    1. Yes, it's been awesome so far for business and free enterprise. Thanks, Obama! (end sarcasm)

    2. Sex education is taught in schools - the problem is when schools (and liberals) want to bring gay education, etc into things.

    3. Yes, thanks to the last few worthless presidents - including the one we have now.

    4. No country has suburbs like we do. It's not as easy as it is in other countries where populations bases are urban.

    5. ?

    6. Agree strongly

    7. Disagree strongly

    8. It's the norm in corporate America. Hell, we even get paternity days.

    9. I think Americans understand this one just fine. We just haven't had much alternative at this point.

    Another worthless alternet article. Judy keeps trying to bury his article sources (when he provides a link) because even he knows it's all bullshit.

    1. Universal healthcare is horrible for the sick.

    2. What is a sex problem? I have not idea what you are talking about.

    3. You have no idea what American Exceptionalism is so you have no right to comment.

    4. What?

    5. Who has claimed the bible was written by hedge fund managers? Take the strawman argument elsewhere.

    6. Who has claimed it is a character flaw.

    7. Unions are horrible, plain and simple.

    8. What?

    9. What?

    We all know that you and the other Obama supporters hate America.

    "6. Learning a Second or Third Language Is a Plus, Not a Character Flaw"

    Going to live in a different country and not learning & using the primary language of that country is a character flow.
