@memorylikeasieve A big hefty fine would be great and also one they should be educated when it comes to discrimination. Give them a dose of "blue eyes versus brown eyes". You may not be familiar with it but you can google it. Jane Elliott a former teacher started it. It is amazing.

@joedaveblake Funny how parents are nervous around their small kids but as soon as they turn teenage and demanding the parents seem to give in.

Its about bad parenting and dumb culture that encourages ideas that its ok to try and fight a cop or resist arrest

Jolanta replies on Oct 29, 2018:

@Renickulous Well you need to look into it. Police can go into any house/business or search a car and confiscate, money and goods if they suspect that the money etc, etc are from crime. They don't have to prove that it is from crime and it is up to you to prove otherwise, and that is hard to do. People who are on their way to buy a new car for instance that get pulled over, the police confiscate the money etc, etc. Here you have it, be careful with your savings; civil seizure, is a legal process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing.

Jolanta replies on Oct 25, 2018:

@SpikeTalon I am not interested in starting trouble, I guess it is easy to start calling people names when one doesn't agree with something. I always used to think that groups would want to experience different opinions, seems to me that it is almost impossible in the US. How about just agreeing to disagree, no name calling is needed. Yes middle ground in not always possible, however I get exasperated with people who refuse to see another way, especially as in parts of the world that way is working just fine. I totally agree with you that there are things that are just black and white. Good to hear you are not an angry American.

@SpikeTalon You seem to think that in a group of people everybody will think and feel the same about everything, well I have news for you. In any group there will always be people who have other options especially after they have really looked into a matter. No I am not upset at all, this just proved to me that it is a yes group who only scratches the surface of what is going on. Rather sad I think, after all not much in this world is black and white, and there are many shades of grey too.

@TheMiddleWay I live in Australia and our population is very diverse although small, however we have more than one party and independent candidates who run and sometimes get elected. Australia is not a small place either. We also have “movements “, like GetUp, they are not a political party but take up issues that are important to people which they work on, educating the population and politicians. Likeminded people get together and try to make a change. For instance we just had an election in a constituency that has been very conservative for as long as it has been there, GetUp educated and lobbied people in that electorate that the independent candidate won, its sending shockwaves to the government. That is how you do it.

Jolanta replies on Oct 20, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay I am not sure about that. I think people go with the main parties for different reasons, the main reason is that they don’t think that they have any chance of winning, which is most unfortunate, because you will get more of the same rubbish that you already have and nothing will change. You all need to try to get out of that mould.

I'm a bit old to worry about looking cool but there is something just so satisfying about letting foul words rip LOL

Jolanta replies on Oct 12, 2018:

Maybe you need to expand your vocabulary. But yes I know what you mean. I object to it when every second word is a four letter word.

Using four letter words doesn't make you look cool. You just look like someone with an ugly mouth.

Research shows cursing is good for you and your friends.

Jolanta replies on Oct 12, 2018:

This research must be one of those “false” research, probably done by a foul mouthed person. I have many friends and none of them appreciate it.

It’s sunny, it’s sunny.....hurrah! Depends which part of the world you live what weather you wish for. I do realise that you have a serious problem in Australia with drought, and don’t want to appear flippant. Glad you are having some rain at last.....you would need quite a bit for it to ...

Oh, Barak started it, did he. So what do you call all the protesters over the years prior to Obama?

@Trajan61 If that is so, obviously the conservative group only want people who are yes people, nobody who can think for themselves and put two and two together. And I am not a troll.

Not a "conservative," but I joined up to pose a question to the conservatives in this group.

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

@bigpawbullets Hi, I actually come from one of those Social Democratic countries. Yes people or some people are not happy with the "influx" of immigrants. They are afraid of all the propaganda against "Others", however a larger proportion of the population don't feel that way and the Social Democratic way still works fine. Unfortunately they did get far too many people in a very short time and that is hard to assimilate. The problem is also that it is hard for immigrants to get jobs, not because they don't want to work but because the negative media input. Talking about "slackers" is just adding to the problem both for the immigrants and the local population who start believing it is true, so the wheel goes around and nothing gets solved. That doesn't meant that there are not "slackers" there. I am sure that you personally know people who are "slackers".

Some times I think liberals shouldn't be trusted with their own money.

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

@Morganfreeman Hardly true. Plenty of Liberals are rich, some inherited it, some worked for it, some conned others out of it, some stole it, etc, etc. Just the same as Republicans.

Leutrelle comments on Oct 8, 2018:

I wondered what President Clinton's trade repercussions would be. I knew it would hurt American workers, but I didn't see China becoming a world power. If Hillary would have won she would have given what's left of America away.

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

There is nothing to do about what has been done by previous presidents whether they were Republicans or Democrats. Both parties love free trade agreements because they can make a lot of money for themselves and do not care about the population. You need to understand that most rich people don't care about you. They talk like they do but talk is cheap. I can tell you that China is already a world power, they own a large chunk of the US and also the rest of the world. The US have borrowed billions from China and if they wanted it back you guys would be in deeper shit than you are now.

Rather than try to compete on the issues, Democrats are now talking about packing the Supreme Court.

buck1977 comments on Oct 8, 2018:

and they really don't want to win elections....perpetual outrage and zero responsibility is their comfort zone...

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

Of course they want to win, they are just going about it the wrong way.

Leutrelle comments on Oct 8, 2018:

If the Dems have it their way they will shred the Constitution and replace it with a Marx-us document. They can only do that with illegal immigrants.

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

I think you need someone to tell you that illegal immigrants cannot vote and don't do so. They do not want to get themselves involved in any governmental business as they would be discovered and deported. So little time and so much to learn.

Jolanta replies on Oct 9, 2018:

@HarrySlick, @bigpawbullets We may need to one day. I have come back from Sri Lanka and the Chinese are building an artificial island just outside Colombo, not good. Also our stupid government has leased on of our sea ports to the Chinese on a 99 year lease. Twatts, only interested in the money that China gives them as donations.

I wonder how you would like women grabbing you and really squeezing. If we look at what he has accomplished as a President what do you like the best. How about how he revoked the laws about dumping toxic waste into waterways.

That is moderate and it is trending. The government has no right in our personal lives the more they are invited in the control takes over (this is what religion was intended to do) the fewer liberties we enjoy.
