I just watched the movie 1917 and was struck by the fact that we have faced such evil in this world and worked together to erase it. But now we are facing an evil who is harder to define, but yet is working to destroy democracy, free-speech and free-thought and working to erase all the hard work and sacrifice those who came before us have done. We are just sitting around staring at our phones while our countries fall apart around us. We reap what we sow.I just watched the movie 1917 and was struck by the fact that we have faced such evil in this world and worked together to erase it.

This book should not be available to young children - under 15 as it is pornographic and encourages children to explore sexuality before they are able to understand the consequences of such behaviour. Awful that this is promoted to young children!

Great book! This book points out the "madness" that has overtaken the left of center groups in North America and most of Western society. Pitting one group against another and never being satisfied until all reason has left the building. Everyone should read this book to understand that all this hatred spewing about will not help anyone in the end but rather divide us further and hurt us all.Great book!

This book can get bogged down in theories. It does help point out that all of this Wokeness is a bit of madness that won't actually improve our society, but actually just drive wedges between us. It is also totally illogical to expect any logic in these theories such as the idea that being obese is great and not unhealthy at all?? Good read for those totally confused by all these woke ideas running about for supremacy in our country and most of the west.This book can get bogged down in theories.

I really like this series. The characters are good people just trying to figure out life and along the way solve some mysteries. Love Mma. Ramotswe - she is a great female character and a role-model for women.

This book is an excellent example of the inconvenient truth that those who deem themselves the "moral authority" don't want us to read. We are supposed to just accept what the woke activists want us to accept without actually thinking logically or asking that pesky question - why? If you care about our society you will think in a more holistic way - which is what this book asks us to do. Think about what we are doing to our children because all this gender confusion is not making them happier - in fact we currently have the most depressed generation of adolescents since WWII... Perhaps all these so-called choices are giving them anxiety for no reason except to please those fringe groups who seem so intent on cancelling everything that doesn't agree with their narrative.This book is an excellent example of the inconvenient truth that those who deem themselves the "moral authority" don't want us to read.

Absolutely loved this book!! Gloria shows the struggles of women and minorities to gain a foothold in the US in regards to equality and basic human rights. A must read for both women and men who care about the human experience. A book that also shows we still have much work to do all over the world in support of equality and promoting non-biased attitudes toward women and others who are discriminated against.Absolutely loved this book!!

Even though this graphic novel made me cry a couple of times, I absolutely loved it! So clear, and on the money when it comes to how it feels when you lose someone you love.

Bad movie. Not sure what they were thinking, but this movie is terrible. Bad script, bad plot, bad everything! Miss it - go back to the earlier ones with Drew Barrymore - much better.

I was pleasantly surprised and liked this movie. Very gory and violent, so not for the very young. But well acted and a good story overall.
