Anytime I bang on a wall in my house my dogs go crazy. They take it as a sign that someone is at my front door. Maybe this is how communication works....

That makes sense. I didn't think about that. I had read that there had never been a significant downturn in housing prices, so people just didn't fact...

Ah. I don't think Fannie and Freddie caused the 2008 crisis, though. It was derivatives, right?

What massive government run banks? The only government run bank is the Fed.

They could build a golf course through the graveyards where 70% of the dead are women and children.

That is the craziest shit I have ever heard. Let's do it!!

When you're cost cutting, that's also a good time to eliminate entities that may have harassed you in the past, and those who might one day. They have...

What's your theory on why he wants Canada and Greenland? I just assumed somebody told him that both those areas will be prime real estate in the futur...

He didn't have any ideology the first time around. He does now. That was my point. But you know the European aristocracy said the same thing about the...

I'll have to think about that.

I was thinking along these lines (imagine Quine and Davidson discussing reference): Quine: Because differing conceptual schemes could be in play, refe...

:lol: He's also not God.

:up:

I loved what I thought the USA stood for. I'm broken hearted. This isn't really the place for that kind of expression though. It would be like crying ...

Step back and try to understand what's happening as if you're reading a history book. Be the psychologist, the anthropologist, the philosopher, etc...

I'm not inclined to debate the issue.

No, it isn't. It's a theological issue.

No, it isn't. It's a theological issue related to fact that some early Christians were Neoplatonists.

There were Christian sects that didn't believe that Jesus was God, the Arians, for instance. Those groups died out and the Catholic view became standa...

Why do you think he wants Greenland and Canada?

As long as the Soviet Union appeared to be an existential threat, the US government could be consistent over time. As a lone superpower, there are no ...

:smile: Cutting costs is a veil for eliminating opposition.

Thank you

And Trump's approval rating is at an all time high. This is what Americans want.

Wow. There's a lot of strong emotions about this.

Thanks for the blessing. I am having a nice life.

I feel like the USA I grew up in is gone. It seems alien to me, but I think Trump's vision of securing Canada and Greenland is genius. I know how weir...

I believe we're watching the emergence of an authoritarian state spanning North America and Greenland. This kind of thing happens all the time in hist...

There's a bunch of those. They're all pretty funny.

No, it's true. The US has struggled with the problem for decades. There is no solution within the framework of democracy. I doubt it.

In a democracy there is no way to limit government spending. Only an entity who does not answer to the people can do that. It's kind of bizarre that i...

Most of the wood Americans use comes from Canada. Canada doesn't require the sustainability rules for harvesting wood that Americans do. It would bene...

Right. Maybe have the countries that are dependent on us stop fucking us over.

The US was an oddity. Countries don't usually behave magnanimously the way it used to, giving out aid, supporting the UN, fostering democracy in the w...

I approve of that. Nicely done.

Maybe for a tiny banana.

Alright. :up:

For what?

What about being apathetic about Zionism? Is that Judeo-apathy?

Specifically, Trump wants to make Canada a state. 90% of the Canadian population lives on the border, and from what numerous Canadians have told me, a...

You can say that again!

You guys will probably be annexed after Greenland.

Seems ominous that we haven't heard anything about fusion lately. :worry: But there's the thorium reactor. Maybe.

I support life in all its forms. :love:

He's just a Canadian waiting for civilization to break down so he can finally get some peace of mind.

They didn't actually cancel Black History month.

Thank you! I hadn't heard of House of Leaves. I got a copy to read.

Fascinating, thanks!

I would rather you stayed, so no using AI as an authority.
