Really sorry Zonk nd WizPride. My condolences to each of you.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

I know the feeling.

My cousin passed away Friday.

Went to hospital a few weeks ago with complications from diabetes.

They think he may have contracted COVID in the hospital. :-?


Haven't been on the board for a while. I imagine things are crazy for everyone. My condolences to you and Zonk brother.

To me, this is extremely misleading. There are a myriad of problems with out healthcare infrastructure - this is just one of them.

So all the blubbering, gibbering, ranting from the White House and Treasurer about Harvard taking millions from the recent legislative small business bailouts was... the United Clowns of America lying to us yet again. Harvard not only hasn't gotten any of that money, they never even applied for it. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trumps-harvard-coronavirus-172416250.html

And even if they had... why in the hell are they passing legislation that would allow things that they don't want to happen? Is it that they're all stupid, or they just don't give a ****? It's one or the other.

It is what happens when you have a serial liar as POTUS. That is the standard they hold.
