No we're not. ;)

I feel like this thread is tearing Arch Boston apart...I think you guys are gonna need a meet up and a mediator at a local bar in the near future. ;)

Please stop. Go be a novel writer or make movies. You're just making things up.

https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/the-lesser-evil If you have 2.5 hours to kill, here's a good conversation by Sam Harris and Andrew Sullivan about Trump and Clinton. Basically, they spend the first 30 minutes talking about how horrible Clinton his, and they spend the rest of the time...

I almost voted for Gary Johnson. When I got my absentee ballot two or three weeks ago, really sat down and gave it a lot of thought. I was going to lodge my "protest vote." Before I voted, I took look at the polls and saw that Trump was gaining ground, even in Massachusetts. So, I made the...

Cheers. I actually like to call Hillary Clinton this year's "Mitt Romney." She's a centrist chameleon who will be just another status quo president. Despite all the nonsense we've learned about from her emails and everything we know about her, I had no choice but to vote for her this year...

I voted for Obama both times. I think Romney was capable and competent to be president (despite ideological differences I have with him), but I believe(d) that our country needs to go in a more "progressive" direction. However, I do remember the Romney years in Mass. It seemed like he spent...

I disagree. Television curtains cub box but eleven car noise man. Ahoy! Sign hammer man smith.

I voted for Hillary (absentee ballot), but it's not one of my prouder moments in voting. Just think, if the GOP hadn't been the party of "no" for so long, and they actually nominated someone worth voting for, they'd stand a chance in this election. With all of the allegations against Clinton...

I also want to be clear that I completely understand the need for limits on immigrants and refugees coming to the country. We need limits for a few reasons: 1. Too many (legal or illegal)immigrants can mean the loss of jobs for native born Americans 2. Too many immigrants can create a...

After rereading my comments from earlier, I sound like I was complaining about my childhood. By doing that, I may have muddied my points about immigrants and refugees. When I was living and working in NYC, I loved living in a mostly Hispanic/Asian neighborhood, but I was saddened by the amount...

I don't think it does anymore. It happened a lot when I was in the 6-8th grade and a bit in high school. When the swastikas were spray painted on the middle school, I was already a high school freshman. It made me nervous though because I was quite small for my age and I didn't hide my...

I've been waiting until I had the time to respond to this post of yours because some of your points struck a nerve with me. I more or less agree with you here. I'm a Jewish man, married to an Indian-Malaysian (and Hindu) and I love the multi-culturalism we find in Boston, NY and other cities...

I'm overseas now and I'm sick and tired of the election (especially since so many people like to ask me about it!). That being said, it's like an addiction to heroin. I know I shouldn't be "using," I simply can't enough.

He was a little easy on the mainstream media, but overall I thought this was brilliant. I've been thinking this for years, especially when my facebook feed is full of anti-vaxxers and people who believe the marathon bombing was a hoax.

Jeez...all we wanted was universal healthcare, better working conditions (family leave, sick leave, etc) more affordable college and better treatment of minorities and suddenly every "liberal" is responsible for the fall of the western world. Go figure.

I agree with you, but as Rick Pitino once said, "“Larry Bird’s not walking through that door, fans. Kevin McHale is not walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that door." Basically, I don't see TOD "walking through that door" right now, but this slot parlor is. I...

Ah man...You went all "charter schools are racist" to a charter school teacher on a first date? Rookie mistake ;)

What are "Rieds," and why do the Obamas, Clintons and Pelosis possess them? Edit: Yes, I know I'm trolling, but it's only because this conversation has gone pretty much as predicted. On a side note, I started a ballot question thread...

Since the Presidential race thread is going about as well as expected, I thought I might create a threat that relates so slightly less partisan, but still controversial ballot questions. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have four separate threads or squeeze them into one, but I figure that if...
