War with Iran, okay, sure. There's not much else on tv worth watching now except for maybe the ladies' FIFA World Cup which has had a few exciting moments, like the O.T. Penalty Kick win for Norway over Australia yesterday.

Putin had it right when he characterized Trump years ago as "not-agreement-capable".

I can't believe how much time you wasted on that. WOW, you have NO LIFE beyond your marching orders, huh?

I must have touched a nerve with the "You can't do a damn thing about war and you know it." Really undermines your agenda as fear-mongers, doesn't it??



Take your war crap 'n shove it, it ain't working here no more.

There's also that portrayal of starving students eating Raman endlessly. In my day, a crap ton of powdered milk with a little bit of sugar mixed into whole milk was a (fairly) nutritious cheap meal for the whole day. Do students not know how to feed themselves for cheap anymore?





No wonder you're brain damaged, there's more chemicals in those two things than anything else you can eat...

You are actually advocating that teens eat complete crap and couch surf to afford college. There is something wrong with your whole generation that you think your teens and 20's has to be about deprivation at a time when your body is building the cellular functions and reserves for the rest of your adulthood.

Imma LAUGH when you get cancer.

Trump says he’s open to Iran talks without preconditions.

What happened?

Two things. First, Iran attacked two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Second, they shot down an American drone. I guess now we know what it takes to get Trump to talk.

-speak-to-iran-with-no-preconditions


Iranian leaders earlier this month rebuffed a similar offer by Pompeo, saying the suggestion amounted to “word play” given the Trump administration’s other actions toward the Islamic Republic, including pulling out of a multilateral nuclear deal.

That was awesome. People who say penalty shootouts are boring or just luck, have no idea what it would be like to have to take that walk from the midfield to the penalty spot with 750 million plus people watching around the world - not to mention your teammates 50 feet away. You only have to see how Aussie's star player totally choked on her penalty kick attempt to know it's more than luck.

I notice you got all kinds of opinions on OTHER things - which (you say) wouldn't make a a difference, but that doesn't keep you from spouting off anyway ... but somehow coming out and being antiwar kinda sticks in your craw? You must be allergic to antiwar statements or something. Yanno, secretly prowar but too much of a coward to take a position.
