    Is this the ghost of a samurai soldier standing behind a little girl?

    IF, as the photographer indicated that this photo is NOT retouched in any way, it would seem that whatever has appeared in the developed photo was NOT evident when the photo was taken, which would explain why there's no photo of the same spot before or after, showing what's behind the little...

    How important is your written Language?

    I'm not sure why the fact that "(I) keep bringing up the example of the duck" is throwing you off-course. It's a standard axiom: "If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck...chances are, it's a duck!" When I encounter something that waddles and quacks, it takes me but a nanosecond to...

    Will The Clinton Foundation Be HRC's Downfall?

    Perhaps. The Clinton Foundation which, according to their Mission Statement, "...convene businesses, governments, NGOs, and individuals to improve global health and wellness, increase opportunity for women and girls, reduce childhood obesity, create economic opportunity and growth, and help...

    Debate: Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

    Guaranteed 100% of the people in America who would stone-to-death (or use some other method to kill) a gay person also believe gays should not marry. Guaranteed 0% of the people in America who believe that gays should have the right to marry would kill someone just for being gay. I find it...

    When Government Takes The Grapevine

    I stopped reading here: "...But as with all socialist programs...", which was the ending sentence of the second paragraph of the 13-paragraph essay. Utilizing hyperbole to *prove* a point is typically indicative of the fact that one doesn't have a leg to stand on and/or has no idea WTF they're...

    How important is your written Language?

    @ rooster: Well, since the question was directed at each of us as to how important WE find (our) written word, I'll continue to believe that I do not need to reinvent language nor the definition of "a duck", whether online OR in real life. Kudos to those of you who DO find it refreshing to...

    Jimmy Fallon Reviews Some Music You Should Avoid

    I'm glad that Mr. Fallon *had* to listen to those to decide that they're not worth listening to, so I don't have to. Thanks for the heads-up, Jazzy...and Jimmy. :tup:

    Pedophile gang guilty of raping babies and streaming it live online

    From the article: "...They all face significant prison sentences and some could be jailed for life when they return to court on a date to be fixed..." Wait. What? "SOME could be jailed for life?!?" By this, they mean those who aren't jailed for life are going to be executed on the spot, in...

    Debate: Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

    ?!? The uber-conservatives have been fighting for women's equality and for gays since this nation was created, and it's us rat-commie bastards of libtards that have been preventing it from happening? Oh, stop. Now, you're just making shit up hoping it'll stick. By the way, those who...

    Debate: Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

    Strange bedfellows being made and interesting fallout from the War on Terrorism: suddenly, ultra-conservatives are screaming from the rooftops in defense of women's rights and for the preservation of gays. *Odd*.

    Hillary's War On Women...

    According to the meme, which you quoted but didn't read all the way through, "Hillary eventually secured a lenient plea deal for Taylor." That's her job as his Defense Attorney: to secure the most favorable outcome for the client. Ergo, according to the meme which you quoted but didn't read...

    Rubio: People Are "Born With" Sexual Preference

    Most of the actual research on the matter would support your belief; that would make yours an "educated opinion". I, too, prefer my opinions to be "educated" ones; online, we appear to be rare birds. http://www.livescience.com/50058-being-gay-not-a-choice.html

    Rubio: People Are "Born With" Sexual Preference

    Oh. Good thing you clarified that. When I'd read it, I took it to mean that up until the age of 10, he'd been "choosing" to be gay, but then he snapped out of it. :blush:

    Hillary's War On Women...

    Someone who actually does a job [well] that she gets paid to do, is a bad choice for the position? *Interesting* spin. In 1975, it was not uncommon for rape victims to be blamed; in 1976 (at 16) I was the victim in an attempted rape case. The guilty party's defense attorney made a big deal...

    How important is your written Language?

    Obviously, I disagree. I especially disagree with this part: "Language is incredibly important when sharing ideas on the internet. But it's not the only thing that's important..." ?!? What other things might someone use, "while on the internet"? Inflections of vocal tone? Hand-gestures...

    How important is your written Language?

    I am A-OK with having a "preconceived notion" and [properly] labeling something that waddles in my front door, quacks twice, and drops little avian feces on my newly-laid carpeting and saying, "Oh, look! It's a duck!!!" While it may be true that doing the same thing over and over and...

    Rubio: People Are "Born With" Sexual Preference

    Rubio can't win, after his 'I don't care if 99% of the people disagree with me...I KNOW I'm *right*' speech. Any conservative that votes for him has proven they're a hypocrite - a hypocrite who doesn't mind king- and God-like behavior after all, as long as the King/God is wearing a red tie.

    Personally, I'm A-OK with NOT being made of the stuff necessary TO be a "conservative"...

    Debate: Are we winning "The War On Terror"?

    Yes...depending on what one means when they say "we". "We" has in the U.S. declared War on Terrorism? No. The United Nations' War Against Terrorism? No. But, "we" as in the world? Yes. Just Friday, the Taliban itself denounced the latest ISIS move...

    That was so cool... ...and so sad, at the same time. Thanks for finding it and sharing it, Jazzy!!! :tup:
