on a societal/political level. For instance, one problem is the increased carbon emissions which are likely resulting in global warming. Global warming, many...

Is Our Constitution Godless?

mrsellis @mrsellis (29) • United States 12 Dec 09

There is much debate over this topic, and I have recieved responses stating that "God or Jesus is never mentioned in our Constitution, therefore our nation was not founded under God." Arguments of this sort are uneducated and,...

1 response

nturecamo The constitution was, of course, written by individuals who, although I haven't personally researched them, I can assumed were all at least deistic in their beliefs (to them, there was a rational God who did not meddle in the affairs of humans). And, of...
