It's funny that you mention that, Nixon did sweat in the presidential debate in 1960 and he lost, to a god damn Kennedy and there have been actual...

Have you met Low-key? I am curious though, you seem to use as a positive signifier the word modern. Would you describe yourself as modern? ...

Trumps biggest crime is that he's obnoxious. It's almost as unforgivable as the fact that Nixon actually turned out to sweat like he was a human...

In the confines of this discussion I tend to say no. For both Karma and Predestination. Because both rest on the premise that good things happen to...

Dude you are just being stubborn now. When modern American people comment about Karma is your first instinct to think they are Buddhist? Really?

And such a strong "Christian" ascribing to religious Buddhist and Hindu concepts. :o

What's stranger is someone in the 21st century with such a strong belief in moral geography.

How did a pro-lynching creep get someone to touch his dick?

Sounds like a horrible experience Minx. Hard to imagine how that would have worked out for most regular people who don't have the support system your...
