genessa comments on Mar 27, 2019:

the country did not vote in trump. the electoral college did. the country gave hillary clinton almost three million more votes than they gave trump. however, not all of the votes counted the same way. for example (one of many), one vote from a citizen in wyoming has the same weight as 3.6 votes ...

Diogenes replies on Mar 26, 2019:

@Freedompath It is my wish that you have a good morning. Yes, you are right 'safety' by being a sheeple, and not raising one's head. A consideration: a person can back up only so far-then there is no longer any more room to back up. I've forgotten who said it, "If a person is willing to give up their freedom for safety, they deserve neither."

Diogenes replies on Mar 25, 2019:

@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!

OldGoat43 comments on Mar 24, 2019:

Our childish president is upset because people don't acknowledge his generosity for spending other people's money for a funeral for a national hero. If he committed suicide we would all acknowledge his passing with parades and parties. Lots of parties. Isn't that good enough?

Diogenes replies on Mar 25, 2019:

Okay, I'll try again. This one is also one that had been used, before it was applied to Texas. I haven't looked this up so I don't even know if I have the name correct, Governor of Texas, Richardson (?) supposedly said, "If English was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for all people in Texas."

Freedompath, Thanks. For most of my life I have been the sucker, with no street-smarts, but now I try to see the same things that the cognitive people can see. And yes, I keep a journal and try to explore ALL the good and bad angles of a situation. Even then, let it sit for a few days.

@Marionville, @Freedompath I think too much!!!! Then the question is, "Do I have the copacity to think at all?" I guess its the ancestral Irish in me, I can't resist the temptation to pillor myself and joke- even when I 'may' be down. Your points well taken!

Diogenes replies on Mar 24, 2019:

@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!

@Marionville Before I am off here for the day- 'no, no and another no', I am not trying to get in the "last word". LOL. Seriously, you, not being forced to stagger through the muck, have had the disadvantage of having a hole in your "education" (please don't get angry). 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 It is reported, whether true or not, that during the famin that the Irish satirized their situation. This in no way prevented their deaths- and their jokes probably brought agreement and jeers- not happy laughter.

Diogenes replies on Mar 23, 2019:

@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.

Diogenes replies on Mar 20, 2019:

@Marionville and Fernapple-- First of all- I thought there would be a few hundred half-wits calling me a "racist". 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". Even educated black people laugh at all this frothy politically-correct nonsense.

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!
