Is illegal migration one of the biggest issues facing the Western World? - 1/5/2023 It seems to a very big problem in many countries. As I understand it, US President Trump is demanding billions of dollars to build an impregnable wall across the border with Mexico to stop people without documentation from entering the country. As this was an election promise, no doubt a large proportion of voters were in favor. I think his original declaration that Mexico would pay for it was ... 8 response(s), 6 votes |

Are you elderly? - 6/24/2019 Some months ago I read a news item in a newspaper which stated " An elderly woman, 52 was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident ........ ". I am much more than 20 years older than that and I still don't think of myself as "elderly". The dictionary defines "elderly" as being old. Just when do we become old?

Why do so many wives outlive their husbands? - 3/19/2019 Is it due to a number of factors such as men are more likely to take on more dangerous pursuits such as motor cycles and fast cars; or is it due to men being less likely to attend to their own health: or is it due to more men having highly stressed employment; or do men smoke and drink more alcohol; or is it just something in the male genetic make-up that results in a shorter life span? ... 8 response(s), 8 votes |

Roseanne Barr tweet.. - 6/26/2018 I have not watched her show but I understand that it was a top rated comedy TV show originally shown some years back and recently successfully resurrected with the original cast. Apparently a very nasty racist remark was made by Roseanne on her private Twitter account which was also political because it referred to a lady who was an adviser to the Obama's. Please correct me if I am wrong so ... 2 response(s), 1 vote |

Which features of SFF do you use? - 7/24/2016 Back in the days when I first joined SFF, I only went to the chat rooms, read profiles, and occasionally used the instant messenger when someone contacted me.

Traveling - what about pets? - 6/10/2016 I know people often take their dogs with them when they travel, and rest areas have places to walk them, and many hotels make accommodations for them.
