Re: MAGA Dilemma: Taylor Swift vs 49er
Fortunately, that's exactly what happens to the team that wins. Every year. By definition. That's an overly simplistic response that leaves no room for the sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction that may follow a game depending on how well matched the teams were on that day. If both play excellen...

Re: If not Biden, who?
I imagine Gavin Newsome would have a great chance to beat Trump. But I've been surprised at how effective Biden has been, and wouldn't mind another 4 years with him. If it's between two old farts, I'll take the one who doesn't have delusions of dictatorship. Hell, I'll take the one who isn't an obvi...

Re: A Billionaire Who Makes Sense
I saw the segment this article was based on this morning. I thought Bill Maher made an interesting point about today's music and the obsession with bragging about having money and a bunch of expensive crap these days. The attitude expressed in these songs is pathetic. I have little doubt this is a c...

Re: The Insight of: The Three Stooges
Some Schmo, it seems reasonable to me to think that seeing violence in art would not create a desire to do violence. However, one might wonder about the situation of a person experiencing conflicting motivations towards and away from violence. I think most of the time violence portrayed shows reaso...

Re: The Insight of: The Three Stooges
This is a circa 1960 interview with the Three Stooges. So I got to this one part and time stamped it for your consideration. Because it purely sickened me. How so? It seemed pretty wholesome to me. I was confused by this too. I suspect (and Jersey Girl, you can correct me if I'm wrong - in fact, I ...

Re: A Billionaire Who Makes Sense
I read this article ( To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep voting for him. Psychologists may have the answer ) and it made me think of this thread. American culture is mired in BS values. I really wish I understood that earlier in life. Americans are impressed by mirages. The contest se...

Re: MAGA Dilemma: Taylor Swift vs 49er
Well, I've been a 49er fan since the 80's. I'd like to see them win it again.Dr. Shades wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 6:46 pmWhy? What’s the difference?Some Schmo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 3:38 pmMan, I hope the Niners crush the Chiefs (but I have very little hope they will).
I don't mind the Chiefs, but they have some fans I'd like to see humbled.

Re: MAGA Dilemma: Taylor Swift vs 49er
Normally, MAGAs would boo San Francisco but this time they are playing against the Kansas City Chief's Taylor Swift who has avowed to encourage young people to vote. Taylor Swift doesn't play for the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift plays for Kelce who is a KC Chief. Man, I hope the Niners crush the Chief...

Re: Religious "None" for President
All I'm saying is that for the most people to be represented, we need a non-religious president. I will say I was being a little tongue-in-cheek. That was what confused me, as religious Americans vastly outnumber non-religious Americans. Not only that, the beliefs of the largest part of the nones (...

Re: Religious "None" for President
Religion is intellectual comfort food. Going to church is like eating a pint of ice cream in one sitting and then wondering later why you don't feel right, never thinking to blame the sugary frozen dairy. That doesn't happen to me. It doesn't happen to me anymore. I've learned my lessons. No more c...
