You really don't have a clue how your hellish piece of the planet appears to the rest of the world do you?

Yeah, right, that's why Trump wants to put up a wall to keep all those wetbacks out of this hellhole.

Every Western country is having problems with immigrants, or hadn't you noticed? Hmm, especially since your shit-hole attacked Iraq.

Give me your poor, etc. Oh how far the moral mighty have fallen.

You do realise that you are, what? A second generation 'wetback'?

Let's put it this way, I don't think there are any Americans clamoring to get out of here, and if there were, we would just tell them not to let the door hit them in the ass on their way out.

That's probably because they are too fat to get out the door.

Personally, as a born American, I know several that have chosen to live here in the UK.
Americans like Bob, are just too ignorant to even consider the thought that there are other places that have more to offer, as most of them don't own a passport.

If you're suggesting that more Americans choose to live in England than vice versa, you're crazier than I thought!

Maybe men did create "the madness" , but only because women let them. If women had made a stronger case for sanity, it could never have happened. Women are just as much to blame.
ONLY BECAUSE women LET them???? I don't think that's the reason that men continually do insane things! I think it's from unevolved stupidity. They don't recognize the bigger picture of wholeness... and all the ripples that happen from their knee-jerk violent reactions in any given moment. As for women LETTING men do anything... it's not as if women have been put in any positions of power to STOP much of anything. And that's probably WHY men stomped out pagan traditions and goddess worship long ago, and then held women down in every area of decision-making and life. Although women are coming back into their power, men still fight it like crazy... and give women LESS than they give men. Don't blame women for the stupid mistakes men have made. Women are not the keepers of men... and women do not think like men. Just like nature, we're not into fighting for every damn thing! We're going with a bigger flow that KNOWS what it's doing. It's not our fault that the planet is infested with domineering ego-maniac self-proclaimed man-gods. Women have been treated like objects just like everything else on this planet. We're meditating on evolution breeding this nonsense out of humankind... for the betterment of ALL! :D

Probably moreso than it has any chance of being right now. Nice to think about, isn't it? :D More love, less war.

Maybe but I think the 'Celts' not all that peaceful and the historical queens and modern female leaders don't show that there'll be much difference.

That's true. If women had the power that men do I'm sure they would be just as bad or even worse.
