Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immediately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee.
I Google'd to see how many world leaders are female; Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, and there were a few more. This is a man's world, what are your thoughts of women in power?
Steffi, wouldn't you love to know how the male membership feels about women who would lead or might lead their country? I know I would! In the business world, mostly in big companies, you will find that there are women in decision making positions. I would like to think that these women are in those positions because they are well qualified. It's 2015 and sadly in the business world, there still seem to be benchmark positions that must be met.
I'm Team Mustard, yes, brown, spicy mustard! I had to Google English Mustard, it looks like our regular, run of the mill yellow mustard with a KICK! Surprised to find that the product comes in a powdered form that can be mixed with water 15 minutes prior to it being served. Sounds like it is an interesting product and Amazon is my friend.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Honestly, I was not aware of the significance of the day other than it is a day of partying and drinking. Here's some background on the day, taken from the internet.
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla). Mexican Americans also often see the day as a source of pride; one way they can honor their ethnicity is to celebrate this day.
The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.
I know why there is a picture of a female on the Popular 'normal dick' page, it's because you GUYS, your views and votes. But WHY? No need to wonder why your pictures don't make it there.....
There we go again! A new member, BiggerThanYoBF was deleted by the evaluation panel because the ONLY picture he posted was found on tumblr.
I contacted the member approximately 15 to 16 hours ago and requested that he remove any web derived pictures as it was against site guidelines. I received a quick reply from him stating that he did have a tumblr account however the picture posted on SYD was not posted there. Regardless, the picture was removed and sometime shortly after, he signed off. I believe the first vote to delete was cast after the picture was removed, qualified with [s]he THOUGHT it was a fake account, perhaps we could request a verification picture. Too late to ask for a verification picture, the member was deleted before he could sign on again.
Even though the new member removed the picture in question, all it took was the input from another member to delete and the followers followed. It's a damn shame when new members and established members comply yet are still deleted!
And folks wonder what can be done to increase membership as well as spark interest in others to become paying members!
It certainly does disturb me that even once a reported member has complied and removed a contentious image that other members will still vote for deletion.
I believe I did vote against deletion quite late in this particlar case, specifically after any image had been removed.
There does appear to be a subtext to these deletions. The assumption is that the person posting a contentious image is a fake and therefore, regardless of their action to comply with a request and remove an image they should still be deleted as they are fakes. In which case why bother with the request for the image to be taken down.
I would have thought that natural justice demanded that a member removing an image should be allowed to remain. Should they continue to reoffend that is a separate issue and should be brought to the panels attention when refeering a second time.
-Later tonight, Indonesia will be executing, simultaneously, by firing squad a number of prisoners from various countries, including my own. A number of those people, though not all, have been convicted and sentenced on very dodgy evidence, with fairly well sourced indications that direct judicial corruption and political interference is involved in some cases, and despite pleas from any number of international figures, including the Secretary General of the United Nations. Notwithstanding Indonesia's absolute refusal to consider clemency, and despite the fact that a couple of judicial commissions have yet to deliberate on the corruption allegations... Indonesia meantime asks for clemency for its own citizens sentenced to death in other countries (- and quite rightly.) Whatever your views on capital punishment, please spare a moment to reflect on the anguish of the prisoners and their families, and a prayer for them if you have a religious belief.
yep, and is true what deshabile states. Corruption is everywhere and if you have ever been to bali i think its one of the most corruptible places on earth but they have laws that need to be adhered to and so corruption = comply
Basically... its been known for sometime. But depends on the class of dru gs, and or the money you can pay. And as for the UN, they never amount to anything anymore. Just look around wasted money... just my opinion--------------------------------------- added after 21 minutes anyway i have to sl33p now so i can get up in the morning and loose some fat and thuggery... (thug) totally honest unique guy
It appears that the executions have now been carried out. I hold no brief to defend capital punishment and the effects on the family members left behind must be beyond comprehension. What I can't get my head around though is why people even attempt to take the smallest amount of drugs in or out of S.E Asian countries that still have the death penalty. They must have been aware of the risk.
My thoughts on executions is this which is a simple question to ask but hard to answer. How can you diminish evil by doing evil? By doing evil and killing are you just as guilty? What happens later if we were to find out they were innocent? Would they care? So who is evil?
spare a thought for the innocent lives the drugs kill..the unborn babies that are born addicts, the people that are mugged and bashed for money to buy these insipid coctails, for their cheap thrills, spare a thought for the thousands of starving kids in Africa, that are dying of thirst.... theres so many more deserving people that should be given a chance to live a normal life...why should we keep **** traffickers at the top of the list when there are far more that deserve a prayer who have done nothing to deserve the life they live...
the millions of dollars spent keeping those two alive could have kept thousands alive, could of helped **** or hospitals or schools, yes what a waste of life, but whose life??? two **** dealers, that made bad decisions, or the innocent....that never had a chance to live???
I was home the entire weekend and watched a good bit of TV. I was unaware that you had to pull a permit to climb certain mountains and bowled over to hear that the cost of a permit to climb Mount Everest is upwards of $ 70,000.00 U.S. dollars. Certainly there are other costs involved, this is just the cost of the permit! Crazy!
People are strange when you're a stranger

I actually thought that the correct response was burgers. I'm not convinced that this was not a trick question. Was Robert Irvine speaking of only the States or the entire world and the word 'dining', what are we talking about? Dining, is that supposed to be a civilized, sit down meal with a salad and a napkin on your lap or eating a burger off of a piece of waxed paper?
I'm not a worldly person, haven't traveled much other than to a couple of states and to Canada, our friendly neighbor to the north. In the States, it seems like there's fast food restaurant on every corner. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and then there's the prominent chains, Red Robin, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday. The affordability of the burger was also something I considered, so those were the factors I based my response on.
What do you think the palates for the rest of the world long for? Is it possible that it is crusty bread and hearty soup?
I happened to notice this the other day and thought, 'HOW COOL IS THIS?!?'. Longtime member, MoeJoe, features different 'guests' with a 'snapshot' of their cock on his page that he titles 'Coffee with MoeJoe'. If you weren't aware or haven't seen these tributes/pictures, stop by, say hello and share your thoughts.
Thank you, Bella, I am only home to check post and messages and I am off again later today. I don't know about energizing myself, I am SO tired right now I fell asleep yesterday in the middle of the afternoon.
I Google'd to see how many world leaders are female; Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, and there were a few more. This is a man's world, what are your thoughts of women in power?
We had a woman Prime Minister and she decimated the UK industries for a quick profit.The only thing she did well was fight...
I am curious to know why you see it as a man's world ?
As every man knows ,behind every good man is a good woman..
Will he be known as the 'First Gentleman' if Hilary is successful in becoming President of the United States...
So a second Clinton could become President..
Democracy hey!!!
Two Clintons are still better than two 'Bush's' though...
A bird in the hand is worth more than two in a bush....lol

Laws are in place,it's the justice system to decide.That's why there are legal systems..all corruptible at some level.
Humans like rules,and then to test the boundaries of those rules.
And while humans make the rules,everything is open to interpretation.
the millions of dollars spent keeping those two alive could have kept thousands alive, could of helped **** or hospitals or schools, yes what a waste of life, but whose life??? two **** dealers, that made bad decisions, or the innocent....that never had a chance to live???

Hmmm..... the golden trophy was there yesterday. Perhaps the member 'cashed it in' for additional points.
It's been updated.
And admin put it in a while back about a month or more I think...

Not much on lyrics, is it Steffi?
What is the most popular food ordered for takeout dining?
a) Pizza
b) Chicken wings
c) Burgers
