I see we've started talking about Game of Thrones and accents? Isn't it based on another world though? Also, even if it was based in late medieval England, what we spoke back then was almost a totally different language, let alone speaking with modern regional English accents.

Why do nearly all presidential candidates, whether they be Republican or Democrat, pledge fervent support for Israel? Or on the very rare occasions when a presidential candidate doesn't pledge unalloyed support for Israel they are obliged to give out a public statements criticising “Antisemitism”? Put another way, have any presidential candidates publicly criticised the Israeli Government? Is criticising Israeli Government policies akin to political heresy?

Do you believe that the Israeli Government via its massively funded lobby such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...airs_Committee has undue influence on US Government foreign policy in the Middle East?

Furthermore are you delighted that the US Government is going to continue to finance Israel to the tune of $3.8BN per year for at least the next 10 years?

Recently i heard that certain Christians believe that it's important to keep Israel Jewish in order for Jezus' second coming to come through properly. Therefor it's ok to hate jews but still need to have them be in israel.

As crazy as it sounds, that might have something to do with that?

Please tell me that most Americans don't believe that Donald Trumps' racist rants have nothing to do with the recent masacres that have taken place over the last few days. On the BBC news I have just heard a lady in EL Paso say that she wants to hear him say something to unify people. From what I have seen of him. he doesn't represent unity in any form, he seems determined to cause disharmony between the various races in America. Whats your motto Plubus et Unum? some one tell him it means' One from Many'.

I don't know how typical I am but I have despised the "man" since I became aware of him back in the 80s. I see him as more of a symptom than a cause but I also believe that his talk and actions amount to striking a match in a powder magazine. He will face no consequences because his appointee as attornet general literally believes that the president can do no wrong.

Can I get some tourist info please.

I shall be in Vancouver at the end of the Month and I have booked the AmTrack down to Seattle where I am staying down town, no hire car. I am planning to visit the Museum of Flight. Any other great ideas on what is good in Seattle. I am there three nights, I like technology, biology, wildlife. parks and gardens, local beers, cheap and tasty food, local sights. Thanks

I really don't have any thoughts about Trump one way or another, but despite some of his rhetoric about controlling immigration making sense, he does have a tendency to trip over his own words with a nasty regularity. I would call him a social bull in a china shop. I also know that "rich Biff" in Back to the Future II was based on Donald Trump, so he must've had a bad reputation with the US populous for a very long time.
