Believe in that religion of "love".
Yeah. Right.
Oh that big picture, that goes for any religion. Nothing to do with love

This is insane. And the craziest is that there are still people who believe in that shit.
It is insane but not surprising, what do you mean by believe in that shit? believe that it actually happens or that a merciful approach is best??

Discussing the points people raise with rational argument is different than supporting or being an apologist for them. I do not believe censorship is the answer and in a forum context it descends into like minded opinions backing up an isolated view of the world. Basically surrounding yourself with yes men who agree with you.

remember remember and never forget
the moment when Hilary Clinton stepped her foot in the office of the Egyptian army & begged them to make the Muslim Brotherhood rule the country!
While the liberal protesters were being slaughtered in the streets
you all need to take a look at ISIS unhuman and cruel crimes they were eating ppl alive. Hilary/Obama funding terrorists to get rid of the legitimate Syrian army and dying for this to happen.
It would serve you well to broaden your history knowledge, Obama and Hilary have only carried on the same foreign policy stance the US has taken for decades. Good or bad they are not evil masterminds of a new policy, just custodians of a bad and corrupted policy driven by power and money. No one person, president or not can change that in one term, international politics is complex.
The 60 mins interview was very well managed, the real stinger being Trump claiming to be unaware of the cases of racism and bigotry perpetuated in his name. Hard to tell if its another blatant lie or real case of Trump in is ivory tower.
My hope is people who voted for him realize sooner rather than later they have been played and the rich businessman is not going to help them one bit, he is part of the capitalist machine that will argue making corporations richer will trickle down.
The sad part is these decent people who just want change have compromised their values and rationalized the negative aspects of the Trump campaign. The man has zero EQ and will not be part of the revolution.

I appreciate Hilary. Madonna fans should be able to recognize the sexism in the way she has been treated. The complexity of everyone's lives involves contradictions and compromises. International politics would compound that so breaking down any good Hilary has done just because she dealt with Saudi Arabia is too simplistic, they are rich and get away with a lot while dealing with every country. It will be nothing compared to what Trump and crew will now compromise for money and power. Hilary, like everyone has a right to not agree with Gay marriage, but she is supportive of diversity and not other extremes which the Trump camp is associated with. I also completely respect how Trump conned people across the board with statements that had no substance at all, all minorities are going to suffer in his and the rights world view that the strongest survive and deserve all the spoils of victory...no matter how they play the game.
The lies and hysteria that fed off Republican political rhetoric about Hilary (which even Trump is now wanting to drop quickly because he knows there was no substance) has many parallels to what people can believe about Madonna,,,she is a fake, that its not her real name, never written a song, uses her charity for evil, is a satanic worshiping whore etc etc. These things would never get raised about men, especially male politicians...the language and rules of engagement are different and despite how much of a typical politician Hilary is its unfair to hold her to different standards that every other politician.

I am surprised to see so little American anger directed toward the FBI, seems more people concerned about Facebook news feeds than an independent government agency deliberately interfering in an election result
-
Have to be willing to look past the election banter and see if Trumps language was reflective of his real values or just an anything to win approach. Hopefully he can control the more radical elements and correct the lies exploited to gain power, both sides presented an extreme view of each candidate that was mainly fictional, including demonizing Hilary. It’s a great time to evaluate your media news sources. Gotta love democracy but its not fool proof and America seems to have a lot of people who actually think Trump will do something for the poor or working class, time will tell how foolish that was but he is not a demon, just a potential dictator.
That was way out of line for Rosie, she deserves what she gets for that.

So sad, every police officer should have to watch that video of Alton's son. Its such a pity the Dallas protest ended like that, changes the focus entirely and will allow these racists and privileged white people (the subliminally racist) to justify police actions.
-
Fingers crossed for Bernie, l just returned from US and that guy has some serious common sense and progressive policies. That may or may not serve him positively in the current environment but l have faith most of America is common sense or can be persuaded that way...its getting them to vote that's his challenge.
-
I am glad he is a fan again...he was trashing her any chance he got at one stage. Glad he picked up the skepticism thread, its very common that people are not believing it will happen, and because its been so long and she is female people have no idea what kind of spectacular they will miss out on. Hope this helps get us a 3rd show.

It is one of the best, actually the one that started it all for me back when. I think l was 14 or so and never took to the virgin era but then l saw this on morning TV. Madonna's power of communication in voice and those eyes. My mind was blown and l haven't looked back since. I was so late to school watching on repeat.
My 16 year old sister had fallen pregnant at the time so l had a bit of a connection, l was angry that my family were playing the have to get married card when clearly my sister was not ready for that let alone a baby, l wanted her to stand up and be strong but l also knew she just needed to be hugged by her father like at the end of the video. Madonna gave me comfort and a voice that my thinking and feelings were right and all that judgment and tradition was a load of crap we had to change.
-
They are always hideous now, they forgot Madonna has a body a long time ago and only have unflattering head shots.
-
The joys a being a Madonna fan, so spoilt for choice with so many different songs for different moods we compete internally. Listening to AL should tell you exactly why they are not better or worse, just different songs from a different life.
-
I hope she brings the family to Australia and enjoys herself instead of making it grueling. I would love an extra show for Melbourne but the time factor combined with pricing has not ignited the market here for sales. Some publicity may help or an interview not aimed at housewives who are the main segment she challenges by not growing old gracefully (any morning TV or Richard Wilkins market:) ). The project would be a great choice. I have not seen any notable media on the tour in Australia to highlight the set list, reviews etc but that may still come.

How is Thai flag as part of costume offensive? Is this different from any country where some people will always consider it offensive or is there a deeper reason in Thailand?
-
You read my mind Nikki. Maybe she will make them edgier live but they will still be fun l am sure
-
Great set list, hopefully she will get sick of holy water and s.e.x. (if they really are in) before Australia and replace them with good songs but overall pretty exciting. Bitch can sing whatever she wants.
-
We are blessed that we chose the best, she is one amazing superstar. The amount of people who are coming to me to help them get tickets in Melbourne is amazing....lots l would have never guessed, for some reason l think a lot of people hide their Madonna love.
-
The hacker hacked but Madonna chose to react. She should have ignored it but wanted to put out the real product.
I think this album is so so good and diverse they can and should just keep releasing singles and live performances throughout the tour period. What can you lose.
-
That's awesome, much more than l expected and happy she gets for stats purposes. I would love to see another video for the song that incorporated all her controversies over the years with the different groups basically saying who do you think you are...from church to feminists, she has withstood so much. This would give the song a real narrative and explain the thinking behind it.....as well as educate some with a history lesson.
-
Underwhelming for me, she needs new collaborators for video. I've been feeling bloated for a long time now. What foods have high fiber?
-
Its a little concerning to know some people think journalists still do any research, its quite plausible that they just lifted it directly from here given the crap they print daily.
And linking the tour announcement to the BIM release is 1) giving people in charge an awful lot of credit for being way more organized than they are and 2) giving the BIM release way more hype that it is ever going to get from the media or radio. Outside of an interview with Molly or the Project nothing is going to get much widespread attention, the tour announcement would get some media coverage on its own.
-
That would be awesome but someone would tell her its not commercially realistic to have Mr Bray remix these days ....its pretty clear from interviews this era that Madonna is not as in charge as her output as we would like to think she is.
You can dance was many years of my life, Spotlight is cheesy but just makes me smile so big its worth it!
-
Announcement dates are easily changed, does not mean the other information is not accurate or on track. Nothing to do with BIM though. I will be patiently hopeful.

I really think the tax returns and conflict of interest issues are the best means of revealing both the Russian connections and Trumps fake credentials.....if only the media could focus and not be so easily distracted by every little twit he makes
