Did you know that a bazillion electrical and electronic thingies DEPEND ON rare earths as among the components for then to be manufactured? Did you know that China has threatened to cut us off due to the sb prez tariffs ploy? Did you know that would deeply harm our security since everything we produce to insure our security is made with rare earths? So if China refuses to provide us with the rare earths we need for the bazillion things we manufacture what do you propose we do? Go to war with China? Stop the tariffs talk?Every day in every way scarier becomes the norm in the good old US of A. Hey hey hey! less
What about Wu Who? Wouldn't that be worse? Actually Wu is a Chinese surname so few if any Chinese have it as a first name. But it was fun anyway, right?

Ain't he sweet?

Then I found out that Flo Rida had "sampled" the opening seconds of Etta James singing in her "Something's Got a Hold of Me." Here I had wondered who is this great female singer? Flo Rida repeats her, over and over, making it sound like someone is singing along - - but it's literally just the opening seconds of James' song; just her phrases repeated, over and over.:)Here are both songs, Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" first. Then Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold of Me" and the opening part that Flo Rida used.James never ceases to amaze me (I only "discovered" her recently) -- and, now, I can hear it's her. But up until I found out, I had no idea.:) less

"It does so happen"? I mean isn't that childish?Why argue with someone who is telling you an absurdity. I can't figger out people who do/say stuff like that. Do they know they are calling you a liar?
I experienced it only once long ago with an ex. The peculiar thing was that it was so obvious that is what he was doing. I could not figure out why until much later.

If it happened to you too did you ever figger out why?

I realize that TRUMP is insulting to America, but this is insulting to sharing and contributing to a preferred way of life.How do they get to sit on their butts and just bask in the glory of America without lending any input into what is needed and wanted?Educate me on this one.

In real life they're probably very varied in their interests. It happens.

Could it be multiple millions who stay away from engaging with or interacting with the normal things citizens are SUPPOSED TO DO?If everyone who were eligible to vote actually voted wouldn't that be the ideal YOU would like to see? That way every citizen gets a chance to speak via his/her vote. Isn't that a good thing?
