I see what you did there ?

First....can't spell

IMO it is sad that American policy the last 100 years has been to steal the best brains from other countries in order to advance it's technology.

@FrayedBear It's sad, this President Trump is destroying our country. He doesnt even beluwve in science.

@vnufall My understanding which is very uneducated, is that he only believes in "money talks, bullshit walks." And that if anything is "not guaranteed by the Federal Reserve it is bullshit"

Perhaps lessons in humility will improve?

That's why we need regulation.

Agreed, with a tear escaping my eyes .. I was a child in WWII and have still a small bomb fragment in my foot ..but the one in my heart, metaphorically, is still bothering me the most.
God was never around in these days and has totally vanished for me ..I love animals and the human, hypocrites, for the most part destroying our beautiful earth. Does it really matter who is #1 in anything ? .. .

no, but it would be good if humans could dump all the crap and come together as one @gemini31. we are on the cusp of greatness yet we are going to flush it down the toilet with ourselves and much of life on earth. even ants do a better job than humans.

1,000,000 African American men in jail. So much for the 13th ammendment.

How much of China's CO2 emissions are to benefit American consumption? Is America compensating China properly for it or as usual failing to reasonably make retribution as occurred post Vietnam and Cambodia?

@FrayedBear I'm sure there is a level of American consumption, but it could also be a result of 1.3 billion people. Why should we be compensate them? I'm not sure where your going.

it's not a race but it is because of a race.

I presume @Alynscott that is a typo for London? Of course government will deny need when they know full well that societal breakdown is due to government previous failures to implement societal homogeneity, equitability, progression and health.

you mean...gasp....that memes AREN'T TRUE??!!! Say it isn't so, joe...haha...it's this type of underachieving that is gonna keep us from achieving...(I can hear the 'Eye Of The Tiger' music now...)

Or does Israel hold that title.

@FrayedBear grow up. are you at all concerned about what's happening in Syria at the moment?

@crazycurlz You are taking this very personally and becoming irrationally aggressive. Am I getting through your cognitive barriers? What has and continues to happen in Syria is a disgrace. Much of this has been due to American interference. As always looking to steal the oil to help support your lifestyle. But question the continuation of lifestyle given the rate of homelessness. Many countries consider not having homeless is a number one priority to enable a strong nation.

@FrayedBear YOU bring up Israel in unrelated posts but I'm the one who's irrational? I'M aggressive? Well, on that, we agree. My great grandparents were killed in the shoah. I have Jewish family living now and my plan is to speak out against statements like yours whenever and wherever. When I see one-sided statements like yours, that means only one thing: ignorance and hatred which turns into abuse and violence against the Jews who make up only 1-2% of the world population. Focus on Israel is so disproportionate when assad is killing his own people. I know the arguments on both sides of this conflict. Israelis were given the land. The Palestinians chose to go to war instead of working out a two state solution at that time. And they lost. There were missed opportunities on both sides then and to this day BUT on both sides there are serious, dedicated Palestinians and Israelis trying to work this out peaceably and on both sides there are extremists. Arab countries, often in conflict against one another, have used the Palestinian crisis to unify themselves...has it helped the Palestinians? No and the Arabs don't care. As long as the Palestinians are kept down, they are a pawn for the Arabs to use to gain world sympathy. Israel, as the only democracy in the Middle East is used by the Europeans and the US.
Then there are ignorant people like you who pick sides, add to the mess. You don't help the Palestinians with your ignorance of the issues, and you hurt the Israelis.
Also, don't even try to put the world's problems on MY shoulders. They don't support MY lifestyle. I live modestly. Without air conditioning, without extras. I stay educated on issues, engage with other Americans. I'm not part of the problem in this world. I'm what's RIGHT with this world. If you care to keep arguing this out, I will, too and in the end, we may come to common ground. All I know is that I do like to go toe to toe.

This is one of my favorite clips online. It really highlights so many problems with America, and the abounding ignorance.

In BS, yes!

@gemini31 where we strive to over achieve, me thinks...haha

@JohnnyThorazine ah ha in the face of 2:1 opposition methinks you bluster if not even project.

@FrayedBear the irony of majority oppositional correctness on a website called agnostic.com is truly tasty. And don't tell me we're not number 1! I saw that we are making america great again on these red baseball caps. Must be true.

@JohnnyThorazine I thought that I saw it stenciled on your president's forehead and are you sure about your sight / memory that the red baseball hat was worn by the aforementioned yellow hair dyed man? ?

@FrayedBear I'm sure we can all remember when he covers up that hair-ish enigma that perches on his over ripe, yet underdeveloped melon...so yep.

@JohnnyThorazine Enigma? I name it the physical representation of the miasma known as a diarrhoetic fart that is masquerading as his hair.

A story teller of the worst kind .. #1

What is actually required to break through your disbelief? Animal Farm? Lord of the Flies? Chinese invasion? I can agree that the above representation is deliberately provocative however isn't it interesting that money is spent in researching the average time that it takes mammals to defecate but not to interview people from around the world to ask them what they think of American foreign policies, greed, and disregard for individual country and people's sovereignty? I suspect that even a poll of Americans will identify that many disagree with American policy over the last 200 years.

And the relationship between the number of McDonald's and heart attacks is because....?
