Does this thread reference the shooting massacre{s} of late in Florida?
If so, the ability of this sites membership to avoid any sort of direct references to discuss, is truly incredible.
But then.....
it's 'dhajjie' territory to take a candid look at the facts of the matter.
Best to just dance around the issue with broad generalities.

Also....'markoid'.....
it's 'Obama' as in president Obama...not "obamah".....

I mourn the dead, not because they were gay, or mowed down by an asshole,
I mourn for the human race and crimes against humanity.
I hold that agenda driven murderer's should be exposed to the light of day for what they are and how they came to blight the human race.

Wierd that gun sales go through the roof after each of these killings. Especially of the type of gun used.

A dad of an eleven year old in my son's class posted a photo of his son firing an AR15 gun on FB.
Truly, I give up.

I know I seem to be so unpopular here that my voice doesn't seem to matter anymore, but I'm getting increasingly sickened by the Republican Party in my country right now. I've just heard some pathetic accusations from Senator John McCain blaming Obama for what just happened. (Like that's gonna deflect their own responsibility!)

I think it's time to stand up against these right-wing morons and their similarly slimy and bird-brained redneck supporters. It's their fault for these lax gun-laws and loopholes. Of course why should those bigots care anyways? The victims were just gay and Mexican...

Obviously. The NRA are bigger than killing your own people? Obamah can hardly get healthcare through The Senate, which is historically Democratic.

I despair, then again the UK is no better.



We're slightly better in that you can't yet walk into your local Wal-Mart & buy an automatic or whatever. If that day comes, we're fucked.


I listened to 5 minutes of Trumps speech, and I felt physically sick. Really. I fired an email to a friend in Boston USA, and said what the hell?

She doesn't understand it either.


Hope she's not Mexican cos she'll be trammelled into constructing the great wall soon. Can this really be happening?

A letter from America.

This country is insane, Mark. It seems there are intelligent thinkers and there are club-weilding neanderthals. The neanderthals are loud. I've been fed up with this place politically since Bush - well, Reagan - and it just gets worse and worse.

I originally thought that Trump got into the race to give Clinton a boost by making the Republican party look ridiculous, because no one could possibly gravitate to his rhetoric. It's clearly repellent. I thought it was his game, because he was always friends with the Clintons. I think it may have been, but he can't resist the adulation, and so has stayed in. You're the professional expert, but I think he's mentally ill.

But it's the public that scares me. I live in Boston, where most people are reasonable, even if they are Republicans. But so much of this country is decades, if not centuries, behind.

What's your stand on Britain and the EU?
