Barnie2years replies on Aug 31, 2021:
@St-Sinner we lost over 2,500 Americans and who knows how many allies during the 20 year morass. The fact that we only lost 13 in the close out is pretty amazing considering the number of people we were trying to evacuate in a secure fashion. Newspapers are hardly a window into history, otherwise Hitler never would have made it into office. There was never going to be a clean exist and all Trump did was legitimize the Taliban by having their leaders and best fighters released from prison. Perhaps another hundred dead Americans allies would have satisfied your blood lust?

He is an very interesting guy and like I said, though I don't agree with his conservative agenda, he is, like John McCain, someone I would be able to enjoy having a glass of wine and conversation with I believe.

Parents Have to Pay Son $30K After Getting Rid of His Porn Collection | PEOPLE.com
Paracosm comments on Aug 29, 2021:
His parents were wrong to destroy his belongings... but 12+ boxes of porn? The guy has issues.
Barnie2years replies on Aug 29, 2021:
Some have trouble throwing stuff away. I have collected Playboy, Penthouse magazines since 1970, other assorted men's magazines over the same period of time. I have first editions, foreign editions, limited editions of many brands. While I don't consider any of them porn as such, i'm sure others might label them as such and be quite willing to "dispose" of them. I'm guessing many if not the entire collection are worth something and hope my religiously oriented son tries to sell them when I'm gone rather than put them in a bonfire. But to me they represent history, fashion trends, lifestyles and in the case of Playboy, great literary works.
I can't speak for this kid, but maybe his collection was of similar material which his parents four objectionable and just classified as porn. As for the toys and stuff, as long as he didn't let them laying around in the family bathroom or living space, what harm are they?

Not sure how that relates? I feel quite safe where I live, even though murder rates even in small cities are going up dramatically. They tend to be localized in smaller areas. And I am more than prepared to defend my home should Trump’s desired civil war breaks out.

Massacres are not part of our more recent (like 20th century) history, except in states that are now predominantly Trumplican. So feel free to accept all those under your tent, I will choose where I spend my time and money as I wish.

@hankster I really don’t give a shit. If I boycott a beer because the owner of the brewery was a thieving rich Trump supporter, I seriously doubt it will make a difference in his lifestyle. I vote every election knowing my county has a Republican majority, but my township leans Democrat, so my vote does little to change the makeup of the State government. But it helps elect democrats to statewide office, thanks to major urban areas with large Democrat majorities. With your outlook, no one should have a belief that can’t somehow create a change. Well good luck with that!

You are correct, the invaders committed genocide on the native throughout the time they arrived until present. The black genocide started after the Civil War but carried on well into the Twentieth Century in areas across the South and mid west where freed slave had created their own prosperity and societies.

Or put pools in their back yards. Lancaster actually built a pool specifically for people of color on the east side of town, far enough out to make it inconvenient to get to. It's actually one of the few older public pools still around. Or they had to swim in the Conestoga River, which at the time before sewage treatment plants, was pretty toxic.

@silverotter11 I live in the close suburb of a medium size city in Pennsylvania. My home was built in 1953. There is a clause, hidden in the deed, that specifically says property in this neighborhood can not be sold to non whites. This was after the war, to prevent returning black service members from using the GI bill to buy good housing. Just to show discrimination was not limited to blacks, the largest country clubs didn’t allow Jews to join until well into the 1980’s. And blacks were banned from public swimming pools until the late 1960’s or ‘70.

If the Republicans hadn’t gutted tax laws and the IRS’ ability to investigate the complicated taxes of the wealthy, he would have paid more, just like all the other bazillionaires. Not to cheer him on, but there are a whole lot of people involved in his space program making a good living, so his hobby is providing support for a whole range of other companies and people. It’s how capitalism is supposed to work.

Kind of difficult when in Red States Democrats have very little representation in the state government. The ONLY thing that saves Pennsylvania from that fate is we often elect a Democratic Governor, which drives the Republican state legislature crazy! They are doing their best to tamper with our system of elections, but so far, Governor Wolf has vetoed anything they’ve thrown at him. Of course now they want to make it a ballot issue, which is time consuming and probably wouldn’t pass in a statewide referendum.

@barjoe that is one of the major problems with EVs. City dwellers who would benefit the most from electric vehicles (reduced pollution, savings on fuel). Are the least likely to get them due to not having access to charging. Few have off street parking. And those who do would have to worry about vandalism. A system of rental stations might be workable (like the bike stations), though they come with their own set of problems.
Infrastructure for charging is the biggest problem overall with electric. Hershey Park and several other public places I have been lately are starting to install pay chargers in their lots. But they are few and far between. And if you consider how many people run out of gas on a daily basis, the EV owner won’t be able to carry around an empty gallon container to take to the nearest gas station!

We already do this in many states, by removing Amish from education laws and extremely lax enforcements of child labor laws. So why not apply that to all religious beliefs, as long as they are not forcing non believers to do it?

Passengers have become the best weapon to subdue the crazies and flight decks have been reinforced making it much harder to commandeer the planes. And bad behavior in the air is just mimicking the horrible behavior on the ground. Plus, with everyone having a video camera in their pocket and news outlets happy to shell out cash for video, what would have been a short column in the newspaper is now headlines on every news program.

@barjoe if I understand the system, she has to be cognizant enough to understand the charges against her. So once she is institutionalized she can not be released until such time as she is deemed able to understand the charges and stand trial for the crime. My understanding anyway.
But I am with you on the death penalty. If you are killing people for no reason, you are insane because normal people don’t commit wanton murder. Psychology is an extremely inexact science to say the least, so getting someone to say you’re crazy is not that complicated if you can afford it. That should in no way make you eligible to get out of the crime you committed. If anything, it should be presented as a reason for the person to never get out! Look at the guy that killed the 8 people in San Jose this week. He had been arrested several times, his partner had filed charges against him for battery, he was a time bomb waiting for a match. Had he not shot himself (I love when they do that, if only they didn’t have to take innocent people with them!) he would also be found criminally insane and spent who knows how many years in some expensive institution. It is a f***ked up system.

@TimeOutForMe what we call the Middle East has been at war with itself and conquered by foreign countries since the beginning of time. Sadly, it will probably continue until the end of time. Eras of peace are generally short lived and just a time for rebuilding armies. It is not really a religious thing so much as a tribal thing. Africa, Asia and the Middle East were often under outside country control, from Romans to British, who arbitrarily drew borders which did not always reflect those tribes. This just made a bad situation worse. But that does not excuse the constant warfare, reoccurring genocides and hate that keep going from generation to generation.

I wonder how many are actually under death threats.
Lindsy was all done after Jan 6th until that threatening mob of MAGA spoke with him.
I bet he thinks if he speaks out against Trump Russian mobsters or Proud Boys or the KKK will send an assassin to kill his family.
It's kind of the only thing ...

I said from the very beginning of Trump’s political rise that he had a stash of very incriminating information on these guys like Graham. At this point he just ses his MAGA troops to intimidate anyone who tries to turn on him with actual threats of violence.

Fairly typical of immigrants taking advantage of their fellow immigrants. My guess is there are a great many churches and cathedrals that were built the same way. Just make them believe they are doing god’s work and they will never complain.
