    mawilson reacted to Mr. Big Dog in US Supports Blasphemy   
    The last prosecution that was attempted on the grounds of blasphemy in Australia dates back almost 100 years. In Germany, there were 10 prosecutions under the law over the past half century - the most recent resulted in a suspended sentence and 300 hours of community service. There is an active debate in the country to abolish the 1867 law under which certain blasphemy is prohibited. Same goes for the rest of the western world. There may be laws on the books from way back when but those laws usually don't have any teeth and are rarely, if ever, invoked.

    You know, he may not be the best on the trail but he is actually a very strong debater. He more or less came of age in conference room and board room settings, so it's not surprising he isn't the best on the road... but put him behind a podium in a nice climate controlled environment with a bottle of vitamin water and he simply can't be beat.

    PA is interesting. Philly city center is nice, then there's a layer of ####### around it and the burbs are very very nice. Once you leave the Philly burbs there are pockets of nice like parts of the lehigh valley but most of the state is absolute garbage. Especially central PA which along with the ghetto parts of Philly should just be nuked.

    That depends on whether he's "blocking out noise", such as other world leaders attending the U.N., or describing the deaths of the US Ambassador to Libya and 3 other US citizens as "bumps in the road."
    I don't rate either candidate as good debaters, when they have no forewarning of the questions or topics. I want to see a debate, not a pre-planned sequence of practiced responses. We won't get that, and that's disappointing.

    I can choose to help whomever I want to help. I can help cancer patients or animal shelters or poor children in Africa. My choice and one which doesn't make my help any less valuable or appreciated.
    Who the fuсk do you think you are, telling people their help is worthless just because they don't extend it to EVERYONE? Just wow.

    Two years? Two years is a mere blip in terms of the time required to undo the mess than has been created over decades.
    The simplistic "are you better off" is a silly soundbite. The much more important question is how to keep future generations better off.

    Sobriety is usually a "disaster" for alcoholics, but "more alcohol" is not the answer.
    Short-term pain for long-term prosperity (emphasis on pain) - a simple concept Americans seem to struggle with, yet the British people understand very well.

    When he's out then we can get back to opening our Embassies for legal business and citizens of the world can go about their day in peace.
    Of course like a rat he has gone into hiding. Why do they always run away, I mean grow a pair and stand by your convictions.
    He duped all those poor actors/actress and dubbed over the movie.
    That's the role model for Sandinista! and OnMyWayId, shameful.

    Granted, we haven't had a real debate in this country for the past several elections. Anytime you have a moderator and a 60-120 second time limit, it's not a "debate." - It's a Q&A session with the most simple of answers to appease an ignorant base.

    You were arguing that Mormon charities are less important because they help their own. You even went as far as comparing them to criminals and gangs. I take offense to that comparison - it's despicable and I didn't expect that from you.
