Not exactly. We all bear responsibility for what we post.

Just curious- does anyone here actually have a teen daughter who has gotten pregnant? I did (she was 17), and thank goodness for the school that catered to pregnant girls. It took her an extra year, but she stayed in school, got her diploma, and did the graduation ceremony, all as a single mother. So it can be done, and now she has a job, and makes enough money to support herself, and her 10 yr old son. Not the path I would have chosen for her, but she is surviving.

I take full responsibility for posting it, of course. But I wanted to get your (collective) take on it. You guys are infinitely better at getting to the bottom of some things and most times I return your refutations to the original sender.

From taking responsibility for what I post to how to decide whether to post at all. When I'm uncertain about posting something, I find these questions helpful:
1 -- Is it true? 2 -- Is it kind? 3 -- Is it helpful or necessary? If the answer is yes in all cases, then I feel confident that it is a worthwhile post. The more no answers I get, the less likely it is that I'm making a worthwhile post.

1 - unknown - main reason for posting
2 - typically irrelevant - whether it is mean or harmful more likely.. 3 - yes/possibly - another reason I posted it

Oh my Gawd!
People voting. Obeying the law. Encouraging civic responsibility and involvement. WTF? Don't the republicans know any bums or crooks? Or are they just unwilling to soil the upholstery? Seriously, what a non-news story. The implication that there's some illegal activity here... where's your smoking gun? Yes, the republicans have protested. They took their case to the Ohio Supreme Court and lost. This sounds like sour grapes to me. Read for yourself.

Even insane people are allowed to vote. Unless you are currently in prison, you are allowed to vote.
Now. This isn't about me or how many times I voted. It's about equality!
