No, most of them are either fat or old hags.

After you chase the fat ones they will start to slim down.As for the old hags,do you live near a witch retirement home?

Now all you anti abortion folks are going to have to step up to the plate and become foster parents.We have a surplus of children either abandoned or removed from drug addicted parents.If you value life so much,then do something instead of preach about how it's murder to abort an unwanted child.

I at least am planning on becoming a foster parent as soon as I graduate and get a decent job. Most pro-life people support pregnancy resource centers and other programs that help mothers and children. People can support more than one cause at the same time.

That is awesome.I do have issues with people that are anti choice and then don't do anything to help the unwanted kids that are allready here.Even if they do not want to be a foster parent they can join the Big Brothers or Sisters program and at least take a kid swimming or to a museum.

Trump seems incapable of coming in second best, even after he's won! Now, not only is he saying he really won the popular vote, but is insisting that illegals had voted by the millions, despite the fact that there is zero proof of this. Even leading Republicans are denouncing this idiocy.
Remember when Republicans would accuse Obama of being a narcissist? Well, they take orders from a real one now! :evil:

Why do you keep doing this? There's absolutely NOTHING in the rules that says the way she wanted to word her title "Our New President - PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP", is not allowed. I understand the bit about the caps, cuz she's been told about that, before (so, then, just put those words in lowercase)----but you, PERSONALLY, don't like the use of the word "our", when you use it (or, "we" or "us"), almost DAILY when you, a NON-American, are talking about AMERICAN politics; are you friggin' kidding me (I even made an entire thread, about it).

This is NOT right / fair, for you to be changing people's wording, because you, PERSONALLY, don't like the way something's worded!! I gave you the original wording of the title of this thread, please change it back.

Alex has already said, one of the other times you did this, that he doesn't agree with changing titles, for your reasoning:

This is very interesting - Thanks for posting it Miss Camp.

I would have no problem changing the capital letters or even discussion of what was wrong with the title - it was just that he corrected me without even telling me in a PM. He posted why, but it was already done and I had no say. I am glad that Alex did say something about that because I believe it is overstepping one's bounds as a moderator.

Obama was/and is a narcissist.

Now, do you have anything positive to say about your new President on this fine day? (Hey! That rhymed!) :mrgreen:

No, the fictional character Republicans had created with the name Obama was, in order to tear down the real man.
Trump is the living embodiment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Sure, I can say something positive about him: I sincerely hope he can deliver on his promises on health care and jobs.

I wouldn't call Obama a narcissist, but he did have a tendency to see himself in messianic terms from time to time; it was more his supporters in the beginning who went crazy over him, the 2008 nominating convention looked like a cult gathering at times.

And Trump's rallies didn't look like something straight out of totalitarian political rallies?
And no, I'm not calling his a Nazi or fascist, just that having a leader shrieking nationalistic slogans, and be be answered by his adoring followers with cheers and applause, is quite discerning.

What does that have to do with Obama's messiah complex and rapturous supporters? Do you think that one cancels out the other?

I think that messiah complex thing is again an invention of the right, with little basis in reality. But believe as you like.
And in bringing up Trump, I'm only pointing out that the current President has whipped his supporters into a froth as well. But unlike Obama, who had stressed hope, it can be argued Trump had brought out something ugly in his followers based on fear and anger.

I actually got it from reading his books, so unless you think he used a right wing ghostwriter or editor... You did actually read Obama's books, right?

Which is relevant to what I said how?

I've never read any of his books, so I'll just have to take your word for it. Just the same, I've heard such bullsh*t about Obama, that he's an African born, Muslim, radical black Christian, atheist, communist, fascist, Antichrist, all without a shred of supporting proof, I'm suspicious of any claims made against him.
Just pointing out that much of the adoration for Trump, especially as it comes across as divisive and even bigoted, sounds a whole lot scarier than Obama's call for hope and change.
And no, Obama was hardly perfect. Things didn't work out nearly as well under him as I would have liked. But I'd take him any day or this truly narcissistic paranoiac.

I don't see people calling smart, well-prepared disagreeable white dudes narcissists. Take David Brooks. He has angered people on the right and left, but I think comes across as a thorough analyst whatever you think of his conclusions.

I think that Brooks and Obama have a similar personal style, as well, which I'd describe as avuncular. Friendly, but with a hint of "I'll explain it to you slowly." People take it differently coming from a black man. There's all kinds of research on how perceptions correlate with skin color, attractiveness, height, facial symmetry, smell..., but you could look around social media or wherever and find examples or counterexamples from sources you will believe.

If you didn't read Obama's book then you must really barely know who he is since he wasn't known before that either, I read it back when he was a candidate. A lot of people probably don't really even know that Obama grew up outside the country in Indonesia.

Was that meant as an example of condescension? People take that differently depending on the speaker's physical features, as well.

Trump is pursuing his claim of voter fraud. He makes such a fool of himself. He must think the illegals are to blame for him losing the popular vote. He's such an idiot.
