    This took an interesting and predictably divided turn - eliciting hate, division and anger as quickly as the rest of the country.

    So if we are to judge a man by the content of his character - which is a very good idea - please remember that in early November.

    I think one of us telling another to f*** off is pretty close to hate. Maybe not. Definitely reflective of the current level of "discourse" and mood of this extremely divided nation.

    Yes they would [and so would their neighbors] and yes I do. You ever walk down the street in Copenhagen with a bottle of Cholula? You’re everyone’s best friend. La Victoria (particularly the green one) in Athens? No thanks, I’m already married. A half-descent street taco in most of Europe would welcome me to several neighborhoods. And I ride my bike in the street. I would fit right in.

    Funny thing is some of my cousins ask, “do all Americans act like you?” Ha! I get the same question here about Euros. Some folks shouldn’t travel abroad and reinforce the negative stereotypes people who can tell you to suck it in 4 languages already have about us.

    Fair enough. How about this:

    Get out of here with that conspiracy theory bullshit.

    The main problem with conspiracy theories is that conspiracies require large numbers of people to keep secrets.

    Hint: they can’t.

    I would rather see election day as a national holiday.

    Veterans don't need a holiday. The dead veterans have one.

    ^^^^ THIS!!! please vote, and pay attention to the Content of the man's Character. We need more peace and unity, not hate and division.

    Of course I'm sure there are many that prefer hate, anger and violence in our country. They have as much right to vote as I.

    Hey! Yeah, you! And you, too! Yeah, you over there, arguing about something on the internet. That never works out. Please stop.

    Here, watch something that might make you better by the end of it. Or maybe it won't.

    I would extend this and say to pay attention to the agenda and real actions. Past , future and present. Where are the hotspots for failures and who has been in charge for decades?

    Pedophiles & human trafficking is getting hit big time right now. Why just now?

    The inside jobs and kickbacks have been exposed with irrefutable evidence that corrupt court systems fail to prosecute. Unless this stuff is made up...but when they are caught red handed, no one is denying it . They actually back peddle and justify it.

    The media has manipulated so many young and gullible minds. Divide and conquer is key to them.

    Cities like manhattan beach have mask Nazi’s walking around town enforcing and citing $350 for non-compliance. What the hell kind of nation have we let this become when the truth pisses people off to the point where they burn a city down and harass innocent people.

    participation trophies where the biggest mistake. Ass whopping is a thing of the past and led to unaccountable adults.

    Now they are moving into the forest and torching those and blaming “climate change-globalwarming-Y2K-el niño-acid rain” or what ever the hell is on the agenda this decade. We live in an irrigated desert. What do we expect when our state government doesn’t clear and maintain the fuel and you have people being arrested throwing Molotov cocktails and lighting fireworks near all the brush? I’m old enough to remember when cars were getting stuck at the corner of Main Street in waist deep water and when car manufactures we’re blaming acid rain for shitty paint jobs.

    politicians have failed us and gotten richer in the process. Both sides are guilty.

    I don’t hate anyone. I have people in my family of all colors and ethnic backgrounds. For the most part, we all earn our keep. The black sheeps of the family put themselves there. They were spoiled growing up and have their hands out for everything now.

    America is the greatest country in the world. No one is jumping fences to get into any other country. The opportunities are here if you take them.

    Yes, there has been a lot of injustice in the past. Heck, I felt some of it growing up. The stereotypes only changed when I changed. I had a chip on my shoulder because I grew up conditioned to think a certain way.

    our flag is beautiful. People died for these colors. Stand for it and it will stand for you. Pray hard people. These are ugly times.

    Bravo! I agree, I’m more about the politicians agenda. God uses the foolish things to confound the wise

    Well, on the fires, fire season is lasting now 3 months longer than in 70s plus a lot of houses have been built in places where we probably should not build houses in the first place, and if so with better building codes. It is part climate change and part human factors (yes indeed maintaining forests, or rather the lack of it, is also one more reason).

    I find it ironic that the guy closest to a fire wants us to get back on topic with bikes. o_O

    Let’s heed his advice.

    I tried my best to not personally offend anyone. Sorry, I’m just really disenchanted. Had to blow some steam off with a group I thought would understand. Over the last few months, I’ve watched how different people interact here versus the STR days. Most of the mature people moved over to this site.

    I’m done. I’m happy now.

    Conspiracy theory or not, I do know one thing and those buildings didn’t perfectly collapse without someone pressing detonation systems button, not once, but twice. No different than that building across the street that collapsed with no damage.

    Solislbc- What you said was right on cue with reality and what’s really going on. PC is now being put ahead of law abiding citizens and it’s straight out dangerous to all the honest hard working citizens who’ve never broken the law.

    On 9-11, I personally believe that people can’t be this evil to coordinate this against their own people in such a massive way. Power hungry, Misguided, misinformed and bitter is still way different than evil. Call me naive but thats just me.

    Aren't you a veteran?
    Veteran's Day is a holiday for many (not me).
    I have the utmost respect for all who have volunteered to serve. And for those who paid the ultimate price.
