If they had listened to you it would have been avoided but they didn't. Do they deserve what they brought upon themselves or do you make excuses for them? Why?

She is a supporter/defender of his so I'm pretty sure she was serious and not trying to be insulting to the Donald. Now when you think of the Donald does he remind YOU of a chimpanzee?

Do you look for ways to extend a helping hand or do you keep both hands tightly closed in clenched fists lest anyone think you are interested in being of help to them? Why are some folks giving/helpful and some folks the opposite of that?

The North Korean leader is unstable both mentally and emotionally. Why wave a red flag in front of him or poke his eye with a stick? We already have an undiplomatic head of state. Having an undiplomatic Secretary of State is not a good thing. If Tillerson gives up on diplomacy what is left? Does he really want to provoke a war/showdown with North Korea? Why?

After 4 years it will be BIG LEAGUE BIGLY BIGTIME expensive. That doesn't include his golf trips or whatever vacation trips he and his EXTENDED FAMILY will be taking at taxpayer expense. But hey whatever he wants is A-okay with the folks who voted for him. No cost is too great for them. He is worth every cent. Isn't he?
Is there somebody who has achieved so much in a field that interests you that you have taken the trouble to learn about them and their lives, and how they managed to do so much?

Is it more creative to be surrounded by crowds or to live in solitude?

There was Nobel laureate, Ernest Walton, who split the atom in 1931; Shaw and Yeats, both literary giants; artists like Jack Yeats (see pic). Who would you like to honour by listing them here?

As he jumped, he screamed something out. The director asked what it was and he said it was an Irish battle cry, so it was left in. When the movie was released in Dublin it brought the houses down, for what he had yelled was, "Pog maho-o-o-o-o-ne!" -- which translates into American English as "kiss my ass".

Had she said, "You make that hat look very pretty," it would have been blarney. What's your definition?
