Excessive use of the word fuck.

davknight comments on Jun 7, 2019:

'Fucking', or 'Fokken' in old Anglo-Saxon, literally meant 'the banging of two objects together', and was their slang term for sexual intercourse (Gee. We wonder how they associated that with banging?). Come the Norman Conquest of 1066, the Normans wanted them to say 'coitus'. But the Anglo-Saxons would have none of it. The Normans wanted them to say 'merde', rather than 'shytte'. And they wanted them to stop drinking whiskey, beer, and gin--and instead, take up drinking fermented grape juice. But the Anglo-Saxons would have none of their bloody fokken shytte, and soon had the Normans drinking whiskey, beer, and gin, thus Anglo-Saxonizing the Normans (who also took to saying 'shytte',and 'fuck'). But for some reason, the Church continued to frown on the use of Anglo-Saxon slang words.And the idea that they are inherently 'bad' continues a thousand years later!

We need more equitable distribution of firearms. Currently, less than 25% of U.S. households have firearms in them.That's pathetic. And it points to gun hoarding by the Rich! We need to abolish all gun laws, and distribute arms and ammunition to anybody that wants them! An armed society is a polite society! And political power grows out the barrel of a gun! Those police and politicians are less uppity, when confronted with an armed populace! In fact, I call for the abolition of all gun laws, Worldwide! There is absolutely no reason for police, politicians, and Rich people to be better-armed than the rest of Humanity (That oughta get you anti-gunners started!).

Food stamps 2020: SNAP benefits helped the US economy during the Great Recession - Vox

davknight comments on Jun 7, 2019:

The Food Stamp program was set up so that for every dollar spent, the retailer got TWO dollars. So of course, it helps the economy. Safeway, Krogers, and Walmart would scream bloody murder if it was ever ended. The food giants make a fortune off it. The bad thing is, it is inadequate for the needs of the elderly. If you have any sort of social secirity coming in, the maximum benefit rate is $25 per month. No wonder I see so many elderly folks around here dumpster-diving!

We had a 'fort' in a nearby patch of woods. So me and another kid spent the rest of the afternoon stockpiling it with bbs for our bb guns, and with whatever canned food we could sneak from the kitchen cupboards.No Russky invasion occurred, and we spent the next several days glued to the television.

When his mistress returned, she saw that my plate was clean, and offered me another helping. To which I replied, "That was delicious! But if I eat another helping, my stomach will burst!"

I once spent a few months observing the goings-on in a Pentacostal church, in a small Alabama town. Amongst the first things I noticed were where people sat. The rich folks always occupied the pews in the left front, where they could be observed picking their noses, balling up their boogers, and flicking them. (Something that reminded me of eighteenth-century English magistrates,who would flick their boogers at criminal defendents). Another oddity was that the teenagers clustered in the back pews, where they could try their luck at flirting with one another. The pews in front of them were occupied by the single adults, looking to hook up. In the right front pews were the residents of local homeless shelters, where the entire congregation could observe, and self-righteously 'fawn' over them. Just behind them sat the holy-roller performer types, who would periodically jump out in the aisles, and begin babbling in 'tongues', or fall to the floor in faux epileptic 'fits'.

What is your perception of Memorial Day in the USA?

davknight comments on May 30, 2019:

It was Abraham Lincoln who created this 'holiday'. He did so partly to honor the nation's military dead. And partly to appease 'God', and give 'God's' sanction to the bloody civil war then in progress. Like most people of his day, Lincoln was a very superstitious/religious man. And he believed that the reason the war was dragging on was because 'God' was angry at the country's 'sinfullness'. This is why he also made 'Thanksgiving' a national 'holiday'. Though he thought of it more as a 'national day of prayer' (thinking that if everybody prayed hard, 'God' would make the war end). Neither day was intended as an excuse for people to engage in drunkeness , and gluttony.
