Americans spend way to much time and place way too much importance on who people are fucking. Since most of this countries backward ideas about sex between consenting adults comes from Christian doctrine, it pisses me off even more. When I hear atheists actually following these Ideas about sex it makes me laugh. They are no different than the Christians, as they choose what they want from a doctrine they supposedly don't believe in.

Baghdadi’s Death Doesn’t Mean What Trump Thinks It Does

Sticks48 comments on Oct 28, 2019:

It doesn't mean a thing. Someone will replace him and nothing will change. trump will brag about it for a long time, but most folks won't care. Most folks don't even know who Baghdadi is. Everyone knew who Bin Laden was.

Some questions for those members that do not think that Trump should be impeached, why?

Sticks48 comments on Oct 27, 2019:

Voter registration in the U.S... Republicans 25% Democrats 35% Independents 45% I think trump should be convicted in the Senate and dismissed from office. My fear is if he is the Republicans will nominate someone more centrist, and the Dems will nominate some one too liberal for that 45% who are centrist, and we will lose. If you can't get a big chunk of independents in a Presidential election, you can't win. I am very liberal, but I am practical, and I believe if trump runs he will lose. Besides the fact a majority of people don't like him, you can tell trump fatigue is really kicking in even for a lot of people who voted for him. It is something everyday and has been that way since before he was elected. People here are worn out from this daily bombardment of his bullshit. IMO

I want your opinions. Should Trump be impeached and thrown out of office?

Sticks48 comments on Oct 27, 2019:

I think he deserves to be thrown out, but I would rather he run for re-election, because I think he would lose. Another Republican, especially if they nominate a moderate Republican might be more difficult to beat' especially if the Dems nominate Warren or Sanders, both of whom I like, and scare the Independents who make up 45% of registered voters. A couple of million more voters in California or New York won't make any difference. It is about the Electoral College. The middle of this country is awfully red.

I agree totally. I gave up a career in advertising at 25 to play music and have never regretted it. I was suited to the lifestyle and always had a love of music. I didn't make the money I would have made in advertising, but that is okay. I loved the freedom of lifestyle I have enjoyed for most of my adult life. Get up when I want. Go to bed when I want. Eat when I want. Everyone has to figure out what is important to them.
