Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Perhaps, but then I would guess it would depend on the breed of bear--polar bears and grizzlies and brown bears are much more likely to attack than black bears, and I would question that, even if bears were more likely to kill men than women, I would question whether this is die to bears coming into...

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
True, but a bear may well attack or kill that same woman for intruding on "his" domain.

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Reminiscent of Rudolph Hess in his latter years in Spandau Prison. Or Pablo Escobar (but he called the shots more). But even if he were incarcerated in a special facility (and I seriously doubt he'd be incarcerated at all) I don't think he'd count it as a win. He couldn't spout off to the press day...

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
I would love to see how Romney reasons the NY prosecution is a win-win for Trump. IMHO, just getting him to sit there and be quiet is a win for us all.

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Personally, I think Romney is like a lot of politicians, republican, democrat, or other who are concerned that if Trump can be prosecuted, so can they. They don't have to be very corrupt, but I would bet many, if not most, politicians have made some concessions that could put them at risk, and it sc...

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Nah--I think he's just positioning himself for the nomination if Trump cannot accept it (for whatever reason--maybe a bullet, maybe a health crisis, the possibilities are boundless). I seriously doubt any person with an IQ over 80 would want to be Trump's VP.

Re: SETI
Duck and cover was also proof that we were aware enough to understand what we brought about, but not enough to do anything about it other than pass it on to our kids as "business as usual". When I was in primary school, I was almost certain that we would have a major nuclear war before I was 21, and...

I guess it is South Africal; the first flag I saw online must have been an old one.

can anyone identify that flag for me; it looks like the zimbabwe and south african flags, but is a bit different from each.

Re: God & Country
Meade--Last I checked, Christmas is a federal holiday, but your point is well taken. Then again, I think it's all part of the same plan, or at least the way it is marketed--the mythical "war" on Christmas or christianity is used as a rallying cry to get the masses to line up behind a lot of the idio...

Re: God & Country
No argument there--I'm more than willing to embrace diversity of views; and, IMHO, the "christian" nationalists are entitled to their own views as well. But letting the government weigh in on what is acceptable is a double edged sword. I can't see why they'd take that chance, but I guess they're wag...

Re: God & Country
Not to mention that the other problem, form a religion's point of view, is that when you invite the government to interact with religion and endorse it, you run the real risk of having government dictate religious doctrine (or at least acceptable religious doctrines)--so in school prayerleads o the ...

Re: Biden is a coward
They needed a strong military commander with the power to be able to keep the country safe from invasion regardless of what else was happening at the time. Of course they did; that's why they disbanded all but a small portion of the continental army and fought like hell against funding even a small...

Re: Seinfeld's rant about political correctness killing comedy didn't age well...
I tend to agree; Brady is a jerk, always has been, and is only out for number one. He played football well and earned his money, but that doesn't make him any less of a jerk. Were his ex-wife and kids there?

Re: Seinfeld's rant about political correctness killing comedy didn't age well...
I did not see the roast (and have not seen one for a long time, but there is a lot to be said for eschewing political correctness under the right circumstances. Lenny Bruce made a career of it, and some of his routines I have heard are pure genius. But the point is, the audience has to know what to ...

Re: Biden is a coward
And, thus, the imperial presidency continued with him, much as he tried to claim he was against it. I think a lot of people would be happier with a king who could rule autocratically, and most presidents would prefer it as well, despite their protestations to the contrary.

Re: Biden is a coward
Actually Meade, I did, and I am not certain of the particularities of that law; however, even if the author is correct that Biden could "legally" do this, I personally do not think a president should give military aid to a country that Congress has expressly said the US should not given such aid, or...
