    Schiff Video on College degrees

    well, what is the point? He begins with a biased sample (people who don't have jobs that are "desirable") and shows us the ones that went to college. How about he goes and interviews doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc.? Is the point that college is not right for some people? Or it doesn't work out...

    Lool - Finally Trump does something I like !!!

    Now you are moving the goal posts. Note the article (and many more like it) are from 08-09 when he was running for president until just after election.

    Lool - Finally Trump does something I like !!!

    This is absolutely untrue. It isn't even new criticism. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/20/recollections-of-obamas-ex-roommate/ And many many people who knew him at Harvard law and law review have spoken on his behalf.

    unemployment rate dropped below 8% to its lowest rate since Obama took office

    Good read on the jobs report and potential impact on the election: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/05/jobs-news-makes-obamas-case-easier/#more-35589 "I’m less inclined to predict what immediate effect the numbers will have on the polls — whether Friday’s news outweighs, for...

    Romney’s Major Achilles Heel : GOP

    They are also tax deductible. He can lower his overall tax rate and essentially get a portion of the 100K back on his returns.

    Gay Marriage

    Again, your evolutionary arguments are extremely simplistic and not necessarily fact based (just out of curiosity, are you in this field professionally?). In fact, many homosexuals want to have kids. for instance many if not most lesbians who have kids do not adopt and instead have their own...

    Gay Marriage

    Autism does not impact sex drive either but you chose it as the comparison to homosexuality. Your view of evolution is extremely limited where you view the reproduction of an individual as the key. However, it is the survival of the species that matters. Thus, you can have differentiation of...

Almost anyone who has lived long enough in the united states has had neighbors, coworkers, close friends, etc that are gay or lesbian. They have normal relationships just like everyone...

    Gay Marriage

    Why compare homosexuality to autism? Why not to having red hair or being very tall? As the article mentioned there may be other reasons for it that make it evolutionarily advantageous. First, it could be kinship selection: roles fulfilled by homosexuals promote survival of species. Second, it...

    Not sure if we can be so definitive about the evolutionary benefits (or lack thereof) of homosexuality. See the article below for other perspectives: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13674-evolution-myths-natural-selection-cannot-explain-homosexuality.html
