POPSSerious Corporal Punishment - For Pants? Many "morality" laws like this are the result of assigning blame for crimes like rape to the victims instead of the perpetrators. IMO, it is immoral not to speak out against this barbaric behavior. Whether the autonomous countries act on others moral outrage is for them to decide.

POPSMatthew Yglesias: Conservatives Against Being Against Racism And it’s not just a quirk of Beck’s. This attitude goes deep in the DNA of the modern conservative movement. National Review’s position on Civil Rights was that segregation was bad, but the cure of the civil rights movement was worse than the disease of white supremacy. Barry Goldwater campaigned for president on the proposition that Jim Crow might be bad, but not nearly so bad as the Civil Rights Act. As the policy status quo shifted, the precise nature of the conservative position changed with it so that now affirmative action is worse than discrimination against minorities and “political correctness” is worse than racism, but the basic spirit is the same.

POPSCorruption in Texas Beer It’s not like the state forbids bakeries from selling bread–or, for that matter, wineries from selling wine. But in Texas, the beer distributors give money to hundreds of state officeholders and candidates from both parties, allowing them to gut any revision to the state’s alcoholic beverage code that would reduce their business.

POPSSo Be It From the most attractive ] blog (yes, debby noticed *lol* and I wouldn't be debby if I didn't. She brings up a good question and that is something I've always wondered. Why do we all try to fit in and it seems we never try to celebrate the differences in others? IMHO that is what is interesting about people, and who wants everyone to be the same old boring stuffy? I'll be standing outside of that box right beside Wurdzgurl and :) Anyone else is welcome to join. We tend to have the most fun of any crowd. PS Wurdzgurl? Drop me an email, say once a year? :lol:

POPSWinston Churchill: First Man on the Moon. Gavin Quirk, of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, which commissioned the survey in conjunction with the Royal Astronomical Society, said: "It's a bit of a worry to find that children don't know who the first man on the moon is, let alone that they don't know who led the country to victory in the Second World War. "And I think it is definitely time to get back to the classroom if our school children think of Mars firstly as a chocolate bar."

POPSReligion/Science - Oil/Water No matter what mental rationalization you've thought up the bottom line is that science and religion are at odds with one another. Ask anyone who has waded through the tortured reasoning of theists to reconcile their beliefs with scientific facts knows that believing in talking snakes, burning bushes, Jewish zombies, or virgin births has to forgo reality and enter a world of myth and fairy tales. Ordinarily this could be viewed as simply a character quirk. But unfortunately it has wider reaching consequences. We are dumbing down our children because of irrational belief in a bronze age culture's view of the world. In our society, ignorance is thought charming while intelligence is "elitism". How ass backwards is this?
