Gromnir

I don't know much about NA's and what I do know I generally learned from you so please indulge me in a couple more questions: Reservations are made up from the same tribes or tribes are mixed? Assuming the former, I would have expected a closer sense of unity amongst tribesmen, at least while on the reservation. Kinda "us-against-them" but that's not necessarily the case if there is such an antagonistic relationship between the citizens and the authorities? Is there a such thing as discrimination between different tribes? there is considerable bigotry that endures 'tween tribes. our grandfather, a relative educated man, hated crow more than the BIA. crow and lakota animosity went back before the US ever existed, so simple being placed on reservations did not end for him and for many others. continues to this day for many. there is a few tribes that share reservations. northern cheyenne at one point shared with the lakota. am recolecting that the arapaho and shoshone current share a rez. usually those tribes that share a rez have long and amicable relations. there is a great deal of anger on the rez. there is anger at the BIA and USA and white folks in general or specific. there is anger at parents, as all young people express from time to time. there is anger at tribal authority and rez police. there is anger at the feds when they show up to deal with "real crimes." when there is so much anger, it is hard to turn off that anger just 'cause the cop has red skin. there is also a growing number o' gangs and drug use is always a problem. rez cops understandably is conflicted 'bout the gangs, but the violence the gangs is responsible can't be overlooked complete, which puts young gang members in conflict with rez police with increasing frequency. those confrontations 'tween rez police and gangs is becoming increasingly toxic and is one o' the more serious concerns we hear 'bout when we return to pine ridge. *shrug* btw, please keep in mind that the vast number o' indian tribes in the US never got reservation lands. heck, most never even managed to get any kinda formalized treaty relationship with the US. many tribes were wiped out or simply ignored. for a considerable number o' indigenous peoples, the biggest obstacle they face today is simple recognition. you can be indian. you can have harvard and yale historians and anthropologists agree that you and your tribe has lived in the foothills o' ca or swamps in mississippi since times before first settlers arrived. you can provide dna studies and records from pre-revolutionary war spanish missionaries and... if you ain't a recognized tribe by the BIA, then you ain't really indian for purposes o' federal or State recognition. process to get recognized can take decades, and is often far too costly for many.

trump net worth today is an estimate 'cause he won't release taxes as has every other candidate going back a long time. bloomberg estimates $2.9 billion. Forbes say $4.1 billion. with the money trump had in 1978, which woulda' largely been the result of inheritance, and he had put that money into a retirement fund, he would be worth $6 billion today. failed airline. failed football. failed casinos. too many fails. even his biographer noted that trump's business acumen were limited to real estate investment. and as shady as is clinton, trump gots more than a few skeletons in his closet. no presidential candidate has ever had the kinda documented mob ties as does trump. the claim that trump had no idea that the construction companies he were routinely dealing with in the 70s and early 80s were mob controlled is too ridiculous to believe, but given how pervasive mob involvement were in ny construction at that time, perhaps folks is willing to look the other way... as trump clear did. and given his checkered past regarding the hiring o' undocumented workers, we have a hard time taking his immigration comments serious. the Polish workers involved in trump tower alone should give folks pause as the judge in that case had already determined that trump were aware o' the presence o' illegals before a settlement were reached. wall street avoids him 'cause o' the numerous bankruptcies and he ain't even as big a real estate mogul as he pretends to be. compare to bloomberg if you wanna see american success story http://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-bloomberg/ http://www.forbes.com/profile/donald-trump/?list=billionaires heck, compare to oprah who gots a self-made score o' 10. she didn't have no multi-million dollar inheritance or her father's credit to draw 'pon. http://www.forbes.com/profile/oprah-winfrey/ the only thing trump can genuine sell is his business success as he has no experience in politics. the thing is, his overall business success is less than impressive. shoulda' stuck with his daddy's real estate. HA! Good Fun!

Are reservation police composed of Native Americans? yes and we do understand just how much outrage ms. macdonald's articles has caused in blm circles. some o' her numbers do need to be considered in context. nevertheless, we has similar seen articles at very reputable sites that is being utter dismissive of macdonald... or using chicanery o' their own in an attempt to disprove. cops is more afraid and is facing increasingly more hostile citizenry. the citizenry is likewise more afraid. both sides believe, for often very good reasons, that they is facing more danger now than ever before. is not a good situation. we do need dialogue, but typical what we see is attempts to refute non-supportive points o' view rather than actual discussion. HA! Good Fun!

The Torrey Pine is a local icon, thought by most to be unique. I never knew Santa Rosa is the only other place in the world where it grows. I must visit. Also, this is awesome: as a younger man we went to the channel islands mainly for the surfing. am older now and we find that we can carry more necessary camping supplies when not hauling 'round a short board. even so, is no question that a trip to the channel islands requires a willingness to rough it a bit. HA! Good Fun! ps while surfing the islands, we once saw an orca explode from the water onto shore where sea lions were congregating. the killer whale snatched a meal and then lurched back into the water. left us utter dumbfounded.

am actual in favor o' blm as a vehicle for positive change, but am concerned 'bout obfuscation of facts and am also worried that blm has resulted in more o' the escalation we referenced earlier in this thread. http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-chicagos-streets-became-the-wild-west-1466029701 "Police officers who try to intervene in this disorder often face virulent pushback. “People are a hundred times more likely to resist arrest,” a police officer who has worked a decade and a half on the South Side told me. “People want to fight you; they swear at you. ‘F--- the police, we don’t have to listen,’ they say. I haven’t seen this kind of hatred towards the police in my career.” "Antipolice animus is nothing new in Chicago. But the post-Ferguson Black Lives Matter narrative about endemically racist cops has made the street dynamic much worse. A detective told me: “From patrol to investigation, it’s almost an undoable job now. If I get out of my car, the guys get hostile right away.” Bystanders sometimes aggressively interfere, requiring more officers to control the scene." increased rates o' use o' force is hardly surprising given such conditions, yes? from the same author is an article that questions the factual basis of blm http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myths-of-black-lives-matter-1468087453 "Police officers—of all races—are also disproportionately endangered by black assailants. Over the past decade, according to FBI data, 40% of cop killers have been black. Officers are killed by blacks at a rate 2.5 times higher than the rate at which blacks are killed by police." "The Black Lives Matter movement claims that white officers are especially prone to shooting innocent blacks due to racial bias, but this too is a myth. A March 2015 Justice Department report on the Philadelphia Police Department found that black and Hispanic officers were much more likely than white officers to shoot blacks based on “threat misperception”—that is, the mistaken belief that a civilian is armed. "A 2015 study by University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway, formerly acting director of the National Institute of Justice, found that, at a crime scene where gunfire is involved, black officers in the New York City Police Department were 3.3 times more likely to discharge their weapons than other officers at the scene." etc. however, while ms. mac donald is a bright and articulate woman with degrees from yale and stanford law, she is decided right o' center on many issues. our recollection is that she defended the practices at abu ghraib, and is highly critical o' welfare programs that allow single mothers to create a generation o' fatherless and dependent children. her bun may be wound a bit too tight. HA! Good Fun!

one wonders if there is reputable study o' escalation in police encounters. is not simple a matter o' how cops interact with different racial groups but also how different racial groups interact with police. as one might expect o' the oglala, most o' Gromnir's relatives, particular male relatives, have serious authority issues. when encountering cops on the rez or off, our cousins will inevitable fail the "attitude test." worse, especially if a young lakota man's friends is present, there is a perceived duty to resist searches and arrests. to accede to cop authority and instructions is the worst kinda cowardice. escalation is predictable. shocking numbers showing a high incidence o' police use o' force during encounters with young, lakota, males is hardly surprising and cannot be attributed solely to police bias. am not suggesting that all blame for escalation is the responsibility o' the person being confronted by police. as we has said elsewhere, we believe that law enforcement as a whole should consider changes regarding the appropriate use o' force, and there needs be serious counseling regarding the so-called "attitude test." we would expect the police officer to be actively attempting to reduce tensions rather than looking for excuses to twist a fella up for contempt o' cop failures. even so, we recognize that escalation is usual requiring more than one yutz. HA! Good Fun!

'cause we boasted 'bout the channel islands national park earlier, we were recalling the visitor center video is available online. HA! Good Fun!

no doubt the 58% o' english teens who believe sherlock holes is teh real will one day be vindicated. HA! Good Fun!

we would still win our bet. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1577511/Winston-Churchill-didnt-really-exist-say-teens.html http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2013/0222/Was-Chelyabinsk-meteor-actually-a-meteor-Many-Russians-don-t-think-so.-video people believe all kinda ridiculous stuff, and the surveys can be tailored to make folks seem even more ridiculous. so let's all have a hearty laugh at the 68% of english teens who believe that king arthur were a real boy and the 47% that thought richard the lionheart were fictional? HA! Good Fun!

oh, and for californians who has not actual visited the channel islands https://www.nps.gov/chis/planyourvisit/index.htm 'ccording to the site, only 30,000 people visit the islands annually. compare to yosemite which gets 4 million visitors. as a teacher, hurl gets summer vacations... am recollecting that summer is a good time for seeing blue and humpbacks 'round the channels. grey whale migration is winter. HA! Good Fun! ps the little island foxes that is seeming everywhere is more insidious and clever than raccoons, and they will 'mark' everything.

No it's sad that these two knuckleheads are the best we could come up with for a potential president. y'know how many elections previous to this one has had Gromnir saying the exact same thing? unfortunately, this time around we feel as if the universe or God or whatever took offense at our past hubris and presented us with a true nightmare scenario. next election is gonna need be kang v. kodos to be offering a less desirable pair o' options. HA! Good Fun!

valparaiso is pinochet's hometown. gonna stick with usa as that were the original query, but honestly, we would need a map to figure out total numbers. quick count in our noggin says 28 as lowest possible number. have visited many states, but for a considerable # we only saw a hojos and a couple gas stations (and yes, Gromnir is that old that we can honest reference hojos).... or just the airport. for example, we musta driven through ohio literal a dozen times, and never stopped anywhere o' note. am understanding gd feelings 'bout ca, even if we find such pov to be limited. ca is enormous and diverse. we got rainforests, deserts and some o' the most picturesque mountain settings you could hope to imagine, and not all is having the tourist density o' yosemite. is areas so rural and remote that they makes brigadoon seem positive avant-garde by comparison. surf mavs in the morning and ski tahoe in the afternoon? channel islands is perhaps our favorite national park. dunno. as much as there is places we dislike in ca, we find it difficult to dislike ca as a state simple 'cause it offers so much diversity. favorite state? is a weird question as we typical thinks o' specific destinations rather than entire states. for example, we likes any number o' places in illinois, but the state? we do like corn and tornadoes can be kinda pretty in a terrifying kinda way, but we would be hard-pressed to call illinois our favorite state. ny State is a possibility. am knowing the tendency is to think o' the city as somehow representative o' the state, but that is far from the truth. got rural beauty AND all the cultural necessities Gromnir requires. for example, as much as we like eastern idaho, there is gonna be a paucity o' elite theater and music not to mention a stunning shortcoming insofar as our dining requirements is concerned. have said elsewhere that we dislike the south. is a problem for Gromnir. we don't like the humidity + heat combo and we has had less than favorable dealings with... southern culture. so pretty much anything south o' dc and east o' new mexico is verboten. dunno, the more we consider, the more we think ca is the winner for us. sure, most areas is relative expensive, but we ain't hurting for cash. is actual difficult to think o' something we want and can't get in ca... other than watching a notre dame home game live and in person. HA! Good Fun! ps we has spent a considerable amount o' time outside o' the US, particularly in asia and especially japan. am always happy to come home.

well, am betting the % is lower than say the number o' english teenagers who believe winston churchill is a fantasy character. am willing to bet hard money that the % is less than the number o' russians who believe the chelyabinsk meteor were not a meteor at all-- top choices seem to include a US Govt. conspiracy, Russian Govt. conspiracy or aliens. HA! Good Fun!

am recalling a baseball game we saw at candlestick some years ago when we were attending Cal. temps were mid/high 70sF, so we were in t-shirt and shorts. were one o' the more miserable baseball experiences we ever endured. at similar temps in a shaded seat with winds blowing at literal dozens o' comiskey games we attended, we woulda' been comfortable and maybe even a bit warm as the press o' all those human bodies had a tendency to make one feel warmer than the thermometer might suggest. were shivering our arse off at candlestick. always brought at least a sweatshirt with us to candlestick thereafter, regardless o' temps. san francisco baseball were a bit o' a shock for a guy from the midwest. good luck with the return trip. HA! Good Fun!

2 observations, one o' which is likely to get us in trouble with fellow minorities: 1) racism is a vague word shouldn't be. seems clear. treated unfairly 'cause o' race? then you experienced racism, yes? makes sense. fits dictionary definition. the thing is, when folks from minority groups speak o' racism, there is a tendency to lump the individual acts o' racism as well as the broader systemic denial o' equality o' opportunity. am expecting that most all o' us posting has experienced bigotry. treated unfair 'cause o' race, national origin, religion, taste in movies... whatever. the human animal, particularly in groups, has a tendency to resort to exclusionary behaviors that is manifest unfair. white guy is treated unfair by a black man 'cause o' race is racism where we is using racism to explain specific bigotry. the thing is, racism is also referring to a systemic evil. particularly where teh State denys equality o' opportunity based on race, we got a different kinda racism. may not even seem like bigotry neither as can be insidious and largely hidden. the guy at the bank who is denying your loan 'cause o' the predominantly african american neighborhood in which you plan to start your business may be very polite, and his reasoning for denial for the loan may even be based solely on sound business practices, but is still gonna have the potential to be racist. now, keep in mind that unlike some folks, we do not see systemic racism as a necessarily greater evil than bigotry. the terrible things we do to each other 'cause o' bigotry can be nightmarish. that being said, when folks speak o' racism, there is often confusion as to whether they is speaking o' bigotry or systemic denial o' opportunity or both. 2) the concept o' "generational racism" needs a viking funeral am not denying the impact o' past misdeeds on the current generation o' ___________. back in the early 1900s, there were all kinda government practices in the US that led to black americans being denied equal opportunity for home ownership. sounds like a small and remote problem, but the effects is enduring up until today. for most americans, the largest single investment they will ever make is a home, and there is all kinda tax and probate benefits related to ownership o' a primary residence. bob, the average middle-class white guy, is benefiting from multiple generations o' family home ownership and wealth transference. such generational inequities must be recognized. ... however, where we disagree is with the general notion o' non-specific emotional scaring from generational racism as being some kinda problem that needs fixing. am not denying that past injuries can linger and hurt and color perceptions for those generations that follow, but we don't believe such emotional scarring need or should be addressed when considering how to fix the future for marginalized peoples. sack up. really. find a way to create genuine equality o' opportunity while recognizing that past wrongs handicap various minorities before they even is born. find a way to actual level the playing field through educational and job opportunities and through business and property ownership legislation. but don't waste a moment o' time on the unnecessary and counter-productive hand-wringing that so often accompanies the "generational" racism discussion. your great-great grandfather were enslaved or murdered or both? well guess what, is any number o' jewish or catholic or chinese or polish persons who can share history lessons that is also full o' weal and woe. am not suggesting that folks should forget the past. hell am not even demanding that people forgive past wrongs. you wanna be angry 'cause great grandma mei were effective sold into slavery, and used as a prostitute for over a decade when she got off the boat in san francisco from china in the late 1800s? fine. be angry, but don't use such generational racism and scaring as an excuse for continued lack o' achievement. demand equal opportunity, and then prove you deserve it. make so that the legit angry young, black man can have a similar chance to succeed as does any wasp. unfortunate, generational racism is, all too often, an excuse to forgive personal inadequacy. can be a cheap dodge, and even when is real and genuine and honest, it ain't fixable save through a generation or two o' earned success. so ends another pointless Gromnir rant. HA! Good Fun!

its a bit like experiencing poverty for 20 minutes. wealthy man forgets his wallet at home and can't purchase those opera tickets as he were expecting. clearly mr. moneybags understands poverty now that he has had to endure it... for 20 minutes. HA! Good Fun! ps it may not be true today, but 15 years ago there were few individuals more racist than the typical ny cabbie. full gamut o' racism. you could be too black or too white or too puerto rican or too earthling. cabbies were, as often as not, nuts and angry at... something. am being only slight hyperbolic. anywho, we had a few caucasian friends tell us how they understood racism 'cause frequently a black cabby would scream at them as they drove off, refusing to give'em a ride to the met or wherever. our white friends would laugh about the experience and wonder why we couldn't be just as dismissive o' such ludicrous behavior.

much as with computer games, Gromnir has difficulty becoming enthusiastic 'bout more than one or two movie titles a year. oh sure, after a movie is released and word o' mouth from folks who share our refined sense o' style and taste (jk) leads us to believe that we will also enjoy the movie, then we, perhaps, become... less indifferent? dunno, we do follow a bit o' news for select movies, but am suspecting we do so in large part to validate our natural tendency to be dismissive. ghostbusters reboot? cast includes the nails-on-the-chalkboard annoying melissa mccarthy? we haven't watched snl regular for +15 years, so half o' the cast is gonna be more than a little unfamiliar to us. *shrug* this one ain't one o' the two titles for 2016 that is exciting us... and given all the problems we has heard that rogue one is facing, we can reduce to one. as to the vitriol the ghostbusters movie is inspiring, am admitting bafflement. when we heard adam sandler, of all people, were gonna reboot the longest yard with himself staring as paul crewe, we were momentarily dumbstruck. weren't the reboot aspect that bothered us but rather that adam sandler were thinking he could replace burt reynolds, who were an all-american rb at florida state and pretty much the walking definition for 1970s macho-cool, in the role. sandler as caretaker or unger woulda' made sense to us, but paul crewe? we never saw the new longest yard, and we didn't give it much thought after our initial surprise. dunno. did the longest yard inspire the kinda hate that ghostbusters seems to be? if not, then why not? new ghostbusters. meh. until the movie is released and particular folks we know speak to its quality, or lack thereof, we will continue to have little interest in the title. HA! Good Fun!

Haven't we played this game before? yes. HA! Good Fun!

as an aside, am all in favor o' individual citizens speaking their mind on the current issues. many folks is gonna be wingnuts and/or idiots. many folks is gonna be bigoted and irresponsible. many folks is gonna have preconceptions that defy any attempt to advance any kinda dialectic. good. let the marketplace o' ideas work as it is 'posed to. let folks share beliefs and concerns. encourage folks to share beliefs and concerns. "to courageous, self-reliant men, with confidence in the power of free and fearless reasoning applied through the processes of popular government, no danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is opportunity for full discussion. if there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence." is a freedom we have here that bruce does not. is a belief we share that seems to baffle bruce. we can have white supremacists and members o' the black panthers arguing 'bout issues w/o any chance o' criminalization based on ideas being shared. President is different. the President shouldn't simple shoot his mouth off and raise concerns as does the ordinary citizen. racial tensions IS high. can be concerned and advise restraint w/o premature characterization o' events, no? oh, and don't reduce to "you don't like obama much." is petty. we like obama just fine when it comes to any number o' issues, but we also don't ignore his failures. ferguson silence were fail. call the events in minnesota and louisiana symptomatic and deeply concerning were wrong. as for the agenda issue... are you channeling vol? what are we talking 'bout at the moment? is a fear in the US that cops indulge in excessive uses o' force, particularly with young, black men. it is an issue. the problem needs discussion. obama has been accused o' complacency regarding the issue. the recent videos gave him an opportunity to address the issue. sadly, he jumped the gun... no pun intended. his comments has a tendency to polarize rather than unify AND he might be complete wrong that the incidents is anything other than isolated and devoid o' any meaningful racial element. am not gonna get into you with it on foreign policy. again, if the accusation is that trump adds to the chaos, then how is obama comments any different. w/o any genuine idea o' what took place in minnesota and louisiana, he helped advance a narrative that may very well turn out to be wrong. worse, we see no way to view his comments as having done anything other than polarize opinion. those who look at the videos and see police brutality is gonna cheer on obama for speaking truth. other folks who can't ever see police negligence were equal angered by obama comments. and then there is folks such as Gromnir... folks who would ordinarily refuse to pick any kind o' side in the debate 'til we get more info. folks such as Gromnir listen to obama comments and has a tendency to be pushed to one extreme or the other. see obama as voicing a legit concern that need be raised regardless o' the timeliness, or folks who wonder at how a President could be so irresponsible as to suggest a link 'tween events and a larger problem when so little info is available. HA! Good Fun!

*sigh* whether you believe there is larger problems in the US system o' justice (and trayvon martin is a horrible example for reasons we mentioned elsewhere on these boards... bad bruce,) the shootings in MN and LA do not necessarily represent such problems. to use the incidents in louisiana and minnesota to advance possible unrelated agenda issues is irresponsible at best. be Presidential. am agreeing that there is a problem in the US given the current relationship 'tween law enforcement and citizens... particularly young, black and male citizens. you think obama's recent comments did anything to reduce the tension? regardless, at this point in time, to claim that the videos from louisiana and minnesota were anything other than isolated incidents, and to claim that they is symptomatic o' larger problems facing the justice system is wrong. advance dialogue by advancing the possibly false perception that the recent shootings in louisiana and minnesota were symptomatic? is not necessarily a lie, but is pretty darn close... and is irresponsible given the current racial tensions. we do, as a nation, need more dialogue on the issues o' how police interact with citizens. as leferd mentions elsewhere, the fed is actual taking steps to deal with those issues. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/88037-dallas-sniper-shootings/?p=1826545 so why didn't obama do as did leferd? acknowledge that there is a deep perception problem and explain that the Federal government is committed to dealing with the problem through education programs that is already in place. counsel restraint. advise 'gainst premature rushes to judgement. be a President. HA! Good Fun!

Interesting post , I have a question is Obama not suppose to show any sympathy towards certain police killings? Is he not suppose to get involved on a personal level especially considering the fact most of us acknowledge there are some real inconsistencies about how some African Americans are treated in US society? Also he condemned the Police killings at Dallas ... am not seeing a point. if obama had stayed complete silent on the dallas shootings, particular after seeming to rush to judgement on the earlier shootings in louisiana and minnesota, there woulda' been a p00p storm o' epic proportions. no gold star for obama for the no-brainer. and don't fail for false dichotomy. is not condemn shootings as part o' a symptomatic problem OR ____________. obama can sympathize and advocate restrain while _________. again, fill in the blanks with any number o' responses. is no dichotomy as bruce seems to wanna present. we expect sympathy, but we also expect obama to be Presidential. failure to say anything that mighta' helped prevent ferguson riots were disappointing. drawing conclusions 'bout larger problems related to police practices based on no more than a grainy video o' an armed man being wrestled to the ground and then shot AND video taken AFTER the shooting o' a person pulled over 'cause o' response to a BOLO? sorry, but the commentary at this point is irresponsible. w/o knowing more, to conclude that the recent shootings is symptomatic o' bigger problems for police is just... wrong. be sympathetic. be concerned. but be freaking Presidential. for chrissakes, one reason we dislike trump is 'cause he shoots his mouth off when speaking from a point o' ignorance. obama did the exact same thing you has criticized in trump, yes? HA! Good Fun!

we also like ww, which were one o' the disappoints we had with BvS. we knew before seeing BvS that ww would get almost no screen time, nevertheless, the manner in which ww were utilized in the film felt forced and clumsy. hopefully the ww stand-alone flick is decent... though am understanding that filming actual ended earlier this year, so is no time for gadot to get in a little more gym work. *sigh* HA! Good Fun!

“These fatal shootings are not isolated incidents” "Symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system" obama was "deeply disturbed" by video of the shooting in baton rouge" etc. these is just recent. were worse after ferguson in part 'cause o' early failure to say nothing 'til tensions had boiled over. w/o knowing any actual facts, and seeming embracing the limited narrative presented in the media, obama is taking what is, 'til we know more, two isolated incidents that may actual turn out to be justified (or not) and turning 'em into an opportunity to advance a particular agenda. the guy in minnesota had a gun on his lap and were pulled over 'cause the cop in question were concerned that the driver might be a suspect identified in a BOLO? well, that woulda' been information we woulda' liked to have known before concluding that the shooting were symptomatic o' bigger racial issues, eh? obama has not been helping. fail from failure to respond as in ferguson when it took riots to get a comment from him, and now we got him arguably rushing to judgement? again, am not certain what would be the perfect thing to say as we suspect that advising restraint would only further enrage some segments o' society, but obama has not been helping with his commentary. HA! Good Fun!

we would say that trump is more symptomatic than cause. is few, if any, folks who but for trump commentary would be peaceful and productive members o' society. and to be fair, obama handling o' racial tensions in the US is arguably adding as much (and likely more) to the chaos than anything trump says. yeah, we sympathize with obama as there is frequent no right thing to say, but generally when he does speak on racial issues, obama errs and helps further polarize an already concerned public. HA! Good Fun!

I'm sorry, this is factually incorrect and you're a doo-doo head for thinking it. Why? She had like 3 minutes screentime or something and then beat up a big bad guy? manifested likes that gal gadot is pretty. to be fair, amy adams is kinda cute, but hardly hawt. for an enormous actiony blockbuster, it is typical that there will be at least one female star who is making adolescent boys marginally uncomfortable with their new and inexplicable feelings. without gadot... *shrug* HA! Good Fun!
