How you perceive the Yemen raid situation depends ENTIRELY upon your politics. Of course it does. What else in life is as ubiquitous and rigid as partisanship?

Once again because the politicians can't get their acts together athletes suffer. Isn't that wonderful?

YET on its beaches have been found pieces of zircon dating back 2-3 billion years. Undoubtedly swept up by currents from the lost continent below. 2-3 billion years? 8 million years? How do you grasp/process that amount of time? Would you like to be a geologist and discover such amazing things? Or an archaeologist? Why?

Trump is also taking antibiotics to control a skin condition called Rosacea. Don't think he had permission to do this. How much trouble is he in?

Terrorists could be coming in every day...hordes of them. Not so hard to do . Just have impressive-looking phony paperwork and b e well-trained. The only sure way to keep terrorists out is to close all our borders completely and allow no one in. Forever. We still will have the problem of weeding out the terrorists who are already here . But once we do that we will be very safe and secure forever more. Won't we? less

For example in 2014 there were 1600 varieties of bananas. There are/were more than 2000 varieties of plums. Among the top 15 food species are soybeans, peanuts, rice, wheat, bananas. How long would you have to live to taste every variety of every species of edible-to-humans plants? Further complicating things. New varieties are being created all the time. I wonder what the first species and variety of the first plant humans consumed? They probably stuck to eating other animals first. less

What is the difference between, say, misremembering; equivocating, claming alternative facts, and categorically denying something? And what are the other degrees of lying?

It seems as if there is some confusion about what a personal attack is and how it's different from offering a different opinion or disagreeing with someone.I'd love to hear, in your own words, what the general concept of it means to you.
