I just happened into a group of websites describing some monasteries in Thailand called Buddhist

Hell. It is very disturbing.

I have believed that hungry ghosts and Hell realms were conditions in this world.

Can anyone help me understand this? I think it is very scary.

Warning - the statues depicted are violent and horrible so don't click if you don't want to see them.

What executive orders do you think Obama should create during his last year in ffice

He issued about 247 so far.

I think he should issue one about body cameras on all police if he is allowed to do. And I don't give a shit how much it costs.

(I just found he issued an order to take out military equipment). And in Feb 2014 he called on congress to pass order for camera but that has obviously been ignored)


Here are some numbers of other presidents executive orders

Franklin Roosevelt executive the most orders with 3,701

Ronald Reagan - 381

George W Bush 294

Barack Obama - 234

I would hope that there is some way, (like the anti abortion governors use) to make the governors of the states that refuse to adopt medicaid expansion to do so)

Here is a list of the orders Obama has implemented so far.

Just looking for ideas if anyone has one. I am sure that, we the people, can come up with more than the Democrats in Washington.

I don't know what he has issued about gun control safety.

Maher has a great way explaining things and what he has to say about Democrats and their crazy behavior right now.

Is the keeper of the website here? None of the little

things where you change the size of your shirt are working. I checked some other ones on the site and they seem not to be working also.

I would like to buy some things but......



I also keep trying to change the number of my bernie stickers and it won't let me change it.

Who do you think Bernie would vote for?

Do you think if he lost the primaries he would say, "I'm not voting for Hillary because I stand by my "principles"

Fuck NO. The man would stand with the Democrats. He wouldn't go on this ego trip of taking his vote away on a platform because things aren't the way he demands them to be! No matter what we are all being granted the good fortune of learning from him and have him spread a new way of looking at things to the masses.

Don't you think that alone will cause whoever is president to behave differently?

Or would you rather have Trump because your principles are more ego than anything else? And in the meantime all your fighting is just hurting the Democratic cause. I understand that people's emotions are running very high but that is no excuse for bad behavior.

I will vote for whoever is the Democratic nominee. Just like I'm sure Bernie AND Hillary would.
