Is America's interventionist approach necessary to stop Russian intervention?
I'm curious to hear people's opinions on this. My cousin subscribes to the "interventionism by necessity" handbook when it comes to America's foreign affairs (specifically with their militaristic intervention). On the topics of America's role in shaping the South American countries, as well as shaping the countries in the…

Question For Muslims
*I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm hoping this might be an ok place. If it turns into a shit show, I'll have the mods shut it down* one of my 9 year old daughter's best friends is Muslim. I suspect so, anyway, based on her name, and how they don't celebrate birthdays and such (all invites she gets to birthday…

Attn: Hillary Supporters
This is a very simple concept. Us Sanders supporters understand that Sanders wont get much of what he is proposing done, however he will fight like hell to get the corruption out of the system, which down the line will lead to a better govt. for all.

Help with Rare Disease Diagnosis
PJ Family, For the past year, my family has been working with doctors to understand our daughter's (Maya) "balance issues". This past spring, Maya received a diagnosis of Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia 7 (SCAR7) aka TPP1 Deficiency. Maya is the 8th reported case in the world. At this stage we are trying to find…

The difference between being against an industry and being against the workers within an industry.
Another thread on AMT got me to thinking about this subject. I would like to propose that it is very possible- wise even- to be strongly opposed to certain types of industry (or at least industry practices) but at the same time do not vent that malice toward those who work within that industry. I first came across this…

What the FUCK ever happened to Insignificance?
Just saying, now more than ever this song is relevant as we appear head on a unstoppable collision with WWIII. Think about since 2001, how more and more of our freedoms have been slowly taken away, not all at once, just here and there, so too much protest isn't put up, but when you look back it is a lot, most places are…

I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to Edward the egret (named by my family for biologist EO Wilson and one Mr. Vedder). Tracking bird movement and behavior helps scientists learn more about the birds and it also helps…

Mother's Day started as an anti-war protest?
Mothers' Day Proclamation: Julia Ward Howe, Boston, 1870 Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War, as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who had lost their sons. Here is the original Mother's Day Proclamation from 1870. Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our…

Question for Hillary Clinton supporters.
At the outset let me say this: I'm creating this thread with the intent to ask an honest question, NOT to bate or troll any Clinton supporters. So here's my question followed by my own observations: What is it about Hillary Clinton that appeals to you and why do you support her bid for the presidency? I'm especially…

HB2 and boycotts - evolving perspectives
Yes, the issue has been thoroughly discussed, but I wanted to share something that happened with me. I was in the Hampton line when the Raleigh show was cancelled. Things worked out for me because I went down to Columbia early and ended up with much better seats than I would've had had I gone to Raleigh. Nonetheless, very…
