“You know, there’s a lot of fun made of elderly people. It can hurt”

Just so.

It comes as a bit of a shock to realise one has become socially invisible. Not just from being old*** either.  It can also happen to divorced people. The invitations stop coming.

@unseen there’s a thread for everything, isn’t there!  I’ve been chuckling away rereading these posts. Thank fuck it’s over though.

“Isn’t it ironic that statistics of people killed by socialism (which comes in a wide variety of flavors) is often proffered by people who are ignorant of or are eager to forget how many people historical capitalism has killed. ”

I’m not convinced that Socialism, Capitalism or Socialism have killed anybody. Nor indeed has atheism. None o…[Read more]

Anyway, I don’t see any way past the social inertia problem. While statistics tell us that a lot of women want a career outside the home, it’s undeniable that a lot of women don’t. This may be because they were happily raised in a so-called “traditional” home or in one of the single-parent homes that actually worked well for them. But…

@Unseen,

Second, we are back to fact that companies pay employees by their value to the company, not their gender.

EXACTLY!!

@Unseen,

Very cool! Thank you for answering my question without some kind of sarcastic undertone. I have also been interested in reading up about Asian religions. I know very little to nothing about any of them except for bits and pieces here and there that I’ve heard throughout the years.…

@Unseen.

You position reminds me of a section in Gulliver’s Travels, in Lilliput I think. The Court philosopher is yelling at Gulliver to go away.  This because the philosopher has just proved a creature such as Gulliver cannot exist.

My point is that logic is a limited tool for arriving at a truth.  Generally speaking rules of inference begin w…[Read more]

@unseen what period is that? whats the best gun to have for self protection?

During the same time things were in turmoil in the US: the 1960’s. We had our share, too, such as the kidnapping and murder of Adolph Coors III.

@Unseen what period is that?

whats the best gun to have for self protection?

@unseen, I don’t understand your position.  Are you saying

• males and females are somehow not of equal worth as people?
• women don’t deserve equal rights?
• oppression of women is OK?

What is your fundamental position on women’s rights?

I feel like you’ve been distorting your reasoning, and tying yourself up in knots, trying to prove some a…[Read more]

@Unseen and Davis You both make some really valid points, but it’s really far deeper than that, and those summaries don’t even begin to scratch the surface…

For MANY reasons we are witnessing America destroy itself from within.

@Unseen SO funny no actually I didn’t realize you posted that. I read it in the news from another source 😂

OMG Facebook is crazy 😜 I have already seen so many Memes about Biden and Harris, it’s pretty sickening. Already a ton of misinformation and it continues to boggle my mind that so many people believe the stupidity. I have lost faith in all…[Read more]

@Unseen I agree but it won’t matter much if he doesn’t get elected. Did u see the article this morning of how he could lose the popular vote by 5 million plus and still win re-election??

@Unseen

Oh that’s mild compared to what’s coming… You just watch. It’s just the beginning of a long stream of attacks that’s going to keep coming and coming and coming and coming and coming and coming and coming and coming…

Get ready.

@Unseen

Have you considered that the reason his ratings are so low is that PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF HIS BULLSHIT? including his name-calling and attacks?

People who already thought he was a dumb ass are tired of his bullshit and a few people who voted for him have swayed the other direction… But there are several people that will still vote for him b…[Read more]
