Somebody has located all my excuses.

Donald Trump Who ?

Diogenes comments on Mar 8, 2019:

Isn't that supposed to be "Donald Trump WHAT"? Maybe "Donald Trump IT".

Just curious.

Why is everybody laughing; that was "my" question! LOL.

I don't believe in fighting forever just to maintain a normal level of sanity---- but I do agree with people and their thoughts who try to shine a little light into the darkness. THANKS for your post.

Just read this excerpt from a NewsWeek article; see the link at the end for the whole story; Dear...

Diogenes comments on Mar 6, 2019:

Can't News Week afford people to edit their commentary, even in their first paragraph: "... letting big corporations run everything."? That is not the way "ruin" is spelled! Excuse me! Trump- and his pimps, are decidedly NOT funny- and I have a twisted sense of humour.

Nothing about this or anything tRump/pence are doing overseas is Good! NOTHING! [npr.

Diogenes comments on Mar 4, 2019:

I have a serious question to ask on here. Does this site have a 'whites only' feel about it? Why are there no black people on here? My only dividing line is a mentally active person- or a consummate moron. ... and B.Carson is a disgrace to anyone, black or white.

" Trump: dumbest student!" This has already been entered on Agnostic, but for anyone who hasn't ...

Diogenes comments on Mar 4, 2019:

I agree with what the comments are on here- Trump has never done any work- academic, or otherwise, in his life.

RIP Bone Spurs

Diogenes comments on Mar 4, 2019:

Diogenes comments on Mar 3, 2019:

Yes, yes, yes! Wasn't in a particularly good mood yesterday, but I did look for ways to turn it around; that is better than having the day end on a bad note. ... and thanks for the whole quote. "Carpe diem", it is often quoted, but I didn't know the rest, or from whom it originated.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire

Diogenes comments on Mar 2, 2019:

The crusaders weren't happy with just one crusade- they had to have two more, where they murdered every one in sight. But then there is the biblical fable about Jericho, and if I remember correctly, after the "walls came tumbling down" everyone was murdered-except for the few who were complicit. The bible: such an ugly read!

Diogenes comments on Feb 24, 2019:

Objectively, this is evil. But let's talk "subjectively"- what kinky pleasure do they get from this? I don't get it. Why would a man have any interest in little boys, or little girls? Neither have 'tits'. A bank robber is committing a criminal act, of course- but at least he may get money from his act. Flog the bastard, until there is no skin left on his back. Another piece of Trump sewage!

Education isn't something you can finish. - Isaac Asimov

Diogenes comments on Feb 24, 2019:

I don't have much of an education---- in fact, there are days when I wish I had at least managed to get to the starting line. Education should not end on the leaving of school- that is when it should be worked on in earnest.

Yes, a wonder that the bullet to the head didn't kill her- just because she thought girls should have equal rights to education. The cowardly shooter was beaten by a wee girl with courage. Last night I watched a movie about Winnie Mandela. She went off the rails after prison. The question is who wouldn't, spending 400 days in isolation, using a bucket, sleeping on a cement floor, without even a change in clothes?

"Tasted"- banal platitudes don't interest me much. "Living a life of misery" is just that- there isn't a wee bit of "tasting"! Yes, some reality is nasty and mean. And a person that has had to live such a life, like that, can have empathy for another who has had the same misery inflicted on them. Yes, it is a rest that is needed- where a person could live in a cloisterd-philisophical (sic) world for awhile.
