   https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/democrats-are-wrong-about-republicans-republicans-are-wrong-about-democrats/ Would be interesting to see other studies, but this isn't surprising. The two best... Republicans think 38% of democrats are LBGT. Democrats think 44% of republicans make $250K a year. (**those polled)

    interesting gun control conversation 1 2

    • 1.3k views

    intellectual and unique conversation about the nra, gun control, etc. probably a little too long for some here, but i am always interested in open conversations about "controversial" topics that don't include name calling, confirmation bias, and the whole my team versus yours stance. worth a listen if this is a big issue for you. i'm indifferent and don't really care about guns, but found this interesting for someone that isn't that informed with the topic and also i don't know the solution or answer to the topic. warning: the guest is younger, black, pro-gun, a lawyer, and a nra member.........might ruffle some feathers here.

    Eugenio Scalfari reported the pontiff had denied the existence of hell; Vatican cautioned the article was not a transcript March 30, 2018 3:58 p.m. ET ROME—For Pope Francis, the untraditional has become routine. Still, the news Thursday morning was startling: Italian journalist Eugenio Scalfari, a friend and frequent interviewer of the pope, reported that the pontiff had denied the existence of hell. Sinners who die without achieving eternal salvation “are not punished,” the pope said, according to an article by Mr. Scalfari in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. “There is no hell; there is the disappearance of sinf…

    Ricardo Rene Sanders was sentenced to death in 1982. Thirty-six years ago. He's still having his appeals heard. The latest one was rejected last October. There's something terribly wrong here. He gunned down four people who were herded into a walk-in freezer at a Bob's Big Boy restaurant in Los Angeles in 1980. Several others were seriously wounded. How many more years/decades will it take before justice is done? http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bobsbigboy-killer-court-20171013-story.html

    Let's exempt Trump, since he has his own thread. We'll start with a "strange but true" fact. John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States, was born in 1790. Yet two of his grandchildren are still alive today, 228 years later. How can that be? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-two-of-president-john-tylers-grandsons-are-still-alive/

    Looks like Jerod's no good very bad week isn't getting much better. At this point he probably deserves his own thread...and "death pool" (and by death pool I'm not referring to a "Clinton style", but rather a "spend more time with the family" So, in addition to having his interim clearance downgraded, it being reported he's considered the gullible mark by foreign governments, as well as reports he has been violating security protocol and meeting with foreign leaders without notifying the appropriate agencies...looks like the Kush has decided to use the white house to help out his struggling family business. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/28/business/jared-kushn…
