I had a rather healthy (albeit sometimes loony) debate on my FB page about Trump's treatment of the fallen soldier's wife (after Khizr Khan's DNC speech). One friend said she sides with Trump and the Republican Party because "conservative, believing Christians are being persecuted in the US"...
Quick synopsis: a young lady allegedly drank a little more than her body was used to and ended up losing consciousness. According to the news stories, two witnesses approached the Stanford swimmer while he was sexually assaulting the young woman while she was noticeably passed out. The judge...

Smart call or hindering Trump supporters freedom of speech?
I posted a similar thread asking why anti-Semitism still exists in European countries, in pockets of the U.S., and elsewhere. In honestly appalled by it, and I would like to understand why Jews have historically been persecuted repeatedly.
The last thread got derailed with personal attacks, and...
I have no words for these scumbags. Her own family stoned her with bricks... her FATHER and brothers! What on earth has this world come to?

I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it myself. I was at Target with my mother-in-law and she purchased some Liquid Plumber, only to be asked for her ID so they could scan it.
I understand it was used in a violent way against a few people, but are we going to have to scan our ID for every...
This hit a little too close to home for me; I'm glad no one was hurt. Hate is horrible no matter which side it comes from.

Disclaimer: We are debating on the premise that the woman in NO WAY tricked this man into "getting her pregnant", i.e. pretending to be on birth control, sabotaging barrier methods, etc...
In this scenario, the woman (wife or girlfriend, doesn't matter), announces that she's pregnant. She's...
