RE: Make ALL drugs legal,............... take it away from teh criminals

"Everyone"? Count me out, because I support Prohibition of alcohol, for society's greater good, although I am realistic enough to know it will never happen.

RE: Who would you choose as the leader of your country?

Not a bad call.

I'd even be happy with the Apostle, Paul, the original conservative activist.

RE: What's your favorite romantic love song?

Your comment is based on an actual song by Billy Ocean, and I clearly remember when it was #2 on the charts......showing my age.

RE: Who would you choose as the leader of your country?

So we don't have to pick someone form our own country then?

In that case, I pick Jean-Marie Le Pen with Pat Buchanan as his deputy.

RE: Who would you choose as the leader of your country?

I agree completely.

RE: More Dead Journalists?

Reads the news on Infowars.........good chap.

RE: Who would you choose as the leader of your country?

Agreed.

I don't think Brexit will ever happen; it was never something the Establishment were willing to countenance anyway. The "referendum" was only ever designed to get a pro-EU vote, and when the people revolted and didn't vote the way their masters wanted to, the Establishment has been scrambling ever since to make Brexit such mess and so chaotic that the politicians will have an excuse to forget the whole thing.

RE: Who would you choose as the leader of your country?

Rees Mogg is good value.

RE: Are children of this generation lost?

Rest assured, "they" have definitely thought of it, and it is only a matter of time before microchipping humans at birth is a matter of routine.

This is the look I was going for......

RE: Text Messaging Between Family Members and Close Friends..

Several times, I have had people come to my house for online auction pickups, and rather than knock on my front door (which is apparently too much effort) I get a text saying "I'm here".

Geeeeeeeesssssh..... what is wrong with people??

RE: Important

The OP's graphic makes a valid point, and I for one wouldn't help people to avoid or know there was a radar speed trap ahead, for example. People who drive recklessly do not deserve my consideration.

Yet random breath testing is slightly different. I feel uneasy about the police stopping people at random, without any suspicion that they have committed any crime, just in order to find out if maybe, perhaps, on the off chance, they are doing something illegal. In my opinion, this is not a precedent we want to encourage.

RE: Buyers remorse....

But that's the nature of technology. It quickly becomes worthless.

Early cellphones were the size of a handbag and cost several thousand dollars.

RE: Does anyone believe in Unidentified Flying Object AKA UFO?

This question is probably meant to be asking - do you personally believe in UFOs?

But the way it is worded, it is actually asking us if we believe that anyone believes in UFOs.

RE: What's your all time favorite 1980's comedy-drama movie?

Why no mention of that stunning masterpiece of cinema, Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

They don't make 'em like that any more........

RE: Peoples Priorities

Sadly, the graphic in the OP's post is not that far off the mark, for some people.

Years ago when driving a taxi, I had some passengers one day from a social housing complex, who were very drunk, and who proceeded to load into the car a large television set, before giving me directions to drive to the pawn shop.

I innocently asked if they were planning to pawn their TV, and received the reply (devoid of any irony) "yeah, we've run out of beer".

It was one of my saddest memories from that time.

RE: How cruel.

In Western countries, people are homeless by choice.

RE: The Epic Clash of Queens

I wish.

RE: More Dead Journalists?

Huh?

RE: How American are you.

A nice post.

And I'm a Trump supporter.

RE: Compound Words

Skinhead

RE: More Dead Journalists?

As far as I am aware, David Knight is not dead. He has simply had a heart attack and is recovering. Not uncommon for men his age.

I like David Knight, he's kind of like the guy you wish had been your Dad.

RE: Compound Words

Millpond

RE: How American are you.

That's nice, but I fail to see how someone is "more American" (or for that matter, more Australian, or what have you) because their family has been there longer?

You have only been there since you were born, so surely it is irrelevant whether your forebears arrived hundreds of years ago, or a year before you were born?

RE: Compound Words

Windrush

RE: The Epic Clash of Queens

But why are Creepy Clowns in this movie? I don't get the connection?

RE: Make ALL drugs legal,............... take it away from teh criminals

We need to ask ourselves why our governments want a doped-out population.....
