The moon landing. WOSU-tv (Columbus' PBS station) interviewed some of us in kindergarten about it.

I'll be there Saturday, learned a little something last year.

Had the 7 and 8 year old pseudo-granddaughters here for a week last month. Loved the time spent together, didn't mind seeing them go back home...

$35/year gets me roadside assistance for anything I'm driving, riding, or am a passenger in. the legislative stuff I just look at as a bonus.

I come back to this forum and get stuck in the dumb af thread? Oh yeah, it's a 2015 Triumph Bonneville Newchurch Special Edition. Black. Or the Rocket X s/e

Columbus as of the 2010 Census was 61.5% white, 28% black. At that time the mayor, police chief, 6 of 7 on the school board (and its president) and 7/7 on city council were black. Columbus still has the same mayor, but now 4 of 7 on both council and the school board are black, and the police chief's a white lesbian. Assuming the people in charge are good people, race <shouldn't> be an issue, though the governed may see it that way, for whatever reason.

I sincerely hope that Mr. Brown did, in fact, get into a fight with the officer and the shooting of him was justified. If the facts play out otherwise and he was, for lack of a better word, murdered; that will only further erode the public's (of all hues) waning trust of law enforcement.

I've been absent from this forum for more than a year for a variety of reasons, but I couldn't let this pass without comment... What part of this article do you not find serious? Being white, you experience positive profiling from law enforcement, i.e. you're white, you aren't dressed "like a gangster", thus you won't get much scrutiny. My girlfriend lives in Chicago. She's black (actually, a beautiful shade of brown). She has an advanced degree from a private school , earns well into the 6 figures, and is always dressed well. She gets followed in stores to this day. Believe it or not, but it's true. Not every store, obviously, but it does happen. She told me last night that she's so thankful she has a daughter instead of a son, and that her daughter has two girls, not boys. She knows what <could> happen to black men...she experiences racism as a black woman. If you don't believe that "white privilege" exisits, if you don't believe that law enforcement treats black people differently than white people, then you're kidding yourself.

they didn't until now... who cares? least of our worries.

I wanna know when that Senator divorced Mr. Franken and married Mr. Fein...

since i don't have a daughter, i see no problem? i, for one, would not have had issues with nekkid girlies in the shower.

i posted on the facebook last night about his threat in 2009 to the president of Arizona State and their board that they'd be investigated by the IRS after not giving him an honorary degree. maybe he was joking, maybe he wasn't. Chicago politics... *edit: link to his speech. 3rd paragraph. Hosted at the Gov't Printing Office. (click)

it's a warning to all media to play ball with the WH/POTUS in re: Benghazi, IRS, etc., or else... :tinfoil:

...you should see his rap sheet. I had to hook Satan up with a couple of servers due to all the rep thrown at JBot and Pauley...
