The Love Thread
This is a thread that I hope will stick around. A place for love. Stories of love, love poems, things you love about life. A place to discuss the very nature of love, what it is, who can attain it, and how it gets lost. All things love, you get it!

Man sues New Jersey State Police for sexual assault during body search for marijuana
By Phil Gianficaro Columnist Posted at 6:00 AM When a New Jersey State Police Trooper nearly undresses a suspect during a body search for marijuana on the side of a busy Burlington County roadway, it raises a question: Why? I don’t know if Jack Levine had recently sparked up a doobie, shared a bong, or auditioned for a bit…

Dying alone

Flags at half-staff proclamations
What types of events or people should be receiving this honor? I was just thinking about this as I saw the order come through my email for flags to be lowered in remembrance of Billy Graham via Trump's proclamation. I don't know a lot about Graham, but I found it a little puzzling at face value. He doesn't seem to rise to…

The Internet Apologizes
Interesting article! What do you think? Appropriate apology or unnecessary? My thoughts run along the lines of the first words of Dickens' Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of…

Book Excerpts
Thought I'd create a thread where we could share exerpts or ideas from books that we might be reading or have read. Purpose? Stimulate curiousity for the book or to generate discussion relevant to the material presented. Here's a little tidbit from The Shock Doctrine: All public officials are required to divest themselves…

Trump's Lies
Someone suggested in another thread that there should be a separate thread dedicated to Trump's Lies. I think that's a good idea. Here is a start, add to it as needed (which should be a lot). The complete list of all 42 false things Donald Trump has said as president The Star’s running tally of the bald-faced lies,…

Bombings in Austin TX
So this guy has now set off 6 bombs. I'm sure you've all seen it. 3 in packages left on people's doorsteps. 1 with a tripwire across a sidewalk. 1 mailed from a fedex across the fucking street from me about a mile away that blew up in a distribution center south of town before it would have made its way back here. The last…
