I think smokers and obese people are not "disabled". They CHOSE to become "addicted" and need to make the decision to help themselves

I fully support gentrification in DC. It's time to rid this city of the riff raff.




Serious question: Where is the riff-raff supposed to go? If you kick all the poors out of Anacostia, where do you suggest they live instead?


Not the person who posted this but I agree with them. I really don't give a damn where people "go" once their neighborhood becomes gentrified. It's not my problem. I don't see the issue here in DC yet but the protests against gentrification in San Francisco REALLY upset me. A guy dared to open a successful restaurant in a gentrifying neighborhood and the useless hippies harassed him until he left. And they said he didn't belong there. If poor people moved into a richer neighborhood and were treated the same way, EVERY civil rights activist in the Western Hemisphere would descend upon that city and there would be protests and hell to pay.

I mean, are we really going to stop real estate values from rising and stop neighborhoods from becoming BETTER? And safer with less crime, and with more amenities, and nicer housing stock, and likely better schools? It's such a friggin' backwards attitude, I can't even stand it. Do people realize they're fighting to make their neighborhoods stay semi-crappy?

When people say they don't believe in god I always assume they are either lying or just like to be different, but deep down I can't wrap my head around how you just can't believe in god.


I'm an atheist, and I don't understand how you can believe in God.

I look down on religious people. I am not proud of it, but can't help it.it doesn't make sense to me. I think there is an inverse relationship between intelligence and religion.

I tend to agree. I'm an agnostic, but my cousin is a hardcore atheist who is always shoving her non-belief down others' throats and ridiculing believers. Isn't that just as bad as religious people who proselytize zealously and talk about "hell and damnation"? How is it different? It's not.

And, I have tried for years to find a way to move to Canada. I am so tired of the US - the capitalistic selfish shit, the military worship (excuse me - you volunteered!), the stupid anthem, the pledge of allegiance, and the "we are the greatest nation in the world" fiction.



I think back reading this that I should have married the Canadian girl I once dated.
Would be cold up there but nicer place to live.

Moving to Canada seems to be popular. My husbanded wants me to invoke my rights to citizenship and move there too.


English, please!

How about living for life and not some unknown made up bullshit you think you're going to find after you die. You have been duped, and the saddest part is that you won't even know it because you'll be dead.

I find faith in the Easter Bunny to be fulfilling. Also Santa Claus. I receive a great happiness in the earthly gifts of chocolate covered animals and paper wrapped delights which magically come down the chimney every year. Sometimes I believe in leprechauns but lately have been having some serious doubts..... I guess my faith has wavered. Am I doomed?

1. We should be deporting the towel heads by the plane load.

2. Blacks need to rise to the occasion. And stop acting like they aren't to blame.
