If it is good for one- it is good for "ALL". Lets see a few baseball caps, preferably on backwards. I used to go into a Sikh restaurant. Why? Because it was spotlessly clean; the food was delicious- and he could wear what he wanted in his own establishment--- he wasn't obligated to follow the rules of Parliament- like everyone else.

Yes, I had read a 100 years ago, when I was young, that the first five books of the Torah were significant, and supposedly written by Moses- must have had first hand communication with god-dude.

First, and foremost, no fictional god gave anybody the right to steal anything. There are Jews that would steal the shirt off your back- like Bernie Madoff----- who even robbed from his own people. Sounds a lot like the "good" Christians that came to North America- and stole everything they could get their hands on from the "savages".

I read he is worth about $33 billion. The solution is to stop buying the cheap, Chinese junk, at Walmart. I never go into the place unless it is absolutely necessary. Remember even canned food sold there is now being processed in China. Even in China, the lower class are treated like slaves, so they work in food processing factories. What is in that food?

Diogenes comments on May 6, 2019:

Trump is working as hard as he can to start a war with Iran, or any country that will take the bait- just like the school yard bully that puts a person in a corner, and that person has no other option than to fight. I've said this before, Trump gives that great military salute; he must have watched too many John Wayne movies, where Wayne beat the whole German army---- by himself. That would be hard to do since neither Trump or Wayne served in the military. He will eventually have success in his attempts to destabilize the world economy- he's working very hard at that too. Apparently, according to this book, Trump's attention span is like that of Kaiser Wilhelm's- measured in nanoseconds.

To put another twist to Jefferson's understandable idea; I eat meat, on occasion- 'shame on me'. So I eat some of the other residents of this rock, whether they are biped or quadruped. I am not into any vegetarian cult, but I find it amazing that there can't be a small amount of empathy shown for the beasties. Back to Jefferson: Marie Antoinette and Louie found that the 'crude and unwashed', could finally get tired of being "general prey of the rich". They didn't know when to stop their willful ignorance.

Wouldn't mind getting laid myself---- before I forget what it is about- and have to read the instruction book to remind me. "Professionally"- well I wouldn't require pay!

Jeezuz---- just to think about that---- when I said "uck", didn't think anyone heard me. Actually not very funny--- I'm just about one step away from living that way. Hope the junk doesn't have a leaky roof.

I had always wondered how the German people had fallen under Hitler’s spell !?

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2019:

Under Hitler, "fall under the spell" -----or be dead! If the Trump-thing gets total control------! The munchkins are too stupid to see what could happen.

I have never heard of this lady--- fantastic voice. I suppose a singer from Nova Scotia. That province has so much talent in.

Oh Yes! and I don't even like Hillary. :)

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2019:

There are people that I don't particularly 'like'- but I respect them for their honesty. Hilly-babe has no honesty- she is, like Trump, always playing to the mob.

There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your...

The last bit of that quote is an outright lie. It is noble to ascend, the mountain, for some all they have to do is go up; they have been placed at the base from birth. Others take a lifetime even finding the figurative mountain. I don't care if it is the famous Richard Dawkins that said it; it is just another mindless platitude.

Yes, yes- wish I had realized that much earlier in life.
