- "my side good....your side bad"

Admittedly, that's been a much easier argument to make since one Party has an evil POS in DJT as their Leader.

Amen!

Gators who get fed once or twice tend to get teed off if the next person doesn't feed them, and they can get very aggressive.

I've been known to yell at such people who stand in front of a sign saying, "DON'T FEED THE GATORS" while they are feeding the gators so they can get pics or vids.

"FWC is continuing its investigation into the encounter, and the woman in the video potentially faces charges.

The incident comes as multiple people have been harmed, and one person was killed in alligator attacks in Florida this summer.

In two separate attacks in Marion County, a 19-year-old snorkeler was bitten in Rainbow River, and an 11-year-old boy lost his hand to a gator at Nelson's Fish Camp."

The Springs have some history:

"In the 1930s, Hollywood discovered Silver Springs and over the years, scenes from at least 20 movies were filmed here, including Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean, Distant Drums starring Gary Cooper, the James Bond movie Moonraker, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and six Tarzan flicks.

Episodes of television shows such as Sea Hunt, were filmed at Silver Springs as well. In fact, legend has it that Sea Hunt star Lloyd Bridges learned to SCUBA dive at Silver Springs!"

"In Florida, it's illegal to feed, entice, touch, or capture alligators, except for licensed trappers and permitted hunters.

Wildlife photographer and Silver River kayak tour guide Josh Swander said viral moments like this one can have deadly consequences for alligators.

"Really sad, because it's like the alligators just kind of live in their life, doing their thing, and then people start kind of messing with them. And then they get killed because of people just wanting a TikTok video," Swander said."

??

"The video has reached audiences well outside Florida. Visitors from the United Kingdom told TV20 they saw the video before their trip and made sure to add wild alligator sightings to their itinerary.

"We came over for the football, and we're just heading up to Atlanta, so we thought we'd stop a few days on the way. Yeah, we just didn't really know what to do. So we just had a little look around, and that's what he said we should do. And these guys love alligators," said Bradley Hutchinson, a Silver Springs visitor."

"The statement continued:

"ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon. The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries.

The office of the Maine US senator Angus King said the DHS informed him Guerrero was not the subject of the warrant mentioned in the department's statement."

"Obviously he's paying these sex abuse and defamatiom damages because he's INNOCENT!"

What does 'most' mean... 51 percent?

A couple of years ago I drove across the South in the middle of the states driving back roads on my way to TX... and then to the Great Lakes and back down the Eastern seaboard.

There were lots of really nice old town squares and historic sites, beautiful woodlands and hills across GA, AL, Mississippi, and then there was Louisiana.

Besides being flat and plain, old and worn out, the people there were like slave labor zombies; all hope lost. It was very sad to see.

I remember not being able to see the point of the hood on my '76 Alpha Romeo Spyder driving in the fog south of San Fran.

We loved going over to Half Moon Bay back in the day.

"to Beverly... Hills that is; swimming pools, movie stars!"

(sorry, but you made me picture Jed Clampett moving in that old car!)

When I lived in the Silicon Valley in the early 80's I fell in love with CA's climate... I remember once complaining that it never really rained; it was such beautiful weather!

Unfortunately, CA was already becoming crowded, and there was a rash of serial killers. Austin wasn't a bad alternative back then, but it's hotter there now.

Here in Horse Country it's beautiful about half the year... not this half right now though; it sucks.

You have the right spot, Donner.

That's hilarious!

DJT's tiny hands are bloody from these and literally 100's of thousands of other deaths here and around the world.

You own this, Trumpers.

We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know
They can't see
Are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you

Yet another post sans any argument... of course, argument isn't your forte; that would be whining, bitching, and moaning about what other people post.

It's really all you do here.

Actually, he sounds like he's been reading BJ's posts....

Same stupid False Dichotomy that was demolished in #54.

"Most experts agree that the ideal approach requires a mix of both. Broad categories (lumping) are used to establish general principles, while detailed distinctions (splitting) are used to uncover specific mechanisms."

Which is what most normal people who aren't attention trolls, who's posts are predominately Logical Fallacies like Whataboutisms and False Dichotomies, do.

Your Engrish comprehension sucks.

Have another drink, Bev... cheers!

Just have the Doc check your liver, m'K?

All that word salad and not a bit of argument anywhere in it.

Are you and 1Nut having an affair? Does Mrs. Bev know?

Think of the children!!

The Trump Crime Family is what Trumpers voted for, and they are damn proud of it!

Well, Cult is, but the swing voters they hornswoggled are just waiting to get their chance at revenge votes.

1Nut obviously can't distinguish taxonomy from taxicabs... nor admit that his false dichotomy of posters here is all in his tiny little head.

There's no real division here on the Left between those of us who want all or nothing and those who are willing to address political policies individually.

You just made that crappola up for your attention trolling... a way to separate yourself from the rest of us, because you just KNOW you are better than everyone else here.

But you not recognizing your own false dichotomies is... well, it's hilarious, really.

The very old concept of lumping and splitting is, btw, often useful in data collection.

While a useful shorthand, the concept can feel ridiculous because it presents a false dichotomy.

Most experts agree that the ideal approach requires a mix of both. Broad categories (lumping) are used to establish general principles, while detailed distinctions (splitting) are used to uncover specific mechanisms.

Perhaps you should just keep focusing on your trolling skills, eh?
