The comment "Willing to die for their convictions" was not supposed to be satirical. I take them to be sincere. They say they are on a hunger strike until their demands are met. If the demands are not met and they stay the course, they'll starve to death. Will take a lot of gumption to see it through either way it works out.

This puzzles me about President Biden. He rarely mentions these hostages. It seems like it should be his #'1 priority in regards to the conflict.

I actually give these people a lot more credit than 99% of the other protesters. They are actually putting some skin in the game. Willing to die for their convictions. I read a Nicholas Kristof editorial in the newspaper Sunday (yes I take the old school printed newspaper). He made some good points about the college demonstrations. I could not find a link for the whole article. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016376949 He wraps up the article saying if college students really wanted to help Gazans they could do 2 things: Instead of demonstrating, use the time and energy instead to raise money to send to Gaza for relief. Give it to WCK or the Red Cross or start their own. Raise some money and send over a few student observers to go over and see what's happening on the ground. Then come back and report what they saw and what could help At this point, the protesters are taking attention away from Gaza and putting it on themselves.

Polls Are Basically Useless
reddogblitz replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Who can forget Hillary being the presumptive favorite the day before the election 2016? Or Steve Kornacki standing in front of his board a week before the election saying Trump has no path to victory. And the 2022 mid terms. All based on polling. I think in the current political world some people don't like to tell pollsters they are voting for Trump. The election is 6 months away. Lot of crazy stuff gonna happen before then. I'm with @Tiberiuson this one Looking at polls now is useless. But what are polling companies gonna do? Poll. -
Who Will Be President Trump's Vice Presidential Pick ??

Why not? Then Senator Harris called Joe Biden a racist on national TV and he still picked her for Veep. These people (politicians) will do anything for more power and money no matter what. -

Who Will Be President Trump's Vice Presidential Pick ??

It's going to end up being someone like Pence. The only one who would take the job. I have no idea why some young Republican would hitch his/her wagon to a one term very unpopular (even if he wins) President. I can't see someone like Rubio or Cruz or Johnson or DeSantis take the job if offered. -

Yes. -
I don't understand it either. Maybe we could ask FDR? https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2017/09/06/flashback-fdr-unveiled-robert-e-lee-statue-without-controversy-in-1936/ Dallas took down the statue and renamed the park to Turtle Creek Park in 2017. 1936 was pre or post the big switch?

What problems do they have the media really doesn't cover?

Oh, I'm sure you will.

Like Barack Obama, Colin Kaepernick and Keon Coleman you mean? All had absent fathers and are successful. While having a kid with a loser that doesn't want to support him/her is not a good idea I agree. Something maybe women should think about? It takes 2 to make a baby Ludwig Van Beethoven's parents were a mess too. Look it up. Do you ever consider that maybe we're throwing away some fine people? Of the 350,000 aborted each year one would think that some of them could have really made a difference in the world

Global warming err Climate change HOAX
reddogblitz replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
IMHO we should be putting a lot of research and funding for removing the carbon from the air. Trees do it, why not us? If a lot of what I read is true about rising temperatures, rising seas, inproportionate deaths of poor people etc, seems it may be too late for conservation. Look at all the cars, truck, airplanes, manufacturing, container ships, etc still polluting it up and will for many years. And electric cars although better still are responsible for pollution. I have seen estimates of between 30,000 and 80,000 miles before they produce less over their lifetime based on all the mining and shipping of lithium. So if you drive an electric car and don't keep it and drive it for 50,000 (taking the mid) you are actually doing a net increase in carbon emissions. The way they're building and marketing these things as expensive high tech gadgets I would suspected a lot of the people buying them will upgrade to the newest hottest tech in a couple years like we do everything else high tech. Hopefully there will be a robust used market for these things and people buy and drive them long enough to actually help anything. I would also say building nuclear power plants that could give us all the electricity we'll need as more and more things go electric is important and is way more efficient than solar panels or windmills. California has 1 remaining that supplies 11% of the state's electricity but they keep saying they're gonna shut it down for some reason. Not denying anything but just thinking there may be better ways .. -
Glad to hear it. Then DON'T GET A JOB LOL. I was responding to this comment below. Are the dude's legs broken too? This is the whinniest wimpy excuse for abortion there is. It's not a good time. It rarely is and wasn't when most of us were born. I don't know about you but my parents weren't sitting on a big bag of ca$h when I was born. Quite the opposite in fact. My Dad had to get off his duff and get a real job and was able to fund 5 sons. A long time ago I married a woman with a young child. We planned and had a 2nd. Then on that baby's 1st birthday we found out she was pregnant with the 3rd. Neither one of us made much money and weren't sure how but we made it happen. I used to read computer books at night to increase my skills and earning potential and it worked. My daughter (3rd child) has a college degree, is married, and owns her own house. If you get a woman pregnant, be a man and take care of your off spring.
