Again... Obviously not, so I've WON! At what point are we going to re-name the forum to"The Jerry Springer Forum"? Seriously! This reads on the level ...

Emotions are highly personal; thus highly supported by personal bias. I find emotions and their foundations are very relative to the individual; thus ...

I view "heart break" as letting emotions take over and that usual leads to many mistakes in spite of "good intentions". I suppose that's why a appeal ...

I'm really sick of the "threat of ISIS" in the USA. There are far greater threats... like the NRA or the Tobacco Lobby. Seriously... Scientology is a ...

I was curious, as when the "coup" (if it really was a coup) occured, I was watching Austrian, German, French, British, Turkish and American media as t...
August 22, 2016 at 15:33
That makes me think of a question. Is the US media still reporting anything about Turkey other than that Turkey serves a strategic purpose in the figh...

In my case, politcal parties are like epistemological ideals. I don't hold to any in particular, but I do wish to expose them all for what they are re...

Share what exactly? Simply make a list of what bothers me in that I have the notion it "breaks my heart"? Fine... Well, you mentioned something in the...

That doesn't really make sense or you have simply left out what it is you really want from us. The problems, such as the one you posted the photo of, ...

Off topic (well maybe)... Baden's comment brought this to my mind. This is why, in spite of the pictures, ask myself... why report this and why now? T...

Guys... ... thanks for lending support of my suspicion. Now... please kiss and make up. This arguing is getting us nowhere. Meow! GREG

Either/or... the real problem is when what come isn't what you want or need and it simply won't go away. In short... I've had a cold for 10 days now w...
