Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses

Moravian comments on May 8, 2019:

i saw an interview clip with his daughter when she was much younger. She said she was walking to Trump tower in NY with her father and there was a homeless beggar sitting on the pavement nearby. Trump said to her" That man is better off than me. He has $8 million more than I have".Meaning that he had debts of $8 million. She thought this was very amusing. what an appalling family

Could you stay isolated for five days in total isolation as an asocial experiment?

Moravian comments on May 8, 2019:

Depends what you mean by total isolation. I wouldn't fancy being locked in a cell for five days but to spend five days without seeing another person would be no big deal. for example living in a remote cabin with a few good books. There was a an early pop song with the words "people who need people are the luckiest people in the world". Absolute nonsense. People who are self contained and can live without human contact are the lucky ones.

We were spreading the ashes of my partners late father in a little ceremony at a beach in S.W. Scotland where he was evacuated to during WW2. We parked our car about 100m from the beach and as we walked to it a cat appeared from a nearby wood mewing loudly and accompanied us. It stayed with us during the short ceremony and back to the car park afterwards then just walked away and disappeared from view. If I believed in reincarnation there would be no doubt that the man had returned as a cat. Ironically during life he hated cats.

Muslims also circumcise and I find it ironic that followers of the Abrahamic religions believe that god made man in his image but didn't quite get it right so alterations are required. On the other side of the coin around 1.3 in 100,000 men in the UK develop penis cancer and require full or partial penis amputation. The cancer is usually due to poor hygiene in uncircumcised men.
