  How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  in addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.

  i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.

  this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.

  The US does not exist in a bubble - the US political climate affects way more than those who live within its borders.

  To clarify, I was referring to "most" of our news. I do understand some of the USA's actions affect nearly everyone on the planet, so it makes sense to pay attention of course.

  It's the rest I don't understand--American lawsuits, legislation, celebrities, artists and social issues that do not affect other countries. There are so many other rich cultures to pay attention to besides ours. I fear those cultures are being outshouted by Katy Perry, octomom, Kardashians, the red carpet, etc. Am I right to be concerned?

  Ok, so pranks can be therapeutic for the one pulling them. That's one thing it accomplished.

  After that, nothing.

  The accusation, "Apostates lie" has been held true in this case.

  And why let the guy know the effect his wacko talks is actually having, unless you want him to stop?

  and remember your boosters as adults!.

  currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.

  vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.

  Sorry, nope, I need to say one thing more.

  AZ pediatrician angry over cancer-fighting daughter's exposure to measles

  When Dr. Tim Jacks' wife took their 3-year-old daughter, Maggie, to get routine lab work done after her latest round of chemotherapy, they thought everything went well. That changed when his family got a phone call from a Phoenix Children's Hospital representative telling them that someone with measles had been at the specialty and urgent care center in Mesa at the same time as Maggie.

  
  While Jacks would like to see Maggie vaccinated, that's not possible while she's battling leukemia. Her compromised immune system puts her at risk for a variety of illnesses...

  "Are you old in this system?" Feb 2015 broadcast video. Must watch

  if you have not already watched the feb 2015 broadcast, go to approx.

  it has an elderly sister talking about being old in this world...a long time pioneer who probably thought the end would have come years ago...as the society told her many times.. now she is told to be on a mission to get young ones to also pioneer, and watch for the not so subtle condemntion of higher education!.

  sickening stuff........ they missed the obvious elephant in the room.... a life wasted on nothing...now she has no money, and lived waiting for a fairy tale!

  Sad. He probably caught it while enjoying himself on his boat.

  Wouldn't that make most of us blasphemers? We're blaspheming against a religion and a holy book.

  What do the laws prohibit, exactly?

  Are we blasphemers, in the eyes of those laws?

  Serena Williams

  i am a big tennis fan and today i watched serena williams win the australian open, one of the four tournaments which make up the pinnacle of achievement in the tennis world, the grand slam.

  in her victory speech the first thing she said was that she thanked her god jehovah for the victory.

  now i know that rumours have circulated for a long time as to whether she is a baptised witness or not, but she is definitely associated with witnesses .

  she admits to having several personalities, and each has its own name

  Bizarre. I just Googled this and found several other celebrities making the same claim. Most do not describe the syndrome known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, but rather their imagination. Maybe Serena is doing it to copy them.

  It's AWESOME they put this pic in print. FINALLY showing the truth that they are wacko preppers.

  Some congs don't do the prepping and even people here have refused to believe it goes on. 

  IMO this is a very significant pic. What does the article say?

  Why would anyone have a JW.ORG sign in their unfinished basement?

  It's a fake

  Now I am  still a Witness and this kind of talk makes me mad. The Sovereign of the universe is spending his time making sure a tennis player wins a tournament? Come on!

  I agree, it's arrogant and silly to believe (or even worse, if it was true) for jehoopla to be spending his time on such matters.

  Although jah making someone win a sport event is not one of their teachings, it is their teaching that he intervenes on some small life matters (only for some people at some times) while not intervening with suffering, violence, hunger, etc.
  

  Serena is probably just trying to be politically correct/popular. This often means, instead of taking personal credit for personal achievements, one gives false credit to an uninvolved, nonexistent spirit creature.
