There is no way to know if Sarah Palin would be a good or a bad vice-president or pre

By the way, Willow Oak: I know one woman who has four boys. The eldest of them is a Downs Syndrome child. If you ask her, or her husband, he was the by far the easiest of them to care for as a baby. And yes, both she and her husband work, and yet this DS boy has gotten plenty of care, goes to school, and plays with his brothers, all of whom are growing up knowing that some people are different, but in many ways are the same as the rest of us.

By the way, Karen, you being the mayor and all should not be placing yourself in a position of opposing me and agreeing with everyone else. It appears that you are taking sides here. If that is the case, then I don't care if you are mayor or vice-president or president ..., you're wrong for doing so.

You are not serious?!?! Karen can't have an opinion??? This is HER site, she can have whatever opinion she wants!

Karen is the mayor but she certainly has a right to her opinion I have been on this board for 5 years and never have I seen Karen take a "side"

Karen doesn't have a right to an opinion?

Maybe Paul does?

Well he's a man, so that's probably ok.

How is my stating that my friend's Down Syndrome baby was the easiest of her baby, "taking sides?"

I try very hard to moderate this board. I do not state for whom I will vote, I do not discuss my political views, and have no desire to do so and politicize this board.

This is a board about Pets. If this thread is upsetting you, by all means go read some post in Dog General, or pick a pet for a bellyrub, or take a dog for long walk. No one should ever "post angry" here.

Now kids. Settle down. Keep cool. I would hate to see a true fight break out.

I know, I know, WO, started it. Sounds like a school yard.

Karen needs to get a big ole' stick out and start thwacking people.

Direct your advice towards those who are posting angry, not towards me. I just simply started a post and stated an opinion. It is others who have turned this into something personal and vindictive -- not I.

I will say this. I really am appalled that not one person has spoken in agreement with me. It reveals the sad state of affairs to which this society has sunk.

I had a Down's Syndrome sister who died two years ago at the age of 54, when I was 52 (meaning we lived 52 years together), so you don't need to imply that I am ignorant of such things.

I too know women who have children and work. I may be wrong, but I would like to think that a woman would prefer to stay at home with her children if she had the choice. I remain appalled at any woman who would not.

This is really true Karen, I have vacationed with my friend and her daughter with down's is a very pleasant easy child and she is truly one of the girls and plays with her sisters and entertains herself also.
