That said, they shouldn't get credit for being two faced and having people believe their opinions' crap are influencing people's beliefs. Thus, I refuse to read any fox news, even those articles that are most likely put together by a real journalist. Sadly, journalists need jobs too.

@Wisterious My ex-brother-in-law was a commercial pilot. He was nothing like the stereotype. Although, he did say such pilots existed at a higher than average rate from normal jobs.

While on a carrier, I talked with a number of pilots. Most were like any other sailor with officer rank. The only ones that were, at times, arrogant little pricks flew the top fighters (at the time F14's). The older guys would sit and tell stories. One Commamder was seeing the same girl as one of the guys with whom I worked. The Commander came in for post flight debrief once and we yelled to him that our mutual friend had gotten a disease. The pilot came running to us; at which time we said we were teasing. He stood and talked with us, enlisted, while the lower ranking officers who were to debrief him waited quietly - he was, after all, a full Commander, O5.

@Spinliesel reminded us of Waits birthday.

It's not. At all. He's a mass murderer. Same reason I think Mother Teresa is the worst mass murderer of all time.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Dec 7, 2020:

I hate muther teresa, the evil whore of the church. I give people just one same taste of the biatch: ignoring how she treated the dying people who went to her, just know that she posed with Baby Doc, the Haitan dictator, after he gave her 3 million from the poor Haitian funds so she would call him and his wife "good Catholics."

@Flowerwall Fine, he isn't crazy. He was a good politician in the military. Since then, he has made a career out of saying things that some groups like to hear. MANY of the things the Gen has said are either outright lies or falsehoods (you can fact check that fairly quickly). And, he has attacked the integrity of people with other lies and falsehoods.

@Flowerwall Crazy is a relative term. He played politics well. He, like Bush II, flew interceptors and never served in a war, but sure had the "balls" to call a really hero, John McCain a song bird. Fuck him.

@Flowerwall A crazy Lt Genl. spouting b.s. He has plenty of perspective, but his statements have all proven false. If he had any evidence, it would be found. Not only that, his statements were proven false.

I remember the first time I saw them. They were an opening act for.... wait for it.... Hall and Oates and Peter Frampton. The most interesting thing about the concert was that they started 15 minutes EARLY. Never had a concert start early.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Dec 5, 2020:

@Spinliesel Not sure what you mean. We all have some taught racism, especially from where I came from and being a white male, etc. That said, it WAS racism at the time that made many of those songs unacceptable UNTIL a white Elvis sang them and then they were acceptable.

WOW just WOW, in America it's illegal to use a mailbox for anything other than stamped mail. Does Australia have any such prohibition?

Technically one could get in trouble, but unless the mail was touched, no one does anything.

@Wisterious I saw bumper stickers during the campaign and lived it. I'm really hoping one of my old students goes to work at the WH (she was there during Obama - last time we talked away from FB, she took a selfie with me to add to President Obama and "Joe." ). Maybe I can get a tour after Covid. Currently she works for Pennsylvania Lieutenant governor.
