BP said they were sorry!  Surely that's enough?  They certainly thought so...

As a flight attendant myself, this news story caught my eye. 

Thai "ladyboy" flight attendants take to the skies

From the article: 

"This is the beginning of the acceptance of transsexuals in Thailand, giving the opportunity for us to work in various fields."

"Maybe in the future we can get any job that transsexuals never did before, such as police, soldiers or even pilots."

So sad to see this. Christopher Hitchens has died. A great man.

"I think it's too cold to film a video out here in Michigan during the winter.  Who approved this?"   LOL  That's funny!

@Darren
Yeah, her "law of the land" strategy is pretty stupid too.  So I guess the law of the land is supreme and she doesn't plan to change anything.  Oh, wait...

Bachman and her high school debating club arguments are pure common denominator; as if it was the questioner's fault for forgetting to add the qualifier of 'to each other'. It's the same as when they winge on about the definition of marriage in the dictionary being sufficient reason to deny gay marriage, as though it's impossible to edit a dictionary. Childish reasoning of an idiot. Next she'll be saying that freedom of religion means that she's free to impose her christian beliefs on everyone.

If you US lot elect her I shall be very disappointed with you and may even use my iPad slightly less in protest! (joking, ovvers;-))

@Dallas
Lol the comments have really blown up on your video, huh?  And as for the other video, Bachman worded her answer to the gay marriage question SO well.  She has received guidance from intelligent people.  Gays DO have the right to marry.  Gay marriage is not a gay right; it's a right for straights too.  It puts things in a little different perspective for me.

Her rant about religion in schools was also very well-worded.  I can see how a like-minded crowd would rally around her.  She also puts this issue in a different perspective for me.  I realize how important the Department of Education is after seeing this.  Sorry, but public schools are not churches.  That's what private schools are for.

Finally, WHY is everyone posting in the comments section?  I feel like most of what gets said down here deserves a discussion.

A friend of mine had a good idea.  Carry slips of paper with you to drop into Salvation Army Kettles, which explain why you are not donating.

I thought of these four as a sample of what you could write.  Use one or all four, or one of your own.

Why I Will Not Donate to the Salvation Army:

1. When my dad was on the docks loading up to board a ship to to fight a war in Korea, Goodwill was out there giving soldiers cups of coffee. The Salvation Army was out there SELLING cups of coffee to the service men.

2. Like other profit making religious organizations, you file for tax exemption under religion, and therefore do not file a 990 form which would declare your income and what you do with your money.

3. You charge a price for feeding the needy.  That price is obedience to your religion, forcing those who are down and out to pray for their supper, despite individual personal beliefs.

4. You blatantly ignore your position statement of helping all who are in need and deny LGBT people services unless they renounce their sexuality, end same-sex relationships, or, in some cases, attend services "open to all who confess Christ as Savior and who accept and abide by The Salvation Army's doctrine and discipline." In other words, if you're gay or lesbian, you don't qualify.

I'm going to believe that your friend's grandparents were ballroom dancing, Sentient.
