@St-Sinner The cat is quoting Hunter S. Thomas (aka Uncle Duke) line from the book *Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas*. It helps if you heard what he said prior to speaking of bat country. “We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Oh pifflie poo! I think the gig is to find like minded people to join like minded groups. What they're interested in tends to show up in their profile. Based on how many times I seen "interested in weed" in the profiles, there ought to be 80,000 people on this site that are interested smoking the rope. I've never seen the rope smoking group. Maybe most of them are too stoned to write or can't find a dealer.

It might be a useful feature to be able to invite Agnostic.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jul 21, 2019:

@scurry Everyone held hands. At the end of the line, one kid starts running until the whole line is running to keep up with him. Then the leader takes a U-turn. Object is to hold hands tightly at the end of the line or a kid at the other end of the line "pops" off the end of the "whip." If it's a long line, several kids would go flying. If the leader ran toward the school building and then did a U-turn, the kid at the end of the "whip" would "pop" into a brick wall. This could be followed by the playground supervisor getting involved in law suits for neglect. Understandably pop the whip is rarely played in school yards.

@t1nick Can't you give me the synopsis? The "go read a book" is another way of saying "I read it but I didn't understand it." Here's one short version of what Nazism is: "Nazi fascism’s ideology included a racial theory which denigrated “non-Aryans,” extreme nationalism which called for the unification of all German-speaking peoples, the use of private paramilitary organizations to stifle dissent and terrorize opposition, and the centralization of decision-making by, and loyalty to, a single leader." Source: https://remember.org/guide/facts-root-nazi Now here's the gig: name what solely English speaking ethic group is being unified and what paramilitary organizations are being used to create a Nazi state in America? Furthermore under Nazism there is only **one** political party. See anyone smashing the Democratic party? The web site I cited will sum it up for you a lot faster than reading a whole stinking book.

@t1nick >And Fascism is not always outward acting, it can be internally directed. Mussolini says differently. What the hell did he know? Once Hitler built up the military, he started invading neighboring countries. We have the most powerful military on the planet. Why haven't we invaded Mexico and Canada yet if we're going fascist? We ought to have several middle east states as our new states if we're fascists. Why aren't we collecting taxes from them, own their oil if we're fascists? In Fascism every citizen is expected to militarily fight for the state. Therefore when I hear the misinformed claimed Nazi Germany took away guns away from citizens instead of what they really did -- train almost everyone by handing them a gun -- my eyes roll. It remains popular to stand by the motto: *everyone I hate is a Nazi* all facts to the contrary.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jul 20, 2019:

@t1nick > Its about the actions of he and his followers and the terror and fea they perpetuate on their way up and at their peak Discrimination and ethnic hated are everywhere. Fascism is about dominating other countries either imperialistically or militarily. It's always over looked when people start nattering on about we're turning into a Nazi country. There are no plans to invade and crush Mexico for economic gain. Additionally Hitler attained power by a system that isn't the same as the US Constitution. Therefore when I hear people comparing our country to Nazi Germany, I look at it as shallow bullshit "*everybody I hate is a Nazi.*" >those that get butt hurt about the Nazi comparisons probably don't want to admit it is happening again. It's not butt hurt, it's a gasping knowledge of how bogus the claim is. Nazism rose during a post war depression dictated by the allies that won the war. In the US the stock market is at an all time high. Nobody has **successfully** invaded the US and dictated crippling post war terms. If Nazism/fascism was developing in America, we'd be planning to invade Mexico or Canada for economic gain and arming most of our citizens. Claiming the US is turning into Nazi Germany is **so bogus.**

Post civil war it was used in lieu of the word traitor among the southerners. It was aimed at southerns who endorsed Republicans and associated with freed slaves. In contrast, Yankees who moved south for the same purpose of the scallywags were called carpetbaggers for their choice of soft, yet durable luggage. >I always thought this word sounded sort of silly and not filled with enough contempt for them. Have you considered calling them fiendish knaves, miscreants, rapscallions, rascals, reprobates, scoundrels, varlets and villainous wretches instead?
