Pesky problem, civil liberties that apply to all people regardless of the whims of the government or the majority of its citizens. Free speech is guaranteed by the Universal Declar…

Turn on any American news outlet, check the front page of any American newspaper, and you'll see tons of coverage of Gaza. It's all over the place. Wall to wall. If you aren't seei…

The TWA 800 plane crash referred to by the OC happened in 1996 (not in the 1960s). So a lot of Americans have memories of that event as well as the aftermath (which dragged on for …

You're an ass. Nobody is trying to "Americanify" the event. They are simply remembering another event that is linked to the current one by coincidence. The anti-American knee-jerk …

That's like comparing an aircraft carrier to a rubber ducky. Budgeting for a country of 300 million bears no resemblance to household budgeting. The priorities and general principl…

Is that article actually in English? I couldn't understand a damn thing the author was trying to say. "...like a black pearl from an oyster unfathomable by any other diver into our…

The comparison doesn't seem applicable here. Women's suffrage was about gaining a right that was, at that time, forbidden. Preference shouldn't play a role in basic rights, but it …
