But an infant afflicted with sepsis needs resources only available in a hospital setting.

He said that gangs "have the wrong values". That's quite different from stating that "gangs have values".

She appears to have excessive body fat. There should be no need to sugarcoat reality. As far as these comments damaging her self-esteem, I think she is quite beautiful.

Depression is an illness. It affects people of every political persuasion. And it has nothing to do with not being able to "handle let alone recognize reality". It has everything to do with a chemical imbalance which prevents the afflicted from being able to experience pleasure in any form. It is not extreme sadness in itself; it is the inability to feel ANYTHING, to enjoy any aspect of life. Again, it has nothing to do with one's ideologies -- NOTHING. You only reveal your hopeless ignorance of the subject, by making the comment you made. RIP, Mrs. Kennedy.

He deserves every penny of that award. And it is irrelevant whether he is still a Catholic. Be careful, your sensitivity is showing (sarcasm).

Really???

Wrong. In decades past, enormous student loans were not available, so the potential student was really between a rock and a hard place -- if he could not put himself through college, get money from relatives, or receive scholarship money -- he/she could not go to college, period. Kids these days don't realize how easy they have it. The real problem is that we are raising children to believe that higher education is some sort of entitlement, which it is not. Not everyone belongs in college. Our economy, even in good times, cannot support a massive student loan program which depends on the full employment of hoards of college graduates in well-paying jobs, in order to pay back the loans. " . . . many current students have already exhausted their eligbility for some forms of financial aid because they are returning to college after previously earning a degree." Guess what -- an individual should only be able to get a student loan in order to pursue his/her first degree. If you want more degrees on top of that -- you need to finance that on your own, without help from any student loan program -- i.e., you need to work to earn the cost of more education. The taxpayer should not have to foot the bill for more than one degree.

Stating that it would be "fitting" if it had been Lohan who had died in this incident is doing more than "telling it like it is". And your descriptive phrase "headline hogger" implies that YOU would like to share in those headlines. Otherwise, who are you speaking for???

Is that an example of "telling it like it is"???

Subsequently, he decided to go into the entertainment business, and as such, getting plastic surgery is not so much a sign of insecurities (God forbid any of us should reveal any "insecurities"!!!), as a smart career move. You call the Kardashians white trash. Again, a bit brutal. They are in the businesses of fashion and modeling -- as documented in a reality tv program. None of them has murdered anyone, or had a baby which they could not afford to raise, or robbed a bank, or been a drug dealer, or succumbed to alcoholism, or molested any children. They are basically good people who value family loyalty. What's wrong with that???

He has done what very few can do, and for that reason he is an outstanding athlete. How can you deny that???
