Most Americans are leaving. Why any of them would stay I cannot say. Is sound a good weapon to undermine/sabotage/cripple the targets?

I would have thanked her and given the books to a needy school. I don't see the need for making such a big deal out of a gift. I think it was rude and really didn't serve any good purpose. The books could have gone to the needy school(s) quietly. Why make such a case out of it? What would you have done and why? less

But your parents trained you, educated you about life and how close are your beliefs now to what you were taught then?
Massive tax cuts for whom? Removal of estate/inheritance taxes. For whom? Trickle down? Give it all to the wealthy and we will get their crumbs? Seriously? SIGH

If you don't realize you are wearing them you think you get the big picture and base your views on the same restrictions as you do on your sight. Going through life wearing blinders hobbles/cripples you. Some folks refuse to remove them. Some never put them on. Different strokes.

Apparently companies like Coca Cola, Microsoft and Amazon pulled their ads because they noticed the placement of them was sometimes alongside videos of hateful, offensive or pro-terrorist content. Is all hate speech welcome in your opinion ? Should it be allowed no matter the target, the language, the source, the endgame? Or should hate be contained, restricted, confined, censored? Why?
