I have serious reservations about this film, I am Latino but I dont think just because Pedro Pascal is in the lead, that it will sell to me – and that is how big scale business is burning tons of entertainment dollars big enough to burn a mountain without as much as lighting a candle for me

LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP – OR LACK THEREOF

Here is a very brief article published by one of our editors at another social media site on this subject

An incredibly vapid response from Europe as the entire continent stands idly by while a monster devours one of their own.

NATO or no NATO, based on the common history of Europe fighting two world wars, not a single nation inside Europe should be satisfied with just sanctions, all of Europe should mobilize towards Ukraine and face off the Red Army. Putin will not risk a nuclear armagaddeon if a conventional European front faces off against his conventional army.

He claims he is not there to occupy the Ukraine but he just lied hours earlier when he said he was sending troops to support the two “independent” territories on Russia’s borders. NOW ITS A FULL FLEDGED ATTACK ON ALL OF UKRAINE.

What is to stop him next from marching on to Finland, Poland, Estonia and Lithuania? Is Europe planning on just imposing sanctions and let his massive army take out his neighbors?

Is this how Europe wants to be seen in the eyes of the world????

Even if there wasn’t a NATO (before WWII) countries in Europe were bound by civilized conduct to ward off a bully and a war criminal, more so than ever today, in the 21st Century, Europe should be compelled to act proactively not posthumously.

How can the leaders of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Great Britain just stand idly by and watch any of this?   What kind of message are they sending to the rest of the world???

Apologies to members that may be confused by the multiple login systems we have at our sites.  The SOCIAL EXPRESS LOGIN (the set of social icon buttons below the blue login button) do the following when you press any of them:

Let’s say as Dana did, you use the Google button for speedy login, when you press that button it takes you to Google login where you validate your username and password to GOOGLE (not us) when Google is done verifying the authenticity of your account at Google, the system brings you back and asks you whether you already have an account with us and want to link it to your Google account or whether you are new and want to create a new account using your Google username and password.  If you click the latter option (presumably you are new to our websites), our system creates for you a new account, however GOOGLE does NOT share your password with our system, that remains stored in Google’s systems.  So now you have a new account with us , it has your Google username but it DOES NOT HAVE A PASSWORD stored in our system.  When you return later and  login using the Social Login button (Google in this example) it immediately logs you in because it retrieves the password from the Google system (WITHOUT SHARING IT OR STORING IT WITH OUR SYSTEM).

Now let’s say you try to login using our regular login (the blue Login button), our system recognizes your username but it does not have a password stored for you. When you use your Google account login our system will not and cannot recognize it.  Hence you get an error message.  You can remedy this issue by simply clicking the FORGOT PASSWORD link or PASSWORD RESET button.  Our system will send a password reset message to your mailbox and you can click the link in the message to assign your password of choice to your account in our system.  For convenience we recommend you use the same password that you use at your Google account.  Now our system has a password stored with your username for your account and you can login in with our standard login button.  But you could always speedily login using your social media button even without assigning your account with us a password.  Your social login access will always work, regardless of whether you want to login using our standard login button.  This is entirely optional and up to you!
