McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate
Many readers have written to tell us about McCain's choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP choice. "Palin, 44, a self-described 'hockey mom,' is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with strong anti-abortion views, a record of reform and fiscal conservatism and an outsider's perspective on Washington. [...] If elected, Palin would be the first woman US vice president, adding another historic element to a presidential race that has been filled with firsts. Obama, 47, is the first black nominee of a major US political party. The choice of a vice president rarely has a major impact on the presidential race. Palin will meet Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a debate in October."
For the first time, we will have a vice-president that looks good naked!
Why, without your clothes, you're naked, Miss Dudley!
(3) Palin's 5th child, in the womb, was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome, but she kept him anyway.
and did she ask the child about this ? guess not. how could she, after all, s/he is in the womb yet.
let me tell you, if i was a child, i wouldnt like to be born with down syndrome, or any other kind of serious disability, and i would regret being the child of a mother who would make me live through such a tough life due to her out of touch conditioned ideas that come from some teaching from 3000 years ago from another goddamn corner of the world - middle east. yea, not 2000, 3000. it is a cultural trait of the region to repress women and use them as birthing machines not for 1000, 2000, but for over 4000 years in middle east. it only changes shape with time, adapts to modern times. they were outright despised and seen as satan at one point, and now they are repressed because 'they cant understand'. and ALL the religions out of middle east contain that characteristic.
imagine being the child of a mother who follows these ideals and puts you through a life of suffering, whereas she had the chance of NOT doing so.
why did she do that ? because GOD said it so.
where did god say it so ?
in some scripted text that is rewritten in council of nicea in 325 AD, according to byzantine emperor constantine's political wishes. (the 4 major versions of bible were compiled here, and others discredited).
great.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. If someone who worked for me had a subordinate who was abusing his position, and failed to act, I'd ask them WTF they were doing, why, and if the answer didn't satisfy me, they'd be gone too. If I'm held responsible for the actions of those who report to me (I am), then I'm damn well going to make sure that they're responsible for that trust. If the cop reported to cop-boss, who reported to me, and they messed up bad, and cop-boss refused to fire him for it, I'd fire cop-boss. It's about accountability. No different than in my field where, say, a sysadmin does something stupid and causes (problem). If his team-lead didn't whack him hard, I'd have to whack them both. That's how leadership and accountability work.
