We can’t change people who don’t like us. We do control ourselves and our attitudes. I’d take this kid to a children’s hospital where there are kids with no legs that would...

@Media_Truth, Just so you know, there is not a light rail system in the US that isn’t highly subsidized. All are unprofitable and would not exist without people who never use...

The point is you don’t know if an animal should be kept alive or not. It’s not black and white. You can’t put all horses out to graze that can’t be ridden. Pretty soon there...

Sure. What’s your point? Every male goat (buck) that knocked me down and the one that broke my mom’s arm was intact. It’s hard to get the does bred if you castrate your buck....

You should probably check out the story a bit. This all happened decades ago. We can’t just make stuff up.

Yes, power is “cheap” in Iowa because taxpayers are heavily subsidizing it. Without subsidies it wasn’t competitive with other energy sources. Your boy Chuck says so.

Shelters euthanize dogs too. Firearms can be very humane tools for euthanasia. All forms can be botched accidentally or by incompetence.
