Enjoy yourselves.

I'm glad I'm nothing like you miserable people.

Corky,

You should count your lucky stars you aren't on here desperately trying to defend Kamala for her problems.

Corky,

Now we are done.

Find someone else.

Corky,

"You obviously could not care any less."

I'm old enough I've heard this sort of rhetoric over and over.

It's not my decision and not your decision what governments do.

I long since stopped tying my emotions to things I have no ability to do anything about.

There are horrible things happening all around the world.

Your virtue signaling has been noted.

Corky,

So how would you feel about Trump pulling ships and military assets out of NATO countries in Europe like is being suggested?

Does that mean he's "giving Europe to Russia" the same way you claim aid cuts are "giving Africa to China"?

Db,

Doesn't sound like you're really offended.

That's good. I like playful jabbing.

Some here are just mean, though.

Probably not very nice people to know.

Legal could have left it at, how about LOTR, for example. That would have been fine.

But he had to add f****** moron and f**.

That was not playful jabbing. That was just pure insults.

But the moderator allows that on this site, if it's aimed at people who aren't liberal.

Legal,

I'll help you out. Sorry it was too big a word for you.

Definition of "Some":

"Some" refers to an unspecified amount or number of something that is not clearly defined. It can be used in various contexts to indicate a part of a whole or an approximate quantity.

Usage in Sentences:

Indefinite Quantity: "Can I have some water?"
Approximate Number: "Some 80 people attended the event."
Part of a Group: "Some of the apples are bruised."

I said "some" writers.....that means not all.

Legal,

Did you notice the use of the word "some"?

Look it up in a dictionary if you've never seen it used before.

Just shooting in the dark...perhaps...

One of the reasons why the West was behind the learning curve is because the West has been conditioned via it's religions to be primarily associated with left brain activity, while the East has been conditioned by their religions to be primarily associated with right brain activity?

Cor,

Or how about the idea of religious prophets who have predicted the future or people claim to.

Did they?

A human mind functioning at maximum capacity may be capable of incredible feats.

There are reported cases of people being struck on the head and suddenly having skills they didn't have before.

Or how about mathematical savants?

They do complex math and spit out solutions without proofs or step-by-step explanations.

Db,

Actually, calling something fake news would be in another category altogether.

It's neither news nor "news."

I agree the phrase fake news gets thrown around far too casually anytime someone dislikes what they're hearing.

But some things really are false information disseminated through the media, whether intentionally or because the people spreading it never bothered to verify it first and it actually was false.

If someone puts a word in quotes, it might mean something.

Db,

"I have no earthly idea what you are talking about"

Based on your posts, I'm not surprised.

Ask around.

If none of your friends can tell you the difference between news and "news", you need to find more intelligent friends.

Db,

"which isn't news, BillJ"

Are you aware there is a difference between news and "news" when someone refers to it in a post?

That is an important distinction.

Personally, I have always suspected a lot of science fiction may be rooted in a grain of truth.

Some well-known sci-fi writers were highly intelligent, scientifically informed, aware of longstanding rumors, or closely connected to UFO circles.

From my observation, over the last several years, as more personal accounts, government research, and public discussion have emerged, many of the things now being presented as actual "facts" seem to mirror decades old sci-fi themes more than contradict them.

Easier to read:

Nordics: Bear the most similar resemblance to humans
Grays: Believed to be small, massive-eyed, hairless creatures and are the most common
Amphibian type: Lizard-like creatures with scales and a long tail, and often walk on two legs
Insectoids: Resemble a praying mantis and are bug-like beings. Rarely seen but appear as being "in charge"

Sounds like TV cartoon instead of being reported as "news".

Snoofy,

Corky posted a link about a potential Democrat candidate I thought was interesting.

Nothing you've said has been interesting though.

Snoofy,

"Name any topic on which people have "gotten through" to you"

Really?

You must think a lot of yourself to give me directions.

What if you don't listen to Trump's speeches or read a lot of commentary?

What if you mostly read news and listen to people you know who are educated and well read?

He's making some very simplistic assumptions about people.

Bring back the Redneck Liberal.

Snoofy,

You should read up about JFK and his accusations.

This is the only post I will make to you on this thread.

Cor,

"Women wistfully related interesting and humorous anecdotes about their amorous encounters"

What?

About being pressured to have sex?

If you weren't so eat up with TDS, you might step back and think about this line.

Seriously...TDS will be studied as its own disease.

So there is good and bad womanizing now?

Is that anything like "she wanted it"

Clown,

"Literally any discussion with pedophiles supporters is pointless."

Are you talking about children holding your pants up?

No. I use a belt.

Db,

"crazier than a fecalhouse rat"

At least I saw I needed help and got it.

Can't say the same for a lot of the characters I read on here who might benefit from doing the same.

Rein,

"Bathhouse Bill"

Anytime someone refers to my employment history of about six months working the front entrance at a bathhouse in a large city, I'm going to give some details.

Seems to me you have that on your mind.

I worked sometimes evening shift and sometimes morning.

Morning shift you'd find white bath towels all over and empty bottles of poppers.

And there were small rooms with doors people might have used for privacy you had to wipe down.

Dan,

"mail-in ballots"

In the words of Laura..."are we back to that again?"

Rein,

"Nice try"

Kennedy and Trump do some some things in common.

They were both big womanizers.
