Not only fine, they embrace it, like I would've embraced Annette Funicello when I was 15 years old.

by the way, CNN stands for Clinton News Network

I haven't seen anybody defend Trump...he's a jerk, that needs to keep his mouth shut.
He says something like this and the media jumps all over it and ignores the plain view corruption hillary is involved in.
Trump's dumb comments don't affect the American people...read the thread about hillarious clinton...lots of that stuff DOES affect the American people.
Stop focusing on unimportant stuff like Trump's off the cuff comments and focus on what clinton has actually done.
We get enough of clinton ignoring from the media.

If you think the kids don't monitor this site, My 10th grader just called me, told me there was a post about Mackey and asked me to ban anyone who says "Evadale sucks"...........lol

National Hand Holding Day – August 9

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Everybody has their preferred technique: some like interlocking, others prefer cupping.   Some like the pinky-link while others prefer being on top…others on the bottom.   Some swing both ways. When it comes to holding hands it is not all about romance.  When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed.
James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don’t work as hard to cope with stress.  When we hold hands, (or hug and touch), our bodies release oxytocin.  Its role is to calm and destress, and it is thought that touch triggers the body into producing this hormone.
Touch stimulates the production of oxytocin which, in turn, promotes a desire to touch and be touched. In another study, researchers from the University of North Carolina told couples they would have to give speeches. Before they did so, 100 of the couples sat holding hands for a short time, then they embraced for 20 seconds. Another group of couples rested quietly and were separated from their partners. During their speeches, heart rates and blood pressure rose twice as high in the second group compared to the hand-holders. Research further suggests that oxytocin is the chemical that can give marriage its beneficial effect on health over those that are single.
To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort.
A poll of 3,000 people by Abbeyfield in the UK showed that more than half of people couldn’t remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died.
Just one in twenty respondents had held the hand of their grandma in the last month and only one in twenty five made this contact with their granddad. The report revealed a similar gender trend with parents, while only six percent of those surveyed had never held hands with their mother, twice as many had never held hands with their father.
The poll also revealed that the older you get, the more you regretted that lack of contact. Almost half (48 percent) of respondents over 55, when asked whose hand they would most like to hold, said it would be that of a departed parent.
The majority of respondents (80 percent) associated holding hands with romance but this contact was most popular amongst the young. Of those surveyed aged 17 and under, 64 percent most wanted to hold hands with someone they were attracted to. This figure decreased with age until only 21 percent of those over 55 wanted to hold hands for romance. This older group were most likely to associate holding hands with dying. (15 percent compared to less than two percent of those surveyed aged 17 and under)
Loneliness and depression are rampant in today’s society.  Holding someone’s hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation.
 
Beverly’s Hot Tips For Celebrating Hand Holding Day:
Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don’t wait until it’s too late and end up regretting that you didn’t grab at the opportunity. Holding hands has the benefits of keeping not only your heart warm, but your hands too…which is really important in the winter months here in Canada. Get past the embarrassment.  Little kids do it naturally to their parents and with their friends…because it feels nice.  
Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said:
. . . Share everything. . .
When you go out in the world,
Watch out for traffic, hold hands,
And stick together. . . .

The Great Divider has not caused but empowered the freaks, loons and morons to come of age. They were always there but not glorified. 
We can now claim that we are now another sex without the need for an actual change, get a stuffed dog and claim it as a service animal, have days/parades to proclaim a sexual preference, have a presidential election where the two parties selected a felon and a reality show host as candidates, etc. 

Exactly the point hippy.   If you have to go thru one of two doors, and you know behind Door #1 is nothing but an abyss, only makes sense to pick Door #2 and see what's behind it.

Neither candidate is ideal, but I KNOW what I'm going to get with Hillary.......and that is scary......
 

You guys don't like a mainstream Republican and you don't like one that won't fall in line with the mainstream Republicans.
lol...is there really any Republican you two would like...doubtful.
And I'll interpret the reckless comment from the GOP...Trump will "wreck" our good old boy system we have put in place...even clinton won't do that...therefore, he must be defeated, even if it means clinton getting elected.

If someone wants illegal drugs, why are they still able to get them?

Hopefully nothing "strange" happens to them.

And clinton will continue.

Sure would be interested to see those same results broken down into groups of those between 25 and 40, between 40 and 50 and between 50 and 60, and attempt to discern a trend.  I have a very strong suspicion that the "superiority of the left" numbers decline as age/wisdom numbers increase.   I am compelled to believe  that, at some point in one's life, one arrives at a conclusion that the nobility of an idea is not as noble as it once appeared when comparing the suggested societal benefit to the true societal cost.   won mite fynd da trend 2 bee unbieleivable

Buffet is the king of crony capitalism...you and the left complain about the Koch brothers but this guy is the worst.
You probably didn't know (or care) that he conveniently purchased a railroad a couple of years before the rail-car oil business exploded.

But you keep worrying about the Koch brothers...because they are Republicans, of course.

Today is an international traffic light's day
05.08.2014 14:48:20 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Today the world celebrates the international day of traffic lights. This festival is held in honor of the events that took place in 1914.
The first electric traffic light was developed in 1912 by Lester Wire, an American policeman of Salt Lake City, Utah, who also used red-green lights. On 5 August 1914, the American Traffic Signal Company installed a traffic signal system on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer, based on the design of James Hoge, to provide a warning for color changes. The design by James Hoge allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. 
The first non-electric, gas lit, traffic lights were installed on 10 December 1868, outside the British Houses of Parliament in London to control the traffic in Bridge Street, Great George Street and Parliament Street. They were promoted by the railway engineer J. P. Knight and constructed by the railway signal engineers of Saxby & Farmer. The design combined three semaphore arms with red and green gas lamps for night-time use, on a pillar, operated by a police constable. The gas lantern was manually turned by a traffic police officer, with a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic.
