Jim Bauer @porwest (95309) • United States 9 Nov 22

I have made this statement too many times to count around here, although most of the time it falls on deaf ears. America first. For the record, I am a conservative republican. I have said that too. Did I support...

Scott I agree with your thought process. It's difficult to have discussions like that now. Everything is so polarized. People think if you agree with someone's policies then you somehow agree with everything they are and do. And that's simply not the case. In my...

Socks On or Off

Jim Bauer @porwest (95309) • United States 28 Dec 22

This morning's poll on Bing was asking whether or not I prefer to wear socks to bed or go barefoot. I answered "socks on" because right now it is winter, and during the winter I wear socks to bed. But if it had been summer, my...

Scott I tend to go without socks to bed all year round. Honestly, I go without socks a lot throughout the day as well. In the summer, I am barefooted most of the time.

Do you think Obama is trying to give Donald Trump a hard time before Donald will be in power on Jan 20, 2017 ?

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 29 Dec 16

I think Obama is doing all he can to try to make Donald Trump face more challenge by not cooperating with Donald's future move. For example, his policy towards Israel is already one of the good example. Look at how Obama abandon...

do you go to church every Sunday?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 25 Nov 12
