It may not convince you but I'm sure the Hippie will return in 2-6 months and bring peace to the middle east in less than a year and do great miracles. Ok, see you in 6 months. Let me rephrase plz, he will return in ca 1½ year. Sorry. He will be proclaimed king of Syria and Yemen to restore the lan...

Dumbed down language? There are two ways of looking at it. One way is what you say. The other way is to see that to follow rules of grammar and spelling is a sheepish behaviour; you do what you are told, you never sway from the prescribed way, you are dumbed into submission to always do the right t...

Amy Adams. This lady has the charisma, but how? It has to be energy. The best in any field of endeavour are always more energetic than most. Energy (energetic) is the one commonality that threads through all at the top. Among other things, this flick is about the abolishment of proprietary rights, ...

Yes.

If you say what you say were true, then they could spell it also "lhose" on the pattern of "whose". Or they should spell it "lho's" on the pattern of "who's". Or "lwos" on the pattern of "twos." Or "loos" on the pattern of "toos". And don't tell me "toos" is not a word. "I love her, and Gerry loves...

It is possible that the incidence of cold-hearted killers has increased among young adult Americans. Again, I have no data. Feeling faint. Very nauseated. Beginning to regret my OP. You might be right there, but obviously if everyone refuses to go then there is nothing much anyone can do about that...

Vegg, have you ever heard of "spelling mistakes"? Their social acceptance may lead to proliferating bad English, but at the same time accepting them will teach you restraint and humility, inasmuch as accepting the occasional mistakes will teach you to withhold sarcastically-worded superiority state...

All that grinning and yee hawing that American soldiers carry on with,...

Old veterans (who seem to love war so much)... No, many old veterans abhor war. I’m an old veteran and a pacifist. When I was sent to the War in Viet Nam, or the American Invasion, depending on which side you were on, I never met anyone who wanted to be in a war. I met over 500 combat infantrymen d...

The guy who won't be king. That has a nice ring to it. I can just see the billboards, with lights flashing around it, "The Guy Who Won't Be King" Starring Arnold Schwartzenegger and Claudia Cardinale As Andrew and Somebody Else Directed by By Special Appointment Of The British Monarchy Carl Spencer...

No, many old veterans abhor war. I’m an old veteran and a pacifist. When I was sent to the War in Viet Nam, or the American Invasion, depending on which side you were on, I never met anyone who wanted to be in a war. I met over 500 combat infantrymen during my year in the war. Only one wanted to be...

'Loosing out'. That's an expression I haven't heard. What does it mean? Vegg, have you ever heard of "spelling mistakes"? Their social acceptance may lead to proliferating bad English, but at the same time accepting them will teach you restraint and humility, inasmuch as accepting the occasional mi...

Now countries simply buy other countries, rather than going to the messy bother of taking them by force (empires are so 'yesterday' darling).

Except the USA, apparently.

Gotta keep those arms manufacturers happy.

You seem to think world wars are justified if one country invaded another. You seem to be putting words in my mouth. It's a place to live... Until it gets invaded and your house ends up being the front line. Then it wouldn't be a "place to live" anymore. FFS. And aliens might turn our flora into sa...
