I object strenuously to your use of the word
murdered in “your” #1 item. It is a bias that renders all of your other “facts” questionable.

I’ll be amazed if you publish this.

All you bible thumpers – what IF there is no God? Nobody to save you. Nobody to dispense justice. Maybe it is because you lay – back and think God will punish those evil doers, and nothing gets done.
Get off your asses and do something cause even if there is a God, He ain’t taking care of buisness. IT IS UP TO YOU TO ACT.

Disgusted American, I can sleep at night because of one very simple fact: I don’t believe in God. I am also for selective procreation and involuntary sterilization for most of the idiots out there. Too many stupid people, making more stupid people. Chris, more people like you need to be around, you said it much better than I could have. Before anyone asks, I do not have children or want them, I believe that there are too many here and too many being had. For crying out loud, instead of adding to the overpopulation problem that no one seems to want to acknowledge, here is an idea, ADOPT!

The insanity posted on this blog is mind blowing. The amount of ignorance the majority of the people are spewing is unfathomable. The country may have been founded on Christianity because Christianity was and is the dominant religion in the country but it is not and never was a Christian nation. We were founded as a Democratic nation where people have the right to choose what they do and do not believe in (and perhaps the Founding Fathers overestimated a lot of people being able to handle the ability to choose without being led around like sheeple). You don’t have to be a bible thumper to be a moral upright citizen and do what you believe is your heart is right, only a in ideologue blindly follows anything without questioning it. We’re a nation of philosophers and if people weren’t so fundamentally ignorant in respect and right of others to choose things for themselves because they, themselves, can’t handle the choice for themselves, we would actually be in a much better place than we all now. This doesn’t make the other people any more or less culpable because they themselves choose poorly. Abortion is not murder but to any moral person they should realize that it is not and should not be considered a form of birth control and should only be acceptable in the cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is threatened by the pregnancy. You all need to take your hands off your ears and stop screaming your ideologies at the top of your lungs. Guess what? No one cares, and I sure as hell don’t. And I’m going to continue to make choices and do what I feel is right because I feel it is right, not because someone else told me it was right and not because I was too stupid to make my own choices for myself.

To systemscammer: Let me see two homosexuals placed on a lush island and left to survive, mate and reproduce. That would be 0 for 3. “Mate” implies the chance for increase.

The opening of this article rails against the increased socialization of our society, yet many of the 50 observations are the result of capitalism. Is the irony intentional, or can you guys not decide which side of the fence you want to sit on?

We have a right to choose What is right for our future and I’ll be damned if I let my child grow up poor on food stamps (use a condom people!!!). Stop having babies if you cant afford it. All you are doing is making slaves for the corporations. Stop making the tax payers pay ridiculous amounts of money. Start voting locally where it really counts and help fix this country! Down with the IRS! Viva La Revolution. Also to the writer ~ Bias much?

God and spirituality has been taken right out of our daily lives. It’s supposed to be the most important thing in our lives. That constant dialogue with God. Living as Jesus did. Acting with your highest thought of self. Every action in love.
Man gained “power” forgot about what is really the most important- God and your communion with him. I’m not implying being God fearing, but how do some people sleep at night. Or knowing what they’ve done, knowing they’re gonna meet their maker? or by not aknowleding God, then what, he doesn’t exist? God has been taken out of In God we trust. It’s become who ever has the most power, money and the furthest reaching hands is driving the bus now. Think about what motivates, truly motivates the actions taken by our fellow Americans. Money? Power? Greed? The attitude of you can never have enough of something. The scriptures quoted above, Beautiful! America does have some huge earmuffs on shouting lalalalala hoping God will just go away. It’s sad, really sad!
Go out and rekindle your relationship with God, its not like your life will get any worse. It can only get better and besides, he’s been waiting for you- patiently….

kb, buddashoes, and the rest who want to allow Murder…
Tumors? Medical Procedures? uterine contents? Please. I think you can find many many ways to justify murder, but that does not mean it is not murder. The child has individually specific DNA from the moment of conception…in other words, it is a new unique life and therefore killing this child is, in fact, Murder. Medical Procedure? Are you kidding? It will not be long before the kids of the NEXT generation will be selling themselves on this term as a justification to euthanize the elderly. I can hear it now, “come on man get with the modern world, it is a MEDICAL PROCEDURE and you are no longer a human being after you cost more to keep alive and I need you dead before you spend all the money I will get when you die” Be careful how you choose to justify your barbaric practices. We decry the death of 3-6 million Jewish people and call it a holocaust and it was; but 50 million innocent children slaughtered in the name of “choice”? I hear points such as hunger, suffering, inhumane. I am impressed that one can be killed because they MIGHT be hungry one day, because they MIGHT suffer one day, because it is MORE humane to murder a child than it is to put the child up for adoption. I wish nothing for you but what you wish on the innocent murdered children. Prior to 1973 there was over 250,000 RECORDED adoptions every year. Now there are less than 15,000 and the line, bureaucracy, and monetary cost is daunting. If only there were more babies available to adopt…but alas, there should be no adoptions. Let’s just kill it. You people are sick and need my prayers.

HG Wells you know. If the rest of these ignorant fools only had more faith. Babies being called tumors, Masons trying to twist our Founding Fathers true Christian beliefs. They can’t deal with the fact that our Constitution was totally based on Christianity. Such disturbing facts from people only deceiving themselves. Read! Learn History! Go buy the book “Ten Tortured Words,” by Stephen Mansfield. The most accurate book on our Founding Fathers. Read about the apparition of Medjugorje. Go and vist there. You will believe after such an experience. You don’t have much more time to waste. Things will get worse.

Regarding #40, pay of federal workers verses private works, three years ago when I was a GS-14 supervising contractors in the Washington D.C. area, most of my contact employees made more than I did, one of them made 50% more than I did. In Northern Virginia, the contractors make far more than the US GOV employees do on average which, at that time, resulted in a flight of government workers into contract jobs. The down side is that contractors are easy to get rid of, so they may wish they hadn’t jumped ship as the US GOV can now dump the contracts to cut costs if they so choose…
