    Point of clarification . . . America is not a melting pot, though exceptions exist. Salad bowl is the more appropriate metaphor, cause we have so many pockets of people who hang with/tend to their own. They are less apt to mix in with the majority. For example, my wife is Asian and tends to devote her social time to other Asians, even those who do not speak her native language.

    But it's true that the U.S. is great in so many ways and we (esp. those of us on this board who are most likely in the middle class or better) have great beaches. Ever been to Siesta Key? Oh yeah. I also agree w you about Scandinavian women. Living in northern MN, I can attest that the Norwegians, Fins, and Swedes have their share of beautiful.

    Northern beaches are the best. I went through Siesta Key about 25 years ago. My heart is in Marco Island. America is becoming less of a melting pot due to identity politics. When it's left to the individual, most humans see themselves in other races and creeds. When lumped together into groups, humans become indoctrinated and view other races and creeds as "different".

    One of the biggest lies ever told is that the government monitoring script on applications where they ask you to identify your race and ethnicity is necessary to combat racism.

    Do you think the 2020 election was stolen?

    She would make an exquisite Ms. Trunchbull if they did a remake of that movie.

    I grew up in Naples and spent some time on Tiger tail beach at Marco. So much great boating and fishing in the area too. I don't doubt that identity politics play a role in the salad bowl assertion, but from my experience, it's more about cultural norms. This is evidenced by the various diasporas, mostly found in large cities (China Town, Korean Town, Somalian pockets, and Mexican spots, etc.). They band together for cultural reasons. The same was true with African American women I've dated. Their friends gathered for community, church, etc. where American politics were less of a consideration. Just my experience.

    The Koreans in south central LA who wore the Daniel San Lotus Headbands back in '92 will always be patriots in my book.

    Let me guess…you lost your reading glasses! Both of your statements are wrong. Your second assertion is just an outright lie, and your first assertion is a misunderstanding of my criticism. You are 0 for 2.

    Second time in this thread for Hillary. Posted Al Gore's concession speech before.

    seriously? I’ve heard the entire diatribe numerous times from that witch. You come off as an intelligent person to me. We don’t agree on most politics, but whoop-di-doo. But please don’t suggest that that B was not telling everyone that her anointment was stolen from her. You are too smart to start going down that path.

    Yes, under appropriate circumstances that ensure competitive fairness. I defer to the athletic associations on how to best achieve that.

    stolen? I have no evidence to disprove the final result, so no. Do I think it was legitimate? Nope. Do I think the 2016 election was legitimate? Nope. Do I think the upcoming 2024 election is going to be a shit-show of corruption? Yep.

    He said, "we are entering totalitarianism." He did NOT say it was totalitarianism.
