Of course, yes. Having the perfect spouse? That’s worth screwing a goat and then some.

Yes! I’ve been saying this for a while. They’re two sides of the same coin. Both are fantastic at pandering to the dreams of their respective parties. Both have very little chance of ever bringing their claims to fruition. I think a Bernie/Trump final two would be very bad for our country. We would have to choose…

Fair point. I think voters do get carried away, assuming that if Bernie says “College should be free” that he’s promising it. Which is probably why a lot of people became disenchanted with Obama. He stood for hope and change, and righting America’s wrongs. Ending the war, closing Guantanamo Bay, etc. To your point, I…

I’ve wondered about that, if him being white would make Republicans more likely to want to work with him. I’m inclined to think no, because he dons the “socialist” title, he stands for everything they hate, and he’s Jewish. Do Republicans dislike Jews? I have no idea, but it seems like something they’d disapprove of.

One point of contention between them (I think at the last debate) was that Bernie was talking about how disppointed people were in Obama. He promised all these wonderful things, but couldn’t deliver. And I think he’s right, that people have been disappointed...but does he really think the outcome of his presidency…

Was anyone else reminded of when Angela Merkel was speaking with the little kid (girl?) about not accepting refugees? Two women, known for their iciness, trying hard not to be robotic as they hug a kid. Clinton’s had a happier ending.

I’m in the same boat. I kind of like the layout and mix of topics in here, but both the articles and comments are kind of a drag lately. Very mean spirited, not particularly balanced. God forbid you let it be known that you’re a man, or white, or a moderate, or not flat out broke. I’ve seen people’s opinions torn to…

I was wondering that too. He looked familiar. Ryan Tedder? From One Republic?

I’ve seen pictures of these! They’re amazing. You’re right that if something like this was used, a lot of these issues would go away. For selfish reasons, I really hope this happens sooner rather than later so that it gets picked up for civilian use. I do a lot of mountaineering/climbing, and some of those peaks…

The 60lbs I threw out there was an arbitrary number. It was just to illustrate a point. If 90-100lbs is the minimum, then I think both men and women need to be able to carry 90-100lbs. Otherwise, you’re right, what gets sacrificed? It doesn’t work.

I guess we’ll agree to disagree. It was just a throwaway comment about the headline, nothing more.

Yeah, I knew that to join the standards are different. I don’t really support that if the job is physical, but it is what it is. I was thinking that they had lowered it even more to recruit more women.

Because adapting means changing to fit one’s circumstances. So if the Army’s physical test is adapting to recruit more women, it’s not a stretch to think that the standards are being lowered to let more women in.

Sort of misleading headine there. It makes it seem like the standards for women to join will be lowered.

I think I saw this, the one that had Serena this year, right? That was pretty awesome to see. I’m always way more impressed by and interested in pictures of powerful bodies. Slender, “feminine” models are lovely to look at and they have their place, but I don’t feel like it’s a sports magazine.

I guess I never realized it before now, but I always assumed the swimsuit edition featured female athletes in swimsuits. Not just models. At least then it would be celebrating the amazing bodies that kick ass in their respective sports. I guess muscle on a lady is just too much of a boner-killer.

This one always seemed weird to me. My parents are Born Again Christians, and I’ve been told many times that the Jews are all going to hell. But they will defend Israel to the death, I’m pretty sure just because Fox news told them to. I have a sneaking suspicion they don’t know it’s full of Jews.

Trump is a bit of an enigma. I was on board with the plant theory, because that at least made a little sense as to how he could become so far-right so quickly. But now that his campaign looks like it might go all the way, I have to finally accept that he’s running for real. And if it came down to him and Cruz, for…

I kind of agree and disagree with you. I agree in the sense that yeah, he’s trying to look like God’s gift to women. And he knows that people will eat it up and shower him with praise. But it’s done so humorously and so ridiculously over-the-top that it feels like he’s doing it with a wink. Matt McGorry reminds me of…

I love his hastags, maybe because they’re so excited about going down on a woman. I kind of want to show them to my lazy husband and say “see? This guys right here gets it. Be like him.”
