HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — The prosecutor in a Texas county where authorities say a woman hanged herself in a jail cell said Monday that it is too soon to determine exactly how she died and that the ongoing case is being treated as thoroughly "as it would be in a murder investigation."

Russia realized they would never be a true surface naval power and gave up. They can meet their national security needs (not to mention territorial grabs) without a great surface navy. China on the other hand, may have delusions of grandeur about challenging US supremacy in the Pacific. Not any...
While you don't know me and I certainly believe that I value life, I'm an atheist who supports limited abortion rights. I don't know exactly where the line should be drawn, but I think that should be the discussion. I'll admit that emotions play a part in my beliefs. I find late term...
Not all life is equal...Stepping on an ant is not the same as torturing a dog to death. Discovery of a single cell organism on another
planet would be amazing, yet that doesn't make it equal to a human life. The pro choice people you are confronting must not be very bright, because my head...
It's just a snapshot in time. The numbers will eventually reverse and some day, a long time from now, people who would deny service to gays will be looked upon as we now look upon those who would deny service to blacks.
Make red state dems vote against tax reform. Make them vote against defunding the irs. Can't remember ever seeing the republicans stand on principle. It's always about winning the next election and never about doing what's right.
I think that trade bill was all about follow the money. Big business and big banking wanted it passed so it got passed. I think that's usually the case when republican leadership and Obama are on the same side.
Maybe they wouldn't, but why not fight the good fight? Make Obama veto popular tax reform. Defund wasteful spending. Show me that you want to do the right thing and maybe I'll believe in you. But no, they don't want to take any risks, they just want to run against obamas record and hope for...
I, for one, wish pajamas were considered business casual. I won't wear them to a restaurant, because I'm not trying to be a non conformist, but I wish I could. The only time I wear them outside the house is for a quick trip to a convenience store, but I would wear them everywhere if I could...
Republicans have controlled both houses of congress for over 6 months and what have they done to make government smaller? Nothing. Instead we get more silliness and redundant laws. Even if they win the presidency and control congress they still won't do anything. Liberals and the press will...
It won't cure all our national ills, but yes, your vote gives credibility to a broken, corrupt system. If voting made a difference they wouldn't let you do it.

Agree, and I'm as guilty as anyone for side-tracking threads, for some reason, I just draw the line on abortion. This back and forth has me thinking about the topic so I'll find a way to share my thoughts on why it's not all black and white soon. In the mean time I'm off to play a poker...
I was genuinely surprised for the reason I originally stated, but my surprise was due to my lack of imagination, not incompatibility between Christianity and libertarian beliefs. I don't want to address abortion in this thread because any time abortion is debated it turns the thread into an...
I believe there are grey areas on when and why we value life and when "life" begins. If you really want my perspective on abortion start a thread about atheists and abortion, or I'll start an "I'm an atheist ask me anything" thread in the break room if you want.
Did they? Or did they just do what they were destined to do all along? How did you know? Did they ever surprise you and make the other choice? You can't label it free will if It's impossible for me to make the choice that God knows I'm not going to make.
