Vietnam was unfortunately an important part of several presidents' legacies, before and after LBJ. The Vietnam conflict (AKA, war) had been going on long before LBJ's presidency, and he happened to be caught in the escalation cycle which continued into his successor's presidency.
The only war in history that was instigated (AKA, started) by a U.S. president was Iraq. It's a good bet that will happen once again before Trump's reign of terror is completed. It will be a miracle if he does not either start a war or cause one. | 4 | Are you Discojoe's cousin?
LBJ was one of the greatest legislative presidents we've ever had -- e.g. The 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Vietnam unfortunately was an important part of LBJ's failed legacy.
To Trump's credit he is not ignoring the existential threat posed to Japan, the RoK, Australia, and the U.S. by the DPRK, nor is he blind to the PRC aggression in the South China Sea.
But Trump's alienation of Merkel and Macron is undermining U.S. security. If Trump is not willing to support Article 5, then why should France or Germany or any other NATO country support the U.S. if it gets into a military confrontation with the PRC and/or the DPRK, which is an increasingly likely scenario?
In short, you are correct. Trump is a boor and his bad manners as well as his myopic strategic vision are hurting U.S. interests, especially with respect to our national defense. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45596860, 45438879, 45491654, 45404259, 45450096] |

Legally, the problem with "hate speech" is that it all too easily and often becomes (illegal and dangerous) incitement. | 6 | not really.
The reason is that once you go down the slippery slope of disallowing 'hate speech', then it gives ANY gov the ability to simply declare you speech as full of hate and disallow it.

NASA published CO2 data for the last 400,000 years based upon measurements of gasses trapped in ancient air bubbles frozen in polar ice. This information can be found at https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/24/ in "Graphic: The relentless rise of carbon dioxide".
You'll notice that although the CO2 level regularly cycled between 180 and 280 ppm for 400,000 years, since 1950 CO2 has risen dramatically to 400 mg/L. This was accompanied, as predicted, with global temperature increase. The science is settled.
CO2 is indeed plant food but the data confirms that global plant life is unable to assimilate the increase in CO2 concentration caused by human activities since the industrial revolution. Unassimilated CO2 can only go into two places, the atmosphere as indicated by the data, and the ocean where the hydrogen ion concentration (acidity) has increased by 29%. | 5 | Oceans largely govern climate change, including CO2 levels.

Jesus teaches
.
“Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven”
.
To cast out evil Jesus teaches us to pray and fast, if we both were to do this say every Friday others over time may join us and then we/many would see the truths (Power of pray) within the gospels actual working.
Will you join me yjin and perhaps also Lynne in this endeavour?

In Christ | 4 | Hello & Thank you Kevin!
I really did not have much complain about RCI (Roman Catholic Institution) before. It was Christ himself who initiated my relationship with Catholic Church. I was head over heels in love with Christ/God that all I care was to be united to God or die to see God face to face. Now I am retired and thought that I will just let go of world affairs. However, I am finding that clergy sex abuse of children is something that I can't let go! Pope F. will not ignore this like 'snake slide over the wall' - Oriental old saying!
It seems that people are giving up on this criminal conduct of Pope F.
I complain to Christ about this everyday and beg him to take me to himself or

Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry you find my comment about not being able to exercise my right to vote -- as guaranteed in the Constitution -- "snide." Voting entails much more than determining the "level/nature of government services that the rest of us pay for." It means making choices about the future of the country of which one is a citizen -- choices that affect all Canadians, whether we pay taxes, live abroad all or part of the time, own property in Canada, etc.
According to you, only those people who pay income tax should be allowed to vote. That would automatically disenfranchise a substantial portion of the Canadian electorate, including many seniors, students, non-working spouses and low-income people. Is that what you want?
I should also point out that US expats are required only to submit tax returns to their government. Whether they wind up paying tax to their government is another question entirely. | 4 | Dear Steve,
Your snide remark about not being able to vote - ignores 1 key thing. As an ex-pat, do you pay Canadian income taxes. US ex-pats do, but for that joy they encounter the tax man Apr 15 (IRS) and Apr 30 (CRA)
If you don't pay taxes, you should not have the right to determine the level/nature of government services that the rest of us pay for. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45535372, 45596860, 45404169, 45597315, 45388080] |

"Could our current Congress pour pee out of boot with a hole in the toe and directions on the heel?" | 4 | Congress had given the Defense Dept instructions on how to dispose of surplus government property by a bill passed in April of 1944. That is how confident we were as a nation that we would prevail. It also showed that we built a lot more accouterments of war than were needed, and to get high taxes lowered, rid of land, stuff, factories back to making goods and machinery to again service the citizenry, our 1944 Congress was far thinking and planning for peacetime, and jump starting our economy, getting soldiers, sailors and airmen in college to build this country's economy once again, going from a wartime footing to a peace time economy.
Which begs the question: Could our current Congress pour pee out of boot with a hole in the toe and directions on the heel? Starting in 1940, with closed factories, little capital but government borrowing, to a full fledged logistics giant in the world, building ships, planes, guns, to win a two theater WWII.

An Embryo is a structure created by the unification of sperm and egg or the insertion of a skin, or other cell, into an evacuated ovum and then stimulated to divide.

Your rebuttal is not compelling.
Indeed, regarding those readers you target: You claim (with no data of any kind) that most (more than 50%, an ascription you apply again with no data of any kind) of those supporting my post suffer from a "lack of analytic and critical thinking".
Wow, dude. It is amusing that you complained that the data I provided in support of my hypothesis (a table of thesis titles) suffered from "cherry picking", and yet you then saw fit to march forward with grand hand-waving judgments, out of thin air, about my post's readers, invoking no data of any kind - none, zero, zip.
That is so funny!
In any event, I suspect you are actually unaware of what fraction of readers have a handle on analytical and critical thinking. Working with the scientific method is a SUPERB teacher there, with its incessant demands for controls. That is different from writing descriptive and/or subjective narratives, something the arts do more of than the sciences. | 4 | Interesting rebuttal Demento. You absolutely MUST have your doctorate in a STEM field to be able to demonstrate such rational analytic thinking skills. After all, cherry-picking a few select examples to support your thesis has to be a valid argument form, right?
Your schtick might work around here Demento, but that only reflects the lack of analytic and critical thinking by the majority (regardless of STEM or Humanities background). | [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45458735, 45500969, 45596835, 45203823, 45597210] |

She disliked the tone of the priest running the program.
