Diogenes's Profile

I read an article about Einstein and his brilliance.

LucyLoohoo comments on May 8, 2019:

Brilliant! That really makes me smile...thanks!

Diogenes replies on May 8, 2019:

I believe Tesla's brilliance--- and of course Edison's copyright thefts, may have effected his mental health. He ended up in dire poverty feeding the pigeons in Central Park.

Who are these five and what country are they from?

Diogenes replies on May 8, 2019:

@Marionville You 'got it'! Even the Second World War: 'in the movies' John Wayne led the US military and he and it saved the world. When Hitler started the Barbarossa Campaign more German troops were diverted east than west. At least that is what I have repeatedly read. Russia won the war, whether we like that or not. Germany- and Japan have learned from their defeat- that war is not nice or fun. Right now Angela Merkel is the only adult 'in the room'. The US learned from the war too- or should I say, "their war and murder industry"- there is big profit to be made in war.

NHjulie comments on May 2, 2019:

I'm so tired of hearing people say, when they survive something, "Thank God. He was looking out for me". What this means is that everyone else who had something bad happen "god" didn't care enough about. Infuriates me!

Diogenes replies on May 4, 2019:

@Robecology It may give you a tremendous shock to know that I agree with most of what Dawkins has to say. I will also add to that, he falls down when he attempts to produce another 'brainy quote'- which at times seems to be his priority. I saw a TV clip, many years ago, of the Canadian, Marshall McLuhan; he too was attempting to be profound. He was making an ass of himself. He was mumbling gibberish; even the supposed non-intellectual reviewer noticed this. To me, as dull witted as I am, and talking about "eye brows", anyone who would stare through the hair of their eye brows, needs to find the light switch----- and turn on the light. And of me: I know nothing and if I have ever learned anything, by accident, I have forgotten it long ago. I guess that would make me a prime candidate for president of the US.

Diogenes replies on May 3, 2019:

Diogenes replies on May 2, 2019:

@Freedompath I have noticed in this life that there are some who have the choices of curbing their excesses, but chose not to; the grossly fat, are the first to enter the "all-ya-can-eat" restaurant. I have noticed that those who have too much, want more. I have noticed people who are just skin and bones, and are starving to death. Maybe if they just took an 'optimistic view' of life that wouldn't happen------ or am I missing something? In a situation like this there is no choice.

To me, I don't care---- but I was in a pub, by myself, a few days ago, and two sat down at the next table. Every other word was "fuck".

The overuse of any word: The little boys need to buy a little book with little words so when they use their little brains to say the little words they have a little to say.

Diogenes replies on Apr 29, 2019:

It's not my compulsion to deal with so-called 'dirty words'; the main point that I tried to extend was 'this weird world and such strange proclivities'. As I sit here, with a Webster's English Dictionary in my hand, copyright 1997 (not 1897), revised 2002, there is the publishing company's aversion to reality. There seems to be a word eliminated between "cumbersome" and "cunning". Okay, maybe an abridged version; but what governs what is to be removed?

Yes, I wasn't advising not to sleep eight hours; my point was the amazing amount of time- the 20 years. The last part of that video, hit the mark, to me,'stupid people making stupid choices'.

Diogenes replies on Apr 29, 2019:

@Marionville Addressing the subject, "fear". 'Yesterday', not a month ago, or 10 years ago, I talked with "Proessor Emeritus ..." I was in the coffee shop and he approached me as I quietly worked on lessons, nothing to do with university. I don't know why he thought talking to someone like me would be interesting. We eventually talked about the local morons on the road. I had a half-wit pull a stunt on me recently. He said, that when they tail-gate him, he just pulls over to the side of the road and lets them pass. Ya! That just puts off the situation for today- where in another while, they may get a person unexpectedly and he/she will get killed. A person can only back up so many times, and so far, and eventually there is neither time or space to back to.

"Entry level jobs": well more and more people educated people are getting dumped into entry level jobs---- and seeing their lives destroyed by poverty .It is just the right situation, for educated people, to set up bloody revolution; ask Marie Antoinette and Louie. I have never waited tables; but I do my best to try to thank a restaurant worker for their grinding work, and to make their day better; to let them know that all customers are not 'rude-rubes'. If I were to work in a restaurant, with moronic-little customers, changing their minds, while their screaming brats misbehaved in the background- someone would eventually get the garlic-flavoured ice-cream.

@genessa And then we have "dijk" for "dike", if you speak Dutch- and I don't particularly care how it's spelled, and I don't have time, or interest, in what other people are doing when they are minding their own business. What I was doing was quoting the news- and what was implied. I do not like pompous, self-righteousness, though.

I started collecting memes on Trump thinking "I'll run out of these."

@genessa Ya, Ike had his English assistant--- and when we get at it, Eleanor was supposed to be a dike as well- but then one has to believe everything they read.

Interesting that they know what Jesus looked like 2000 years ago. I guess even he wasn't big enough to piss on it and put out the flames.

Diogenes replies on Apr 18, 2019:

"Piss on it", how crude! But how perfectly correct!

Just got my taxes from the accountant. The fucking nut is fucking us even worse than the previous guy who fucked us.

And who would that be? The tax-payers paid for Bush's illegal war in Iraq---- and are still paying for it.

If we really want to get too it, we can go back to Jefferson and his slave. My point was, that in modern times, it was Kennedy that was a fuck addict.

TWITTER URGED TO SUSPEND DONALD TRUMP AFTER PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF ‘SHARING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS ...

MojoDave comments on Apr 15, 2019:

Wouldn't that be fun... Suspend Trump's Twitter account! I wonder what he would do? Call out the military? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Diogenes replies on Apr 17, 2019:

... and put his twitter box just out of reach of his groping little hands.

We all know that people working for trump have resigned, or quit.

Diogenes comments on Apr 15, 2019:

Not "all" slime working for the Trump dictatorship have resigned, all the criminals are there, but even they are on a tentative leash- because he may suspect them of not being loyal-Trump criminals. The only ones that have left on their own volition are the one's who could no longer bare the burden ...

He isn't pretending to be loopy; he's a nutter on steroids. Difficult, to create one much crazier than 'it' is.

So-called Christians elected him?

Freedompath comments on Mar 29, 2019:

It is hard to wrap my mind around that fact...but as to what has always been put forth...when people SHOW you who they are, believe them! What most of the Christians aspire to...has little to do with the teachings of Jesus, which is the basis for Christianity!

Diogenes replies on Apr 13, 2019:

@Freedompath I know nothing-- and if I have ever learned anything, by accident, I have forgotten it long ago. Should I laugh at this- or be depressed?

"IT lives", but when IT dies there will be a great celebration, by thinking, compassionate, people- who normally wouldn't celebrate the death of anyone.

Obama cared

Diogenes comments on Apr 11, 2019:

Positive picture. Puts some light on the day! It would be great to have a conversation with Obama, about ANYTHING. Any choice would be a good, fun-filled choice. Could a person find SOMETHING/ANYTHING to talk about with the witless-object that is now polluting the White House?

Diogenes replies on Apr 11, 2019:

@Tooreen Never thought of that- but he sure as hell owns a KKK hood. I was thinking about his dunce's hat.

It is said Atheist’s are fairly convinced but Agnostics are sitting on the fence, I just hope ...

SiouxcitySue comments on Apr 10, 2019:

Having determined that I am apatheist, the whole concept is totally irrelevant to me. It's just a form of mental masturbation when someone is bored. The idea of proving existence - non existence of gods is no longer interesting or of value to MY existence.

Diogenes replies on Apr 11, 2019:

Who cares about religion? It is not relevant to anything. And "no", I am not going to re-invent the unknown or unknowable.

What sort of legal recourse do we have to Eradicate these Fascists republicans and their pimped leader trump????

Diogenes replies on Apr 11, 2019:

@Freedompath Trump is openly a criminal---- in every possible way. He has been this way his whole life. He has no intention of changing. He has not appointed the BEST people for the job; he has appointed the most PROFOUND criminals his tiny brain can scum up.

We need empathy, not religion.

@Marionville Would that be falsely "upbeat" as opposed to dealing with reality?
