RE: Outrageous In 2020

I think this Andrew Yang is the one to watch. He has something none of the other contenders have - charisma - and that should make him the breakout star of primary season. I don't see him winning the nomination (but then I didn't see Trump winning the nomination either).

RE: Red Dawn & Red October

Russia is on the side of Western values, that's for sure. China? No.

RE: NO COLLUSION... MOVE ON!

Veto O'Rourke?

RE: Was Obama a Manchurian Candidate? Oooooho

I don't think Obama was any more (or any less) a "Manchurian Candidate" than any of the other Establishment creatures who have occupied the White House in recent times, until Mr. Trump.

RE: Why does a 21yr old man always make women broken heart?

You need a more mature man.

RE: Sleepless

Every single night. Brain just won't turn off.

RE: ... Which do you prefer ...

I voted for rugby union, as this is our main sport here in my country.

Personally, I'd quite like soccer if it was slightly higher-scoring. I've always thought they should make the goals wider, to increase the number of points scored. Who wants to sit through an hour and a half game to see a score of nil all?

RE: Boeing to 'Upgrade' software across the 737MAX Fleet in coming weeks

I wouldn't be getting on one.

RE: Which has the better sense of humour?

Probably children, since I remember some jokes from when I was a child that seemed hilarious at the time but are really not that funny.

RE: Who are the top 10 male country stars of all time?

Right....... a poll asking us to choose our favourite 10, and including only 9 options, so that even if we choose all the ones you suggest, we'll still be short.

I think I will move on to the next thread.

RE: What is you favourite Internet browser and why...

There are dozens and dozens of internet browsers available.

More for Windows than Mac or Linux, of course.

I can't understand why anyone would knowingly use a browser that came bundled with their computer, or Google Chrome.

RE: WHO IS MORE SAMART MAN TO ATTRECT WOMEN

Personally, I think a man looks a bit "odd" with no facial hair. But each to their own.

And it is very clear that the vast majority of women go for the clean-shaven look, if they are given the chance.

Personally, I'd like to see a return to moustaches, beards, and sideburns, a l;a the Victorian or Edwardian era. Then women will get what they are given, lol.

RE: Communist Party USA

McCarthy was actually on the ball. And history has proven him right.

The Left won the Cold War, not militarily, but by moving the "Free World" so far to the Left that it is now effectively the Soviet Bloc, without the Marxist economics.

RE: Missing In Georgia

Maybe she's in Liberal1's basement?

RE: Red Dawn & Red October

I have not seen these terms bandied about in political discourse.

Both refer to films from two or three decades ago.

I wouldn't get too worried - there's plenty more serious stuff to worry about.

RE: Which Male Musician – might have faked their death?

I thought Cliff was still alive and living in Portugal or something with his boyfriend?

RE: Which Male Musician – might have faked their death?

None of them, as far as I am aware.

RE: America's PC Vocabulary

Al Jazeera instituted a policy to call illegal immigrants "refugees" irrespective of their background. To their credit, they were open about this, and announced it at the time. But it gets right up my nose every time I hear it.

RE: Friendship

Several possibilities:

1. They didn't like you.

2. They liked you, but don't have time to chat you.

3. They died.

4. They got scared cos your photo makes you look like a Freemason.

RE: Which Female UK singer from the past or present has the best voice?

There's nothing wrong with Tina, Miguel.

RE: Earthquakes

Leaving side the Left's recent inclination to tear babies apart (literally), I think we can all agree that nobody likes to see children separated from their parents. Which is why illegal immigration must be discouraged. Not just for the benefit of the target country, but for the benefit of potential migrants themselves.

RE: Earthquakes

Yet you see nothing "despicable" about people trying to illegally break into someone else's country, and even bringing their children along??!!

I do understand these people think they are helping their kids, but really, they are teaching them to get what they want by breaking the law. I find that pretty despicable.

What would you think of a house burglar who took his kids along with him while he burgled houses? Would that make you think more kindly of him, or less?

RE: Earthquakes

[quote=Liberal1 The women that implemented the despicable Family Separation policy ordered by the President and his Attorney General Jeff Sessions?
A policy that took children and even infants from their mothers and put them in cages and let some of them die? Lost track of hundreds of others with no plan to reunite them with their families? That is who you want us to respect?

The Lord Jesus Christ would be and I am sure is, ashamed of you for using his name to
sanctify your despicable support of these monsters!Yet you see nothing "despicable" about people trying to illegally break into someone else's country, and even bringing their children along??!!

RE: Which Female UK singer from the past or present has the best voice?

What's with all these blondes? Yuck! hehe

Actually, Dusty Springfield also had an amazing voice, so that's a good call.

Somebody mentioned the Carpenters a while back - here is Dusty with Richard Carpenter; a great song and a wonderful showcase of her voice:

RE: Way Down South

I don't think that one could legitimately call South Africa the "heart of Africa".

RE: Does age affect your dating prospects?

Of course it does. The older we get, the less marketable we are.

RE: Would some of you be happier if you could have had Hillary for President?

I've heard of Churchill - a massively overweight alcoholic who stayed in bed until mid-day every day. And Kennedy, a famous womanizer. Who, however, is "Dev"?

RE: Which Female UK singer from the past or present has the best voice?

Now, if you were asking "which one would you most like to go out to dinner with", then it'd be Sade, by a country mile! What a woman!

RE: Now, It's My Fault

That's a good one.

RE: Greggs vegan sausage roll

I'm a normal person (i.e. an omnivore), but my mother is a vegan. Her attitude is this: "why would I as a vegan, want to eat food that looks like, or imitates meat?".
