Wow putin is talking to north korea to help trump is this a case of helping your subordinate ?

EMC2 comments on Apr 25, 2019:

How very interesting. Putin knows how to make an offer one cannot refuse. Trump is just a wanna be mob leader who failed at it.

Diogenes replies on Apr 25, 2019:

Putin is a mobster also-- but many, many times smarter than the Orange Thing. ANYBODY has with a brain does not threaten somebody with nuc weapons. Trump wants to consider--- one of them may blow up one of his golf courses- of course he knows that a few hundred miles of collateral damage is of 'no consequence'.

Dogs do it in the middle of the lawn---- and it doesn't corrupt them. What I object to, is the lack of education. If "fuck" is the only expletive a person has- they need to expand their vocabulary.

@Freedompath You hit the nail on the head. 'Seriously' and I am never 'patronizing'. Next, this is supposed to bring a laugh: "I am a 'criminal'- I got a traffic ticket '20 years ago' for being slight over the speed limit, there was no accident" To clariffy this- I lead a rather boring life. Without spending time to write volumes about this, I will give you some idea of what is going on. Where I live is not a crime area. The house across the highway was sold in 2013. It was so well decorated and clean inside that the real estate company kept it on the net with the caveat that it had been sold. The criminals moved in------ and the fucking fun began. The BOOMING from their gigantic boom box rattled my windows- from across a HIGHWAY! I, and the neighbours, called the police many times- no arrests were made. After months of this, I went over to tell them to stop it. I had two of them on me plus their German Sheppard. One year after, the police raided the place. They were arrested for baby porn, holding an underage girl for prostitution, drug offences, weapons offences. In the meantime, if this even matters, they had wrecked the house. We are talking about the bottom feeders BELOW the bottom feeders. Then 2 years after, the Toronto Star recorded the truth, they reinvented their own news. I was the initiator and the criminals, had been unjustly treated. Their lawyer had gotten charged with perjury already once. It goes on--- and the drug dealers have more money than I have

This is for real!

@Marionville Okay! To be 100% 'truthful', (I am truthful, at times, even though it 'disorients' me) I have not done what I should have done in this life. I used to volunteer at the food bank- but not anymore- at times depression gets a strange hold on me. The Minonittes here do some wonderful work around the world, such as water treatment, food and helping with farm production. Although they are religious, I would rather talk with them than some self-centered being that is totally ignorant of anything. ... and big thanks for doing 'my' share of the work- work that 'I' should have been doing myself. One last point, as far as I know, their food containers DOESN'T say, "This food was brought to you by god". (that would be their version of god, so this in essence, would be a bribe to recruit) Thank you for your message!

I don't claim to have Trump's 156 IQ,( ha, ha,) but I am smart enough to know that there are lessons in both, the negative and the positive- although I have too often seen that the Yin and Yang have gone out of balance.

@Marionville I am sorry, VERY SORRY, to hear about your son's death; I DO have empathy! I also agree with you 100% that looking for the positive side of the day makes rational sense- anybody that can only find the negative option needs to see a 'shrink'. On the REAL side of this, I have events, NOT of my own making, that have dragged me down for years, time after time.----- Nice to be cloistered- nice to be comfortable! Everyone comes to an end- some people never live- before the cardinal event takes place. NOT trying to be arguementative, because you do put things on here that are worthy of thought- on the other hand, stagger through the muck for YEARS and see if that changes your outlook. That is why I have a frothing hate for criminals like Trump---- I have met every last fucking one of his type.

Hey, ya can't go around comparing "people of colour" with people who have 'no colour', and are therefor invisible. I know that you have understood that I was talking about mumble-brained, ACCEPTED stupidity. I have 'good friends'---not token friends--- of all shades. They are all smart and good natured. (damn, gotta figure out why they talk with me---- ain't got neither.) If I was in so-called "darkest Africa", I would be the "white guy". I sure as hell wouldn't be, "the guy of the colour white".

Diogenes replies on Mar 19, 2019:

@Marionville I am going to agree with you. Decades ago the issue of political-correctness was amusing, now this moronic avocation is well overdone. In Ontario, The Hag, the former premier of some dubeous orientation, was going to change pronouns on government forms to "ze". "Ze", got voted out! While Ze was education minister, her deputy minister was arrested for child molestation charges. ... I am going to put myself up as a target again. I being a "person of colour", a sorta worn-out, grey-pinkey colour, wonder what that term means. What would be the comparison; what would a person with no colour look like? Are there that many invisible people running around? Using that term is doubly insulting. First, it is moronic; second, it assumes that the recipient is as dumb as the deliverer. So there is my rant of the day!
