  • Re: :-)

    Democrats and Republicans have been hashing it out, sharing the power, and screwing the American public for over a hundred years. If you believe ANY politician who has been in office: You might be an idiot. The time has come for the American people to tell these 2 ELITIST groups to back off and stop running us into the ground.

    Just putting it out there - I've never understood the logic of people expecting men to pay for dates. In my circle of (young) university-educated female friends, we pick up as much of the tab as is reasonable - i.e. 50% generally, with proportional adjustments if if either partner is in a financially weaker position than the other. I can accept ...
