Brian1971: imo for several century's politics and religion has killed more people then any disease. To this day both breed hate and violence. I dont think in the 21st century with our growing technical era how one can blame it on technology. People have been ignorant many years not just since we grown technically. Actually more people today hear your message. Years back your neighbors were the only ones you feuded with. Sadly, imo things will just get worse but as a christian you have the return of Jesus to look forward too. For non believers who believe in science, they too are critisized by christians. I think god fearing people should be the last folks to complain about the atheists in their life and pray for them and love them just as jesus himself would have done. I think to many Americans complain about the system that they actually abuse themselves, and then collect funds from the honest tax paying citizens.

universe: Ok I wasn't focused on just religion and Christianity. Go back and look at the whole message. However as a Christian I do have many friends who do not go along with my Christian views and it has not gotten in the way of our friendships. I do not mandate they think like me and do love those who oppose my views. However the basis for my original message was the fact you cannot support anything or there are people who will attack you and label you as some bigot or other negative connotation. People should be free to express themselves without someone or group trying to automatically give you a negative label or try to silence you if they do not agree with you and that goes for everyone. In the United States we have freedom of speech and religion, etc. However sadly there are those factions who try to silence those who they disagree with and not allow for freedom of expression. I do agree that there are many abuses of the system. It hurts people who desperately need the help as there is less funding to go to those individuals. My wife and I are those who could use the extra assistance. I live off a fixed disability income of less than $1000 a month and my wife brings home about 1200 a month. We barely make it. If any emergencies arise we have to sacrifice something we need to cover it. We are denied medical assistance from Medicaid, though I was able to get my medicare premiums covered. We try apply for food stamps and they either deny us or the last time we were accepted we got 16 dollars a month. What can one buy on that for 2 people? So yes the system is broken and the next president needs to reform it and get rid of the fraud and make those who have abused the system start paying the system back.

crosseyed: Religious or non religious - lots of people doing good works. They don't often make the news. Sometimes they do but most often they don't. They represent a huge majority of people. Those that do bad and violate the trust of others most often make the news. However, especially when it comes to children, it's terrible to read that someone in a position of power abused that trusted position. Children should always be protected and loved, guided and nurtured. Whenever we read where abuses happen, it's not the fault of religion, it's the fault of the fallen heart of men and women.

crosseyed: I believe I said that. So we're in agreement there. People of all flavors can do good things and often do. I was simply pointing out that we hear about the bad people do because that makes the news. Feel good stories are a segment of only some news programs and are a small percentage of the overall coverage.

This election: I'm leaving the human race for the next three months....and then will self-induce a coma no matter who wins.

is coming to my city this coming Tuesday.

ketchuplover: We'll you'll be in the news. Wonder what stupid thing he'll say in your town?

Papa Zoom:

Gerald Ford came to the High Schools. Don't recall the year. Called my city West Bank. Secret Service didn't care for the popping of balloons.

ketchuplover: I think Trump came to my State but I'm not sure. He can't win anyway. I can't stand big crowds so I'd never attend a rally. I live in a small town. I play guitar with the mayor here. lol. He's a conservative and we have coffee and chat about the city. That's the extent of my involvement in politics here. I like to read about it and complain but I can make differences elsewhere. ;)

Papa Zoom: I think trump has a chance
Things are goin to get interesting

Bwild: Maybe. If he'd stay on message and stop it with the attacks. Hillary isn't very likable. She's an easy target. Have to exploit that. And there's the promise of an October email dump that will land Hillary in plenty of hot water. I'm hoping for that. I'd love to see her in striped pantsuits.

Russia - is only one country in the world, where Trump has a rating relative to Hillary 3:1 (in small towns - 10:1). Are Rednecks and vatniks brothers forever ? ( i hope YES).
Surprisingly, even russian jews from brighton beach will vote for Trump (4:1)...)))
I think Trump - is american Che Guevara (he was born 14/06) . He makes America great again)))

the 35th voter today.

Why Trump won? The United States voted against the war or other reasons?

against the status quo

---from Michael's McFaul twitter ‏:
Congrats @PutinRF @M_Simonyan @SputnikInt @Zhirinovskiy @KatasonovaMaria . Победа!

Is anybody from Wisco...Wyoming here?

PaoloRus:

I am in Wisconsin

adamantium :)

I can't start crying!

Rest in Peace, dear Comandante. You were a real Hero and great Fighter. And shame on you, Donald ... too bad that the Cold-War stereotypes are still alive .. It would be a powerful Left/Right alliance: Cuba - Iran - Marine Le Pen - Putin and You against the Illuminati & Al Caeda. But I do not cry, cause I know who your opponents are. Let it will be just the words that you said about Fidel.

PaoloRus: Marine Le Pen ?! You mix all people !

it's going to be a bumpy ride

nah nah nah nah. hey hey hey, Obama's gone.

Obama's gone...Obama's gone...hey hey hey...Obama's gone. GO TRUMP! USA USA USA!!!!

Brian1971: I'm with you on that. No more Obama. It's been a long 8 years.

Brian1971: YAY!!! I am with you guys on Trump!!

Years ago this board would be lit up but most are really shocked still but I can say Im looking forward to Pres Pence after Trump is impeached.

The worst of the four won in the first round of the elections in France. Нe is disgusting, he's like French Hillary. Will the other three unite and block his path? We do not need Trump anymore :( Trump offended Kim and Bashar.
Now we need Marin Le Pen!

Do not forget to vote correctly in the second round, bro )) we will win!

PaoloRus: It's Marine. And no, we don't need her.

PaoloRus: Here in France we have never seen such disparate results. Before, there was always at least one of the big political parties for the second round, but not today. Here, many people don't agree with European policy and don't want politicians with problems with the law. I wonder what the outcome will be.

Result of the French elections : our president will be Macron.

works out there

will become assistant secretary of Homeland Security. Adjust your schedules accordingly

This is what it has come to

Wow. Not a word about Unpresident Trump since he turned the White House into a Palace of Lies and the GOP Congress into a kennel of fawning lapdogs. Where are the celebrations for all the "Winning"?

Carnie: Agreed. I also like the Jefferson in Trump.

Albeit a newbie to politics, Donald Trump is proving to be a great President.
The United States has been in sore need of a man how believes in America first.

Bwild: I fully support him

Merkel's reign goes on for better or worse

Carnie: Oh yes! Your Kleagle must be proud of you. Keep it up!

Carnie: Yup, that is correct. We do not even have the Internet and I am typing this on a typewriter connected to a potato. Toilet paper is a problem indeed. The most popular party in my country has actually teamed up with some of your fellow citizens to import some striped fabric for this purpose. They say it is very soft. I cannot wait to feel it.
