| Fantasy Fiction is a very romanticized version of Monarchy, where the primary characters are part of the elite and have power, or are abused the elite and able to take power over them, pretty much never part of the "normal" folks. Who doesn't want to have power and status? To dream you can... |

| There is a stickie thread at the top of the board for parents who are on the spectrum. I think the thread has gotten stale, but the issues they discussed have not. The sensory issues can be a very dominant issue, and I think some coping strategies were discussed in that thread. Worth a read if you h... |

| Which is ironic seeing how both Russia and China hate the US and would love to see us destroyed, which I believe is the whole reason why they would support Trump as president. They know he will make our country unstable. :skull: It might be more accurate to say they hate our political system, the i... |

| Different people respond best to different things, but for many of us something in nature is what can make our hearts sing. In nature, we feel closer to God; He seems more present. The ocean, a garden, a trail, a lake, towering redwoods ... whatever makes your heart sing. Another common stimulant th... |

| If such a ticket would peal away potential Trump voters, I'm all for it. But if it would peal away Republicans who would otherwise be willing to vote for Biden instead of Trump, then I'm not. |

| It was a scandal that Barbie was not awarded. If the producers had shown suicidal bravery, and total commitment to gaining an award, could it have been a greater travesty? I think not. Honestly, I was surprised Barbie was nominated. Fun movie, very cleverly done, but not among the best I've ever se... |

It pretty clearly says if you engage in insurrection against the constitution that you're ineligible to hold office. RIP USA. The deci... |

| One would think Democrats wouldn't have that hard of time offering a candidate and platform with more widespread popularity than Donald Trump. It's like they're trying to lose. It’s like they both are trying to lose. Not the first time I've felt that way about my political party. The deference the ... |

That isn't exactly what SCOTUS said, although it certainly is the effect. They said that states cannot make the disqualification determination; it has to be at the federal level. |

What is considered good policy, and what is considered bad policy, generally varies by time and the sensibilities of the time, but as long as a preside... |

I’ve never been able to remember years and dates; NEVER. Some people can, some can’t; it’s just the way different brains work. But, the end c... |

I assume it is their way of punishing them for leaving, force them into having no country at all. |
