Tom the Tarheel and Lisa

Tom, you are challenged to provide a link of the website(s) from which you accuse me of just copying and pasting or copying verbatim and comparing that to my ORIGINAL postings. The information about "Sam the unlicensed plumber" is out there, but to say I just copied and pasted or copied things verbatim is completely bogus, just like "Joe the Plumber" and his supposed persona. Oh, one thing I forgot to add in one of my previous posts about "Sam the unlicensed plumber's assistant" is that he donated $100 to the McCain campaign. If Sam could donate $100 to McCain's campaign, why could he not have paid his back taxes, vehicles fines, or plumbers licensing application fee? Like Tom, "Samuel J." is a total fraud who just makes things up to make himself look good. Check out the original clip of Sammmy Joe asking Barack Obama the questions about taxes. He LIED about how much money the plumbing company makes and that he would be able to buy it at some point in the near future. If Sammy Joe would have been honest with Obama in the first place, we would not be having this conversation right now.

Tom, by the way, you have repeated right wing talking points on this forum in the past. Pot, meet kettle.

Lisa, are you implying that a typical parent has the same knowledge about health and sexual education as a trained. eudcated professional? Just because you have had sex, does not mean you an expert on it. I have been to the doctor numerous times, but does that make me an expert on medicine?

Walk into Walmart sometime and ask people if they are a parent, then ask them some detailed questions pertaining to health and sexual education. I am sure most would flunk the test miserably. Are you implying those people should have sole responsibility for providing health and sexual education to their children? Lisa, instead of talking in generalities about the "government," why not talk in specifics, like health teachers, school nurses, and other professionals in the sexual education field. Lisa, are you implying you have more knowledge on health and sexual issues than trained professionals?
