THE FOUR BIGGEST DREAMS OF MEN: 1.

Athena comments on May 7, 2020:

Funny, but hmm... sadly, from what I see there are more wives who are unsuspecting of their cheating husbands than those who just imagine their husbands are.

zeuser replies on May 8, 2020:

A lot of people are in self-denial and choose not to believe what is right in front of their faces. There are also a lot of people who are pathologically suspicious and see evidence of guilt everywhere in innocent circumstances. Both men and women.

zeuser replies on May 2, 2020:

The repubs have always needed a foreign adversary to use as an excuse to shovel money into the military. How else can you get away with buying 30,000 hammers for 320 bucks apiece? Used to be Russia, up until they bought the presidency and half the senate. The Chinese have all that American debt which would be worth a lot less if everybody decided the dollar was no longer the world's reserve currency, so that tempers their aggression. But what an easy target to hit without too much chance of military blowback, especially when combined with good old American bigotry.

It's not stupidity on the part of most republicans. It's a defensive posture to cover the fact they deliberately let the preparations slide, or at least their dimwitted leader did.

@JackPedigo The rich think they can buy their way to isolated safety. The apocalypse supporters think jebus will save them. The rest of the white trash contingent just want to stick it to the libtards. There is no thought process involved.

@AnonySchmoose Oh man. Williams was MADE for that show. Jonathan Winters appeared on the show regularly. They are both gone, very sadly. Even beyond the talent who might or might not make a reboot work, I think that the original show was made in a simpler and certainly a different time. Would that kind of humor appeal to millenials. or generation x'ers? I don't know. Baby boomers have also grown more jaded. Still I'd be down for them to try. Paul Lynde was a god in that forum, may he RIP.

Good thinking.

Good point. The ability to think critically is something you learn and nurture. It's clear a lot of people never had anyone teach them. Everyone is shallow in some areas, developing depth requires work, and work is unpopular
