    A spectacular intelligent human being with a beautiful soul who delivered the only Oscar acceptance speech that had depth rather than an attempt at self- aggrandizement.

    I met her in Washington D.C., my Father was a liberator, amazing life's journey, she lived to tell. One of our Lord's miracles, oh what a wonder, those that go into harms way, to fight for freedom. There is no greater gift. She is so gracious, and when my eyes met hers, they said thank you to me for my Father's service. Beautiful souls.

    not sure I understand your reply but for sure when the music came on indicating "get off", they were just as much at fault. Her story stops you in your tracks.

    The Oscars Ceremonies gets quite frivolous most of the time. This type of occurrence sort of neutralizes the ongoing inanity.

    I like the way you capitalise JEWS JEWS JEWS. When You open your mouth, it is clear what a mistake it is for you to remove your head from your rectum. Please reinsert it, and leave it there until you have assumed room temperature.
