To continue the growing debate that's in the wrong forum. Abortion: how do you feel about it? What are your views? Pro-life? Pro-choice? This should be a safe environment for people to share their opinions without being chastised or harrassed or "yelled at" for their views. Please stay respectful. Thanks! I'll start... to me, abortion is a woman's choice. No ...

Due to the recent influx of news around about the upcoming presidential election in the United States and to avoid having a bunch of useless and similar topics I have created this thread.

You will not ...

Hi Everyone!! I hope you're OK. Cook County Sheriff says - "No Foreclosure Evictions on MY Watch!!" Click on THIS to read the story. Sure - he IS breaking the law.

So, it's still going on (where I am, at least ), but what do you think? Personally, I can't stand Sarah Palin. She turns everything back to being a soccer mom, being one of the people.
