The HBO television entertainer Mr. Maher has argued that religion is just a lot of foolish nonsense. But I can tell you that Mr. Maher is an arrogant, shameless, self-righteous pig. And obviously, his argument is not worth listening to. __________________________

We have to come to the reasonable conclusion that we need and must adopt a one-world system of government for common humanity. ____________________________

I am pregnant, because my boyfriend or husband tricked me. ____________________
