BIKINI PHOTOS!? DUMP THE TRUMP!!
Just kidding, no link there. But while you’re here, if you haven’t seen it in the general Small Talk forum, @Unseen started an interesting discussion about Tulsi Gabbard running in 2020.

State of the Union and the Dem response seemed like religious Sermons at times

Canada has had limited donations laws for a decade now. A centre-left government introduced very limited donations from both businesses (a few thousand dollars at most) and invidivudals (a few hundred). In return after each election the parties were given around $1 per vote for financing. The next government (centre-right) partially repealed this…[Read more]

I read this yesterday about them saying “No” to PAC money.

Unseen replied to the topic 2020 in the forum Politics 7 years, 3 months ago

We are slowly entering an age where accepting PAC money is unacceptable for Democrat Party candidates.

Michael Bloomberg’s Secret Plans to Take Down Trump

Here’s a paragraph from the article:

Much of the thinking is informed by Bloomberg’s experience in the 2018 midterms, when he spent more than $100 million to become the single biggest Democratic donor, winning in 21 of the 24 races where his Independence USA PAC got directly involved.

PopeBeanie started the topic Shameless Political Cons vs Constitutional Remedies in the forum Politics 7 years, 5 months ago

Hoping to keep a list here of the most unethical political practices, and how some states (whether in USA or other countries) mitigate them. Potential corruption in any institution with power is a given, and well thought out state constitutions are written to head it off. Constitutional amendments are after thoughts that are difficult to…[Read more]

Men ask why women are so pissed off. Even guys with wives and daughters.
Jackson Katz, a prominent social researcher, illustrates why. He’s done it with hundreds of audiences.

“I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other.

Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take,…[Read more]

I’m always shocked when I find out what women have to go through from random men on a routine basis.

  Yes, we feel targeted from the day we’re born, pretty much.

    Hi Jade, can I quote you on my web page on Patriarchy?

      Of course! Its the truth.

        I’ve put the quote just underneath the video near the bottom of the page. What do you think of the video? Do you think it’s appropriate?
      - JadeBlackOlive replied 7 years, 7 months ago
        
        Yes, its fine, & I did not like the video at all.

  Good points, thanks for your thoughtful reply, and personal perspective.

    Yes, that was all over our news.
    
    Denial of women’s issues is still a huge problem.
- Davis replied 7 years, 7 months ago
  
  Its not just women. Men within the lgtbq+ community often face sexual harassment, assault, stalking, domestic violence and general objectification from other lgrbq+
  The worst response to this is to deny it happens. The second worst response is “you are attacking me and accusing me of being a rapist when you point out its prevalence amongst l…[Read more]

Jade.. extremely nice method for opening up the eyes of those who don’t know about fear and abuse…nor see, experience but are prone to deny, underestimate or downplay the abuse. Thanks for sharing.
PopeBeanie replied 7 years, 7 months ago

Men comprise by far the majority of the criminal population. I personally believe it’s “natural” (via evolution) for men to be more aggresive, and that’s why we see so many chauvanistic men revolt against the changing times. Even some women believe they’re put on earth to please men.

If my assessment of humanity sound insensitive, it’s because I…[Read more]

  Big changes are needed, & that includes male dominant religions, workplaces, etc.
