Polls

When someone, anyone, countenances or advocates committing violence to or even murdering a person by name, law enforcement should be authorized to detain (not arrest) them and spend the night in the can for questioning the next morning but no charges. THAT would cut back on the worst hate speech. Save your snarky responses. Its a good idea. Take the poll.

“Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F. C. C. ahead.”

Quote B:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. in between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this... Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. demolition, construction. this is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

I walk down the aisle of the store where the sanitary products are for sale, everytime I do my shopping (I have no choice it's the aisle for toiletries etc.), and I've seen the Menstral Cup ridiculously priced, and therefore probably never used.

Probably the store is not the place to buy this item, but I would have thought if the cup was popular there wouldn't be much of a need for the other products.

If this was the case the price of the other sanitary products would increase through a lack of demand.

Do you use the cup method for your periods?

For me the answer is no.

First, if the NBA didn't subsidize the WNBA it wouldn't exist, or if it did, they would be making less than minimum wage. The NBA runs the WNBA as a net loss.

Second, I can only name maybe one player. Just one. And their stadiums are almost always empty. They get paid less because they bring in less money. And again if the NBA stopped subsidizing them (which in my opinion they should), the WNBA would just disappear.

Third, you could put the very best WNBA team against the very worst NBA team, and they would get smashed. Hell you could put them up against a high school boys team and they would get smashed (kinda how team USA women's soccer, went up against retired wrexham players and got smashed)

Basically it makes no financial sense to pay WNBA players the same as NBA players when the entire league is a net negative, they make no money essentially, and their skill just doesn't match their male counterparts.

"Israel has no reason to stop the IDF created genocide. NONE. Their reputation is global trash. It will stay global trash and they know it. The world is distracted by the Trump irreality show and Bibi is the savviest operator of our generation - never let a good crisis go to waste.

Israel only needs one partner, and one partner alone, the United States, and at a more granular level, the Trump-MAGA Party. Israel will sacrifice ALL others in this ever evolving parasitic & symbiotic relationship.

Bibi / Likud's (there is no difference) primary plan now, is fourfold:

1) Continue to deeply intermingle Israel and America - so much so that you don’t know where one ends and the other begins.

2) Neuter the Knesset, the courts, the media, the arts & especially the secular electorate.

3) Fully scrap the Orthodox draft exemption under the guise of this 10/7 Hamas "extraordinary situation" while simultaneously avoiding responsibility for it's politically charged demise

4) Annex Gaza for development with Trump private companies in exchange for continued military, intelligence, diplomatic support."

I've been watching ladies tennis, and they don't act lady like. They shake their fists at the other player every minute, and how they don't end up fighting each other I don't know.

What is your opinion?

This is a question i never thought i would have to ask.. But in recent the trump team has assigned the removal of slavery history specifically the bad sides of it from national parks and museums.

www.washingtonpost.com/.../

While the depictions and evidence of the literal scars of slavery are being removed from museums and national public spaces. Trump's team supports renaming forts back to the people who were on the side of the confederacy... let me make this absolutely clear. The confederacy wanted to keep slavery legal. To support confederate members and its confederate flag, is a support for slavery. Yes I get that some people claim the confederate flag is a symbol for southern pride.. but be real, its for the support of slavery.

Reinstating confederate names to Places like
Fort Barfoot
instead of honoring a medal of honor recipient that has no ties to the confederacy they chose to name it after a confederate army general George Edward Pickett

Fort Eisenhower
being changed to Fort Gordon, instead of honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower a former president who didn't support slavery, they instead chose someone that supported the confederacy. However with respect to Gordon's accomplishments in the war. Still Gordon was on the side that supported slavery.

Fort Gregg Adams
The current trump team wants to rename it back to Fort Robert E Lee, a confederate general. It was named Fort Gregg Adams, for Lt. Gen Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams accomplishments in the military and they didn't have ties to the confederacy.

But I think you get the point.
Why allow so much confederacy praising in an america that doesn't want slavery?

It just seems like we got a bit of an internet problem in this country where kids go into certain online spaces and become radicalized... so i feel like this is something we all need to get better about. Being aware of what they are consuming and if they are on troubling sites the parents should raise alarm bells and at the very least have a conversation with the kids about it.
