Unless you’re talking about Downs’ Syndrome people, who look as they do owing to an extra chromosome, the better question might be ‘why do parents pay to correct the overbites of non-retarded children and not retarded children?’. Often mental retardation is due to some other condition that might contribute to the appearance you describe. Why aren’t they all in supervised facilities? I don’t know. Do YOU want to pay for that when there are so many mainstreamed developmentally disabled people who do just fine in life, thank you.

I think you’ll find that Protestants refer to her as “Mary, mother of Jesus”. The Catholic Church’s insistence on revering her more for her virginity than her parenting skills is telling as to their respect for women in general.

Street sweepers are ubiquitous, regardless of the income of the neighborhood. Taxpayers pay for them. Our problem is the mass exodus into the city of people who formerly lived in foreign shanty towns. They must be broken of the habit of just tossing their garbage, including toxins and dead animals, into the alleys. The city simply can’t keep up with the trash.

1. The United States is responsible for all the poverty south of our border. 2. Much of the south used to belong to Mexico so they’re entitled to take it back by whatever means necessary. 3. Since U.S. employers are willing to drive down wages by hiring them, they have created “jobs Americans won’t do”. None of this makes any sense to me either. Be grateful you don’t live in a state where the legislators are complicit in the drive to turn the U.S. into a Third World country.

Sadly we have become a society where employers demand 24/7 access to their staffs, parenting minor children has become nearly impossible (decline of public schools, etc.) and leisure time for most of us has diminished to almost zero. The ability to assure an anxious boss that you’re working from home on Sunday without actually having to pick up the phone is a godsend for some of us. Texting back and forth between parents stuck in meetings and traffic in order to make sure someone’s picking up the kids is also a useful tool. That is not to say it should take the place of face to face contact with those you wish to have real relationships with. It is difficult to judge whether technology has hastened the pace of the craziness or simply made it slightly more bearable.

To use a handset while driving. I’ve been ticketed myself. And yet the number of accidents caused by inattention, even by those using earbuds or speaker phones, has not dropped significantly. They would have to outlaw phones of any kind in cars in order to do that. Having said that, it’s different to tool around in a subcompact on the phone than to pilot a massive rig. I would support legislation to force commercial truck drivers to pull to the side of the road to take or make phone calls. I live not far from the site of a horrendous big rig accident last year that killed several people.

Unless you consider the Wii a piece of gym equipment. Schools cut Phys Ed long, long ago and most parents, if they work out at all, do it on a treadmill instead of in the park with the whole family. Also, people have gotten incredibly ignorant about food. Most don’t read labels or have any idea of what’s good for them.

If you have bunions at 16 they’ll only get worse if you’re not mindful about your shoes. Unstructured flipflops and/or high heels that put all the pressure on the balls of your feet will exacerbate your problems. I have bad feet and I’ve never had any shortage of dates. Most guys don’t look at feet unless they have a particular foot fetish.

Certainly, but most, especially younger people are less inclined to define themselves by the Holocaust. I know for a fact that the SHOAH FOUNDATION hires Gentiles in their work. You might well have to move to Los Angeles but I would try there. Also the Museum of Tolerance (also in L.A.) appears to have a more diverse hiring policy. Additionally the German government has a great interest in preserving Holocaust stories and memorabilia and might be a good place to make inquiries if you don’t mind moving to Europe. Ditto the Czechs and possibly even Poland.

If you’re meeting men outside of a church setting, why not just ask, “are you a Christian”? Anyone who subscribes to your chosen views won’t mind being interrogated about his religious beliefs because it will be as important to him as it is to you.

As a man you have never gestated a fetus and given birth, and so understandably don’t understand what a difficult, unpleasant, painful and expensive process it is to turn an embryo into a human being. Hence, it’s the woman’s intention for the potential life that makes the difference between an unwanted clump of cells and a fully formed life. Incidentally a fetus has to be to nearly viable stage to be counted as a life in a murder case. Late term (what you’re calling “partial birth” – obviously a dittohead) abortion is a rare occurrence and most often the result of complications either with mother or child. Very few women are so flaky that they wait long into their second trimester to have an abortion. When it does happen it usually represents the tragic loss of a wanted pregnancy.

And you must be a heavy gal for that to even work. I personally think it’s pretty white trash to go digging in your underwear to tip the valet. Invest in a nice purse. Besides, YOU’RE 50! What nightclubs and dancing are you involved in? The behavior you describe might be acceptable to someone in her early 20s. A middle aged woman should have more class.
