Absolutely on the nose. I'd go a step further - if he had said "If I were Isreael", then he's imagining being policy maker directly responsible, instead of merely being a citizen. …

This is absolutely political, in that any conversation about Israel's foreign or domestic policy ends up an argument falling along political lines. There's several posts already ex…

On remark 2 - I think these feelings of unfulfillment are very common among young men (and women I imagine), but at that age, it's hard to find an audience of peers mature enough t…

This is an excellent point. I always assumed the emotional aspect of sex was part of the reason the verb "withholding" was used, much in the same way it's used to describe a more g…

I'm dying. Thank you for the laugh.

Don't apologize for being optimistic. I wouldn't have gotten where I have without someone telling me to take my shot and apply to a good college I dreamed about applying to when I …

Do you watch Tasty videos on Facebook with their two hands and three ingredients and four steps and think "What useless advice - what about people with no hands! How dare suggest t…

Re-read the objected to line: "I made it and you can too." Note that I emphasized "can" in that quote. "Can", not "will". This isn't a guarantee by throwaway-0987, it's words of en…
