Whoops! Ax beat me to it...😬

None of this matters... these kids really love our country, they just have a different view from us, there is no right and wrong, and all sides are equal. Besides, even if they are part of a larger problem it still doesn't matter since it will take another 10-20 years for any damage to come from it.

I know this is true because I heard it here on the forum......

Mao's war on culture?

@jon-nyc I guess somewhat equal to the old sailing ships where someone would climb to the top of the sail pole and look for obstacles.

BTW, very cool picture. I love old pictures of history.

Yes, good article. I'm concerned about Aqua though. He has been making a lot of sense lately, at least to me. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Regarding the article: When I was in grad school, in my first seminar the prof stated that if anyone turned in anything using only the male pronoun, the grade would be an instant F with no appeals accepted. He was a former college president, Univ. of California, Irvine. Absolutely brilliant, and a true Liberal in the best sense of the term, way ahead of his time.

@Jolly That was interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Mmmmmm.... PIE!!!

@kluurs said in Hey, Klaus! A "German" question:

Tangentally related to how I passed German in high school. I could make der, die and das all sound identical if mumbled quickly.

@George-K said in Kawasaki:

The more I read about this virus the more I thought it's not as simple as a pulmonary infection. In fact, it looks more like something that attacks the vasculature, and the pulmonary effects are the result of that.

Now, this:
