With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

Diogenes comments on Feb 18, 2019:

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? It is rather easy being a philosopher- when a person is comfortable- and well fed.

I've also said this too often,"Trump is not putting on an act; he IS every bit as stupid as he appears to be!" His only adjective is "great"; if he ever learns two, he will be 100% smarter than he was. Stephen Colbert said, "His speech was about as interesting as listening to paint dry."

Diogenes comments on Feb 15, 2019:

I have said this before, "I am not going to make a hobby of insomnia". I lay awake thinking of all the moronic mistakes I have made in life and then go to the coffee shop at ANY hour. In daytime, when I should be awake, I zonk to sleep due to exhaustion.

Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?

“I do not wish women to have power over men, but over themselves”....Mary Shelley (1797-1851)

Diogenes comments on Feb 13, 2019:

Yes, good quote. When society became more liberated and smoking became more accepted, some women made the choice of NOT smoking, while others chose to smoke and get cancer- like the men! Yes, "power over themselves", whether it be man or woman!

Because I have known despair, I value hope.

Diogenes comments on Feb 12, 2019:

"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.
