Well, the way I see it personally, most of the wealthy, have great regard for life, at least until they reach the age of one, after that.... You shouldn't have resonable access to healthcare, School vouchers... Why do you need them? College, let's make it so awefully painful, that most teen will start to dream of going into the military, so in essence, life is only important to keep a wedge issue going every four years..... In my opinion they want to almost befriend you when you are 18, so you can become "cannon fodder".... Then when you get out of your two or three tours, then.. it's tough luck again, there's skid row, thanks for the service to your country, sound tough?? life is... the Catholics need to remember their past also, "The Crusades" killed a lot of people also.
Its amazing to me how hypocritical the catholic church and its followers can be. On one hand they fully support wars, look the other way on their own abuse of young boys by their so call leaders and have been responsible for some of the biggiest atrocities against other humans that differed in vews from their own. To have the audacity to now protest because Obama is going to speak at Notre Dame and he is an abortion supporter is very laughable. There is a bible verse that says 'let him without sin cast the first stone'. The catholic church and its blindly following sheeple are in no position to place judgement! are you kidding me...lol
Its funny how people never see things that ar so obviously wrong and corrupt when it is masked in the name of God...God himself I believe would be disgusted by the lack of use of the amazing brain he created us with.
I just saw a segment where the government is once more touting the fact that cannabis is stronger today than it used to be. When you all air those stories I would like you to also point out that cannabis still is non toxic and does not kill you, unlike cigarettes and alcohol, our societies chosen and protected vices.
People go to the emergency room because they are paranoid, not because there is a medical emergency endangering their life. This plant has been lied about long enough, it's time to tell the truth and eliminate the slanting propoganda.
