I despise the Orthodox and feel they have destroyed any chance of Israel succeeding peacefully. I prefer the company of lapsed Catholics. Ironically, most of my close friends are Jewish, but they have all intermarried and lead completely secular lives.

Yes!!!

I got together with a friend of mine, we are in our 40s and she just wanted to talk about camp, from 30 years ago. And, all her friends are Jewish. I just can't deal with it.

I'm raising my daughter Catholic (my husbands religion) just because the whole thing makes me ill.

Is this really true?

It would be weird if it were since prisons are keeping illegals in prison for the length of the sentence.

Maybe it's because prisons are supported by the masses with taxpayer money and hospitals have to find their own funding.

Medical repatriation:

Over the last five years, American hospitals have sent at least 600 immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally back to their home countries to avoid paying for long-term care after serious illness or injury

Quelino Ojeda Jimenez was working atop a building at Chicago's Midway Airport in 2010 when he fell, suffering injuries that left him nearly quadriplegic and reliant on a ventilator.

Advocate Christ Medical Center cared for Jimenez for four months, absorbing more than $650,000 in costs, according to a 2011 Chicago Tribune story.

Three days before Christmas that year, the hospital put him aboard a medical flight and sent him to Mexico, even though his family protested. Crying and unable to speak, Jimenez could do nothing to prevent his removal.

The receiving hospital in Mexico lacked rehabilitation services and could not afford new filters for his ventilator. After suffering two heart attacks and a septic infection, Jimenez died on Jan. 2, 2012.

Hospitals trying to curb costs have chartered flights to send sick, uninsured, undocumented immigrants back to their home countries. It's a process called medical repatriation, and critics say it amounts to unregulated deportation. (April 23)

But you could say the same about coal miners and welders. I am also grateful for garbage collectors and septic tank cleaners.

Actually, I am grateful. But more importantly, I would never be purposely hurtful. That's the issue I have with the people referring to our service members as idiots. You certainly don't have to express gratitude or admiration. However, name calling and insults just seems so very wrong, especially when it caused so much pain.

I personally don't understand the desire to have a child that's biologically yours. I have seen too many marriages break up over the wife's overwhelming desire to have a biological child. It's not the end all be all and there are other ways to create a family.

Men just follow along because they are trying to do what's going to make their wives happy.

Do you have a biological child? I'm guessing no and that's for the best, I'm sure. The desire to have a child that is "biologically" yours is just that - BIOLOGY. It is perfectly normal and all of the snarky, rotten to black on the inside hateful people like you can rail against BIOLOGY all you want, but it won't change it. You are not fucking God and you're not going to change human nature, so get over it already.

Total over reaction.

All I said was that I personally don't understand the desire to have a biological child. I just don't get it. I never had any overwhelming desire to have children and thought I would adopt if I really, truly, wanted a child. Then my birth control failed. I was married and there was no reason to have an abortion so I had a baby. God, do I love that child, and the sibling that soon followed. I didn't have the ticking clock or any brooding. I just kind of fell into motherhood.

We still had the plan of adopting older children until we discovered our second was severely disabled. Biology didn't give me a child without issues. And no one in the history of my family, or DH's, has had the problems our child has. This child ended any and all ideas of adding to our family.

Yippee. All your clarification did was highlight how uniquely unqualified you are to judge other people, since your personal story is relevant only to you. And it's particularly telling that someone who "fell into" biological motherhood feels the need to secretly judge women who didn't have it so easy. What a peach you are.
