However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' – Barry Goldwater	added by Normando 3 months ago

Now, we know it’s an addiction and a chronic medical disease. Telling someone just to quit would be like telling somebody who’s diabetic, ‘ you just need to think about making your blood sugar better. ’ We’ve learned so much. – Susan Walley	Found on CNN 1 year ago
So many people say to themselves, ‘It’s just me. I’ve got a problem.’ But actually, HSDD may be how your brain is wired, the biology is telling us there’s increased activation of inhibitory areas in the brain — the same areas that tell us it’s not OK to walk around in public naked — and those areas are switching off sexual desire. How can we tackle that? We give a hormone that would naturally give you increased sexual desire, essentially hijacking the normal system. – Waljit Dhillo	Found on CNN 1 year ago

To be honest, at first, I was very hesitant when this idea was discussed, my mind keeps telling me to back off. I mean, let’s be real here, it was too ambitious to say the least. Like, how can a small group of students from the Pacific Region convince the majority of the UN members to support this unique initiative? – Cynthia Houniuhi	Found on CNN 1 year ago

I’ve been here for 15 years giving my ⏰ & witty thoughts all for bupkis. Now you’re telling me that I have to pay for something you gave me for free? – Adobe Stock Twitter	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I think there’s a lesson in here for us as well, if we just stick to what we’ve always done, it’s not going to turn out well for us. Just because Manhattan has always been where it is, does it make sense that it will be there in 200 or 300 years? I don’t know. But I think we would benefit from being plastic and flexible and adaptive. And I think that’s kind of what the gentoos are telling us. – Heather Lynch	Found on CNN 1 year ago

You got ta remember, I stayed at the stadium the first two years because I did n’t want to spend no money, what’s the point ? Why are you telling me to go rent a house, go buy a house, or go rent a condo when everything I need is right here in the facility ? – Andy Lyons/Getty Images Johnson	Found on CNN 1 year ago
