Kissing c****e butt? I think you missed the point and still would if it poked you in the eye. A former enemy has now joined the community of nations and become a trading partner after decades of c*******t totalitarianism that did nothing for their people. But we need a level playing field.
So, are you, instead, in favor of keeping these people poor and ignorant under their old regime. Change occurs from the bottom up, not top down. There brand of c*******m is becoming more open and free to compete in the world because the people demand it. Yes they have a long way to go. On the other hand, they could be like North Korea and use every means possible to control their people and make them s***es to the state. We are less likely to have any kind of conflict with a country like Vietnam than we would have with North Korea.

Yes Vietnam is still c*******t. The increase in GDP is understandable because when you have nothing any incremental increase is huge. Suppose you are (the United States) traveling at 50 mph and increase your speed to 51 mph; that is a two percent increase. Now suppose you are (Vietnam) traveling 10 mph and you increase your speed to 11 mph; that is a 10 percent increase. Where would you rather be?

We can honor every veteran, active duty, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice by not watching or attending any NFL games this weekend. Go to lunch with a veteran or do something with someone in the military.

It is! What started out as a c*******t country 4 decades ago and kept people in poverty has become a more capitalist economy because people demand a better standard of living, and everyone, except Bernie Sanders, knows c*******m/socialism doesn't work. Even the Chinese have figured this out, reluctantly, and are begrudgingly still trying to keep political power in the hands of the few.

People will believe anything. There is a sucker born every minute; they see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. The problem with Democrats, liberal, progressives, snowflakes, socialists, Occupy Wall Street, B*M, etc. etc., All think their feelings are more valid than scientific evidence or will make up evidence to support their feelings.

Has it come to mind that the women use THEIR POSITION to get what they want! Let's face it, you will never sleep with a woman who doesn't want too because they are really the ones who decide (unless you tie them up or kidnap them against their will). These are celebrity women who have more power than most people. Women also control more of the money in our society. This doesn't excuse Trump from his behavior, nor should it. But talk is not the same as behavior. Actions speak louder than words.

In the case of Anthony Weiner, the evidence was indisputable.

This all smacks of the 1980's McMartin pre-school molestation allegations. F**e news then, and while we don't know for sure yet, I would bet it's f**e news now.

Sounds like Kevin Spacey does.

Yes! Perhaps even some of the commentators posting on OPP.

Counting your chickens again before they hatch?

You are right! May God bless the victims and their families. I was quoting the Led Zeppelin song; It was meant to be facetious.

He was being facetious. He probably means the HUAC hearing into Hollywood socialists. Just ignore him.

It's a magazine.

The weapons are in the hands of sick people already; Our government! Take them away from citizens and we no longer have safeguards against tyranny.
