SO - the sum total of the U.S. definition of "morality" is hating on gays and controlling women
Nevermind that we've created 4.5 million orphans in Iraq (as of 2008) with our illegal occupation and invasion of that country based on LIES.

Nevermind that there are 37.3 million++ people living in poverty in the U.S. (2007 figures)

Nevermind that 45.7 million++ people are living in the U.S. without heath insurance coverage or health care (2007 figures).

Nevermind that 44 million (thereabouts, I believe) people DIE every year from having no health care, insufficient health care or DENIED health care by for-profit insurance companies.

Nevermind that 3.5 million US residents (about 1% of the population), including 1.35 million children, have been homeless for a significant period of time in the U.S.

Nevermind the the U.S. is one of THE biggest polluters in the World but the country that expends the LEAST effort towards reducing climate change.

All THAT is fine and dandy, junky-dory, yee-haa.

But goddamn we gotta CONTROL them wimmin (NO birth control, NO abortion, or ANY type of reproductive choice and daggone it Domestic Violence is a pre-existing condition so we're not going to cover that either -- and NO health insurance coverage for those things either -- but we WILL cover Viagra and ED treatments)

...and we gotta keep them daggone GAYS from getting married don't we?

American "morality" - ya just can't beat it with a stick, can you? Are we the BEST or what? :sarcasm:

Pffft!

"God DAMN America" eh? Well. Maybe he should.

The results are still early, but Maine, California and even Oregon think you are full of shit.

6. Seriously wo/man, you don't have to swear at me.
I am trying to make the OP feel better -- just because the ASSHOLES have nothing but hate doesn't mean all of America is full of it. And I don't give up on those three states either, just because some ASSHOLES spend a lot of money to mislead people this time it doesn't mean it is going to work everytime.

But swear at me if you must,

That has nothing to do with intellect.

19. Conservatives want their morality in your bedroom
Thom Hatrmann said it best. Liberals care about public morality and conservatives about private morality.

27. Their "morality" is entirely focused around sex
Hate and punish homosexuals who have sex, hate and punish women who have sex....these are the most repressed individuals on the planet.

But fine with child molesters? What a odd disconnect.

30. MJ is NOT a child molester
Please educate yourself before making such claims. You are ignorant and have swallowed whole the media's definition of him and the claims of extortionists.

There is no disconnect. Michael Jackson has more morals than our government and most people in the U.S. do or ever have. REAL morals.

Get a damn clue.

31. Yeah, he's famous. Like Polanski.
He's above the laws and morals of us regular people.

So you would have let your kids share his bed for a "sleepover"?

32. YOU need to learn to READ and educate yourself...you're acting like an ignorant Republican
Edited on Mon Nov-09-09 03:56 AM by Triana
Someone is NOT acquitted on 14 counts of much of anything if they're guilty. MJ was NOT GUILTY - of anything. Why do you think he was? Because the MEDIA said so? The court and the jury DID NOT because it was clear the prosecution had NO CASE and he was innocent. Get the damn transcripts and read them. Get Aphrodite Jones book (Conspiracy) and Geraldine Hughes' book (Redemption) and read those. Or do you disbelieve all that BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME FROM THE MEDIA?

Polanski WAS guilty. He admitted it and thinks he ought to be exonerated. MJ was accused by extortionists out to get money and was NOT GUILTY - and Sneddon the Snake and the lame$tream media tried like HELL to make it seem he was. STILL didn't work.

Your inability to tell the difference between the two cases only reveals your own hatred and ignorance - not to mention your vacuum-packed mind that nothing - especially FACTS - can enter ••• and not to mention your OWN IMMORALITY.

Michael Jackson had better morals than YOU do too, obviously. With such morals, hatred and ignorance, you ought to join the Republican't Party. You'd fit right in.

Good luck with that, ya ignorant hater. Buh-bye. :hi: (maybe learn to read someday, eh?)
