    World War 3 possible Ukraine-Russia?

    Anything could happen, of course. But I'd be surprised to see any real war between the Ukraine and Russia. And I'd be flabbergasted to see a war that involves anyone else. But one reality that has made itself apparent is the establishment of what I might call the Putin doctrine. Namely that...

    Gosh Crazy Black Men shooting teenagers is NEVER mentioned in the press...OOPS!

    I'm having a hard time understanding the hostility to the OP's original point. There issome truth to the charge that black on black violence receives less attention than cross racial violence. I think that's mostly due to very ordinary violence being so common that individual cases really...

    Kerry Calls Climate Change World's 'Most Fearsome' Destructive Weapon.....

    Here's the real reason that even deniers ought to be worried. Pollution of any kind. We are bound to see places like China doing something, probably in a near-panic, to reduce emissions. If they don't, they'll make their cities unlivable and the filth will spread. We did the same some...

    My husband doesn't believe me.

    Some of these posts read way too much into the OPs post. There is no legitimate reason to be certain of whether the marriage in question is long-term solid or not. My feeling on the matter? Yes. But I know darn well that it's based on far too little information. And I certainly don't feel...

    Happy Birthday, Sarah Palin! [W:249]

    You know....I can picture Todd and Sarah at home........ Sarah: "What am I going to do, Todd? McCain nominating me for VP has made me a nationally known public figure. I have a following. There are people who would pay to hear my visions of what this nation can be. I can't ignore the demand...

    Happy Birthday, Sarah Palin! [W:249]

    Is that what they mean when they say that the 1% work harder than the rest of us? It's all so clear now............. Maybe I really should be grateful. And more respectful of my "betters".

    Happy Birthday, Sarah Palin! [W:249]

    Hey! That's good!.......Oh, wait a minute......that was serious? She resigned the Governorship because she figured out that she could rake in a whole bunch of money on the lecture circuit (plus a bit from Fox Nooz). The Governor of Alaska doesn't make nearly as much. I'll give her credit...

    Commie Q&A

    Take my word for it; you don't make patriotism look very good this way. And you don't make your foes look very bad this way, either.

    Asset forfeiture laws

    Yes. It's one small aspect of something that makes me quite pessimistic about our future. We are terrible voters. For evidence of this one need merely look at Senators and Congressmen who hold their seat for fifty years. They accomplish almost nothing. When they do accomplish anything, it's...

    "It may not be perfect, but it's the best system there is."

    Yes. I've often wondered why we can't have civil unions where no one is even concerned over who's sleeping with who. Civil unions where the parties involved might not be sleeping together at all. I don't see any reason to rush into one of these. But some folks might be able to do good things...

    Greatest Threat To World Peace: The United States of America

    This is true. But that does not mean that any and all resentment toward 'the big boy on the block' is silly or unjustified. Well said. We have been, and probably still are, the greatest nation the world has yet seen. To think, though, that this means that we could never do wrong is...

    Republicans need to shut down people who call President Obama an 'enemy combatant'

    Re: Republicans need to shut down people who call President Obama an 'enemy combatant I think this is exactly the reason that the Democratic party primary voters chose Obama over Clinton; they figured that the right couldn't possibly hate him with the hysterical vehemence that they hated the...

    On Secession

    I've not had time to digest everything I've read in this thread. But it does seem that the argument has been going in circles a bit. If the various sovereign states are truly sovereign, then it would seem that secession is a meaningless question. They are, by definition, free to cooperate, or...

    "It may not be perfect, but it's the best system there is."

    Okay. That's more than fair enough. In fact I would think that anyone who cares about anything would agree. Yet we still don't have a thread here that has anything we can sink our teeth into. Real nuts and bolts stuff. Though we did get answers like, "The guy who was sacrificed entered...

    "It may not be perfect, but it's the best system there is."

    Yes. I've been having a hard time getting my head around the original post and the answers that came along. I'm surprised I made it to page 3, for that matter. I suppose the OP was saying something along the lines of, "Don't be too sure that history will congratulate us on our shining example...
