As a housewife for years I did do some things. Many of those things enabled other women to go to work every day, and not worry about their school, their church or their community.

Lots of working women are willfully ignorant, too. Don't lay it all off on housewives.

....and men.

Regarding testmo's hilarious comment: It boggles my mind that someone with supposedly "liberal" views could hold such beliefs.

Personally, I've found that being a housewife + mom (a.k.a. chef, chauffer, personal attendant, tutor, disciplinarian, cleaner, list goes on...) is one of the most mentally and physically challenging 'jobs' I've yet held (and I've held many).

Ooops, need to sign off now, as the husband has decreed that I've used up my allotted computer time for the day.

If you understand the liberal mindset it shouldn't boggle your mind at all.

Good point. While a liberal should say that a woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her life (kumbaya and all), most probably are really thinking I am wasting my degrees. Whatever.

Didn't know that liberal = sinner
Specially since I've read the New Testament and Jesus sounded very socialist (give all your money to the poor, free healthcare, free food and wine for everybody, etc, etc).

Yes, but Jesus always taught that giving should be done freely, and completely without compulsion. By definition, when a government takes the goods of it's people through taxation, it ceases to be an act of free-will giving.

Jesus was hardly a socialist. I rather doubt that you could put Him in any kind of political box.

Call it whatever you want, but Jesus also taught us to pay taxes to the government

Paying Taxes to Caesar
Matthew 22:15-22

15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are.
17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius,
20 and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
21 "Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

Words of advice, please don't argue with fools (conservatives), they will always beat you with experience.

[glorplaxy]

Wow. Using Jesus to bolster your political views.

Welcome to Texas. Go straight to church. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Uh no. It's the suburbs.
