Mooolah replies on Sep 10, 2021:

@William_Mary I went to the nation's best high school according to Time magazine. Those that did not take the opportunity to use that as a way to live successfully are responsible. Black kids living in Chicago would use grandma's address in this town in order to glean this successful educational offering. Those that were fans of said tv program "types" did not succeed other than by getting pregnant prematurely, not graduating, Choice! Choice to figure out a manner by which to excel anyway despite the culture. TLC depicts little of learning other than Dr. Pimple Popper. Youtube has levelled the playing field but it is tainted by the Alex Jones aficionados. Your point is well taken but we can steriotype as that is the basis of comedy. Those that make poor decisions must bear consequences. What those are varies from culture to culture. In North Korea the consequences for taking a public poster down can cost one their life. Make good choices. Learn from others. Do better.

The macho arrogant unsympathetic young service cops were motorheads themselves so I was in a difficult negotiation position. A mentor once taught me to "use the rules against them". I provided Mr. tough guy lead cop the ordinance. He refused to stop the mayhem entirely, only delegating them to the back of the 20 acre property. He went to the offending party to inform them. However, the din hasn't occurred since. They must have been an asshole to him & he shut the whole thing down.

@JeffMurray Unlike some I admit I am at a loss. So if you are using the term as a slur or slight to provoke a response or acquire attention, then I might add that "they" who really are idiots respond the same. The Captain_Feelgood always has relevant arguments backed up with substance, tho I seldom agree with his conclusion. I think he gets a lot of it from self styled pod cast "illuminaries". They would say how we are wrong. I agree my values differ from theirs. I agree many are severely misguided by values that do not reflect my own. They resent government telling them what to do & see it as over stepping the boundaries that were in place when they were in power. ie the patriarchal, Caucasoid, cis, heterosexual, dominated society The question is how do we resolve our differences so as to respect & improve our ability to live among each other.

I would rather pay cash legally than 20 years in prison. If legal cannabis is more expensive than cartel cannabis then capitalism says that the lowest price wins.

So many women supported my opposition that I was surprised we still had those types. "Men need their own groups too". Saw nothing wrong with it. Now if you bar women, who is next. This is not Afghanistan & restricting people on the basis of the X or Y chromosome is anachronistic. So have a group for men but permit all to participate just as the different racial groups do here.

I have opposed the Captain on many occasion and on most of his positions. He is not fond of me but I have been banned from the Repudlican groups, so I can't argue anymore with them. They must need some interaction as now they are posting in other groups. What he values he sees as government interference. That is open capitalism where profit should have no checks & balences which socialism is. Shoot any animal & call it hunting. No checks on fire arms as governments do confiscate them as in 1938 Poland. If he takes a SSI check or Medicare then he is a hypocrite but not an idiot.

Over throwing legally elected governments is not my vision of "in our interests". Our interests might be better served providing an educational system that does not promote creationism/"intelligent design", but critical thinking & economics & simple science for the simple. Then there is our high infant mortality rate due to corporate food creating an obese nation. Then there is the legally created opioid plague by the drug companies. So our self interests might take a look closer to home.

Mooolah replies on Aug 20, 2021:

@JeffMurray The Captain is not an idiot.. His values are just different. He doesn't care if the pipeline goes thru Native land or leaks. He doesn't care that the Defense Department tried to refuse the excess funds that are unused but was forced to accept it as Congress & the previous Executive willed it so. He cares about keeping things in the usual Caucazoid, heterosexual, male dominated, war like behavior of the past. He is well informed but does not value what we LIBERALS value. Fairness, inclusion, care for the indigent, clean environment, advancement of women & our citizens who as enslaved people never were able to build wealth as Reconstruction failed & the Captain is probably happy about that & wants us to fail as well. But the arc of history bends towards justice. But I take issue with the whole dismissal of his position as idiot. I defend his right to say it.

Our educational system is funded by property taxes. Poor neighborhoods with low taxes are in lead pipe infested schools, with poor nutrition, & questionable home life. It is a unfair, racially & class separation motivated. We are in the throws of not resolving our funding issues & segregation issues. Grappling with our inequities causes much unrest. How to address these issues democratically & fairly is an ongoing debate. Since Raygun began dismantling the safety nets of the federal government, our prisons have become our insane asylums, our veterans are homeless & suicidal, our affordable housing is not affordable, our Defense department is awash in money they don't need & tried to refuse, the drug war is lost, the war on poverty is lost, the war in Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, are lost. People can not even write a grammatically correct sentence here. Our infant mortality rate is inexcusably high as our obesity rate climbs above 50%. Very depressing.

Mooolah replies on Jul 15, 2021:

Do you know what us "ugly" women have to do to make ourselves "beautiful". It is called a "make over", costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars & still ends in catastrophe. Look at some of the make over videos. You might mistake them for horror movies. Or a metamorphosis. Look at Ru Paul. So make yourself beautiful in the eyes of shallow women or be true to yourself & live with the frustration of finding someone who fits. Ugly is John Merrick who was well loved in court for is inner beauty.

You & I would pay less taxes if AMAZON & Jeff would pay SOMETHING!. As to government handouts, our mentally ill homeless veterans could use some hand outs of follow up nurses for treatment which President Raygun cut so that corporations got the tax breaks that you & I did not get. Capitalism must be checked by socialism & socialism must be checked by capitalism. I am an ardent capitalist but outr helpless need government attention.

@Charlene When Jordan held Jerusalem, Judaics were not permitted to pray at the Wailing Wall. Under Israel's control, all religions are free to practice. Except maybe Scientology. This is a result of the vestiges of colonialism. Ottoman, Brits, Israel, Jordan. The boundaries have changed since millennia. Personally I think Danzig should have been Israel 2. The Poles owed the Judaics sanctuary & an autonomous country. Anyway it is the Judaics land as well as the diaspora will attest. They are Abrahemic cousins. Anyway the Palestinian Authority should have excepted the 2 state solution. But they reject everything in order to keep the war a constant.
