Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders bans critical race theory in schools | Fox News

Just curious..... Are there any level 10 members on this site?

SnowyOwl comments on Jan 19, 2023:

This is my second incarnation on this site, my first one got lost when I was a 9 and I had to start over but getting to 10 would take a very long time, even combined I don't think I would be a 10. Probably just as well for if you fly too high then you might touch the sun. ;) lol I think there are at least 3.

They forgot the part about how introverts will walk past you like you don't exist if you betray them but only if you are lucky, if you are unlucky they will burn you to the ground and you will never be able to pin it on them. lol We're smart, we're patient and we don't just shrug off that kind of shit.

SnowyOwl comments on Feb 19, 2023:

Bringing your partner to climax is usually going to have more to do with dexterous fingers and an enthusiastic tongue, cocks are great for coming but vaginal orgasms are not reliable. While all of that is great fun, it's not the foundation for a great relationship that will last, friendship and mutual respect are what we should all be looking for in love.

Creepy as Fuck!

Montevideo, Uruguay. Security guide at a pharmacy.

SnowyOwl comments on Mar 1, 2023:

Montevideo is a lovely city and I don't remember seeing the usual guards with machine guns and assault shotguns in front of the banks the way you often see them in other parts of South America. I was there in 2010 and it had a very relaxed vibe compared to Rio de Janiero or Buenos Aires. The Mercado del Puerto is a cool place to grab some lunch in what I believe used to be the train station.

SnowyOwl comments on Mar 10, 2023:

I've watched Soylent Green several times over the years and I think that H G Robinson did a very good job, muh better than Heston who is a hack in my opinion. You have to follow the intro to the movie to realize that Climate Change combined with Over-population lead to the dystopian future scenario set in 2022. With conventional agriculture destroyed and the plankton farms failing, the political and corporate leaders decide to feed the populace crakers made of reprocessed human cadavers, starting at one day per week to make up for the shortfall from the plankton farms which the soylent crackers are made from the rest of the week. Everyday is a different colour of soylent green cracker but in the movie only the soylent green crackers are made of processed cadavers. America is a welfare state as there is very little work and the government is composed of oligarchs who are running out of ways to keep kicking the can down the road before the peasants revolt and eat them for dinner. I always thought it was quite prophetic and when I listen to the news from the USA I think my original opinion is still on the money, only the time frame is off a bit OR C Heston's Planet of the Apes is an alternative scenario.

I really hope that she is wrong.

It is rather ironic that growing up in a religious cult taught me independent thinking, it wasn't the plan but it worked out that way for me but not all of my siblings. My older brother fell on hard times and crawled back to the JW cult and eventually became an elder in their church.

SnowyOwl comments on Oct 31, 2022:

Money is a medium of exchange and it is worth only what you can purchase with it, paper scrip like your $10 bill is particularly vulnerable to becoming worthless as it has no more intrinsic value than the promise of value from the government backing that piece of paper. Let's say the Republicans decide to make good on their promise to freeze debt ceiling and crash the world's reserve currency by doing so, US dollars would potentially lose much of their value over night and people would be far less likely to stoop down to pick up that dirty sawbuck. The old myth about King Midas and his touch turning everything into gold, including his daughter is also a legendary example of how little money matters in the greater scheme of things.

SnowyOwl comments on Dec 7, 2022:

I live on an island in Canada, 500 pop in winter and 2000 in the summer months, it's pretty safe and the year round residents generally know each other, so we tend to watch out for each other. The downside is that everybody is watching everybody else all of the time and gossip is rampant but at least there's very little crime. There used to be a lot of social shunning if people didn't follow 'island rules' but that has largely gone by the wayside and it is mostly just pointless gossip with perhaps a grain of truth in the center. I have a property issue with a road allowance for the people who live a mile down the private lane that passes through my property, they have tried harrassment, vandalism and my personal favourite - Shunning. When one of the ringleaders told me that nobody who lives down the lane would talk to me anymore, I told him to keep up the good work and spread the message because I don't have anything to say to the likes of him, he left me with a stunned look on his face. lol

Sounds about right.

SnowyOwl comments on Jan 24, 2023:

I learned the basics of cooking by watching him every day for a couple of years when I was in my early teens. The shows were shot 3 or 4 at a time, back to back and since Graham was always having a little splash of wine as he prepared the meal, he was pretty much sloshed by the last show of the day was shot.

I was always told that health care in Canada was paid for but hard to get for lack of doctors.

SnowyOwl comments on Mar 29, 2023:

As a 9th generation Canadian who has lived in many countries and has experience with the different healthcare options available, I can truthfully say that the Canadian system does have some problems and those problems are exasperated by the US system undermining the Canadian healthcare system. Go into most ER's in the USA and you are quite likely to find yourself being attended by a Canadian doctor or nurse who has moved to the USA for the climate and the extra cash. That said, I have received excellent health care in several latin american countries at a fraction of the cost of American healthcare, definitely the most expensive healthcare in the world in my experience. The US system is not only a disgustingly immoral way of treating the sick, it pilfers from other countries to prop up its system of medicine for profit and big pharma billionaires. I have never met a Canadian who went bankrupt or lost their home to keep a family member alive in a hospital but I've met far to many Americans who lost everything and then had to pull the plug when they ran out of money to feed the US medical system, what a bunch of bloodsuckers. If anything tells you that US politicians don't give a shit about their constituents, it's how they take money from Big Pharma and HMO's while turning away while Americans die because they can't afford medicine that is considered a fundamental human right in the rest of the civilized world.

SnowyOwl comments on Sep 11, 2021:

I voted yesterday, voted Liberal for the first time in my life. It's not that I am a fan of Trudeau but I do see that this pandemic will likely get much worse before it gets much better and of the choices, Liberal is the best of an incompetent lot. Conservatives will doom so many to an early grave if left to run with the ball and the NDP won't win, in either case we need a majority government that is able to make tough decisions that are on the horizon. I like a minority government for the most part, it allows good policies to be put into place over a lengthy period of time as the minority players jockey for position but this is not the time for slow decisions but rather it requires the ability to be decisive and I think that is why Trudeau called this election. Either give his government the ability to take the necessary steps or let the Conservatives have a chance and watch the body count rise on their watch.

Vote here, eh.

SnowyOwl comments on Dec 11, 2021:

A couple of years ago we were at the tail end of a really nice neighbourhood party and chatting with our fellow islanders, when Joan mentioned her cows. My wife said she thought that baby cows (calves) are the cutest things in the world and could she have one? Joan is a farmer and she just looked aghast at my wife and then her husban Joe "NO, I'm not giving you one of my calves, they are my bread and butter!'. I just chuckled to myself because I know a bit about farming and I know that my wife knows nothing about farming, so that's the difference. What my wife meant was that she would look after one of Joan's calves (baby cows) like a pet for free, become emotionally attached to said baby cow and then I would be stuck shovelling the cow shit into the compost pile on our 4 acre residence. What Joan heard was that my wife wanted to get a calf for nothing and then slaughter it for the meat come the fall. I was so happy for Joan's sensible farmer response to my wife's query (alcohol may have been a factor as it was a good party) but now I find that Joan and Joe aren't maintaining their fences and because I have an ancient apple copse in or backyard, we get all the cow shit we need around our property as their cows wander in and out of our yard to feed on our apples and our freshly mown grass. What bugs the hell out of me is when they stomp all through my garden and I think I may have to set a snare to catch one of these critters, hang it from one of the apple trees to drain and give Joan and Joe their share after I butcher it up and keep all the good bits.

Is this true? Were you experimentally dangerous when young?

SnowyOwl comments on Jan 28, 2022:

I have always been fascinated by how things work and approached things scientifically, my experiments tend to be less dangerous but only because I now have more knowledge than I did as a child. We used to make black powder bombs with homemade black powder, first with lit fuses and later with electric detonators but later in life when I required explosives on a heavy construction job I would bring in professional powder monkeys to do the job with blast mats. Just as an example. It's not dangerous if you know what you are doing.

Hopefully we can all agree on this

SnowyOwl comments on Jan 29, 2022:

Looks like the February blahs arrived early this year and the fringe is out waving flags and putting each other in danger by deliberately not following safety protocols. They came through Kingston yesterday and it is a miracle that none of the people crowding the overpasses weren't injured. I expect we will see a big spike in Omicron Cases next week from this super spreader event. The part that really annoys me is that a lot of Canadian Armed Forces veterans are involved in this foolish and reckless behavior and they should know better. The serving members of the forces have been exemplary in following protocols because as one young officer told me 'If things get really bad and we are called in to protect public safety then we have to set the right example in the first place.'

Aqualung my friend, don't you slide away uneasy.

The government creates laws and regulations to protect us from what it would do to us without laws ...

It's clear that Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan and Rand Paul have not died from drinking tainted alcohol, yet. There was a time before health and safety regulations were drafted and enforced when it was not that uncommon to hear of people becoming ill, going blind or even dying from drinking tainted alcohol. The wood alcohol that is toxic comes off of the first segment of distillation and moonshiners would often try and make the cut as close to that first segment before the drinkable alcohol would be distilled. A little of that wood alcohol will give you a bad hangover and some liver damage, hence the term rot gut whisky but too much and you are going to suffer permanent damage. The people who were behind poisoning alcohol to enforce prohibition were largely linked to the Temperance movement which had its stronghold in conservative religious groups who were dead set against alcohol, not social progressives.

Not everyone could afford a sword, they had to make do…

When you tell the condemned person to grab that shovel and start digging their own grave, well you just gave them a weapon.

We're all fucked but some of us are more fucked than others, so the muses are correct, depending upon which ears they are whispering into, ;)

It is human nature to follow the path of least resistance, the easiest path.

I have found that in this life, most people would prefer to follow the other lemmings for a sense of belonging and gleefully run off a cliff. (yes, I know, Disney) As for me, I prefer the road less traveled, the people you meet along the way are much more interesting and it's not as if any of us are getting out of this life, alive.
