Then there are those other days when it seems you are walking through sand dunes and keep sinking with each step and every step is an effort. Is that just the normal ebb and flow of life? How is it determined? Random happenstance?

Should they be admired and respected or are they nothing more than cracker jack toys? Why?

That any vet could do such an insulting thing as that means he is not part of that brotherhood and the medal has no value to him and McCain and others also have no value to him. i cannot understand it .

Will you compromise with your own ethical principles in order to meet/please the expectations of others?!
Will you stay true to who you are, even if it means you're left on your own, and risk being excluded from social circles?!
What are your thoughts and perspectivation that you try to live by, and how do you implement them for yourself to your online behavior, being part of an opinion site?! less

Now imagine each 'dish' agreeing to mind its own business while allowing individuals to move from dish to dish in search of a better life. Is this a bad thing, and if so why?
Imagine a modern refugee seeking a new home where s/he can be free of oppression and to pursue his dreams. If all the world becomes homogenized, where would s/he go that would be different?

How else can one explain the GOP’s bizarre nervous breakdown this week, shortly after its own convention, inspired by the same brand of Trumpian behavior that has been on clear display for the past year?

The points on the antlers grow towards the back of the deer instead of to the front and the points have more of a curve to them. It's a genetic mutation caused by a shallow gene pool (not enough diversity in the genes). It doesn't seem to effect the health of the deer they just look goofy. Cheers!

How do we KNOW HE isn't the one who plans to take America down and out? Because he says so? Just look at the havoc he caused already with just his words? What do you suppose he could do if he had the POWER to DO and not just talk?

I guess all Trump supporters are attack dogs. If you were either of them would you do the same thing or would you never have supported him in the first place and taken the political consequences? Why?
One assumes from what the Trump son said that whose women who ARE subjected to sexual harrassment are not strong women but are weak because they "allow" it. Really?
