bigridge There is no way anyone making arms deals with China and North Korea is a "a good thing." Why do the African countries not spend their money on developing socially and economically instead of buying arms to kill each other and starve the rest? A country can buy...

In your opinion, when was the last time that the U.S. had such a poor field of candidates in the presidential race? Not only the primary. The way things have panned out this far ahead of the party conventions, we're stuck with a...

bigridge bojangles .... To say the U.S. refuses to cancel foriegn debt is too broad of a stripe to paint. There are a couple hundred million tax payers in the U.S. that will agree with me on that. We forgive more debt than any other country in the IMF. You say you are...

bigridge Great quotes friendship. I'm not a big Flexner fan but, he did bring food for thought to the table. Yune means well but his context is sort of convoluted. If you want to go bare bones with Yune's statement, we are very rich because of our multiculturalism. I...
