So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon in

it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.

i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?

... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.

currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.

it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.

i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

really, wtf!.

the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

i have just finished watching this john oliver and thought he was great.

i found a utube of him.. then i remembered bill hicks and his take on religion and advertising.....he was sort of hard core in terms of never holding back in his incredible and disturbing humour, but i really loved him.. anyone ever heard of him?

of course some of you must have....

Do video games cause bad behaviour in children?

my boy is 10 and has got very interested in pocamon cards.

( a game way to complicated for me to understand) but i've also noticed it's linked to a computer game, which seems harmless enough but i also noticed advertisements for more violent games appear.. i would value people's opinion on whether, you think video games cause bad behaviour in kids.

i should mention my kid says i limit his time on these games, much more than other children's parents, and i was thinking of reevaluating that rule.. thanks.. the rebel..

so i was fooled by the witnesses.

what can i learn from that?

not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

Hope y'all in Texas are doing OK !

some terrible flooding happening there.. i never realized that texas was so prone to serious floods and flash-floods because of the geography and weather.

it tops the stats nearly every year for flood fatalities.. stay safe, stay dry if you can and don't take any chances.

water is unbelievably powerful - whatever vehicle you have it can sweep it away like a twig.
