Diogenes's Profile

Some Bertrand Russell...

Diogenes comments on Feb 4, 2020:

Fantastic quotes! I do not agree with the first one though: "we are made stupid by education"; but only when we "know it all" and are made stupid from a partial education. When we are only informed by what we want to hear- that is not an education. I must look this up again; I've forgotten the lecturer- he was 100% secular, but he claimed there was a historic Jesus, who was a minor Jewish prophet and was executed. He was not the religious Jesus of myth- the one formed by the members of his cult.

Jerry Springer says, "Trump took my show and brought it to the White House." [yahoo.com]

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2020:

There Jerry Springer goes bragging- got news for him, the moronic situations are more complete in 'Trump's House'.

Have people gone too far in their criticism of Donald Trump?

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2020:

Trump makes his own disparaging stories of Trump- by being Trump. Critics just publish his actions.

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2020:

I'm looking for 'something' that has less wrinkles than I do! LOL

"Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2020:

Sunday school is the place where a child is fed the bad tasting medicine- that cures nothing.

GOP senator: Bankrupt farmers should be happy to 'sacrifice' for Trump Fuck that! I know hard...

Diogenes comments on Jan 31, 2020:

I've worked 'only' a few hours picking tomatos--- just ain't fun! I believe apples are still picked by hand; very hard work, and at least a person is not bent over. As far as The Fat Slob- forget about the hard physical work, as everyone knows, he has never done any of his own university credits. Ya, "Trump University", wadda knee slapper! Fuunnneee!!!

Hell of a good idea.

Diogenes comments on Jan 30, 2020:

When climate change arrives to its fullest and Florida sinks under the Atlantic, he will build a wall around Mar-a-Lago---- and of course, fuck the rest of Florida!

John Bolton Claims Trump’s Daily Hair & Makeup Routine Takes 2 Hours – The Halfway Post

Diogenes comments on Jan 30, 2020:

Wonder what period of time it takes his dressing assistant uses to tie his 'too-long tie' to the 'correct length of too-long'.

I was watching "Bush's War".

Diogenes comments on Jan 27, 2020:

I still have the news article somewhere, but I can't put an exacting quote from it. A study from Johns Hopkins U. had over 600,000 Iraqi civilians murdered in the 'need for war'. Then they committed the unforgivable sin by retracting it.

The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.

Diogenes comments on Jan 27, 2020:

"Closing years of life."! Why do ALL the obituaries say, "Died peacefully, with the family by his/her side." Does anyone ever say, "God-damn it, I don't want to go."?

"The difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own." Frank Zappa

Diogenes comments on Jan 27, 2020:

Ya, how many "$ trillion" does the Catholic Church have? Or maybe it is only the art collection that is worth that amount.

Trump scaring republicans

Diogenes comments on Jan 27, 2020:

It takes something really spectacular to scare a dim-witted Republican- but Trump delivers an industrial-grade of stupidity.

The roots of hypocrisy (some also appear to worship political parties)...

Diogenes comments on Jan 26, 2020:

The invention of the invisible-god was a great trend setter, only the indoctrinated can see it- but these cartoons show how foolish the whole idea of gods is.

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

Diogenes comments on Jan 26, 2020:

Yes, certainly a truism.

trump says the wheel was invented in 'Merica! Also talks about rockets. [youtube.com]

Diogenes comments on Jan 26, 2020:

Trump is insane; HE IS NOT PUTTING ON AN ACT. In the commentary by the reviewer of Trump's rant, the reviewer said the wheel was more than 3500 years old. Hasn't Trump watched something akin to his non-education, garbage TV, and watched the Romans in their chariots? The 'Mericans didn't invent it. Rockets! This expert about everything, Trump, obviously has never heard of the 'Merican, Robert Goddard, and his rockets from the 20s and 30s- or even Wernher von Braun. While I was in the air force, there was a German rocket plane, NOT a jet-engined, Messerschmitt, mounted on a pedestal. From the holes in it, it wasn't fast enough to get away from a Spitfire.

does anyone want to see how low Trump can go...at least so far?: [rawstory.com]

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2020:

"...at least so far". He hasn't started a nuclear war- YET.

Trump supporters claim to believe in God?

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2020:

There is a reason to allow SOME Trump supporters on here, and that is to remind everyone about how brain-dead they are.

Trump is disgusting. [npr.org]

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2020:

If Trump wasn't so VERY dangerous, he would be just boring- a two-bit comedian, with the same repetitive clown act. His flea-sized brain not having the ability to come up with some new farce.

Scientists confirm: Being forgetful is a sign of very high intelligence I was gonna comment, but ...

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2020:

Good that you can get a laugh out of this---uh--- forgetful crap. I was born when god-dude was a teenager- and don't find it----- what was I going to say? Seriously, for a second, I forget very little, because I eliminate the problem, by writing things down the moment I think about them. When I get out of my car in a big car lot, I take note of defining objects around the car.

Once again trump is calling the impeachment a hoax.

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2020:

Trump blather is emphatic. The situation arises when his fan club can't tell the difference between an 'emphatic lie' and the 'emphatic truth'.

I slept 8 hours in one go. So, so great, feeling like someone else today.

Diogenes comments on Jan 21, 2020:

I am happy for you. I went to bed last night at 12 and did not have ANY restful sleep. I dozed for a few minutes a few times and had stressful dreams.

Remember Joan Baez?

Diogenes comments on Jan 20, 2020:

Fantastic!

Since it's Martin Luther King day tomorrow, here's a quote from him: "Capitalism does not permit ...

Diogenes comments on Jan 20, 2020:

Socialism- "oh that horrible, un-godly socialism!", if applied correctly, is the only social correction that will work. Even the fictitious Jesus was a socialist. Fiction says he healed the blind- without sending them a bankrupting bill. Why should the trillionaires (yes, "trillions" will be the next step) live in four or five castles (winter, summer, whatever-the-reason) while so many exist in cardboard boxes in some alley?

Yet evangelicals adore him

Diogenes comments on Jan 20, 2020:

You forgot MURDER. And Mr. Trump has already committed those. Separate parents from their children- and life becomes depressing enough to commit suicide- all originated by Mr. Trump. This does not even consider his version of the 'invasion of Poland'- invade any country, under false pretentions; Trump has Iran in his sites.

This Bernie Ad is great and I couldnt help shedding a tear. [youtu.be]

Diogenes comments on Jan 20, 2020:

That is a spectacular piece; a statement of principle. When Sanders becomes president, he too will make some mistakes- but it is INTENT that is one of the important factors. Most Democrats have views about how to make the world and US better; Trump is trying to make the US as corrupt and as putrid as his flea-sized 'brain' can make it- and the world unlivable, as soon as possible.

Twenty years ago there was only one country in the Middle East that had no religious extremist ...

Diogenes comments on Jan 11, 2020:

The war and murder industry makes big money- for the "war and murder industry".

Difference between Christianity and Islam?

Diogenes comments on Jan 11, 2020:

Christianity is different--- by 'being the same as all the other cults that are different'.

He's not gay. 😂🤣🤣

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Whoever this is! Before I saw the picture I thought it applied to Trump- but Trump isn't "gay" either; he has his arm-candy, even if he doesn't know what 'it' is for- or how to 'use' it.

Iraq Parliament Votes All US Troops Out The Iraqi government voted unanimously to oust the US out...

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Yep, when "Shrub" (as Texas journalist Molly Ivins called him) and his cabal of criminals invaded Iraq, they didn't care if the Iraqis might prefer their own murderous dictator to a murderous foreign one. And one who won't now leave. War makes 'the war and murder industry' $trillions.

The few honest ones are leaving the ship [dailykos.com]

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

"left the ship": 'wonna' get out of the way when the next lot leave the ship, when the rats start to leave it's going to be a stampede.

Just my thoughts.

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Keep in mind that all so-called news has been 'adjusted'. We are living in "1984", where actual news was 'faults'- and then hidden. If Trump had been around at that time of Eric Blair's writing, the "faults" news would have been overwritten in as 'Trump's news flash, of the moment.'

“We should challenge the relativism that tells us there is no right or wrong, when every instinct ...

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Agreed!

If you want to begin your day with inspirational music .

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Well, it takes some talent to do that- BUT Pachebel's Canon is one of my favourite pieces of music. A greater 'crime' than that though is that it has been turned into 'elevator' music- or used as background music for anything from soap to whatever.

To most Christians, the Bible is like a software license.

Diogenes comments on Jan 9, 2020:

The bible is a bad read; it doesn't get worse. "Walking on water": gotta love it, but I'm up for a good laugh too. Oh, it wasn't meant to be funny.

Diogenes comments on Dec 30, 2019:

Hypothetical for a second! I think the final result and accumulation of what went on before is what counts. If a scientist can do one thing, manipulate chemicals and components and "knows it all", like Trump knows it all, but ends up blowing himself up--- that is rather stupid. YES, in this corrupt world, Trump may get away with his corruption, but he has never paid taxes and that is just one issue and there are thousands of issues to bring him to trial.

An agnostics "Christmas wish!" I wish that Trumps tax records are published before his trial by the ...

Diogenes comments on Dec 28, 2019:

His "supporters" do not have the ability to ponder anything. Question is: "How many tens of $millions has he not paid in taxes?" He is a 'professional criminal'. There is a 'thing' sitting in the White House; it doesn't have the ability to be president of anything.

Are you a "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" person?

Diogenes comments on Dec 25, 2019:

I am a 'Winter Solstice' person! Now that it is the 25th, there is only a couple of more weeks of the uninterrupted, moronic howling; just because it is past Santa Clause's birthday (whatever) it doesn't stop until the second week in January.---- Have a Happy Happy.
