US military defends our freedom...
With all of the talk about giving thanks for this hero or that hero when is the last time the US used the military to truly "defend us"?

Why common sense will never win
Every argument about either guns, immigration, healthcare ect ect will never end. Most will jump on the political bandwagon that fits them. Sure you will probably argue why or how that you don't do it. But you do. We argue and disagree based on the extremes of every situation. Never really offering a real solution but a…

Deadliest School Massacre in US History...........
was in 1927. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster Have we gotten more violent, or do we just hear more about it through media? I always here about how fucked up we are becoming and how violent people have gotten. This was almost 100 years ago. So......are we more violent now?

This place is toxic (not meant for anyone personally)
That's all I'm going to say. I come on here and everyone's a cynic, bitching about the latest horror reality story… because people refuse to stop paying attention to the fucked up media. Yes, the world is loaded with lunatics. But this place is focused on the lunacy rather than the possibilities of greatness, let alone…

Elliot Rodger - California killing spree - all the issues
Well I'm really surprised there isn't already a thread about this, particularly given the underlying issues surrounding the case. As you see on the 2 videos in the article linked below, this case has again brought up the gun laws issue in the US; one of the victim's dads has pinpointed gun laws as the thing to fight for in…

Bad is the new Good
Here's how it works: Occasionally I purchase items on-line that I can't find locally (I always shop locally at independents first!) - usually either a book or a record for myself or a customer. It used to be that if I wanted a decent but not necessarily a great copy I would look for an item described as "good" or better.…

Heroin epidemic
I don't know about the rest of you, but it's a real problem here in the NE. Vermont, if you read the cover article of a Rolling Stone a couple months back, has the worst problem in the country. Why?

On this day in 1979, John Wayne, an iconic American film actor famous for starring in countless westerns, dies at age 72 after battling cancer for more than a decade.

Discrimination?
I think discrimination is an interesting topic. Most people's initial reaction to the word is that discrimination is wrong, but we all discriminate every time we make a choice. On what bases (plural) should we be allowed to discriminate on?

Tiananmen Square 25 Years Ago
When the Tanks Rolled In It was the night that the frightened old men of the Chinese government chose to ‘kill the kids instead of change’. Under one-party rule, the same men remain in power today and continue to pretend the Tiananmen massacre never happened. Below are graphic images from the the evening of June 3rd into…

Is EPA's 30% carbon cut enough?
Saw this on Huffington Post today: The EPA is calling for a 30% cut in carbon emissions by 2030. In 2007 I organized one of several local "Step it Up" rallies throughout the country (and others through the world) telling Congress we need to cut carbon 80 percent by 2050. I'm not sure how to do the math but the EPA goal…

Should racist comments force LA Clippers owner to sell team?
I was wondering what you all thought of the LA Clippers owner situation. I suppose depending on the outcome of an investigation of course--- there is a lot of talk of forcing him to sell the team for his alleged racist comments. Should he be forced out of ownership if found guilty?
