@LucyLoohoo Hope I say something worth saying, or reading. I guess the reason I hate this current Stalin so much is that I have had far too many encounters in my life with his ilk. Although I have never met Trump- it is 'personal'.

The rest of us ought to take time today to remember our fallen and honor their sacrifice.

LucyLoohoo comments on May 27, 2019:

My father, Lt. Cmdr. Alvis Townsend, USN... died in a military plane crash. He was 32...I was far too young to remember him. Ask me what I think of the pustule and his pooooorrrrr lil' paws!

I had an EASY go in the air force- let's not put a crown on my head. My job was to take the detonators out of torpedoes so that armament systems could calibrate the sonar. If one had detonated, they would have been picking the 'used meat' off the inside of the remains of the containment compound. In...

Diogenes replies on May 28, 2019:

@zeuser I am NOOO hero. I guess my major point is that Trump just loves to lie- that is something he must do, every waking second of his worthless day.

I was just thinking, have any of you read George Orwell's, "Animal Farm?

LucyLoohoo comments on May 27, 2019:

I have a red hat, with the message "Make Orwell Fiction Again!" Unfortunately, many people don't ''get'' it. SIGH.

Diogenes replies on May 28, 2019:

YEEESSSS! Unbelievable that they don't get it! "Trumpism" is no longer fiction. In 1984 Smith's (hope I have that name right) job was to erase yesterday's 'fictitious' news, and to replace it with today's 'fictitious' news.

The Two Ronnies. - Mastermind. [youtu.be]

AnonySchmoose comments on May 26, 2019:

That requires memory, quickness, and a straight face to answer every question one question later. Was it promoted as both a game show and comedy? Were those guys mainly comedians?

Diogenes replies on May 26, 2019:

@Marionville The Two Ronnies are 'very' funny; been so long since I have seen them, but Mastermind was tedious beyond belief. For example if the topic was "Gin", and being hypothetical: "How much does the average gin bottle weigh?" Who knows; who cares?----- Monster, big thanks for putting on The Two Ronnies; gotta be the best Mastermind I have ever seen. LOL.

@aahouck49 Well I am certainly "strange"- don't know if it has anything to do with being Irish though. But then there is the concept of "being normal"- puleeze, god-dude deliver me from that!

@aahouck49 "What say me?" about the Irish. Strange, that you should know that I was Irish. I didn't even know I was of Irish decent for a third of my life. But it was the 'feel' of it that has grown as each year passes. My great-great grandfather was from Derry and great-great- grandmother from Cork. She died in 1909. They did very well for themselves. I have been to their house.

@aahouck49 Well wish I knew a bit about what to do on the internet, when the site times out- the message I had for you just went into the great unknown. I like to play with words too, but I did have to look that one up, and I read the meaning. I like to learn things. I know an insignificant amount about "Greek philosophers, or Diogenes"; again, I was being pretentious, and playing games. "Mr." Diogenes and I do have something in common though- to understate the point we have both lived in, uh, 'sub-standard housing'. No, I am not talking about some prison; that would be a step 'upward'.

genessa comments on May 24, 2019:

YES, I think you are right. I didn't have a pen and paper handy to write her name down and it was one of the few times I had seen her. Understand, very clearly, that I admire her very much- THAT is why I wrote my post. Carson, a true Trump sycophant, is screwing people that need housing; he doesn't give a fuck what colour they are.(Yes, and I sometimes use 'that' expletive) I feel that educated people, of any colour, like Obama too, should put aside their decorum and dignity, and attack the Trump clown. Trump is a moron- and is dangerous to the extreme; persons who do not challenge him may well find that they do not have their dignity- or lives either
