Nope, I took one bite and marvelled there could be so little flavour!

If these men are going to vote to make women carry every foetus then
they should be concerned with killing many many more than women.
 
No to the latter, they would never become human beings.

not your own?

Even the best birth control methods are not 100% effective. The Pill is
99% effective. Apparently 1% of women using the Pill properly will get
pregnant within a year of using it. The only method that CDC rates as
100% effective is abstinence, but they point out that it difficult to
stick to.

I am not pro abortion. It is a serious medical procedure that involves
some degree of risk. I sure as hell would not want to have to have one.
Nor would I want to be in the situation of having to consider having
one. I prefer to leave it as a viable option for women who find
themselves in need of one. I would normally not judge a woman harshly
for having an abortion. The one exception to that in my life was the my
late friend's ex who bragged about having had 5 abortions. That, IMO is
using abortion as birth control.

They are the same people who will thing of single mothers as whores and
their children as bastards.

Sadly, there are enough bible thumpers that it could also be their
salvation. Most of us thought that the nail in the Republican party was
accepting Trump as their candidate for president. Despite him having
ending up even worse than we had expected, he still has massive support.

Here's a list. It's fairly brief.
 
<https://votesmart.org/education/president#.XOVZF9gpC70>
 
I'm not exactly sure what "wield the executive power" means.
I'd like to think it's "make sure the Executive Branch does
stuff". The Executive Branch of the government includes
the Justice Department (FBI, prosecutors, etc.), the EPA,
Food and Drug Administration, USDA, and a whole raft of
other agencies that actually conduct the activities of
the government.

The other hamburgers tend to have some taste and texture.

They arrived here later. I had them a couple times when I was working in
the road. They didn't have much flavour and the texture sucked. The
worst part was the big mac attack 15-20 minutes later when the explosion
went off in my guts.

Fortunately I've never had a "Big Mac Attack" LOL. I never thought much
about McDonald's one way or the other. We didn't eat there when I was a
kid and I don't eat there now. The rare times Mom took us kids to a
hamburger chain it was a place called 'Burger Chef'. I think we lived
in New Jersey at the time. I have no idea what she paid for the burgers.

Trump can't directly stop it. It's a state law, and states have a lot
of autonomy. It'll have to go through the courts.

Thanks, I didn't know that. So each state makes its own decisions?

He brought that up in another FB post. Apparently, those hypocrites are
only interested in abstinence education.

However, in the last 2 years he has fired everybody that represented
any kind of control for the Constitution and replaced them with people
who have openly 'interviewed' for positions by writing books, making
speeches etc. that in one way or another the President should have no
constraint. Thus, now, he pretty much has control of the Judicial,
Senate(half of the Legislative) and he runs the presidency much as an
overlord with no one with real remaining authority to investigate or
curb him.

Very little. He is president, not King, not Dictator. He must approve
the laws made by Congress but does not make them. There is some
discretion in Executive Orders though.
 
States make traffic and driving laws, local taxes, state road works.

Huh? Women masturbate more, lots more.... there are many times more
dildos sold than fake vaginas. Last week the market in town had cukes
10/$10, mostly huge ones. I watched for a while and women were
snatching them up, ten at a time. Finally I bought two and picked out
the smallest, I don't like cukes with big seeds. However there were
five pound bags of large carrots you would Love, only $3.99.

> Drivel
 
No, I think that's true enough, Lucretia.
 
To me, *most* abortions are due to an accident. Accidentally
getting pregnant from a night of fun.
 
That said, I am very pro-abortion. No unwanted pregnancy should
be forced to continue for any reason. We have too many people
already and don't need unwanted children being born.
 
I have a few relatives living in the USA "bible belt" and they
are all dancing with glee and praising Jesus for this current
movement. I'm appalled.
 
It's all religious reasons and religion has caused most of our
biggest problems in history. This current trend is so wrong. Also
for this crap, I've always believed that churches should be taxed
just like every one else is since they meddle in politics.
 
This will be the "final nail in the coffin" for republicans
though in 2020. They went wrong when they hooked up with the
religious right. This current trend will almost guarantee a
Democrat sweep in the next election.

apparently even preventing a life is murder. No condoms, no birth
control pills, no sex education. But women must give their bodies to
men as God intended.
If you don't like living under Sharia law why would you want to live
under Roman Catholic law?
Where is the judgment of murder when these same people cut off the
food and medical aid for poor women who are pregnant? Where is the
Christian charity when food and medical aid are cut off for children
born under this pro-life murder free law?
It's all hypocrisy.

I agree with Steve and have always said that MdD burgers are very
different from other burgers. Completely different animal and
taste. I just happen to like that different taste so will buy
some occasionally. Normally, I'll make my own or goto a better
restaurant.
 
Similar to canned tuna vs fresh grilled tuna steak. Not the same
at all.
 
Unlike Sheldon, I really DID start eating there when hamburgers
cost 15 cents each...back in the very early 60's. Fries cost 12
cents. Just a burger and fries once per week. That's what I spent
my young allowance on along with a comic book or two. (12 cents
each then)

Haven't tried or heard of a Famous burger unless you mean a plain
hamburger.
 
"the bun was ghastly?" LOL That's funny. Did you take one bite
and vomit? ;)

Looks nice, Sheldon, but I wasn't really looking for something made with
tomatoes. If I was, I'd probably make ratatouille. :)

I like it well enough. Normally I use it 2 ways:
 
1) not cooked, just sliced on a sandwich with mayo and lettuce.
2) potatoes, onions, cubed spam cooked in a hash meal
I like gramma's applesauce* on the side with that.
 
I usually buy the "25% Less Sodium" version.
*Gramma's applesauce - unsweetened applesauce (or fresh prepared
apples), chunky and sweetened with a bit of brown sugar only.
(no cinnamon)

Same here. I don't add water or milk to scrambled eggs. Might
give the water a try to see how fluffy eggs taste though.
 
When I make fried eggs (over easy), I cook 2-3.
When I make scrambled eggs, I cook 4.
 
The first 3 I eat plain with toast.
The last egg (1/4 of the dish) I mix with ketchup.
It's the dessert part of my scrambled egg meal.
 
It's all good here. Each to their own, eh?

That's true. What is accepted as ethical and moral in one place at one
point in time may not be ethical or moral in other places and times. ...
witch trials, inquisitions, pogroms, capital punishment, pre marital
sex, homosexuality.....

While I do doubt her assertion, my point was she thinks steaming
vegetables is somehow wrong. Of course she'd never make something like
cauliflower gratin but if she did she'd attempt to use raw cauliflower
and then wonder why it burned to a crisp and no one would eat it.

John I saw nothing wrong with the way you were before, maybe a bit too
braggadocios but that is about all. Everyone has got their quirks.
Although the JBL fiasco was a bit strange.
