  1. There is more the one branch of the federal government last time I checked, and local elections matter more starting with my HOA and local city government. I didn't say I was absent from those. I'm not playing any card, just repeating what your candidate has said over and over.
  2. If I fear death and want to be controlled, I would like a miracle to save me. If I don't need or want a miracle to save me, why do I care if God exists? I can always show you my invisible dragon. He lives in my garage and he's a miracle you can't disprove.
  3. Cosmos was both a book and TV series. Sagan was big on television being a teaching tool, and it was a scientific look at the development of the Earth, Universe, and human history. There are no references in any religion to life being on any other planet than Earth, so if it is found - would it prove all religion on Earth wrong? Pale Blue Dot was his "sequel" and it is even better.
  4. I can't say I've ever voted for anyone in a presidential election, as I've never thought since I was of voting age I had any power. Does voting for Trump empower you? How will it affect your daily life if elected? Will he get rid off all them Messicans and lower your taxes? How about if he promised subsidies for Volvo 850 restorations? Fervor is not long last, and promises are forgotten. I don't believe in our larger political system, so I choose not to let it influence me.
  5. He suffers more than the average politician from false consensus bias.
  6. Who picks a running mate without getting the nomination? That's like picking a wedding day without a fiance. Cruz will never be president and Fiorina will never be vice.
  7. Glad for the O'Reilly warranty on batteries. SuperStart died last week so got a new one for free since it had only been 24 months. Went and drove the 850 to get a final log for Aaron on tune # 20 before the dyno, but forgot to record .
  8. I wonder who Trump will pick to be his president.
  9. Show me the law where it is illegal for a man to use a woman's restroom, and vice versa.
  10. Guys can go Jame Gumb and see how it turns out for them I guess? Even in my old age I was not required to undress fully and shower after PE, and that was the early 90's.
  11. Kids don't make those kinds of awkward demands in their teen years. I don't see any schools doing anything about it, but if they had too its easy as almost all have a single stall HC bathroom that could be used for that purpose.
  12. In Europe you usually get two bathrooms, no signs for male/female in public spaces. If one is open you use it. I happily piss in front of female bathroom cleaners when I'm there all the time. Media hoopla and distracting politics. This stuff is on the "what is important in life" scale is at a -12.
  13. Jesus is a Jew, he gave all he had to the poor. Book of Mormon has him in the Americas as a ghost. Am I missing something? If Bernie dies and is resurrected, you would then vote for him then. Same story line.
  14. And your faith is based upon a Jewish American socialist. Tell us again why you're not voting for Bernie?
  15. No, A UK boarding school was part of the promotion so it was more about what makes our American school different (IB, ELL, Houston big city exposure, being in the US.) Our African dictator's daughter is withdrawing due to health reasons, so that is over. I did just have one of China's most famous movie stars enroll her brother at our Manhattan school. You can't buy your way into our schools, and there are always red flags in any application. English level, academic achievement, and external motivation still weigh the most in admission for international students.
  16. Me at a swanky 19th century hotel in Odessa doing TV interviews.
  17. Really cool house. I would love to move to the "countryside" someday myself if I had the opportunity.
  18. I honestly don't give a monkey, was just curious (and you changed your reply you sneaky peach). Do you think Trump is the answer to change the political system being voted into office, or is your appeal in him his mockery of how everyone lies and its all corrupt, so try burn it down and see what happens? Make it clear for us which of the two is his goal.
  19. Nowhere. Just like the Trump plane mayday, maaayydaaayy.
  20. Being able to catalogue and predict extreme changes in global climate in less than four recorded generations of climate data research with exponential human population growth is real, makes not difference what your politics are. American expansion should be enough to let you know you may not be monkeyed, your children probably won't be monkeyed, your grandchildren are likely to be monkeyed, and your great grand children will be monkeyed unless we care enough about the human race beyond our own progeny. We should be building tidal sea dams now, not walls along the Mexico border.
  21. Gary, have you ever spent considerable time outside of the US?
