<p>The study might be bogus, or it might have some fact…</p>

<p>

That study, which supplements IRS data with a survey of representative households, found that people in New England give less, on average, to charity than people in other regions, but that the percentage of New Englanders who do contribute is higher than the national average. It also found that contributors in New England tend to favor secular, rather than religious, causes.
Mr. Cohn said he was disappointed that the Boston Foundation chose to attack the index without understanding that its purpose is to promote discussion about philanthropy and that it never sought to hang a label on any state.
Mr. Trueblood said he wanted to move the discussion away from rankings and toward ways to get people to be more generous.

This was from one of the links…Cleveland Post I think.</p>

Lets make a big list of myths spread by liberals

yeah, and attach an explanation to each item so i can refute them. one of your myths, however, is particularly vile:

7)I did not have sexual relationships with that woman

i’m not sure why bill clinton’s adultery was ever politically relevant. it said nothing about his abilities as a president. i can’t understand why conservatives cling to the PR circus that was monicagate as though it were core to their political ideology.</p>

[iloveagoodbrew]

<p>Why should I bother? Do your own research. You seem to not even know what I believe, let alone what you yourself stand for.</p>

<p>Oh ya, about Clinton’s ‘adultery’. It might be fashionable to call it ‘adultery’, but a better term you might be looking for is ‘perjury’.</p>

Why should I bother?

because the ball’s in your court. you’re making these huge statements, so it’s your responsibility to show that they aren’t full of crap.

You seem to not even know what I believe,

this might be arguable, as CC is the only space where we’ve had conversations…

let alone what you yourself stand for.

but i don’t know where the hell you’re getting this from.

Oh ya, about Clinton’s ‘adultery’. It might be fashionable to call it ‘adultery’, but a better term you might be looking for is ‘perjury’.

my argument was that clinton’s behavior shouldn’t have been prosecutable in the first place. i’m not excusing him for lying, i’m attacking conservatives for making a big deal out of his personal life. after all, it wasn’t about him lying. the media circus was entirely about his sex life.</p>

[iloveagoodbrew]

<p>I don’t really care to at this point. I am busy reading up on something. If something intereting pops up in these forums, I will write more.</p>

[Hush]

<p>bill clinton was prosecuted because someone came forward with allegations that he had sexually harassed them. Monica Lewinsky was a character witness - to prove that Bill Clinton had a record of extramarital interest in women. He perjured himself in a trial about sexual harassment, not about adultery.</p>
