Now look at their education system and compare it to ours.
I wouldn’t say that our education system is exceptionally better, but the widespread indoctrination and abusive mind control of children is not acceptable in our modern culture. Mainstream Christianity is only managing to stay alive in Britain based upon relative institutional convenience, tradition, and the...

In the interest of fair and accurate media, this image that has been circulating on Tumblr recently is not in reference to the current situation in Egypt. It is from the July 27, 2010 edition of Fox News’ The Live Desk. Granted, it is still hilariously misguided. Stay informed, stay honest.
Wow. So it is real? It’s just not from now? How weird.

savagemike:
JP Morgan is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. JP Morgan has contracted to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. JP Morgan is paid for each case that it handles, so that means that the more Americans that go on food stamps, the more profits JP Morgan makes. Yes, you read that correctly. When the number of...

“As her mother tells it, 9-year-old Brisenia Flores had begged the border vigilantes who had just broken into her house, “Please don’t shoot me.”
But they did — in the face at point-blank range, prosecutors allege, as Brisenia’s father sat dead on the couch and her mother lay on the floor, pretending that she too had been killed in the gunfire.”
