Re: trump off the CO ballot
There are issues with the way we pick elected representatives, but there are issues everywhere in the world where there are elections. I'm just glad we have elections to complain about. If things were as bad as you say they are, power wouldn't shift back and forth the way it does in America. Oh com...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Perhaps you recall the dem primary in West Virginia where Bernie won every district by a lot. The state was given to Hillary. That sound like a democracy? I didn't recall that. So I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, Bernie Sanders won 51% of the popular vote. Hillary got 36% Other candidates sp...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
This fellow over at National Review doesn't like it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-bastardization-of-the-boy-scouts/ar-BB1m9BGJ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=LCTS&cvid=b53d3750dd45459094ec86e3d8555b7a&ei=12 The truth is, I'm quite sympathetic to what he is saying, except for one thing, but th...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Alan Dershowitz doesn't think too much of this case that Trump is now being tried for: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-trial-stupendous-legal-catastrophe-115500210.html I'm no lawyer, but I have paid attention to commentators on the case. I've heard Jon Stewart and Bill Maher talk about the case, b...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
Point on American Scouts - they still don't accept atheists. Yeah...I forgot about that part. To be fair, not many people in the organization care. When I googled the subject, one of the first hits was an unofficial page for atheist scouts giving advice on how to navigate scouting as an atheist. Ba...

Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
Some years back, the Boy Scouts of America announced that they would start accepting girls. And they have. Some 6,000 girls have now become Eagle Scouts. And yesterday, the Boy Scouts of America announced they would henceforth be "Scouting, America". But Boy Scouts is an international thin...

Re: Planet America
I was heartened that there were very few comments in the replies blaming the victim. There were some, of course. They said the victim shouldn't have answered the door holding a gun. Everyone I saw that did try to make the argument got a response explaining why it made perfect sense to have a gun in ...

Re: Planet America
Bodycam footage on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xneXZ6MnG84 It's a good thing there are body cams these days. Cops will have a hard time defending this. Without body cam footage, he would say that the "suspect" pointed the gun at him and the cop acted in self defense. I suppose...
