    I never was going with any spherical objects moving through space and time. I was good a weightlifting - though my body is not longer able to do that - broken disc in back and arthritis in hands means I need to be careful with any of that. I was an OK runner in my 40s and 50s - but now, I'm a back of the pack runner. It's all OK. "Don't mean a hill of beans" in the big scheme of things - but still fun to be in the game.

    @george-k said in Sanitary Collapse?: @doctor-phibes said in Sanitary Collapse?: Their take on how bad it was seemed to be somewhat at odds with what the government were saying at the time. 'Very, very bad' was how he described it. China hides something? C'mon man! How are things there now, or won't he say? I haven't talked to him in a while other than about work stuff - he was a customer rather than a colleague, but one who I know fairly well.

    @taiwan_girl said in DNI says Covid came from one of two sources: Kind of funny statement. Are there any other ways the virus could have come from? Natural from wild animal man made from lab space man?? ??? I am not a virus specialist, but the two theories they say are pretty obvious. LOL (I think think it came from a wild animal, but who knows) The problem with the wild animal theory is that it has never been found in a wild animal.

    The MSM refuses to criticize Maxine or defend her. That’s all you need to know. Ignore it and it will go away. Magic.

    For some reason, people who don't pay much in taxes never get much benefit when taxes are reduced.

    I knew her from one of Disney's children's shows "That's So Random" when she was a "child star." Whatever she did, she got George to click on and re-post her news here, and now you all know about her too.

    @doctor-phibes said in Felons and Guns: @jolly said in Felons and Guns: @doctor-phibes said in Felons and Guns: @mik said in Felons and Guns: @doctor-phibes said in Felons and Guns: How oddly American that the thing people worry about for somebody getting convicted of a felony is that they won't be able to own guns any more What you are saying is it's oddly American to hold the government to the Constitution. I would disagree, No, what I'm saying is it's odd to focus on guns. Of all the problems that former felons have to contend with, this is a peculiar thing to worry about. Sure, they can't get decent employment, or decent housing, they're going to struggle with potential drug problems, etc. etc. . But what we really need to ensure is that they can legally buy a firearm. As I believe I've said before, when people want to get focused on stupid shit, one of the first things they frequently do is mention the Constitution. I consider the right to self-defense a pretty big deal. That God-given and Constitutional right must be balanced against the crime that the person has committed and his proclivity to commit a crime of violence. When you take those rights away, you are walking over pretty sacrosanct ground. That's a BFD. I agree it should be heard by the SCOTUS. My opinions regarding guns are very different from yours. Probably because you don't shoot worth a damn.
