Latrivia I find it disgusting that any state would force a woman to get consent from her husband for any medical procedure - abortion included. It is not the man who is carrying the fetus, so legally he should have no say. Besides, such a law provides an abusive...

spalladino Many times people commit suicide because they are in so much pain that they can't take the thought of going on another day. The pain could be physical or emotional. People who suffer from depression are particularly at risk for suicide if something hurtful...

tigertang I don't think its so much an issue of social benefits but availability to easy credit that has lead to the decrease of savings in many Western Countries, particularly in the USA. Banks make it easy for people who are not really credit worthy to have credit...

jakesmum I'm going to be laughing so hard when your country is taken over by Barak Obama. The red-neck republicans won't know what to do, and even some of the democrats won't know what's hit them. How many of them say 'I'm not racist, but...' Yeah right you're...
