Should all DND databases be open to the police

YES
or
NO

 

[Winnipeg]

Are you talking about DNA databases? In which case, yes
Or, are you talking about D and D databases (Dungeons and dragons), in which case no


Do you think the US was distracted by the political outrage re Trump's call to the FIFA head guy? Did the weight of that decision bear too heavily on their shoulders leading to the loss?
Or did Belgium get so motivated because of the unfair decision that they played to the very mx of their ability?

Yes, affected US
Yes, affected Belgium
No effect at all on either team

 

[ilovepaydays]

The distraction probably negatively affected the U.S. I do think that the was probably always going to lose last night, anyway.
