DNC Philadelphia 2016
Welcome to Philly. I'll be your eyes and ears on the ground. Let me know if I can get you a cheesesteak, or better yet a roast pork sandwich. Perhaps a Victory Summer Love to wash it down. Protests have been going on for weeks. Let's hope everything goes well and everyone stays safe. Some political star power coming…

Catalonia Declared independence from Spain
What's it all mean? Is this a big deal? USA Today makes no mention of it ... but the 3rd top story is about a guy getting locked in a beer cooler overnight at a convenience store. Is this less important then getting locked in a beer cooler? Hmmm ...

What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding?
Jesus, Joseph and Mary, the pages are full of horrors and pain and war and death and hell and shit and shit and shit. Somebody please tell me, "what's so funny about peace love and understanding anyway?". Why not "give peace a chance"? Will "Love and Only Love" endure? I don't know if I should just run naked down the…

Sean Penn's 'interview' with El Chapo
Nothing cool about it. I can't quite eloquently explain why I am not impressed or why I think he's just a little more douche-y with this latest stunt.

World War III?
This shit is getting out of control. I'm truly scared that a new World War could change the face of the world. The new video calling for attacks on the western world in general by Ayman al-Zawahiri is a huge step forward towards a huge war. It could unite the shiite and sunni sects, both of which have huge militias. I'm…

Off the Radar.
Wow- there is so much craziness in the world these days! If the idea for this thread doesn't fly, that's cool with me, but I thought I'd give it a try-- a place to post significant events that are overshadowed by other, more "newsworthy" events (some of which really are, some of which perhaps not so). To start with, here's…

Milo Yinnoppoulos UW event riots
As an open minded independent myself and my girlfriend wanted to see Milo at UW in Seattle this weekend. In line I got to meet a lot of trump supporters who had traveled from all over to see Milo. People grew tired because the line was 4 hours of waiting. They haven't seen anything until they wait in line for the rail at a…

Are people generally becoming more rude/ less courteous?
Honest question. I hope the answer is "no". Sadly, however, I'm noticing more and more people (sorry to say, especially younger people) are more and more rude. What led me to ask this is a series of events recently. Here are just a few recent examples: -Yesterday a guy half my age driving a large pickup truck nearly ran me…

Obamacare is a mess
So, the Feds can't pay for the money Obama promised in a law nobody read and now it's being blamed on a responsible Congress who refuse to fill the hole left by the colossal (purposeful) miscalculation by the prior regime?

Conspiracy Nuts?
After reading some pages from Kabong's thread about explosives in WTC I realized something. Aperantly most of the posters here are very quick to label anyone who believes in conspiracy theories as a "nut". I see that they call them nuts because they believe in things that dont have alot of logic and just dont make any…

Sean Spicer resigns
I finally found a teeny bit of respect for Spicer. I never understood how anyone would want to lie and obfuscate day after day. Huckabee Sanders is even worse. "the president has been quite clear..."
