It's a good thing nobody turns on their smart phone and records the conversations when I go out fishing with my friends. We would all be canceled tomorrow. What most of us really like about Trump is that when the Dems call him the most vile names that can be applied to any human being he doesn't jus...

I think Biden is playing it pretty smart by staying out of sight and keeping his name out of the news as much as possible. Also wearing a mask whenever he does go out in public. In other words he's being the perfect antidote to what people don't like about Trump right now. Whether that's a winning s...

Does Corona really like the hot temps or does it like people staying inside in circulating air environments? Not sure, but the hot weather doesn't seem to be acting as much of a deterrent right now. Interesting response from Bing search when I tried to get an answer to this question.... https://thu...

I'd be more worried about who is going to pay the $150 million dollar price tag for "diversity and inclusion" than buggy software. I doubt that it will be passed on to shareholders of which I bet almost every one on this forum is one in some form or another (yourself possibly excluded). I...

Back to the original topic... I saw this posted by an acquaintance on social media: "Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like coffee". Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS persona...

But as a shareholder myself it's probably not an irrational thing to do - if you can avoid the "racist" label or even having your company attacked and office buildings burned down by rioters. That's a bad strategy because as we are now seeing, the mob is never satisfied. All depends on wh...

Here in the AZ desert we have been 100 degrees plus for two months now, with most weeks recently closer to 110. And we have the worst cases per million pop in the country right now. Corona likes the hot temps it seems. Does Corona really like the hot temps or does it like people staying inside in c...

Here in Pinellas County, Florida we now have a mandatory mask ordinance in public places after the so-called "surge" in new cases once the lock-downs were lifted. Looking at the charts there truly has been a significant increase in new cases but it coincides not only with the end of the lo...

Interesting how the OP's original thread about polarization in the forum devolved into a heated discussion about face masks. IMO, if Gov Cuomo can say that rioting and destroying statues is a "healthy expression" then surely there is nothing wrong with members of the forum expressing their...

I watched that guy last night and I'm waiting for someone to challenge whether the race riots of the 60's were beneficial to the prosperity of African Americans. He seemed to be asserting that they were. I tend to doubt it but he could be right. I also thought he had a good point about the hypocrisy...

Oregon county issues face mask order that exempts non-white people The rationale seems to have something to do with racial profiling so I have to ask, how does wearing a mask prevent racial profiling? Seems to me if blacks don't wear masks and whites do that makes it even easier to racially profile...

https://www.bitchute.com/video/ofK6sjtg6gDv/ I only need one word to explain why I will be voting for Trump - it's "Biden". Same thing last election, only the word was "Clinton". If any further words are needed this time around I can offer "Pelosi, AOC and the squad, Schiff...

Please name the reputable media you are referring to. If you find a media outlet stretching the truth, or outright lying, purposely, or accidentally, are you saying that's it, they are blacklisted from ever being able to be believed again? Pretty sure that would include every single outlet that exi...

(Update: In my initial post I had capitalized the word "Caucasions" but not "Blacks". Not that anyone here would have noticed but you never know who is scanning the web in search of evidence of racism nowadays.) Seems to me that "white" and "black" are parall...

My psychological diagnosis of Donald Trump, based on my successful career as a computer programmer, is that he suffers from an inferiority complex.

Reminds me of the "Man in the High Castle" about a parallel universe where the Axis powers won the war and Germany controlled the eastern states with Japan the western ones and a non-man's land in between. Something cataclysmic like that seems like a more plausible scenario than any volun...

Yes Cortopassi, when Trump speaks off the cuff he just makes it all up and gets into trouble with that. That is a legit observation. It's that 20% of the time that the media's interpretation of a Trump sound bite is correct. It's the other 80%, in which the narrative is a complete fiction, that bot...

Meanwhile back to the rioting....

While everyone is paying attention to the presidential election what I'm wondering is if local voters are going to go to the polls and vote to take their cities back from the thugs who are tearing them down.

I also don't think you can fully appreciate what it's like to grow up in a country that enslaved your people for 400 years, and then discrimated against your people through the law for another 100 years. A country whose monuments and history books are full of positive stories about people that prob...

Bad news on the damage from riots - here's a rather informative article from across the pond: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/06/06/us-riots-set-scar-economy-years-come/ TL/DR: past riots damaged primarily the minority neighborhoods most involved in the rioting, and the damage was long-la...

Marx and Lenin were pacifistic figures whose ideas and actions never hurt a flea. Why should anyone care what happens to their statues? Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. Their ideas never hurt a flea? Tearing down those statues would be a repudiation of communism and all the evil it has c...

Now the SEC (of all things!) is demanding that Mississippi change its flag or else they won't be able to host big tournaments or some such. It may well be that nobody at the SEC office is well-versed in vexillology, because although only Mississippi directly bears the Confederate battle emblem anym...
