Why There Are So Many Incompetent Male Leaders

Gwendolyn2018 comments on Jan 12, 2020:

By the way, Trump is NOT charismatic.

Sticks48 replies on Jan 13, 2020:

@Gwendolyn2018 People have left. I believe conway and miller ( They don't deserve capital letters in their names ), just love being close to the seat of power. I thought Obama was one of the most charismatic people ever. I met Ali and I can say he had charisma coming out every pore. Obviously other people do not feel that way about them at all. I know race has quite a bit to do with both of those examples. I don't think most of trump's hard core followers are going to find a really intelligent person charismatic because they feel somewhat inferior to those people, as most of his followers are uneducated, and feel like they are looked down on by these people whether that is true or not. What they don't get because, because they aren't very bright is trump and his ilk do look down on them where as Obama and the people like him really don't. IMO

Sticks48 replies on Jan 11, 2020:

@Spinliesel I will ask him. They do all Dead songs, but they don't try to copy the Dead. Jerry has a voice reminiscent of Paul Simon. He rotates a lot of different players in and out of the group so it can take on a very different feel depending on the players on any particular evening. One night he did a trio with these two really good players who obviously had at least some background in jazz. It had that kind of feel of the small jazz combos and clubs of my youth, but it was all Dead songs. You might like them. My sister-in-law is a Dead Head and she really likes them.

These buildings were not built like other skyscrapers. It was not built with a steel frame in the middle, typical of buildings built at that time. Fire didn't turn them to dust. Its own weight turned it to "dust". That fire was not a regular fire. It was jet fuel, which burns much hotter than a regular fire. We have been at war with someone for all but 16 years of our existence as a country. What would be the purpose for our doing this. Wars are terrible for the economy. That myth came from the aftermath of WWll when we were the economic power in the world as everyone else was rebuilding their bombed out countries. Read a book.

I just make it up as l go along. I try to pay attention to who the person tells me they are and not get blinded by the excitement of a new relationship. It seems as l have gotten older everyone is more cautious, myself included, and it can take very little to derail it. I am much less optimistic ...

In some cases I would probably have no problem with it, especially if it meant saving the lives of innocents who are always the biggest losers in war.

@MizJ Hell if I know. One of the struggles of mankind is the only absolute is if you are born, you will die. The rest of this is all made up by us. It always has been, and will be until we are no longer here as a species. Morality is not a fixed thing.

Great question about, "who is our Vice Prez...?" Seriously, why is Pence completely out of the loop?

Sticks48 replies on Jan 3, 2020:

@Freedompath He is not one of them. His trusted circle is extremely small. Pence ain't one of those folks. He does serve a purpose. IMO

@SilentRage NO, l am tired of seeing this same subject come up every two or three months. What exactly are you trying to find out. We are all here pretty much for the same reason. We don't believe in God and most of us really hate religions. That should be enough on this particular subject. Now let's get back to discussing religion and how much it affects our everyday life in this most fucked up country. 😊

They picked him to help attract the religious right. I don't believe he has ever been in the inner circle. He knows just enough so he can't say anything without incriminating himself. Trump has tricks he learned from his old lawyer Roy Cohen on how to control people around him. IMO

When I saw Trump on stage making fun of an handicapped person I couldn’t believe it.

Summer72 comments on Jan 2, 2020:

That did it for me too. I talked about this with a Trump Supporter who lives outside of the US. I showed it to them. They blew it off and said he always talks that way when he mocks people. It wasn't directed towards the handicapped reporter. Urgh!!!!! I don't get the logic.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 31, 2019:

@Allamanda I was much more optimistic in my youth. Over the last forty years I have come to the conclusion humanity is a failed experiment. As for where we live. The mainland U.S. is unlike ant other country in the world. We have over 350 million folks from every race, religion, and culture trying to make this work. No other country is this complicated, and maybe it won't work in the end. This next election may determine whether it will work or not.

@Allamanda You aren't here. As Churchill said, "Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted. Our politicians and corporate leaders are not close to being there yet. Until greed and religion become insignificant factors, those kind of changes are going to be damn near impossible to implement.

@Allamanda Humanity has been the same since the beginning of recorded history. If this happens it will happen after the disaster of millions of people dying. Human beings only do something when standing on the precipice. It is obvious they don't feel that way at this time.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 31, 2019:

@thinktwice I liked that people thought it would explode. People didn't tailgate that car. Since rear end accidents account for about 30% of all accidents, it was a pretty safe car. :)

One can be both an extrovert and still be reflective. They are not mutually exclusive. Anymore than being an introvert makes one reflective. All introverts are not the same and all extroverts are not the same.

@Paracosm I don't know why people worry about people being introverts. I lived with an introvert for nine years and we are still friends. She only sees me and her youngest daughter and her family. She is fine being who she is. She doesn't whine or complain about it. We all have to except who we are.

@IrishTxJudy I am an extrovert and I enjoy my quiet time, lately more than ever, but I don't talk about it all the time like introverts do. If introverts don't socialize how are we supposed to know they exist, yet they seem to get upset when we don't know they exist.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 28, 2019:

@IrishTxJudy It doesn't hit a nerve, but I have noticed the self proclaimed introverts on this site spend an inordinate amount of time talking about themselves. Self absorption is a huge turn off. It is like they want attention, but don't want attention. If they are so not into being socal they would not be on social sites. They seem to want to be treated as if they are something special and of course they are not, anymore than the rest of us.
