Thought of the day .

[highup]

Why is It easy to blame, criticize, get pissed and reciprocate bad behavior, but hard to
love ? Maybe because we and Ozy are focusing on who and what’s to blame rather than taking responsibility to love. He continues to say, in his song ‘ Crazy Train ‘ “ hoping it’s not to late to learn how to love and forget how to hate “

Could it be the solution is in the question? Stop blaming ! ! .... are you insane Mike ? Don’t answering ..... What will we loose if we stop blaming ? .... we will loose resentment and open extra space and time for comparison. For A SAFE class or safer way of interacting with opposition .

I’ll give it a rest, but did any of all that compute at all ?

... I think Ozy is going on tour , maybe I’ll step out of my Little River Band comfort zone

Say something nice about Nancy Pelosi.
She tore up Trump's State of the union speach on live TV.
She and he partners in crime spent 4 years trying every scenario in their playbook to oust President Trump.
They/she did this out of pure hatred and the accusations were lies. She/they continue this 2 years after Biden's been in the Whitehouse.
When this fails, you know they won't stop digging like wolverines, desperate to find something, anything.
Forgiveness and kindness is not going to happen. It will only empower them. The Democrat leaders have become unforgivable by their own actions. No way am I forgiving evil people.

 

[Floorist]

I won't even mention all the illegal stuff she did, say something nice about Hillary.

Sorry high, we don’t forgive others for the others, we forgive them for ourselves. But we never want to forget.

 

[highup]

Forgiving people maybe good for some people's inner inner soul, but I rest quite easy not forgiving some people, so the process or mindset for forgiving wouldn't cure an inner struggle that I don't have.
I understand the concept but.....

Hillary would look great in an orange jumpsuit

 

[havasu]

She'd look better buried 6 feet under.

 

[Floorist]

Did you know that talking to yourself actually makes you more intelligent? I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what I just told me

 

[C.J.]

How about bringing back the guillotine. Dueling and the guillotine.

 

[Floorist]

Have politicians duel and the winner gets the guillotine.

 

[C.J.]

If you think about it you’ll realize that dueling is the solution to society’s problems. Yosemite Sam will be the mascot.

If you know that you can be challenged to a duel for insulting somebody, you will do two things differently. You’ll be more tolerant of others opinions and you’ll keep your opinions a little more to yourself. If you perpetually go around offending people, eventually you will get shot. Won’t take long to weed through the trouble makers and have a more civilized society again.

What about the stockade. We need to have a couple of them in the middle of town square. No such thing as probation and an ankle bracelet, you’re gettin a week in the chokie.

 

[havasu]

No more pokey, just chokie.
I like it !

Most people arguing sanely aren't the problem. Not having respect is what's ruining our country.

 

[highup]

I'd blame the NEED for us to to be critical is the press. If they reported the news fairly, we wouldn't be having these discussions in the first place.
95% of the news under Trump was critical of him. Tell me that 4 years of unjustified anti Trump reporting, then include a year of hiding or dismissing Biden's blunders and weaknesses....... well, tell me that didn't determine the election result.
The media elected Biden.
Basically, conservatives and Trump supporters were bashed and silenced.... Every top member of the Democrat party bashed trump and took him to trial/impeachment because of a 100% false Russian collusion accusation paid for by Hillarys campaign.
.....and with all this, were supposed to be kind, polite, and civil to Brandon and company...... expecting them to return the goodwill jesture? That just ain't gonna happen. The need a HUGE ass kickin' in November.... with no verbal holds barred. They started this war. There no politeness requires because it won't be reciprocated. It will just show submission.
That said, us civil people here on the forum and everywhere else can discuss issues with level heads.... we aren't at war with each other.
The problems are extremely biased the media and the people elected to hold power over us. They need to be yelled and screamed at.

It’s almost like it has its own filter and the sane people don’t get shot. The ones that do get shot, well they’re gone. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

......and Rusty, I just agreed with myself because I'm intelligent according to your comment above.

Just to be fair, Regan is the one who allowed the media to become one sided.

 

[highup]

....because he didn't fight back?
Was just paying attention to poly ticks about that time.

 

[Floorist]

Just to be fair, Regan is the one who allowed the media to become one sided.

He also pushed through the first gun control laws, the start of California's unconstitutional laws.

 

[C.J.]

Glad I don’t live in California.

So I was gettin a scoop of ice cream the other day and there was a mother and her kids having a discussion about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. My thought of the day is if you put ketchup on your hotdog then you’re not qualified to answer whether pineapple is acceptable on pizza.
