Polls: Society & Politics

Traveling Europe and learning the ropes... which station do you get off to switch trains... or none? This is like "monopoly"... get it right and you keep moving, get it wrong.."pay $400, do not pass go". you mis your next train, get caught up in a complex train system and lost for hours... maybe days :) I can see how people end up in the lost and found in Europe.

We survived this leg of the trip with the help of outgoing helpful Americans whom saw us in distress and intervened to direct us, and as well some French angels that saw us in line, pulled us out, and got us on a train to our destination. There's good people in the world... counting good fortunes...

I will give correct answer in a short while...

This breaks a record for most Mexican and Central American visa workers in exchange for $1.5B dollars towards the wall.
300,000 Mexican and Central American workers will be receiving working visas which is more than any other president in history. AMLO, president of Mexico, is paying $5,000 per person.

$1.5B is only out of $11B so far the wall has costed us.

Do you think would be good idea to honor those in war, on both sides who died or killed.. recording their life, at least acknowledging?

I personally see the war as a useless mess and waste, on both sides. Most are... Iraq was, to me. Pointless and dangerous, for some... permanent. The soldiers have little choice and the civilians have only to run if they are lucky.

As General Smedly Butler once said..."war is a racket".

I say this as I just visited the cemetaries at Normandy, gives a minor sense of the misery required to bring about peace of that time. Every grave contained a story and a tragic ending we'll never know.

Thus, have a web site posting all those whom were killed, that we know of... ideally, war as a method of control, should be reduced if not eliminated.

I mean "special military operation", "oops we invaded", "ummm... it was our country before you jacked with it", "police action".

It has nothing to do with race because white be have to show ID too

I have never seen western society devolve into such a mess. No one has any moral compass no ethical value system at all. We are told to accept the intolerable ways of the few who are sick in the head. We have men wanting to be women, pride parades with men dressing up as dogs in leather outfits. Borderline nudity classes as a family friendly event? We are carving up confused children who are taught at a young age that they don't even know the difference between a boy and girl then telling them to question their gender? War? Famine? Leftist who throw god out to the curb and loose their ways to immoral society whim and call it "Acceptance".

Time and time again I see larger percentages of women than men who favor leftist ideologies. I see it polls. I see it in comments. I see it in attitudes. I even see it on f*cking dating apps. And of course we know the voting percentages when it comes to gender.

On the surface I can understand why this might be. Leftists promise women the following:

• So called “freedom” with you body. No shame for being promiscuous and/or aborting a unborn fetus if you aren’t ready
• So called “awareness” of a “patriarchal” western society that oppresses women and a “need” to fight it.
• So called “equality” (excuse me “equity” now) or should I say a so say wealth distribution to those with lesser means vía socialism.
• So called “love” by not just accepting but taking things a step further celebrating those who take engage in alternative lifestyles (homosexuality, transitioning, etc.)
• So called “justice” by demonizing historically “privileged” groups of people for the sins of their fathers.

From an emotional perspective I can almost see the allure of the above.

But I feel the our western society has reached a point where all the above are no longer truly oppressed. Even when it comes to abortion and Roe vs Wade you can have the freedom to travel to a state has no restrictions. Many corporations will even pay for your trip now. Some states are entertaining the idea of using tax payer money to pay for the trip. And of course you can take responsibility to prevent getting an unwanted pregnancy in the first place. I don’t need to elaborate.

But besides pro-choice vs pro life (and whether is true freedom or not) do you really believe the direction of the Democratic Party will make women have happier and more fulfilled lives? It’s a bit ironic depression rates keep increasing for women in the last few decades besides having all this so called “progress”.

Anyway I don’t expect to talk anyone out of their political views on here nor vice versa.

For those who missed it, a conservative commentator approached her as she entered the capitol and said:

“Here’s AOC, my favorite big booty Latina,” says Stein. “I love you AOC, you’re my favorite. She wants to kill babies but she’s still beautiful, you look very beautiful in that dress, you look very sexy”.

Her response:

"I think the thing that was so crazy about that incident is not even that it happened but that it happened on the Capitol steps right in front of a Capitol police officer and this dude was engaged (in sexual harassment)”.

“This wasn’t about a political opinion or protest or anything like that, he was engaged in very clearly sexually threatening aggressive behaviour right in front of a Capitol police officer, he wasn’t even asked to take a step back,” said Ms Ocasio-Cortez.

Personal note: While she is attractive, I never considered her to be "big booty".

Happening right now with both Democrats and Republicans. Republicans think the BLM protest gives them a free pass on January 6th while Democrats think Trumps kids doing questionable things gives Hunter Biden a free pass. To me corruption is corruption no matter what political party you belong too.

As an example Trump supporters think January 6th should be forgotten about/moved on.

Other much lesser crimes they don't forget about though, and don't have the same tolerance level, E. g. if a black person committed an assault, they certainly wouldn't forget about it and certainly would expect that person to face Trial.

So why do they complain so much about January 6th?

Do you find that attitude pathetic and hypocritical?
