Get the horny people out on the streets? Wouldn’t that make it worse? :razz: Otherwise, an accurate diagnosis, Dr. Freud! Add in spring fever... (Mayb...

Thanks for the insightful reply, Sir BC. :smile: Probably that would be the case. Maybe not such a bad thing perhaps. Breathing oxygen is so unremarka...

Not necessarily so. Watching football on the telly is normal, but not obligatory. There is a big leap between the concepts of “acceptable behavior” an...

Why would it necessarily be obligatory or a dogma? Could it not be optional? Although, to be fair, if others are doing such in the vicinity it is impo...

Thanks for your interesting reply. The word “obscene” might be key. According to this etymology site, obscene derives from Latin “ob” (in front of) an...

The egg belongs to neither you nor me. The egg belongs to the bird. (duh... lol).

Is Buddhism a philosophy or a religion? Yes. But for purposes of this forum, considering it a philosophy might be useful. To break it down instead of ...

@"unenlightened" Just noticed this thread, been away for a while. Interesting. Western philosophy doesn’t give nearly as much attention to this questi...

From a recording, I’ve only watched the first 45 minutes or so, pausing and rewinding (do you “rewind” a DVR? Lol.) First off FWIW, I want Biden to wi...

Really interesting and in-depth article here from the Jacobin website about the whole Bernie Sanders experiment, and the future implications for Ameri...

Well... I heard on talk radio (the Lush Rimbaud show, so you know it MUST be true)... that there’s a giant 30 foot tall Black Chinese Commie living in...

Yep, definitely. I idly wonder if “Covid Never Happened” how their spin would have been different. Probably much more positive: “the Economy is great!...

:lol: I didn’t think of that. Let’s gridlock the whole system! Erm... I mean even more than it is already...

Yes, it’s so simple a child could figure out the future of the USA. Don’t know why that even have an age requirement to vote. And they will promise to...

Wait, I don’t get it... why is the dog staring contemplatively after eating philosophy... oh, I get it now. :grin: I’ve tried learning by osmosis, but...

Yep. When the president is the lapdog of trillionaires and multi-national corporations, we all know which way things are going to go. :up: What’s that...

:lol: Good point. This is the kind of reasonable pragmatic thinking we need, lol! Oh most definitely. The two-party system is so tight, sleazy, and co...

The choice of Kamala Harris over Elizabeth Warren is symbolic at least of the DNC path now. It’s like they are telling their corporate backers: “Don’t...

Thanks for playing along. I can totally see your reasoning, because half my mind (more or less) is in the same ballpark. I’m just trying to imagine th...

Well... Despite the personal references to myself in the OP, I really DON’T wish to make this all about me. If it helps a little, substitute the words...

Well, I never promised that this kamikaze mission would be without any risks. The Dems at least pretend to care. Guess that is worth something. But as...

Ok, fair enough. Biden if elected might (MIGHT) do better than some on that list. Maybe. And no quibble about douchiness of Hairy S. Trumpman. Vanilla...

Here’s a secret surveillance video of our dear beloved and fearless Leader in his dressing room (he’s adorable in his undies) preparing for upcoming d...

:up: Exactly. And many post offices are REDUCING their hours, and eliminating lunchtime services. Subtle as a brick to the head...

@"NOS4A2" Trite conspiracy? More like circumstantial evidence. Not proof. But where there’s smirk, there’s often fire. USPS answers directly to you kn...

Thoughtful and in-depth argument. Mystery solved. ‘Kthxbye! If Huff Post is too leftist, here is the latest from CNN. Appears that the mailbox removal...

For the first part of his term, Chump seemed (except to his rabid fans) to be more “dick” than “dictator”. Now, McDonald seems to be trying very hard ...

Remember the movie Poltergeist? (The original one). The dad in the movie works for a real estate developer who cuts corners bigtime. He not only build...

Am I reading this correctly? Is Chump actually ordering US mailboxes to be carted away? Well, if so... thankfully there’s a contingency plan for maili...

Umm, what? :chin: Just calling it like I see it. Not going to make excuses for anybody’s actions, whatever “side” they are on. Though left-leaning, I ...

:up: Yep. (Unfortunately). When someone on the far left starts to wonder if there’s an upside to a Chump/Pants second term... not good. (“When’s the n...

Kamala! She’s black, she’s definitely not a socialist, and best of all... she’s not Hilary! Hooray... :roll: Kamala is black. Yes. Does she have “soul...

Who’s the VP for Joe? Here with an expert opinion is Professor Frink and his latest invention, the Election-Tron 3000. “According to my calculations u...

Nice weather lately. Almost nice enough to do yard work. Almost.

Sir, the License and Entitlement Bureau is two doors down. So sorry! :razz:

With the exception of minute quibbles, I would agree with this, as well as the rest of the OP. We can word the situation this way or that, propose var...

Global meta-problems such as (possible) overpopulation are all interlinked and interrelated. This is not to deny, dismiss, or underestimate any of the...

First of all (to be completely clear), I believe systemic racism DOES EXIST. And existing now, therefore it has existed for at least since the time of...

As a possibly humorous aside... When I hear someone say that it is morally wrong (or weak or whatever) to vote for either candidate of the two dinosau...

Interesting! Personally, I could live with the choice of Harris. (Though Joe hasn’t called me yet to get my thoughts on the issue.) You think DT will ...

Well, one would be fortunate to live within such a system. I’m envious, totally green jello, lol. I imagine that there is abusive / dysfunctional fami...

More random Biden and 2020 USA election thoughts... 1. Two questions: Who do you think Biden WILL pick for VP nominee? And who do you WANT as VP? Pers...

There... was that so hard? :grin: But seriously... Yes, I agree that the Clinton-Obama-Biden status quo has holes so big you could sail a corona cruis...

:nerd: ha! (But please don’t start a meme duel that can have no winner, lol. Now excuse me while i search dankmeme.com...)

And now, a short musical interlude... (pardon if this was already posted.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeT6Aeof4Ok Quite a graceful dancer and sin...

Interesting thought... reprogramming our minds, washing out the brainwashing, so to speak. In some ways, I think I’ve tried something similar. And sti...

Thank you kindly, sir. :pray:

(From a baseball scandal 100 years ago, to a current political one... history repeats itself. Um, kinda.) Scene: A small girl (protected by a face mas...

Thanks, hadn’t noticed that one. Will check it out. :up:

Wow, that is good news! With everything going on, might be the nicest news I’ve heard in a while. It’s still early in the process, but it’s inspiring....
