Exactly this! I feel like the Americans are caught in this debate of would Pence be better or worse, and, as a (non)representative from the rest of the world I am always tempted to butt in and say, yes, for gods sake yes! He’s WAY less likely to get the rest of us blown to smithereens.

I feel like I don’t have an online home with it gone. It was the best!

I think that these are all really good questions to ask in the aftermath of Saturday’s marches.

Eh, maybe. Do you also expect American celebrities to have a public opinion on the French Elections, Brexit, the Indian banknote demonetisation, and the presidential crisis in Gambia?

I don’t know. I interpreted it differently. The article said that they were specifically discussing his coworkers’ plans for inauguration weekend, not whether or not he thought Trump would cause worldwide problems.

But there’s not a hell of a lot the rest of us can DO about it at this point. It is, functionally, your fucking problem to deal with... because the rest of us can’t do anything about it. We’re just forced along for the ride. Makes more sense for us to focus on keeping our own governments in line, and making sure they r

Well, no, it won’t be - but the rest of us don’t really have any power to control that. It’s not like your representatives care about what people in Scotland or South America or Polynesia think.

If you are Canadian it’s been dropped out of the promise. It used to be God and the Queen, but now it’s “my beliefs and Canada”.

The Canadian org did the same (at least on the Girl guides end). It’s now just a general “my beliefs”.

Are you Canadian by any chance? I know that Girl Guides of Canada has dropped the God part of their promise - it now says that “I promise to do my best, to be true to myself, my beliefs and Canada”

I ripped one once, right at a meet. Admittedly, I had been trying to stretch a bit more life out of it that just wasn’t there and it got caught on a locker, but still!

Oh, those suits. So expensive, so easy to rip. (So surprisingly unflattering on some very fit people.)

I mean, as far as salacious, unsubstantiated and slightly nutty rumours about heads of state go, golden showers is not nearly as good as #piggate.

I mean, people keep saying that he’s bad for the Republican party... but pretty much none of those predictions have come true, so... *shrugs*

I wish I could give you 100 stars!

Exactly this. People get so emotionally caught up in the sensational cases like this that they are willing to let the whole rotten system stand.

You are 100% right. This is exactly the reason that there is the need to legally outlaw the death penalty. It takes away the need for people to think rationally instead of emotionally in the heat of the moment.

Oh my god... exactly this! What a horrible suggestion that was. We have done it. It was called eugenics and resulted in the forced sterilisation of thousands of women of colour, poor women, and mentally ill women.

Me and my bf are currently doing that now (serious, committed relationship in two households and not looking to change that for at least the next year - so for about 2 years of our relationship) and it is great! A+ would recommend.

This is exactly how I feel about it. Just adding one more person to my already rich life.
