Trump? Yes, yes I do. Our wall is going to be fantastic.
Suppose you heard Banno was run over by a train and that he was definitely not ok, what would you then do other than just sort of knowing it? Give me your best showing of concern.
Here's mine: Did you hear about Banno and the train? Sucks, no?

I would start collecting funds for a Banno Memorial... maybe similar to the Ground Zero thing in NYC. Or maybe like the Oklahoma City Federal Building Bombing Memorial... it was a bunch of twigs stuck in a fence.
From the Sydney (AU) Post: Train running over man delayed 90 minutes. Passengers irritated by delay.
BTW, it wasn't an accident. IF the train had arrived on time, the bomb on the bridge would have exploded and the train would have crashed into the flood-swolen river. A woman had been asked to choose between throwing Banno under the train, or killing the one authentic, oppressed, colonialized, colored, transgendered, intersectional feminist on the train. Since it was a woke middle-class female adjunct philosophy instructor who did the choosing, she, of course, opted to kill the white man. (See the thread "wtf is feminism these days".)

Since it's clear Banno will not be coming back, let us on this day hereby consider him dead. A eulogy is in order, but I am too emotional to begin. I will therefore turn the podium over to others to speak to all he was. The only thing I can muster at this difficult time is to say that unlike others who are struck down in the prime of their lives with so much more to give and so much more to say, Banno had lingered in good health far too long, having nothing more of value to give and nothing more to say.
And now I invite others to speak...

Reply to unenlightened Per your link... Only the most philistine slobs would serve a cocktail in a plastic cup. Even if your vodka comes in a plastic bottle and costs pocket change a pint, you wouldn't drink it out of a plastic cup. (Cheap vodka is properly consumed directly from the bottle. It may be passed if it's a communion.
I hope you buggers have somewhere to hide when he shows up.
The whiplash of his sarcasm will tear you to shreds.
The sharp prongs of his irony will pierce your shaking frames.
And if you are really honest, you all miss him. X-)
Speaking of PF members who haven't properly made it over here, I don't get why @busy (busycuttingcrap) hasn't joined in, despite actually joining last year. I recall that he, along with several others, wasn't happy about the way the TPF faction abandoned ship, but none of that matters now.
EDIT: Maw, too, though I don't think he's joined this site at all yet.

I don't know what to make of this either. He's been declared dead, his estate distributed, life insurance benefits handed out, eulogies said, wife remarried, children adopted, all his slaves freed. I inherited his cat mat. Must I return it?

Yet he was recently active at the old place, I noticed. Greyfrairs Bobby.
I also noticed that @SophistiCat has recently joined, and he was one of those several others that you referred to. Welcome to the forum, Sophisticat.
Reply to Sapientia Banno is busy proving that the law of the excluded middle doesn't apply to the concept of life. He is neither alive nor dead, but undead.
SO I updated my profile picture - I'm not allowed to upload images here yet.
My cup, as you can see, is now a hand-crafted ceramic, in shades of blue. The cat's mat has been upgraded to a scratching post, so Hanover, you are welcome to his old mat. Jack is pictured sharing my contempt for poor philosophy in its various forms.
Reply to Banno@Landru Guide Us joined a year ago but hasn't been seen for nine months. Things were pretty quiet at the time, so there probably weren't enough right-wing memes here to pique his ire.
P3: The evidence here shows that he refuses to stop talking.
C: Dead Australians can talk
Q.E.D.
Why "Banno was Australian" and not "Banno is Australian"? You seem to be implying that he isn't an Australian (any more). And if he isn't an Australian then he isn't a dead Australian. Therefore that he talks is not proof that dead Australians can talk.

I've been reading Geneology of Morals (after Gay Science). Paying closer attention to the parts I sort of ignored before.. the blond Aryan conquerors versus the darker primitive people. The assessment of democracy is that it endangers the purity of the blond Aryans (who were universally blond for some reason). Communism is a monstrous reversion to a primitive social structure resulting from the rise of the darkies.
So.. he said he dwelt with Schopenhauer to the point that it was just the two of them. That means he has to have known that the pale blond image is a myth.. a metaphor... a magic language that is bound to create pathos and pathology. Expression and creation are identical.
Per N, the Buddhist longing for nothingness is the same as the Christian mystic's longing for union with God. He thinks both forms of mysticism are nihilism cults.

In the meantime, I'll be him:
The cat is on the mat iff the cat is on the mat. Duck rabbit.

We could also use a bit of @180 Proof and a few others from the old crowd.

The old bastard has been appraised of your missing.
Oh no! That was mean. I take it back.
Oh no! That was mean. I stand by it.
I'm talking stupid so you can understand me.
Soon.

Of course he brought it, but it is not red anymore. Now it is invisible. :s
Now the question is "Is he still in the box?"

I have concluded that the post-truth politics of Trump is all his fault.
He should be here to defend himself.
I agree that Trump is his fault.

Can the dead have citizenship? If not then you can't be both dead and Australian.
OF course the dead have citizensjip.
They even vote in some places.
Q.E.D.
You don't lose your citizenship simply because you cease living.
Silly goose
Sometimes they vote twice and collect Social Security checks.
Ha! There ya go.
