How can you read this and NOT support the death penalty?

andy77e @andy77e (5156) • United States 18 Dec 11

This is sick, people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16236866 Ok, quick recap. Dude gets gloves, lighter fluid, a mask, a BBQ style lighter. He sits outside an elevator, and waits. A 73 year old lady get in...

theknute Gotta love how you straight shoot there! We will never have to wonder where you stand about something. That is sick and I agree completely. Frankly, that is why I don't watch/read the news. I don't wanna know all the junk people do. YIKES! Death...

The incompetent press is really at it again here.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 18 Dec 11

They are announcing that Gov. Walker is cutting funding for cancer screening. What the budget he just signed does is balance the budget. There is nothing in the bill that said, "Cancer Screening". What it did cut was funding to...

theknute It is amazing to me how the left twists things around all the time. Truth is not the main thing in politics; getting reelected and raising money for pet interests is the main thing. It is clear to me (and hopefully to many others) that it is time for...

theknute I could not agree with you more, Evan. An unborn child is as innocent as you can get. Yet many liberals want to do away with the death penalty, which punishes someone who has usually killed multiple people or has committed premeditated murder, they are all for...

New Jersey unions really are banking on the stupidity of members

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 18 Dec 11

So I got this stupid flier from the union that I'm forced to be a member of. It says how we must do everything we can to block Chris Christie's legislation that would weaken public sector unions. As an example it points out that,...

theknute I have never felt great about unions, and this just reinforces my belief. The economy doesn't help any as well. How do you feel about how the Wisconsin governor handled things with unions in his state?

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 16 Dec 11

theknute If it weighs that heavy on you, you could start something yourself. I am guessing your office is large and you could not do all the recycling all by yourself. But you could bring in a bin and when it fills up, take it to be recycled. You could also ask them...

"The Truth Hurts".

thetis74 @thetis74 (1524) 11 Jul 11

There is a saying that the truth hurts. Would you rather be lied to or want the truth to be told? As for me, it hurts more to be lied to. What is your view on this. Thank you!

theknute I hate being lied to. When I find out someone lied, I get upset. I view it as a huge disrespect. The phrase "The truth hurts," is usually used as a thinly veiled excuse to say something that is less then kind or tactful.

Are Successful/Working Women Arrogant?

preethaanju @preethaanju (3000) • India 11 Jul 11

theknute I do not think that attitude is as prevalent in the US, where I live. I do not think successful women are arrogant most of the time. It may be that the working culture for women in the US is a bit different than in India.
