Yeah, I don't blame them. Time to go to Israel or the U.S. like yesterday. Not that I think it's easy to leave everything you know, but the writing has been on the wall for awhile now.

I wonder if this will affect any politics in Israel.

Sounds like most of them are moving to the UK and Israel, but I guess some are moving to the US.

I'd read about how bad this was getting in Europe but I don't think it hit me until the last year or so.

It got worse with the Palestinian/Israel conflict that happened over the summer. Some people tend to blame all Jews for anything that happens with Israel, as if the average European Jew had any say in the matter (some of the richest people do, in a sense). I don't see it getting better any time soon, since it's just a matter of time before Hamas manages to build up more rockets for the next conflict. It's kind of depressing, but this is an age old battle and I don't see any political solution happening any time soon, but maybe some amazing leaders will emerge on one side or the other and their will be an answer. It's happened in other cases.

The "liberal" mainstream media continues to hound the White House for not sending a high level administration official to Paris for the march. GMAB. I think it would have been nice to see them there, but I don't understand the controversy. At all.

Grasping.

Every country sent their leader. Even if he didn't want to go, sometimes you gotta. How come Saudi Arabla and Russia can send someone but America can't? This has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative because even liberals like Jon Stewart are pointing this out. The adminstration f-ed up here, not Obama. They probably didn't even tell him it was happening and didn't realize everyone was going.

Has this been discussed yet? A "terror specialist" being interviewed on Fox News said that Birmingham, ENGLAND is almost all Muslim and non-Muslims don't even visit.

The thing I don't mind about Fox News is that is gives conservatives a platform to show their ass to the world. They're really becoming less and less credible by the second.

Hopefully if it's successful, Louisiana will follow suit and legalize both. It'll probably be second-to-last, beating only Mississippi unsure.png

    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to. 
    • Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.
    • Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.
    • I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.
    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.

    • What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?
    •     I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be.
