You just went with flow?Why do WE choose things that will divide us rather than that which will unite us?Why must there always be "the other" upon whom we place our heavy burden of negativity hate destructive devious deceit? Is it a NEED or a WANT and why so?Can we not exist as WE? Must it always and forever be US and THEM? Who says so?

Do you tear apart/shred or mend?Do you show up only for battle or do you show up as often for celebration joy appreciation conciliation cooperation mitigation?Is your entire life based upon US and THEM with no desire t change the way you think act speak? How often is there a "WE" in what you say meaning ALL OF US EVERYONE?

The Bar Scene in Star Wars was replete with ALIEN LIFE FORMS. How else would you refer to them? As "foreigners" or something else?Why do we differentiate among ourselves? Them and us. Are you a them or an us? We tend to us us not them but in matter of fact the "them" may be far more trustworthy than the "us". It's moot.

Biden gives the impression that he actually thinks he’s being challenged on the withdrawal decision, or being asked to explain the withdrawal decision.
It has been repeated by the Biden crowd again and again that 20 years of US military involvement has grown to a fruitless effort, especially in view of what Afghanis will or will not do on there own, countless Afghani and US lives have been lost and/or injuries sustained, billions of US dollars expended, and four presidential administrations have overseen the Afghanistan operations. As discharge, Biden decided enough was enou... less

It's Raining Them?! Weather Girls' smash hit '80s classic is reworked for the woke generation to make it more inclusive
(to include more inclusive pronouns)"woke" -- "being highly aware of the things that take place in our society, i.e., racism and inequality," according to one definition.Yeah, I can be "woke" and inclusive, but I also know -- inclusive or not, I prefer men. And I really enjoy the Weather Girls singing about Men and precipitation, NOT every gender in the world raining on me. :)I feel a bit better about it knowing the song's composer is okay with the alteration. :) less

PLEASE GOD keep them safe until they've escaped the terror.Foreign terrorism on display is evil.More evil is domestic terrorism on display as evidenced by GUANOHEAD nutjob crackpots.America "enjoys" both. Why are we so very lucky? More very lucky ahead I expect for America. As fascism racism rises our hopes of ever getting back to the country we used to be become less likely.And so it goesl And the band played on. What could it hurt? Everyone says so.

They could host microbial life similar to those extremophiles on earth that surive in the harshest of environments.I guess life of any size or form is exciting. Not sure how we would communicate with microbes but well who knows?What good is other life if you cannot communicate in some way? It doesn't necessarily have to be a LANGUAGE but microscopic life does not lend itself to anything like that does it?I'm not there yet...there being the purpose of it. Are you? less
