If a women is attacking you and you see no other option, I am ok with a man hitting a women. The man clearly has the advantage so he should not use any more force than absolutely necessary to minimize the risk.

I wish we weren't such a violent species. it seems to be our to go to option when conflict arises in a lot of cases. Violence to me is the least evolved way to deal with something.

If you wait to vote your conscious until a "safe time", you'll always be stuck with the status quo.

I disagree. It is not bs. 3rd party is not going to win. Majority of 3rd party members lean right not left. Voting 3rd party will give democrats majority in the court because republicans will lost those votes. Bernie fans polled in the 80's to support Clinton. Which you would think would go 3rd party, but they wont by looking at current polls.

How else are you supposed to pursue happiness if not medicated? You need insurance for that.

We are animals. Of course we result to violence. It's the lack of restraint nowadays that is scary.

Haha, your ilk thought he'd lose in a landslide the two times he ran, and ended up with egg on their faces both times. He's more popular now than he was in the run-up to either of those Presidential elections. 100% chance he'd exceed the 50%.

California.

I would never tolerate my husband hitting me in a threatening way especially if unprovoked.

Clinton cash movie drops in a few days that should provide more entertainment

I feel like we should be evolved beyond that point. I guess I have unrealistic expectations.

All presidents poll numbers jump when they can no longer run. Is his leagacy ObamaCare? Ughhh that would suck.

I don't think there will ever be true gender equality because men and women were never made to be equal. Men are better at things that women arent and women are better then men at certain things.

Again, I disagree with your perspective. You're trying to estimate the reaction of others. That's the biggest issue (IMO) with this country: people are so darned concerned about what everyone else is going to do. Concerning yourself with you and your families best interests are all people should really worry about.

Again, it's YOUR vote. Do with it whatever you please. I just know that I have the cajones to stand up for my beliefs. While I would appreciate any support I can muster for GJ, I would rather encourage people to vote for the best candidate for them. If that means writing in Bernie Sanders, DO IT! If that means voting for Dr. Stein, DO IT!

I find it literally astounding that people say that they don't like EITHER Clinton or Trump, but will still vote for them. People wonder why elections are bought and sold; there's your answer. There are people out there that will vote based on what the media tells them the big bad wolf is...

Really, you aren't familiar with this part?

We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I mean, it's right there at the start, man.
The 2nd Amendment came later.

we've only been on earth for a very short time it is going to take a lot more time before we evolve that much.

We're a very tribal group of people and we hate others.

Well, uh, that's your opinion, man.

Are you telling me W. Bush's numbers "jumped" at the end of his second term when he couldn't run again? Sure they did, right into the Grand Canyon.

jcardstore · 07-20-2016, 12:03 PM

I find it hilarious how jdandns attacks my post and then simply ignores my response... I have since finished my coffee and I'm still waiting

I can rattle off countless Hillary scandals. Obama certainly wasn't a pathological liar. I never liked Obama but at least he stood for something and he was genuine. Hillary only believes in the money and what's in it for her, she's the opposite of genuine.

I would like a conservative court. Would love to see Roe vs. Wade overturned. I have my beliefs and trust me I have the balls to vote who will do what is right for the country.
