Absolutely: most people [esp corporate wonks in charge of social media] are just reacting to what the news media tells them is important [by devoting a ton of coverage to it]. There's a great deal of coverage on ISIS/ISIL, but the fact is, we are more likely to be in danger from homegrown...

8 for me. I had no idea which museum houses the staircase, but the song played [to signal withdrawal] was my clumsy fingers - I knew the right answer, lol. It's not about how well you know the war, though - it's just trivia. It says nothing about why the US felt it necessary to get into the...

The sole photo shows it from overhead, at an angle that doesn't show how "high' it was, so it's quite possible that it resembled a Mohawk, or maybe just a Mohawk in the making. Even if it didn't when the decision was made, it's easy to see that it would, without meticulous trimming. Can't blame...

Even before the media takes a good look at his 'Trump University' fiasco...

I think it's a reasonable question. Those who value safe driving will drive safely, camera or not. Those who don't care, will find ways to get around whatever constraints are imposed upon them. We'd get better results by shining a light on the behavior of those who cause most accidents - and...

I suspect the answer lies in the observation "Mom told the school it wasn't a Mohawk".....:D

There is no message that won't offend someone - the trick is to offend as few as possible. which requires knowing who they are, how many they are, and how important [to election chances]. Trump's insulting Mexicans was stupid, flat out stoopid.

So many "hiding' their ugliness [though not as well as they think] behind the Christian label that it's in danger of becoming a code word for "intolerant bigot". I've always thought the Golden Rule is sufficient unto the day, but maybe it ought to have one teensy disclaimer: does not apply to...

Not sure Id vote for him as POTUS, but I do love his sense of humor, and his "I don't care" 'tude, like when he didn't mind showing his gratitude to Obama, because it was about the people of NJ suffering, and Christie cared about that. I think he's a good man.

Anyone on here listening to Moot or me wouldn't be eating that laundry list of chemical additives - we like real food. :hungry:

I like Chris Christies brand of "Screw you!" attitude, like pulling a doughnut out of his pocket and munching it during an interview, after several stories were based on his size, lol. but it won't do for the POTUS - that requires a level of diplomacy and cool-under-fire demeanor that few have...

Hey, I think WM should have put the Confederate flag on the cake. If they're going to ban 'terrorist' symbols, they need to be educated on what those symbols are [do they speak Arabic?] Problem is, it's a great big world out there - anyone familiar with the flag of Bokul Harum? Would a WM cake...

And you don't see that filter [aka diplomacy] as important?

The number of serious accidents in which a nanny cam would provide an answer that wouldn't have been found any other way don't justify forcing it upon millions of safe drivers. Particularly when the answer is likely to be something that can't be eliminated anyway, like a wasp flew in the window...

Paulnstef: I can't imagine why they would be, as it's religion [esp conservative Christians] that says they're "wrong", but you are correct: some are. My point was that you can't say that gay parents shouldn't adopt kids, when so many have already, and proven the kids do just fine. Gay parents...

ISIS/ISIL is not a threat to American citizens on American soil. White supremacists, [the KKK, et al], have been and are responsible for terrorism of innocent Americans in their own homes. Do you know about the riots in Tulsa, Ok, in 1921? I bet not - it wasn't taught in our history books...

You think they'd be better off in a nice Christian home? http://www.arktimes.com/arkansas/a-child-left-unprotected/Content?oid=3691164 http://www.arktimes.com/arkansas/casting-out-demons-why-justin-harris-got-rid-of-kids-he-applied-pressure-to-adopt/Content?oid=3725371

I've had several over the years, including a pricey Norcold, which was the worst of all. [Dinky freezer!] Replacing them is as easy as finding a Home Depot, Lowe's, WalMart, etc. If you want a separate freezer, as I do, you might have to check a couple places, but they're reasonably priced, at...

There's an idea: raid your wife's collection, lol. :eek:

On the website Project Gutenberg, [free online books], there are a great many "Slave Narratives", recorded by volunteers from numerous states. I've read a good many of them, and few of the slaves lived in circs anything like the fictional Tara - most were owned by poor people, some truly dirt...
