Trump's Approval Numbers Are Way Up.

Sticks48 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

That is the only poll including Fox polling showing trump getting anywhere close to 50% ever while in office. You have to wait until the thing is over. Nixon was way more popular than trump when his impeachment started.This poll means very little at this time. He is guilty and the Congress has to do its job.

Why do men cheat and always think they can get away with it??

Sticks48 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

Why do conservatives refuse to acknowledge Trumps Crimes?

What’s the difference between Nixon and Trump?

Sticks48 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

Nixon was very intelligent and trump is not. Nixon did do some good things like opening a dialouge with China, an anti ballistic missile system, detente with the USSR, eliminated the draft, founded the EPA, and ended the Vietnam War, though he could have done that one in his first four years. trump passed tax cuts and has pissed off most of our allies. Nixon deserved to be impeached and so does trump.

"What about black-on-black violence?"

Sticks48 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

Institutional and societal racism. I remember even in the sixties separate water fountains and bathrooms. In nineteen seventy one I was in a BBQ joint in Elgin, TX where black folks had to sit at a bar facing a wall to eat there. That isn't that long ago. You treat people like third class citizens and much worse for centuries, depriving them of both education and opportunity, you can't expect them to turn this around in a couple of decades. Even now, look at the racism that has reared its ugly head with the election of trump. I thought we had come much farther than we have. Very sad and very disappointing.

If you look back in history there have been plenty of cultures where the men dressed in bright shiny outfits and wigs. Of course they were the wealthy not the common man. In this country everyone toned down. They were pretty much living in a wilderness. Maybe religion had some influence on more conservative fashion. But boy in the 20th Century you ladies came busting out to the delight of us mens. And all of that could just be bullshit! :)

What Jeni said, and what I have said before. God and religion play such a pervasive role in our daily lives in this country from laws to politics and more, how can you not talk about it? You get new folks on here all of the time who want to talk about it and some who need to talk about it. You don't have to get in on those discussions. I am sure there are other discussions you don't get in on because you have no interest in the subject as we all do.

Why do men have fewer friendships than women? [huffpost.com]

Sticks48 comments on Nov 11, 2019:

I don't believe they do. Women have a lot of aquaintances, and seem to be more social. There are friends and there are FRIENDS. There is a difference. The women I know either like to hang around men (I'm not talking about sex) or women, and a few are comfortable hanging out with either gender. The ones who prefer hanging out with men have one or two close female friends and one or two close male friends. Then there are those women who prefer hanging around with women and seem to like running around in groups of women making it appear they are all close, but generally they also have one or two really close friends in that group. Men seldom run around doing things in large groups. You will see groups of women going on trips together. Men generally don't do that. There are some men and women who feel comfortable with friendships with either gender. I fall into that category. Women share their personal lives with more folks than men do. That doesn't mean these folks are your close friends.That has been my experience and observations. That may not be yours.

Thanks all for the wonderful discussion, folks....and good night.
