Do you say under god inthe Pledge of Allegiance or just ignore these words when you recite it?
Marine comments on Aug 17, 2018:
With the atty general and his new campaign to invoke more religion into our lives I am dishearten that there has been no outrage expressed by the democrats concerning the separation of church and state. The atty general has no business trying to make the USA more religious and specifically christian. The fact that Florida has chosen to place In God We Trust as their motto on the state flag is simply a crime. The evangelicals have launched a movement to make the USA a christain nation which must be stopped now.

He wants to subvert data that science finds is harmful to humans like pesticides or other toxic chemicals used in the workplace.He places more value on the money earned using these chemicals rather than the life's it affects.In addition he has outlawed certain words that the EPA is no longer allowed to use like clean air,climate change etc. He believes if you cannot discuss it it will go away!
Is living together an acceptable alternative to marriage?
Marine comments on Aug 17, 2018:
As I see it living together only substitutes one potential set of problems for another.I have known of two couples that have lived together and when they separated they both had numerous problems regarding children,money,property,retirement income,child support,children's education, medical expenses and denial of visitation rights for the children. Atty fees were no different than going through a divorce. So why not bite the bullet do not make the children bastards and work on having a wonderful marriage.

Why is trump attacking science?
Marine comments on Aug 15, 2018:
The republicans reliance on religion makes accepting science difficult at best and leads to confusion often and rejection.Where religion is based upon faith and blind acceptance science depends upon facts that can be duplicated. Where we constantly challenge science and modify it according to new facts becoming available the conservative finds this to be a weakness and a reason to not accept science as relative.

Marine comments on Aug 14, 2018:
The bible was written from hearsay over a long period of time by a number of different authors who added to the bible different concepts many of which contradict each other or conjure up foolish premises like the great flood killing everything on earth except Noah and his family.The book if god inspired is very poorly written and often confusing with passages that no one understands.
Shouldn't the quality of life be considered as to when a person decides to live or die?
Marine comments on Aug 14, 2018:
I as an individual agree that a person should be able to consider suicide when the quality of life is such to support this decision. I feel it is inhumane to force a person who is terminal and in great pain and suffering to continue this condition if the person would rather die. A peaceful death with their family or friends around to say goodbye is better than a person committing suicide alone and in shame according to society. It is time to reverse this thinking and allow the person the dignity to decide when to end their life.
Where do you stand on extending the life of the ill and aged?
Marine comments on Aug 14, 2018:
This morning I was having a discussion with one of the republican members on this site regarding over population. To my surprise his solution was to let those who are ill or who are elderly just die.I am still in disbelief that someone in this age would offer that as a solution especially when they are so engaged in promoting every birth.I wonder if that solution applies to those who are born with medical problems as well. These medical problem births could be prevented via abortion in the first place. This same person was against anyone taking their own life and considered this to be a crime. Wouldn't it be just as much a crime to refuse medical treatment to the ill or elderly? Like so many other positions that the republicans are taking like no climate change,disregarding polution from coal and oil, relaxing emission limits on cars etc I just cannot understand their reasoning!

How do the governments of the world address the fact that there are to many people on this planet?
Marine comments on Aug 12, 2018:
As long as the majority of people believe in religion I believe that the human race will face extinction by shear numbers.There is only so much water,food and land available and these are already under stress by the population of the world. Governments will by necessity need to do something to control population growth. This means limiting the number of births per family,increased use of birth control and abortions all of which are opposed by religions. The latter will need to change to permit the civilization to survive.

Will water ever become a national problem?
Marine comments on Aug 11, 2018:
California has areas that are having current problems with a lack of ground water. As ice fields melt and mild winters produce little snow, ground water is going to be reduced in significant amounts and this needs to be addressed now.Winter runoffs need to be saved in reservoirs and water pipelines need to be constructed to areas that have little to no ground water. Water will become an important commodity as the climate change gets worse causing drought in some places and excess rain in others. The government needs to be addressing this problem today as it will become a large problem in the near future.

The Union of Concerned Scientists are calling for this FFRMS to be reinstated and that further action be taken to understand the risk involved by homeowners,banks etc.Disaster management needs a major revision to adapt to the increased risks from the sea water rise and the solutions to these problems which are not being addressed at this time.
How did te USA Federal Government become a government of Malfeasance?
Marine comments on Aug 11, 2018:
So many of the appointees in trump's cabinet and and other government positions have turned out to be plain crooks or other low life's that it is pathetic. If they are not crooks they are appointed with the idea of dismantling the department to which they were appointed.The stated aim is to reduce regulations and preform in a more efficient manner. In fact, it is to cut costs and ease the requirements so corporations can operate at lower costs and with less safety for their employees and the population.In addition the appointee may have been a large money producer for trump like De Vos . DeVos , Carson, Pruitt and so many of the others have ruined the departments they were appointed to or are so ineffective that it is nothing less than a crime they serve there.The net results have been a science department not allowed to practice or discuss science, a CDC that threatens the safety of lives in the USA,an environment department against environment issues, tax deduction for the wealthy being paid for by the average person through revisions of the tax code, medicare,medicade and a reduction of the number of personnel in government. This simply put is a rape of the government and the duties it was to preform.
