If Rand Paul were President he'd be happy to use drone strikes against American citizens on US soil.

Rand's got a list of people he hates...
Just my humble opinion.

If the GOP filabusters Hagel does that mean we get a Democrat as SecDef? and who?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/02/04/mcconnell-senate-gop-could-filibuster-hagel/

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Saturday that there’s a chance Republicans will filibuster former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel’s nomination as secretary of defense.

“Sen. Hagel did not do a very good job before the Armed Services committee,” McConnell told Kentucky reporters. (Hagel struggled in the Senate committee hearing, appearing unprepared for aggressive questions about Iran, Israel and nuclear weapons.) “I think the opposition to him is intensifying. Whether that means he will end up having to achieve 60 votes or 51 is not clear yet.” McConnell did not say how he planned to vote.

A filibuster against Hagel would be unprecedented. A Cabinet nominee has never been defeated by filibuster, although nominees have been voted down by a majority (John Tower was the first in three decades) or pulled over scandal or opposition (Tom Daschle, Bernard Kerik).....

When did this become The Puritan Underground.com?

I would expect all this Beyonce sexy outfit bashing at conservative websites but not here.
I thought we were more accepting of people and their choices in this community.
Just shocked we have so many who want to fight the "sins of the modern world" here.
This feels more like an argument for foxnews or one the freepers would rail about IMHO.

Want to have more sex? Survey says: stop helping with the chores

Let's run those numbers again.
I need to see your work and double check your math on this.

"Want to have more sex? Survey says: stop helping with the chores
No good deed goes unpunished.

That famous phrase from Clare Booth Luce apparently applies to married men, according to a new study that finds men who help with the housework tend to have less sex.

The University of Washington research, published Wednesday in the American Sociological Review, suggests that heterosexual couples have more “sexual encounters” when each partner takes on traditional gender roles.

“Where the male is doing the male tasks and the female is doing the female tasks, those are the couples (who) are having more sex,” UW Associate Professor of Sociology and study co-author Julia Brines said in an interview with the Toronto Star.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

justifying child rape is horrifying and should not be tolerated.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 25, 2013, 12:50 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: This post needs to be Hidden but I bet at least 3 jurors will vote to leave and at least one will say that it is just an opinion and needs to be rebutted in the thread. I have come to the realization that more than half of the long time posters on DU are right wingers. This place needs a new name.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: use reply, not alert!



Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
