My daughter asked Mike Hussey Sr about the dog crap- Hussey jr (adult white male) comes running out yelling at my daughter “I’ll fuc*ing slap that bitch”, my daughter said “excuse me- You wanna hit me!” (months ago Hussey jr was harassing my daughter AGAIN as she was walking home from school- police was called 106pct did nothing AS USUAL!).

Are Bollywood Movies More Westernized Now? by guest

From someone looking on the outside, Bollywood movies are beautiful with their bright colors, melodramatic plots and the infamous dance items with large amounts of people all simultaneously dancing, synchronized. Majority of Bollywood movies are based on guy meets girl, they fall in love and some disaster drama unfolds why they can’t be together and they try to battle it through out the 3 hour film.

I argue that it has always been heavily influenced by other cultures through out all eras of Bollywood movies. Check out some music videos from the 50s-70s and correlate it with American movies from... Read more »

They also attacked on matters of big government which Democrats seem to favor with huge government services. Read more »  Read More →
