There are far too many formal and informal divisions, and the country is just plain too big to have the cohesion associated with a collective. No, America is a nation, a b...

"Henry, are you patriotic? Do you recognise what your country does for you?" My fortunes are tied to the fortunes of the U.S., so: it's in the best interest of me and mine that America do well (even if it doesn't always do good ). What I recognize: I pay a tidy sum on a regular basis to t...

its called hypocrisy, and its an equal opportunity employer - regardless of race, sex and religion. It's the human condition. yes it is sadly - due to ego. I tried very hard not to be a hypocrite but I failed. "failed"? not faling? you stopped the fight? if so why so? I've have fought and...

You have a mind, and seem to know history so welcome disscussion - BTW I affirmed than the Atheist Meo killed more than anyone else, your reply to this seemed confusing to me - as if i denied this fact. clarify if you would this particular? maybe you missread my earlier post wrt to Meo? And if you k...

but ya and no, if one was born via monster parents, not knowing of love, such a language would be foreign, and why we have serial killers. so not an easy language to learn (and IMO - post puberty is a "wall off" biologically - and so too late to learn that language) sadly. Hey Gaffo. Ever...

The language of luv. concur in the ideal world - and it would be so if we could choose our parents. sadly we are not so lucky (I was thankfully) and ya "the language of love" (refer to Robert Sheckley's short story on this topic (I did a "radio-reading/drama" on his short 20 yrs...

Only when men and women stop wanting and needing each other and just allow each other the freedom to be themselves unconditionally will they unite in blissful union as one being. In partnership when a man or woman can say to thier other half ''I love you'' but ''I do not need you'', not even sexual...

I know i do, but i'm a beta and fine with being alone with my money - vs the alternative.

That explains why woman seeks in man a safe refuge, and man seeks in woman an understanding listener. Or why men try to impress women with coming on strong, to which women respond with valeur. I think women view coming on strong as a sign of insecurity, use it as they will, to nurture maternally or...

The thing the sexes want from each other is what the other is not equipped or not willing or not able to give. That's about it in a nutshell. A lot of footnotes can be written for it, naturally.

In the highly instructive novel by Frederick Forsych "Avenger" I was told that the US had passed a law that they could chase a murderer of a US citizen also in a foreign country if this country was not cooperating. To do this they would use secret agents, many of them experienced war vete...

I just saw a Brit slamming Yanks via my peoples history, and just stated your people's history is no worst nor better. thats all. I rem the Fauklands war in...

Crusades anyone? Do you mean the comparatively small-scale Catholic crusades done for manifestly political and anti-Christian reasons, noted your irrelivant "anti-christian" wording - to distance your sefl (good that you do) - for the right reasons, (you being a good guy, not that Catholi...

its bad, like my drunk buddy i can do nothing ;-/. Yeah, well that's it, isn't it? She has to take herself out of that situation, in such a case; and unless she un-self-deceives, she won't. She'll just insist that things aren't as bad as you say. In fact, if she's like most women in that situation,...
