Didn't think about that, did you?<br><br>"Nationwide, stranger abductions are extremely rare; there’s a one-in-a-million chance a child will be taken by a stranger, according to the Justice Department. And 90 percent of sexual abuse cases are committed by someone the child knows. Mortality rates from all causes, including disease and accidents, for American children are lower now than they were 25 years ago. According to Child Trends, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research group, between 1980 and 2003 death rates dropped by 44 percent for children ages five to 14 and 32 percent for teens aged 15 to 19."Joe SchmoeWed, 04 Jun 2008 16:51:01 -0000http://artofmanliness.disqus.com/the_do8217s_038_don8217ts_of_a_dinner_date/#comment-6635339I was a waiter, and the pre-bussing is not a issue, as long as it's done right.

Here's what is really interesting...<br><br>God actually plans to do the same exact thing, with FALSE religion!<br><br>(His own Son was in fact executed for exposing false religion for what it is.)<br><br>In the book of Revelation, false religion is described as Babylon the Great. In 18:4 he warns people to "get out of her" before he brings upon her what she deserves.<br><br>He will use human governments (described symbolically as beasts in the Bible) to do it for him. They'll think it's their own idea, but actually they'll carry out God's will.<br><br>False religion is not only ridiculous, but it has done more harm than any other element. However, that does not in itself prove that true religion does not exist, any more than counterfeit money in circulation proves that there's no genuine money in circulation.<br><br>After false religion is wiped out, true servants of God will remain.<br><br>Sounds ridiculous to skeptics, but wait and see. Remember, you were warned. A loving God always gives warning.

They thus never end up killing their spiritual brothers (nor anyone else) on the opposing side?<br><br>Which group has firmly taken such a stand despite imprisonment, Nazi concentration camps, and other persecution?<br><br>* Mat 24:14 - Good news of the kingdom preached worldwide before the end comes.<br><br>Which group spreads the SAME message of the Kingdom worldwide, in hundreds of languages, without bias, and without profit as their motive?<br><br>* 2 Tim 3:16-17. Which group views the Bible as the inspired word of God and strictly adheres to it for standards by which to live, which thus elevates them morally and makes them better parents, children, neighbors, and citizens?<br><br>Which group is thus far different from religious hypocrites, because of doing so?<br><br>Which group follows the Bible command to "remove the wicked man from among yourselves" to keep bad practices from being practiced by its members?<br><br>Those are some of the things you can use to get GOD's own opinion, as he's stated in his word the Bible, as to who true servants are, and who are the false.Joe SchmoeSun, 09 Nov 2008 13:39:27 -0000http://drm.disqus.com/the_ultimate_response_to_8220do_you_accept_jesus_as_your_personal_savior8221/#comment-11165311This is dumb.

The rest is on the NYT web site. Significantly, you can see that this innocent little pilot program was not expanded under Bush, but during the "good economy" (i.e., dot-com bubble) of the Clinton years: <br><br>"<b>In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001</b>, 50 percent of Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups."<br><br>44%? Oh, is that all? Some pilot!<br><br>"...Fannie Mae is hoping to spur banks to make more loans to people with less-than-stellar credit ratings...." <br><br>Bright idea. Isn't credit supposed to be what mortgage qualification is all about?<br><br>"...But they add that the move is intended in part to increase the number of minority and low income home owners who tend to have worse credit ratings than non-Hispanic whites..."<br><br>A democratic engineered and very transparent attempt at vote buying.<br><br>You are right, Bush did not stop this. But could he? By the time Bush took office in January 2000, this thing already created more pork than a Memphis barbecue and it was seen as a wonderful program of creating opportunities for disadvantaged [read: non-credit worthy] voters. Any attempt to pry this one away would have got about as far as Bush warning about social security being in trouble (which he did, and was laughed out of the room by congress). <br><br>We really should be asking not only Dodd, but Barney Frank why he flat out lied to the markets about Fannie and Freddie being A-ok barely a month before they both went belly up. I'm still amazed their stocks were not de-listed from the NYSE after that fall and investigations did not ensue.Joe SchmoeSat, 29 Aug 2009 01:06:59 -0000http://treehuggercomments.disqus.com/more_nukes_ak_village_oks_mini_nuke_reactor/#comment-17445643<p>Does this entry have a point, with all the ridiculous commentary?</p><br><br><p>If this plan has a weak point, please say something, instead of meaningless jabbering.</p>Joe SchmoeFri, 18 Feb 2005 15:23:22 -0000http://treehuggercomments.disqus.com/perfect_gasoline_storm/#comment-17467279<p>"I bought my first motorcycle last summer when gast hit $2.50/gal.
