Re: Did you vote?
I think what everybody is missing is that both parties have been pulling further and further to their extremes. What in the holy hell are you talking about? Sanders and Warren barely qualify as Left and we didn't hear anything from them this election. There isn't even a real left-wing branch of the ...

Re: Rhythm of the falling rain
You do know Arabs are living Israel? You know Jews live in every Muslim country? I don't see your point. Israel's goal is to take over whatever they deem historic land and set up a religious state. It's no different than ISIS establishing a caliphate in the Levant. I personally think Israel is ...
