"I would rather 'pretend' to be bad, than to 'pretend' to be good. The reality is although there is some good in this world; there is a lot of evil as well. It is a hard, mean, nasty place- with no loving gods of any kind. An example of my miguided supposed-goodness is to feed the rabbits so they don't starve.

Welcome to @Diogenes. Please pull up a stool to the fire and join in the craic, perhaps telling us about yourself, your likes and experiences with the genre.

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

Well my craic is always active- warped as it is. It's a sad day when a person can't find a little humour in the day. Thanks for the welcome.

He actually has a soul??!! That's news!

Corvislover comments on Mar 7, 2019:

It's as ironic as cinco de mayo.

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@Corvislover Okay. I did not know that. I do NOT like being in the company of falling-down drunks.

Platitude of the Day Remember to smile----- and drive your enemies nuts!

Jolanta comments on Mar 7, 2019:

I think that trying to be nice to everybody is a good thing. People are more likely to listen to what you have to say if you don't swear or make them feel like they are idiots. It is an art though.

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

Okay, okay- I promise "not to smile". Ugh, lemme see; I believe my joke was about pithy platitudes and cloistered, covert reality.

Are you tired of winning yet?

Diogenes comments on Mar 6, 2019:

Does it make you 'grate'?

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@EllenDale LOL

One person on here talked about "recycling energy".

gater comments on Mar 7, 2019:

you Canadians should watch what you say about our president, we might decide to turn Canada into our 51st state.

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

Or we might turn your 50 into another province.

Well qualified

GinaKay comments on Mar 7, 2019:

@Closeted *We are better than this.* Don't get me wrong. I despise Trump, and believe his current wife is an opportunist who hitched her wagon to a corrupt, egomanical sociopath. And probably was the same as the undocumented immigrants that Trump villifies when she started working in the U.S. ...

Diogenes replies on Mar 8, 2019:

As soon as Trump is jailed--- or sooner, she will vanish. Old, fat Trump will be on wife 15 before he is done, and they will get uglier and uglier as he wears down to his last nickl.

Diogenes replies on Mar 7, 2019:

Yes, But in the case of cinco de mayo its a matter of wanting to connect with their past. I understand that- and I agree with that. The local Irish club is a familly club, with GAA games, music, set dancing---oh forgot, and 'fresh' Guinness! LOL

Asshole doesn't care said he could murder someone and get away with it

Diogenes replies on Mar 7, 2019:

"Trump murder"? Of the THOUSANDS of people that he has cheated in business: the little old lady that invested her last $5,000, or the the small business person who lost their $500,000. life savings----- in all certainty some of them committed suicide. Hang the bastard.

Fernapple comments on Mar 6, 2019:

From a man who slowly degenerated into an alcoholic wreck as life went on. Sad.

Diogenes replies on Mar 7, 2019:

@Fernapple I drink booze, like I would drink anything else, 'coffee' for instance. The point is, I would not think of drinking a 'gallon' of coffee, even though I was too long out of my youth when I 'grew up'. On a very bad day though, I still call my pint, "Prozac".

Diogenes replies on Mar 7, 2019:

@Fernapple I've never tried drugs- but I can see a person getting into alcohol or drugs who would be depressed by their 'imperfections'- that is not quite the same as "lack of reaching perfection" as you put it. Overall though, a good point.

Marionville, PULEEZE put a funny quote on here- this very screwed up world could use a few laughs. In regard to your quote: "I used to be wonderful- that changed, now I'm marvelous--- in all modesty".

Diogenes replies on Mar 6, 2019:

Yes, people could try to get it on there. Wish I was smart--- my IQ is only '146' (like hell), only 10 points behind Trump's 156. That joke damn near makes me gag.

Mob Boss - Fuhrer Trump

Arouet comments on Mar 4, 2019:

Unfair to real mob bosses, many of whom are highly intelligent, cultured men with powerful personalities and leadership abilities. The fact that they are also pricks is beside the point.

Diogenes replies on Mar 5, 2019:

Trump is an inanimate lump. He doesn't have the ability to know anything about anything. He, and his witless bride, can't visualize the idea of "culture". Albert Ketelbey's Bells Across The Medows, to name just one piece of all the hundreds of thousands of fantastic pieces of world music, is something he wouldn't hear---- if he ever went to a concert, he would have to twitter. If he did hear---- to him, it would be a Martian frog cherping in Martian Latin.

He is a piece of work.

Diogenes replies on Mar 5, 2019:

"piece of work"- "...an' the neck bone connected to the solid lump atop the neck." Maybe that would be hard to put to music, though! It doesn't seem to have the right meter. LOL

RIP Bone Spurs

Science-guy comments on Mar 4, 2019:

The American flag that Trump has at his rallies, just signed onto the #metoo hashtag.

Diogenes replies on Mar 5, 2019:

Yep!

Trump's newest statement!

Diogenes comments on Mar 4, 2019:

'Sorry to Campbells'- sorry for being graphic- but there needs to be a little shit floating around in that soup!

Building a wall vs no clean water - Real emergency

St-Sinner comments on Mar 4, 2019:

Because the polluted drinking water that killed men, women and babies in Flint, MI was not caused by immigrants. It was the work of God loving good and decent church going Christian men.

Diogenes replies on Mar 4, 2019:
