Hey OberynKenobi, good question. Click on the community link up top and then you should see the "popular tags" as well as "trending tags." You can expand the list with the "more" button at the bottom of each list. Is that what you are looking for?

Right now they're displayed alphabetically. What about being able to view them by number of posts in a descending order? Would anyone else be interested in a toggle like that?

Great video. Doesn't it take a bit of arrogance to ask, "why haven't the advanced alien civilizations made themselves known to us?" Couldn't it be that we aren't worth the effort? Perhaps there are so many wonderful things to see in the universe that taking the time to consider humanity would be like visiting Niagara Falls and stopping to admire the restroom faucets. Could it be that we're just not that intriguing? We could be the Kansas of the universe, a solar system nobody wants to travel through.

Wait, so cereal made you "shorter?"

I have to say, your current breakfast sounds pretty awesome, I'd take that over corn flakes any day. Congrats on your health, sounds like a life changer.

It looks like you were paired with silenti_etc and from his comment I gather he is in New Zealand. It could be that his letter is taking longer than others because of location? Bummer.

Your pen pals a d-bag. You got the shaft.

Did some sleuthing ( I too have no cable ) but it looks like it is getting coverage on Fox. Can you imagine how upset the left would be if this were GWB? Let's see if there is outrage on the left?

My advice, don't over-think it. Even a post card to begin will do well to get the ball rolling. I didn't write much to begin with, but as we get to know one another I am confident I will have more to say.

Good luck and have fun!

Did you use a travel service? If so, can you pm me their contact info?

Margaret Thatcher, Ayatollah Khomeini, Deng Xiaoping, and Pope John Paul II, a group of individuals I wouldn't normally associate with one another. Should make for an interesting read.

I find Thatcher to be a pretty interesting example of how the GOP in the US picks odd people to proclaim as their ideal. She wasn't afraid to raise taxes when "needed," she wasn't anti-gay, she never got rid of socialized medicine, or attempted to. Perhaps the current GOP has more in common with the theocratic Khomeini. Just kidding cliffelam.

Easily one of my favorite cities I have visited.
