Should a travel advisory be issued for Turkey??
In light of the many recent bombings I'm quite surprised no advisory has been issued yet. My own mother is travelling there in two weeks and I'm a little nervous about it. Has any warning been issued in your country? http://m.rte.ie/news/2016/0313/774600-explosion-ankara-turkey/

2016 Democratic Presidential Candidates
As much as we don't really need another thread on the subject, I wanted to say something about tonight's debate (1/17/16) without posting it on one of the other candidate threads. Tonight's debate left me feeling very frustrated. I'm still going with Bernie Sanders for the major reason that he wants to take big…

WHICH DEM WILL THEY SUPPORT, HILLARY OR BERNIE?
If you know their history, they're definitely not afraid to let their voices be heard when it comes to politics. The Voters for Choice shows were great. They of course supported Nader, and definitely were behind Obama. Many of you have written that you thought that one big reason they are touring is due to this being an…

What the fuck is wrong with the USA????
This being an election year,many people will go to their voting stations and blindly cast their vote for who they think will better lead the country.

Bernie Sanders, Democratic Socialism and Hippies 101
Let’s toss around some ideas and post some information about how these three subjects are related. Maybe by doing so we’ll all learn something. The latest ploy to discredit Bernie Sander’s is to smear his image by making it appear that he wants everything to be free and that he appeals to a hippie crowd. Let’s start with…

football championship > rape victim
makes me fucking sick that sport, football or whatever comes before and is deemed more important than a clear victim of a sexual assault.

What would you do to improve the Republican Party?
I'm not saying there is nothing wrong with the Democratic Party. In fact, many of the same problems plague both parties, particularly corporate influence. But even some of our most staunch Republican Party members here have admitted their party is a disaster. The most telling symptom is the fact that after 8 years of being…
