I never think about having an "age limit" in either direction.  For just sex I am open to all ages.  When looking for a boyfriend I want to be with someone within +-5 years just because I have more in common with them.

Where's the list?

Any action by the President that results in a 5 year old citizen being detained is a total failure.

It's hard to read anything into this since every poll was wrong for a year.

I'm really enjoying One Day at a Time.  Normal Lear is a producer.  He is in his 90's and still understands exactly what is going on in America.  The show deal with social issues like immigration and deportation, single parents, teenage sexuality, multi-generational families, and equal pay for women.  I love it.

If you just want sex use an app.  It's quicker and you can get exactly what you want…...and you don't have to buy anybody a drink.

lol.  I just saw a movie where the girl was getting cummed on by multiple guys.  Then she grabs a banana and started eating it and it was coming out of her mouth and all over her chin.  I don't understand straight people.  This wasn't a fetish video.  It was very mainstream with well known porn stars.

This is the first generation of out gay men who got to be over the age of 50.  30 years ago they all died from AIDS and nobody ever got old.

The boycotts are so stupid.  Now Trumptards are boycotting Nordstrom…..as if one of them has ever stepped foot inside a Nordstrom.  Do they even sell baseball caps?

It's not looking good….

I don't know how it can be done.  Donald Trump put on a baseball cap and suddenly this entire group of uneducated white people could no longer tell the difference between a reality show and real life.  They sill think they made a good decision.  It's only day 13 and he already has the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia pissed off at us.

The man just went on TV and told America to pray for The Celebrity Apprentice.  Nothing about this is normal. The two parties have too much power to allow a third one in.

The West Coast states and NY/New England should just join Canada and let the red states destroy themselves.  I will even put on a mounty hat and eat at Tim Hortons.

It's not fair to say women don't give a shit.  I think women (and men) are powerless to help women in other countries where women don't have rights.  Taking in refugees is one of the best things we can do.

I watched a very uncomfortable interview last night on Fox News.  They had on a woman from Somalia(?) who had her genital mutilated.  That wasn't really what the interview was about but you could see how uncomfortable the host was and she barely even asked her any questions.  She just let the woman talk and then they ran out of time.  It's a tough situation and people don't know how to behave.

I believe that no longer happens with ObamaCare.

Medicare does do something similar to what you are proposing.  This could work ObamaCare too although there are a number of privacy issues that I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't like.

Medicare Advantage plans (and I think Part D plans) are paid for by Medicare and sometimes the beneficiary also pays a premium to the plan.  The amount that Medicare pays the plan is based on the previous years claims data.  They mostly look at diagnosis codes so the plan is paid more for a person who has cancer or renal failure than a relatively healthy person.  The amount that beneficiary pays does not change based on this data.

37 convictions is quite a record.  I don't know what you do with people like that.

@raphjd:

Odd, liberals slagged off Texas and others for talking about seceding under Obama and now they are wanting to do it under Trump.

Fucking whiny hypocrites.

I don't remember liberals saying much.  I think most would wave goodbye and wish them well.  I would.  I hope my state joins California.  I think everybody would be happier.

@raphjd:

The known risks of smoking is factored into the costs of their health/life insurance.

Everything (except lifestyle choices by race) is factored in when calculating the cost of health/life insurance.

++++

The below is from 2009;

In every US state, blacks have the highest obesity rate.  The same with hypertension, heart disease and asthma.

Blacks have double the rate of T2 Diabetes compared to whites, and growing bigger each year.

79% of blacks have health insurance vs 88% for whites.

Despite this, blacks die from asthma at a rate of 500% that of whites.  Blacks are hospitalized for asthma at a rate of 250% that of whites.  Blacks visit the ER for asthma at a rate of 260% for asthma.

Blacks have the highest rate of infant deaths.

Blacks die at a higher rate than any other racial group from survivable cancers.  This is despite being 3rd in the most health coverage by race of 7 groups.

Smoking isn't factored into the cost at the individual level.  A smoker and a non-smoker pay the same price.

I couldn't agree more.  The way they handled this Muslim ban is a true testament to what a lousy business man Trump is.

The far-fetched idea of California seceding from the nation took a tiny step forward this week. California's secretary of state agreed to allow a group called Yes California to begin collecting signatures for a ballot measure, reports the Los Angeles Times. If 585,407 are collected by July 25 — a high hurdle for the relatively small group — a proposal will land on the 2018 ballot to erase lines in the state Constitution outlining California as "an inseparable part of the United States" and the US Constitution as the "supreme law of the land." If passed, it would set up a 2019 vote on whether California should become "a free, sovereign and independent country." Even if that passed, huge hurdles remain. Secession would require a constitutional amendment, with two-thirds support in both the US House and Senate and ratification by at least 38 states.

"It's basically impossible," notes a post at New York magazine. The idea of a "Calexit" has been in the works since 2014, but the Wall Street Journal notes that it got a boost after Donald Trump's election as a mostly jokey way to register opposition. Seems nuts? "I think we'd have the votes today," says a group co-founder, who argues that California gives the federal government more money than it receives and is "culturally" separate from the rest of the country. "America already hates California, and America votes on emotions." Adds a rep for the California National Party, which supports secession in the long-term but not the current effort, "It's certainly as likely as Donald Trump becoming president." (The movement already has a Moscow "embassy".)

It's unlikely this will happen but everything that has happened in the past year has been pretty far fetched.  I do have a feeling if this gets any traction other states may want to join in.

What's everyone watching on Amazon?  I need something new.
