"Once an election is over and you win, why are you still angry?" he said. "I think it’s a lack of maturity on her part, and a lack of political acumen, for her to be that petty. We as Democrats better figure out who the real enemy is. And it’s not each other." Rep. Lacy Clay (D., Mo.)

“The Federal Court is an appropriate venue for these cases and provides those affected with the opportunity for a timely resolution. Years of drawn out litigation and hearings are not in the best interest of victims, the community and those still healing,” Debra DeShong, a spokeswoman for MGM ResortsQuote III

I guess the Koran doesn't address the 'Thou shalt not covet shit' thing.
Mariya Oktybrskaya was one of those Russian women who didn’t want to watch the war from the sidelines. She would also be one of the women who would make skeptical men to eat their words. Born into a poor Crimean peasant family, Oktybrskaya reportedly enthusiastically embraced the ideals espoused by the leaders of the Russian Revolution was a firm communist. Some accounts state that she first became interested in military matters after marrying army officer Ilya Oktyabrskaya, declaring, “Marry a serviceman, and you serve in the army.
Within the world created by the various apps I used, I got plenty of shares and retweets. But this masked how ineffective I had become outside, in the real world. The only causes I was actually contributing to were the causes of mobbing and public shaming. Real change does not stem from these tactics. They only cause division, alienation, and bitterness.
It all boils down to the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Doesn't it?
Rising sea levels may change our coastlines and give some home owners new beachfront property, but among the myriad of real problems the world will experience, we can add one more: internet outages. New research mapped out the U.S.’s internet infrastructure and overlaid that patchwork of cables, power stations, and data transfer stations with a map of proposed sea level rise, National Geographic reports. The result was not pretty. In the next 15 years, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables will be flooded with rising ocean waters. While some of this hardware can deal with water from time to time, none of it was built to withstand the rigors of being permanently submerged.

I was home alone with my son today when a salesman came to the door wanting to know who my cable provider was. He was very pushy. Wanted to come in the house. I said no, of course. Said he would come back later, and then just parked in the road in front of my neighbor's house. By the time hubby got home he was gone. Creepy. Be careful out there, Ettes!

Willowed:
Preliminary text of my felony complaint against the Governor of the Virgin Islands and the National Guard troops involved:
On or about September 7, 2017, as part of the preparations for an expected strike of Hurricane Irma, the governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Kenneth Mapp, ordered the National Guard to seize lawfully owned firearms and ammunition from residents of this U.S. Territory. Each weapon seized is an individual felony count of violation of 18 U.S. Code 242. (Since the National Guard troops were armed at the time.) The appropriate section of 18 U.S. Code 242 reads as follows:
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States...
The governor was apparently acting under color of some law granting him some sort of emergency power. That does not matter, as 18 U.S. Code 242 says, no law may override constitutional rights. His action and the actions of the National Guard troops involved, directly deprived the victims of their second amendment rights to keep and bear arms, and are, without question, textbook violations of 18 U.S. Code 242.
I have filed these charges as soon as became aware of the actions of the Governor and National Guardsmen.

I bought two pounds of marijuana once, actually a little more than two. A kilo. Big brick of it all double wrapped in foil and then clear plastic.
My roommate and I split the cost, got it on the table at the apartment, opened it up, fluffed it all out, and stood dumbfounded at the size of the pile.
I remember that scene vividly. What I cannot recall at all is smoking any of it, or how long it lasted.

You could call the non-emergency number for your local police and ask if there is something hinky going on in your area. This sounds highly suspicious and the police do sometimes report that there is a pattern of scammers and thieves trying to trick people into letting them in the house.

To Dissolve The People And Elect Another
Those who say that having a problem with a massive influx of immigrants with a high fertility index to a country whose native population is in a population death spiral are "racist" and "paranoid" about being eliminated as a people, might not want to validate the "racists" by... calling for the abolition of their people. The Huffington Post (Germany) put out a piece that was entitled: "Turn around us! Why the German people should be abolished" (trans.).

America's 'prosperity is based on the want that is experienced in other parts of the world'
--
Did Ellison just say that America is prosperous because the rest of the world is poor? Did he mean that America appears to be prosperous because the rest of the world doesn't have what we have?
(Doing a random walk through youtube I discovered a few videos of mult-billion dollar yachts that were literally gold plated and I don't think they were owned by Americans.)

In the next 15 years, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables will be flooded with rising ocean waters. While some of this hardware can deal with water from time to time, none of it was built to withstand the rigors of being permanently submerged.
That which is up on poles can somehow handle rain, that in the ground is designed to be submerged. And the next 15 years?
This is one reason enough to no longer subscribe to NatGeo.

I recall an old Miss Manners column, about how people don't have the right to disturb you when you're busy. For example, in the bath.
This was written back when everyone had land lines and mostly no answering machines. Normally people ran to answer the phone.
But, this is not something you are required to do. Nor answer the door. I often don't answer the door. It's rude to demand that I do so.

Duties of civil authorities:
(2236) The exercise of authority is meant to give outward expression to a just hierarchy of values in order to facilitate the exercise of freedom and responsibility by all. Those in authority should practice distributive justice wisely, taking account of the needs and contribution of each, with a view to harmony and peace. They should take care that the regulations and measures they adopt are not a source of temptation by setting personal interest against that of the community.
Emphasis mine.

I bought two pounds of marijuana once, actually a
little more than two. A kilo. Big brick of it all double wrapped in
foil and then clear plastic.
My roommate and I split the cost, got it on the table at the
apartment, opened it up, fluffed it all out, and stood dumbfounded at
the size of the pile.
I remember that scene vividly. What I cannot recall at all is smoking any of it, or how long it lasted.

Junior year, the guys down the hall (aka party room, always with a bevy of beautiful girls hanging around) started the year off right. They had acquired (don't know how) a hay bale-sized stash of wacky weed. No exaggeration, it was a hay bale.
Now these guys had a plan. They would sell most of it to other pot heads, enough to buy 2 hay bales next time, and smoke the remainder for themselves. Great plan. What actually happened was they smoked so much themselves, keeping the pretty girl platoon ready, willing, and able, that they forgot to ever go and market their wares. Or go to class, apparently. Or take a test.

Here's a fun story about Mark Twain... he was once challenged to a duel.
When he just Sam Clemens, local newspaper editor in Missouri, he wrote a couple of pretty scathing editorials about a local lawyer (whose name I forget).
That lawyer challenged Sam to a duel, and Sam accepted.
Problem is, Sam wasn't much of a marksman. He had a friend who was pretty good at shooting, though, so asked that friend for some training. His replied, "You're dueling him? Oh, you're screwed. That guy is a terrific marksman."
They met a little while before the duel for a crash course. Sam, it turned out, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. He grumbled that there must be something wrong with the gun.
His friend, the owner of that gun, got annoyed. He grabbed the gun, took aim at a tiny sparrow, like, fifty feet away, and blew it into a cloud of feathers. He then handed the gun back to Sam and said, basically, "It's not the gun, dipshit."
That was the moment Sam's opponent stepped around the corner. He had just seen that sparrow explode, and he now saw Sam holding a still-smoking revolver. Sam, thinking fast, said, "Oh, yeah, I totally did that! You, uh, ready for that duel, now?"
"Naah, uh... you know what? We're good." The guy backed down.

Lucky you. I was the designated black sheep.
Posted by: Insomniac at July 18, 2018 10:09 PM (NWiLs)
Apologies in advance for the whine session and block of text below... ;-)
I was never the 'black sheep' per se, but I'm the one no one takes seriously about anything, even now when I finally *am* achieving some things (that I should have achieved in my life 20-25 years ago, but still).
Re the vacation thing I told you all about a few days ago: it's looking like maybe, just maybe everything will come together... but now I'm getting a lot of pushback: "Why do you have to spend TWO WHOLE NIGHTS at Morongo?!? Why do we all have to spend so long there?? Why is it so important to you to spend the night?? Whimper whine whine whimper..."
This goes back to the fact that again, I feel like no one respects my decisions. I have family members who, no matter HOW long they drive or HOW far away someplace is, are happy spending just ONE night, and then coming right back.
Me? I'm of the opinion that the further away someplace is, and the *more effort* it takes to get there? I want to spend more time.
I just don't get this POV of, let's work hard all day long to get somewhere. And then when you get there, you barely get enough time to enjoy it before you gotta stuff yourself back into the car and hit the road again. That's not a vacation to me. And I have explained this to my family over and over and over again. I've also explained that if I want my teenaged niece and nephew to be able to enjoy the 'lazy river pool' at Morongo, we have to spend the night there, at least one night.
But none of these explanations stick with them. They just keep banging at me. "Why do we have to spend so much time?!?!?"
Like you all said, I think I need to just start planning my own vacations, by myself, in the future. They never seem to want to compromise either; just, "I'm right and you're wrong!" I can't seem to get the bare minimum amount of respect I need, if I want anyone else to join me.

Bill Nye explains what would happen if all the sea ice melted
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at July 18, 2018 10:21 PM (IqV8l)
The earth would absorb more solar heat due to the loss of the reflective ice caps; the hotter oceans would release more water vapor which would precipitate increasing the perenial snow and ice pack; resulting in a new ice age with a few thousand years?

Peter Strzok was working in a joint CIA/FBI position when he investigated Clinton. He was part of a special position called "Section 811", making him a sort of hybrid FBI/CIA employee. His position was Section Chief, Counterespionage (that's not his FBI title).
Within the text messages he crows about receiving a CIA coin from John Brennan.

Politics aside, that is crazy all right. Given the way he testified with the smirky demeanor, he comes across as someone who has the emotional development of a 12 year old, middle school brat. I can't understand why anyone would give him a promotion unless his daddy owns the company. It makes you wonder just how low the standards are in federal agencies.
I have to give props to the people who questioned him in that they had the self control to not bitch slap him.

So a few weeks ago at the bar, a few beers in, I was having a conversation with a former Buffalo resident relocated South.
For some reason the topic of homosexuality came up and he posited that homosexuality was genetic. I asked him, that if homosexuality was genetic, why wouldn't things like pedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia, etc also be genetic.
He said it wasn't the same. I countered that if sexual predilection is hardwired via DNA, that would invariably mean ALL sexual predisposition is merely a genetic code. That to rationalize otherwise would be like saying brown eyes and blue eyes were genetic, but green eyes or hazel eyes were not.
Long story, somewhat shortened, he got very angry with me to the point of yelling at me.
Today, I came across this TED speech where this is exactly the new trope being pushed.
I know others in the Horde have been with me in recognizing that normalizing pedophilia is the next step in sexual deviancy.
Thought I'd share the link...

So... there's a delicious story at Zero Hedge.
Seems Putin wants to chat up Obama's Russian Ambassador.
The guy actually tweets: "Did he [Putin] suggest that I was part of some alleged money laundering scheme?"
Umm... no one said anything about money laundering.
Except Obamas former ambassador.
LOL.

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at July 18, 2018 10:21 PM (IqV8l)
And the answer is: absolutely nothing. Sea ice, by definition, is floating, and therefore in equilibrium with water below. Prove it to yourself. Float an ice cube in a tumbler of water, and fill the tumbler to the brim with a dropper. Let the ice melt.

For some reason the topic of homosexuality came up and he posited that homosexuality was genetic. I asked him, that if homosexuality was genetic, why wouldn't things like pedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia, etc also be genetic.
He said it wasn't the same. I countered that if sexual predilection is hardwired via DNA, that would invariably mean ALL sexual predisposition is merely a genetic code. That to rationalize otherwise would be like saying brown eyes and blue eyes were genetic, but green eyes or hazel eyes were not.
Long story, somewhat shortened, he got very angry with me to the point of yelling at me.
Today, I came across this TED speech where this is exactly the new trope being pushed.
I know others in the Horde have been with me in recognizing that normalizing pedophilia is the next step in sexual deviancy.

It's worse than that, and proof that they're stupid. Surely they realize that, if various sexual deviancies were in fact genetic, in the Mendelian sense, they've just provided an excellent rationale for eugenics?
My take: said deviancies are not strictly genetic, in the Mendelian sense, but rather result from the confluence of genetic predispositions that lead to developmental errors. For example, lower/higher testosterone levels in utero, or lower/higher affinity in testosterone receptors in the fetus in utero.
In that respect, rather like cleft palate, a combination of genetic, environmental factors, and plain bad luck.

If Gay was genetic, as Gay people do not breed anywhere near the rate of straights...
Wouldn't it die out in a few generations? Vice what we are seeing today? where it seems to be expanding?
Even a recessive Gene that is counter procreation, would eventually die out.

On a sunny note, today I saw a Prius stranded on the side of the 4 lane US Hwy.
When I drove back in the opposite direction an hour plus later, someone was fueling up the car with a gas can.
Yes, I broke out laughing out loud in my car.

My take: said deviancies are not strictly genetic, in the Mendelian sense, but rather result from the confluence of genetic predispositions that lead to developmental errors. For example, lower/higher testosterone levels in utero, or lower/higher affinity in testosterone receptors in the fetus in utero.
In that respect, rather like cleft palate, a combination of genetic, environmental factors, and plain bad luck.

But how does that reconcile other deviancy, or are the two separate (essentially homosexuality and heterosexuality are hormonally driven, but other deviancy is strictly a mental disorder)?

If Gay was genetic, as Gay people do not breed anywhere near the rate of straights...
Wouldn't it die out in a few generations? Vice what we are seeing today? where it seems to be expanding?
Even a recessive Gene that is counter procreation, would eventually die out.
Posted by: Don Q at July 18, 2018 10:48 PM (NgKpN)
Which is why I reject the straight (?) Mendelian genetic hypothesis.
Consider instead my conjecture: there is a (probably genetic) range of sexual hormone secretion in the mother's blood, there is a (probably genetic) range of sexual hormone sensitivity in the receptors in the fetus, and when those two factors wobble one way you get a hypermasculine male child, or a lesbian female one, or vice versa, but generally in a case of physiological vector addition, you get something in between, i.e., normal.

Ken Levine, who unfortunately has (like all his H'wood buddies) been melting down lately over Trump, just wrote a piece at his blog, where he admits he wrote a short play for a playwright festival that was political-oriented.
He admits he wrote a quickie two-actor play with his own anti-Trump/anti-GOP agenda, and that it was easy for him. So easy in fact, he feels like he kind of shortchanged himself and the audience. But on the other hand, he between-the-lines admits he wouldn't want to challenge himself enough to write anything else. So he's conflicted. Anyway, it's an interesting piece.

Gay doesn't "die out" because the relationship between a gay individual and society, when looked at in terms of pure survivability, is the same relationship as that between a healthy body and a non-metastasizing cancer cell. It will eventually die off, but disease always returns. It's simply a perversion of the original copy, literally.

Skandia, I can relate to that.
At my longest-lasting job, they needed me so much, they wouldn't allow me to really use any of my vacation time. At the same time, they had no respect for me (which I allowed), and refused to treat me as if I had any value.
Part of the reason I'm frankly sick of the whole working world. Bosses *always* want everything both ways. They want 100% loyalty, effort and results, but they don't ever want to have to pay what that level of quality is worth.

So you more or less believe it is a medical malady, generally with a pre-natal origin. That's an interesting though with homosexuality.
But how does that reconcile other deviancy, or are the two separate (essentially homosexuality and heterosexuality are hormonally driven, but other deviancy is strictly a mental disorder)?
Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 18, 2018 10:51 PM (PUbuW)
First off, in the interests of full disclosure, I have no idea what I'm talking about, and am probably full of shit.
Having said that, I'd say I suspect deviancies fall into two broad classes, hetero- and homosexual.
Hyperheterosexual deviants I could see going in (?) for bestiality (any hole will do, species a secondary consideration), necrophilia (physiological status flexible), etc.
Notice that my conjecture accounts for the curious observation that male homosexuals traditionally act like females (interested in fashion, hair dressing, interior decorating, etc.), whereas female homosexuals traditionally go butch (overalls, flannel shirts, short haircuts, walk like sailors).
Most people reject as noxious the notion that hormones affect - maybe even control - behavior. To them I say, "How interested were you in the opposite sex when you were 10? How about when you were 15?"
QED.

Having said that, I'd say I suspect deviancies fall into two broad classes, hetero- and homosexual.
Hyperheterosexual deviants I could see going in (?) for bestiality (any hole will do, species a secondary consideration), necrophilia (physiological status flexible), etc.
Notice that my conjecture accounts for the curious observation that male homosexuals traditionally act like females (interested in fashion, hair dressing, interior decorating, etc.), whereas female homosexuals traditionally go butch (overalls, flannel shirts, short haircuts, walk like sailors).
Most people reject as noxious the notion that hormones affect - maybe even control - behavior. To them I say, "How interested were you in the opposite sex when you were 10? How about when you were 15?"
QED.

Act in good faith. Follow the laws and rules. Supply experts, facts and laws and case laws. And in the end a judge will ignore it all if it means ruling in favor of a mom because feelz or something. Leave a courtroom after 5 years saying it will take a while to go over all the facts and case laws and evidence and affidavits and witnesses while mom produces nothing and gives a ruling at the last second that based on her notes this is it.
What a waste of time and resources and energy for about 12 people and putting my kids through this shit.
I've never been so destroyed as I am right now. It makes no sense. I have no idea how to start over or where to begin or anything.

But that does not explain twins, where one is gay, and one is straight...
Posted by: Don Q at July 18, 2018 10:57 PM (NgKpN)/i]
Sure it does. Are the two twins necessarily of the same size? Of equal athletic ability? They're genetically identical, but not necessarily entirely identical in their in utero environments.
I don't say that my conjecture accounts for all of the observations, necessarily, but I think it accounts for most of them.
I also think that environment does play a role, sometimes a crucial one. Suppose one of the twins is molested at a formative age, say on the cusp on puberty. Could that influence the future trajectory of his life? Of course it could.

on this topic, we should note that Male homosexuality quite a different thing than female homosexuality. Most of the male homosexuals I've known admire women, identify with women, want to be more like women. On the other hand, the vast majority of the female homosexuals I've known hate men and do not want to have anything to do with me. Also, those I have known have usually ended up relating that it stems from a time when they were badly mistreated and abused by a male authority figure, usually a close relative.

I think the bigger question regarding genetic predisposition is how we are to view it in the social contract.
The assumption has always been that if you are "born that way", we should then stop seeking to view an issue/activity/trait as a problem. The logic following along the lines of "he/she couldn't help it, it's a genetic compulsion ergo learn to accept it and stop villifying it".
That seems plausible when two consenting adults are deviant and there is no and apparent victim (though statistics show a shortened life span, higher rate of depression,suicide and STD, higher rates of anal cancer, etc among homosexuals).
But how are we to view a pedophile that is "genetically compelled"? Or for that matter a high-T male that is more predisposed to violence?
I'm sure John Stuart Mill could draw the line for us as to where we draw the line, unfortunately, given examples of judges taking children from their parents to allow them to undergo sexual reassignment (a misnomer) and the blurring of the lines as to what defines one's nose, I hold little belief that post-modernist thinkers will stop at what might be considered a logical line.

Funny story. 12 years ago we wanted to adopt two 3-year-old kitties from some Cat Rescue in SoCal. The interview was more intense than many job interviews I've had, and they insisted on seeing our home to make sure we would be proper "pet guardians" or whatever the PC term was.
So they ask us how much we're willing to spend to care for the cats if they have health issues. I'm afraid to say something too low for fear of being rejected, so I say "$50,000." My wife gave me that WTF look.
Anyway, we keep track of all our expenses, and now both cats have Chronic Kidney Disease -- our house has become an Assisted Living Facility for cats. And, so far, we've spent over $30,000 caring for them.
I've probably spent $500 over that period on my OWN health care ...

I would hate to see what I've spent on our dogs since 1982. We've had 2 spend time at the U of WI Vet School, been to countless ERs, our kitchen cupboard looks like a damn pharmacy.
Ours are so spoiled sounds like yours are to ShainS
Funny story. 12 years ago we wanted to adopt two 3-year-old kitties from some Cat Rescue in SoCal. The interview was more intense than many job interviews I've had, and they insisted on seeing our home to make sure we would be proper "pet guardians" or whatever the PC term was.
So they ask us how much we're willing to spend to care for the cats if they have health issues. I'm afraid to say something too low for fear of being rejected, so I say "$50,000." My wife gave me that WTF look.
Anyway, we keep track of all our expenses, and now both cats have Chronic Kidney Disease -- our house has become an Assisted Living Facility for cats. And, so far, we've spent over $30,000 caring for them.

I say again, consider the converse, my brother. I'd have gotten further in academia if I'd played along to get along with things I fundamentally found repulsive. But I didn't, and paid a price.
And I'm glad I did. And would do it again. Gladly.

Thinking back to college days I remember far more women "experimenting" then men. And pretty much all those women ended up married to a guy.

This.
Hence the LUD (lesbian until graduation) phenomenon. Sexual gratification, with no chance of pregnancy.
Furthermore, note that men are MUCH more prone to fetishes, i.e., abnormal sexual fixations. When do you hear about women who are into rubber, or shoes (OK, forget that one), or whatever? Males become imprinted at an early age, and like Konrad Lorenz's ducks, follow that forever.

Or, at least this time, they could come for part of the time and you could stay longer at the resort on your own. That way you'd have their company part of the time, and the rest of the time do things you like.
I took one of those bus tour vacations to Europe alone, and had a great time. But I'm a bit of a loner and really don't mind doing things alone. On some of these tours and cruises you end up spending some of your time socializing with others.

Also, some advice for the new kitten: when we adopted two cats from the shelter, they advised us to keep them in one room for a week or so to get used to us and the new environment. So we put them in the guest room with the kitty litter box and fed them in there. Made sure to spend time with them in the room playing (too soon to really pet). Just a tip for a new pet.

About the only hope at this stage is that somewhere down the line she'll make a mistake. But that's a thin hope.

Notice that my conjecture accounts for the curious observation that male homosexuals traditionally act like females (interested in fashion, hair dressing, interior decorating, etc.), whereas female homosexuals traditionally go butch (overalls, flannel shirts, short haircuts, walk like sailors).
....
Not to tit-for-tat you, but maybe to consider when fleshing in your theory.
While many of the social characteristics of homosexual males certainly trend towards societal female norms, oddly their sexual habits and characteristics tend to remain uniquely me in that homosexual males like their heterosexual counterparts tend to engage in sexual activity with a larger number of partners, with less courtship time before engaging in sexual activity, and with a greater propensity for infidelity, with shorter relationship lengths and with less emotional attachment.
In almost every way their sexual activity mirrors those of heterosexual males. Many clinicians actually count this as a factor for the greater degree of sexual related medical conditions in the homosexual community. That in homosexual male populations, having two male sexual patterns increases the amount of sexual activity as compared with the heterosexual activity which is generally limited by the female in the relationship in frequency and in social constructs in order for the hetero male to receive sexual engagement.

While many of the social characteristics of homosexual males certainly trend towards societal female norms, oddly their sexual habits and characteristics tend to remain uniquely me in that homosexual males like their heterosexual counterparts tend to engage in sexual activity with a larger number of partners, with less courtship time before engaging in sexual activity, and with a greater propensity for infidelity, with shorter relationship lengths and with less emotional attachment.
In almost every way their sexual activity mirrors those of heterosexual males. Many clinicians actually count this as a factor for the greater degree of sexual related medical conditions in the homosexual community. That in homosexual male populations, having two male sexual patterns increases the amount of sexual activity as compared with the heterosexual activity which is generally limited by the female in the relationship in frequency and in social constructs in order for the hetero male to receive sexual engagement.
Posted by: Bitter Clinger at July 18, 2018 11:23 PM (PUbuW)
I don't find that at all a refutation. The male urge generally is to spread the polliwogs far and wide. Males generate new sperm every few weeks, and they've got to go somewhere. All you're saying is that squirting the polliwogs is the prime directive, regardless of sexual orientation. I find that an easy proposition to believe.
And consider the converse: given the male propensity for promiscuity - which I've heard about, of course (!) - why aren't almost ALL men homosexual? You're 19, horny as hell, and trying to wheedle your way into some gal's pants, or at least score a BJ. You could probably perfectly well dispense with all the bullshit and get your beej in the next ten minutes if you know a single male homosexual.
Yet few guys actually do that.
(And as for homosexual male promiscuity, it turns out that that is major reservoir of STDs in the community at large.)

I heard Gene Simmons interviewed once on TV, honest to God.
"How many women have you had, Gene?"
"Not as many as you probably think."
"OK, but how many? Just a ballpark estimate?"
"I dunno".... (appears to be thinking about the question)... "less than a thousand."

Male homosexuality dramatically reduces the changes of having offspring...so genetics shouldn't favor it. In fact I'm guessing that ignoring child molestation (which is the leading cause of it...by far) that it is some response to overcrowding. We know that there are affects on girls as they go through puberty based on the pheromones of people around them. I would hardly be shocked if the same was true of men...

On a more uplifting light - what can someone do with their life, once it's been wrecked? I have a friend here who I have found quite inspiring, this summer. I rented a small place to him for the last 7 years, but we got to know each other well. He used to be a drummer, quite intelligent, but he fell prey to schizophrenia and went on disability about 12 years ago. (fortunately it is well controlled with medication) (well almost all of the time) That was his first blow. He was restricted to living off $900/month, but at least medicaid pays for his medication. He moved here because he had some family he liked, only family in the world - and then his uncle and two cousins got sent to Federal Prison for being part of a major trafficking operation. He had nothing to do with that, but he was crushed by that as well - that was all the family he had in the world. You'd think he'd roll over and just die, no family, no job, no nothing. (he's about 40, btw)
But amazingly, he came up with something that shocked me - the one thing he loves more than anything is bike riding, and he worked himself up to where he was doing 50 miles a day. A couple months ago he decided he could get rid of the rest of his possessions, put everything he needed in a backpack and some saddle bags, get a PO drop box so he could keep up with the minimal banking and medicaid needs, and he was going to spend most of the rest of the year on his bike. Specifically, he's riding from Texas to Utah, and after he tours Utah for a while he'll head up to Wyoming, sleeping either in public campsites or near the road, depending on what's available. All of it on his bike. He figures that by the time winter sets in he can find a widow woman with a small garage room she might let him sleep in cheap, until spring. Til then, he's just going to drift like a leaf on the wind, enjoying what he sees and not really worrying about where he's headed.
you might say he's crazy - well I told you he's a schizophrenic - but it just might work. And he might have a hell of a time doing it.

The water fountains are a pain in the ass to keep clean. A simple stainless steel one will work fine.
I would advise to get a good quality steel litter box scooper. Those plastic kind don't work worth a damn.

We know that there are affects on girls as they go through puberty based on the pheromones of people around them.
Sounds like pseudoscience to me.
Bear in mind that that crap about women's cycles synchronizing is obviously unsubstantiated bullshit.
Consider two women, one with a 28 day cycle, the other with a 27 day cycle. Eventually, their cycles will inevitably coincide, and will at least partially overlap for some months, during which time nitwits will be blathering about "coinciding cycles." Totally ignoring the period (?) before and after the cycles overlap.
Now if their cycles overlapped thereafter, for years, I'd take the proposition seriously.

Male homosexual promiscuity is more of an effect that a cause. When men screw other men, there is no throttle as mentioned above. They go wild. But if you ain't into that, you ain't gonna go for it, no matter how much sex you could get.
What spreads STDs like crazy is the buttsex. Gay men can be both pitchers and catchers, and that spreads it like wild fire.
A woman who gets Solo'd is as it as much risk for catching something from the pitcher, but it's much harder for her to spread it to others.

Oh, I never get anywhere weighing in to the homo wars. But..
why aren't almost ALL men homosexual? You're 19, horny as hell, and trying to wheedle your way into some gal's pants, or at least score a BJ. You could probably perfectly well dispense with all the bullshit and get your beej in the next ten minutes if you know a single male homosexual.
Yet few guys actually do that.
You're a straight guy. You're six years old and I Dream of Jeannie turns you on. You don't know why. You get to be 11 or 12 and you find your Dad's Playboy stash. It captivates you and you don't know why.
As a friend of mine once said, "whatever gets your dick hard".
I am a straight guy. Girls get my dick hard. I have made any number of bad life choices in order to get girls to do things to my dick.
If you're twelve and images of guys make your dick hard? Is that immoral? Is that just how you're wired?

I just finished Roughing It last week and I don't remember that bit.
I have become a huge Twain fanboi, but I don't get Roughing It. He
goes back and forth between reportage on events, tall tales, experiments
with accents, and literal transcriptions from his diaries. It really
looks like he's being paid for words by the pound.
Posted by: Bandersnatch at July 18, 2018 11:08 PM (fuK7c)
You are right. It was written apparently in 1876 as a short article, but it touches on the period he claimed to have been editor. I stuck them together in my head.
from Roughing It:
" The seventh day I resigned. On the eighth, Mr. Goodman returned and found six duels on his hands--my personalities had borne fruit. "
He fleshes that bit out in a short article called How I Escaped Being Killed in a Duel
"But I made an uncommonly lively newspaper while I did last, and
when I retired I had a duel on my hands, and three horse-whippings
promised me. The latter I made no attempt to collect; however, this
history concerns only the former."

That reminds of some Moon menstruation cult. A bunch of kook women get together, believing their periods such be synchronized with the phases of the Moon. I forget if they're supposed to do it on the full Moon, or the new Moon.
Anyway, they try to get all synchronized with the Moon, and therefore each other.

I remember getting hard as young as kindergarten. I had no idea what was going on. It's the low level circuits which are hard wired to respond to the stimuli. The higher brain has no idea what's happening, but when puberty hits and the testosterone kicks in, it will complete that higher wiring.
Interestingly, and obviously really, it was only women and girls past puberty who had developed who could have that effect. Undeveloped girls my own age did nothing.
The low level wiring is for the developed female form.

(I'll wait while you do the math.)
OK, now that you're suitably astonished, he also claimed he used to go into bathhouses, strip off, lay on a bench and await developments.
Public health officials charged with tracking down his sexual contacts, gave up, because not only did he not know them, in many cases, he'd never seen their faces.
But (?) just another lifestyle, as beautiful and valid as any other.

Uh, sorry, but how could they each be synchronized with the moon, and yet NOT with each other?
(Spare a thought for people whose manuscripts I reviewed.)
What I meant is that not all women will be synchronized with the same part of the cycle. Some will experience it on New moon, some on Half Moon, some on Full Moon, and all points in between. But once an individual woman's cycle is set on a particular phase, it should hold that phase until interrupted by a pregnancy, when it will reset.

I don't understand how a Judge can purposely go out of their way to ignore all facts, evidence that was admitted, affidavits from 4 experts, multiple expert testimony, case law and the law. They said they were taking time to go over these things weeks ago and sends a ruling saying they only went over their freaking notes after 2 freaking years!!! 5 years total. How convenient considering ex literally got in no evidence and represented herself. Well don't like these expert opinions and evidence and all this so I'll base it off my notes.
So ignore all evidence against the mother because reasons. WTF!??! Children are being literally being harmed. One expert said her and her circle for alienation. It's all ignored. Harm was literally ignored
It's drug out becauee the Judge wants to hear it all and then they ignore it because reasons. 2 freaking years and 5 total!!!
I mean it's like the courts are trying to destroy lives of men and kids to advance an agenda or something.
If God was merciful, he would allow me to pass on quietly in my sleep.

>> But once an individual woman's cycle is set on a particular phase
But the thing is their is pretty wide variation in cycle length between women. Anything between 21 and 35 days is considered normal.
I know some think the lunar correlation with cycle length is just a coincidence. But there are animals with lunar cycle related behavior.

Yes, exactly. The part that interests me is, why did women develop biologically for that relationship to exist? No other mammals have the exact period of the Moon as their cycle of fertility, but Mankind does. Was it just such a good way to keep track of periods of fertility that it got coded into our genetic makeup? But it has tied the moon to fertility in our psyches, as long as our race has existed.

28 day cycle length is just the *average*. The range is 21 to 35 days (and I see that's even wider on the long side for girls who are just starting). The average is those two numbers is 28.
Now, if she's not exactly 28 days, then she's not going to sync with the Moon.
You can put me in the coincidence camp unless more evidence comes to light.

Yeah, fuck the moon. I averaged 32 days. After tracking that for 25 years, it was a relief to toss it once menopause hit.

I'm all in favor of orgies, but not with any other men in sight.
As one of my roommates in college put it, I want "swimming pool full of pussy and just dive in".

The (hopelessly feckless liberal) guy who bought Chateau Merde from us let the lawn grow up to about a foot tall, and then tried to mow it with a reel mower (to save the polar bears, of course) on a July day, while he was wearing long trousers and a jacket.
He made it about six feet. Hilarity ensued.
Eventually he called Juan, who mowed the sucker with a gasoline-powered mower. Fuck the polar bears, amirite?

OK, I got a great email from an old friend today that I have not heard from in ages. Bear in mind that she was a 5'0" Romanian sparkplug that was very liberal in the 80's, started to turn in the 90's (because she realized the Clintona were assholes - and she still lives in DC:
"I have this utterly obnoxious K street lawyer who lives next door to me. He owns a yappy little dog that craps in my yard and he won't do anything to restrain the dog. He just sneers at me. So last night I had enough. I went out at 2 am because the dog was still barking, and I slapped a "Trump Pence 2016" bumper sticker over the "I support Planned Parenthood" sticker on his fender. I gave money to the Trump campaign in '16 and they sent me the bumper sticker but of course, I couldn't put it on my car. I live in DC. Let's see how long his car goes unkeyed in DC with a Trump bumper sticker on it."
Good old Roxie! I loled.

Also the synodic month, the length of the phases of the Moon is variable due to the intricacies of the system. The average length is 29.53 days. It varies from 29.18 to 29.93 days.
And note this is different from the sidereal month, the period of the Moon's orbit, which is 27.32 days.
So a 29 day cycle would be the one closest to the synodic month, not 28 days.

I spent a few years managing a photo lab just before digital cameras became big. When I told people what I did, they would often ask if people ever brought in nude photos to be developed. My answer was always the same: Yeah, but it's not the people you want to see naked.

Eventually he called Juan, who mowed the sucker with a gasoline-powered mower. Fuck the polar bears, amirite?

Ice displaces its weight in water, the rest remains above water level. Which is why ice floats.
If the ice melts, the portion of the ice above water level ... assumes the same level as the water. Upshot: the water level doesn't change.

And then doing one another's hair, and talking endlessly about one another's dream-boyfriends, real-boyfriends, heartbreaks, emotions, and eventually periods, loves, orgasms, and then repeat the entire cycle, sans the Barbies.
Boys play Evel Knevil, Astronaut, Cop, Robber, Cowboy & Indian.
The only clothes they change is on G.I. Joe's uniform, and they do that alone, or laugh together at the lack of G.I. Junk.

"Trump asked the Iranian delegation eight times to have a meeting with the president," Rouhani's chief of staff, Mahmoud Vaezi, said on Wednesday.

I call bullshit on this. Iran is a small, weak, backward, unimportant country, and Trump is a masterful negotiator. Their claim is like saying Bolivia turned down eight requests for a meeting. Probably the first seven were because no one in the State Department could figure out where Bolivia was.

You mean like the famous photo of the polar bears looking around plaintively while they sit on an ice floe?
Never mind that polar bears (Linnean name: Ursus maritimus, "bear of the sea") have been seen swimming 100 miles out to sea.
What do you notice about that photo?
It was taken in broad daylight. Where do polar bears live? Above the Arctic Circle. When is there broad daylight above the Arctic Circle? In summer. Only. Spring and fall have dim sunlight, whereas winter is pitch black.
So stop me when I lie, but that photo proves, unequivocally, that some ice melts in the Arctic summer.
Stop press.

on this topic, we should note that Male homosexuality quite a different thing than female homosexuality. Most of the male homosexuals I've known admire women, identify with women, want to be more like women. On the other hand, the vast majority of the female homosexuals I've known hate men and do not want to have anything to do with me. Also, those I have known have usually ended up relating that it stems from a time when they were badly mistreated and abused by a male authority figure, usually a close relative.
At least those are my personal observations.

Just 10,000 years ago, a really large chunk of North America and Europe were under thousands of feet of ice and guess what? We still aren't extinct. We adapt to and overcome the environment that we live in. (I may have just doomed the human race. Those people were hardy. Now, not so much)

The most useless observation by homosexuals themselves is that nobody would choose voluntarily to become a homosexual. They claim that proves that it is innate, but in fact, it proves exactly the opposite.
Nobody would choose it, but it is forced upon them by predators. That in turn normalizes is for the predators, because they can claim that so many of them exist.
In fact, it is one among many degenerations, but it is one of the more pernicious and difficult to overcome.

You can either prove your hypothesis, or not.
In fact, you can only disprove a hypothesis. You can never prove one. You can only establish that a hypothesis is consistent with the facts known to date, but cannot exclude the possibility that future facts will disprove it.
It's one of the more challenging concepts of the scientific method. The best one can ever say is, "No facts in hand tp date give the lie to this explanation."

Point taken. But here was the thing about Phil Jones. He repeatedly claimed that he could prove Man Made Gorebull Enwarmening, but refused to release his data. After three FOIA requests and a court battle (which he lost) he was directed by the courts to produce his data so that other scientists could review it. Instead, he destroyed his data and claimed that he would not allow deniers to use his data against him. He was afraid of being disproved, and his bullshit shown to be exactly that.

Well the 23 hour trip to the U.S. begins in the morning at o'dark hundred. Hope I get no delays as I have a bloody busy fortnight of shooting, suppressors, cigars and boozing with new American mates. I love my life.

just got in from a LONG public meeting.
the upside is that, for the first time in two years, i can freely speak my mind, and tell the useless bitchy assholes what utter and complete contempt i hold their them in.
it was fun.
even more fun is that they screwed up several important parts, which i will now point out, and they will have to do them all over again next month.
i make a great friend and a lousy enemy. they chose poorly.

Point taken. But here was the thing about Phil Jones. He repeatedly claimed that he could prove Man Made Gorebull Enwarmening, but refused to release his data. After three FOIA requests and a court battle (which he lost) he was directed by the courts to produce his data so that other scientists could review it. Instead, he destroyed his data and claimed that he would not allow deniers to use his data against him. He was afraid of being disproved, and his bullshit shown to be exactly that.

Which is why he's not a scientist. Anything I published, I submitted ALL of the supporting supplementary material. If anyone wrote me, I'd supply whatever further information I could. Why? Because I wanted the truth to come out, regardless of the impact on my personal fortunes.
As I used to tell my students, at some point we'll all be dead. You want something to leave behind you? The truth is a good thing to leave behind.

Safe travels and have a great time blowing up targets, you won't like the local beer, local women will be attracted to your accent, and the cigars can be quite good. Drop in from time to time and update us on your visit. There won't be such a large time lag.

certain parties have been butthurt because i've not been overly diplomatic with them in the past.
tonight they started to learn what can be said when i have no reason to give even a fraction of a damn, since i have no impetus to be even slightly diplomatic.

Let me expand on that. Scientific research is not an obvious way to big bucks.
So why do it? Because you want to find out Truth, in an uncertain and corrupt world.
So if you're willing to be corrupted as a scientist, why not just go into business or politics to begin with? Otherwise, it's like becoming a Catholic priest to meet chicks.

qdpsteve,
I want to tell you what somebody once told me about weddings and have you apply that to your family vacations, etc.
When one plans a wedding, there is always some family member/good friend who is unavailable a particular date or even time or the catering hall or church is already booked. No matter what you do, you just can't ever seem to find a date good for all the important people in your life.
The solution I was told was to plan your wedding for when you want to do it. If you want to get married in Hawaii at 3 in the morning while scuba diving in the ocean 20 feet down, those who WANT to attend your wedding will be there with face masks, flippers and air tanks on.
Same goes for family vacations. There's no problem with reasonable accommodation/discussion, or someone cancelling because of some real emergency, but after a certain point you must simply plan your vacation when you want to take it and where you want to take it, giving out the particulars to those who you wish to go along. After that, if they still hem and haw, go whether they are going on not because if they really WANTED to go, they'd go.
What's happening to you is a form of passive/aggressive dominance and it's nonsense. Once you start going to the places you want to go on your vacation and they choose not to go with you, they will either see that their game playing no longer works on you, or they'll be mad at you, or they'll apologize to you after they see all the fun pics you took (yeah, I know, fat chance of that happening). But now they will know they can no longer manipulate you. And that's what their game playing is all about, manipulation and dominance.
In the immortal words of Anonymous: Fuck that shit!

Right now it's looking like I will have family with me for the first night of the trip, and I will be alone the second night. I can live with that. But there's no way I'm going to do what I think they want me to, and cancel my second night, just because no one else wants to be there.
It just seems like my sisters and mom have no concept of "It's MY life." But it is MY life. I guess I have to just learn to enforce that.

Further to the above...
Taxes in OK are rock bottom. People leave you alone for the most part. Kids are still free-range...ours are roaming the hills and swimming in the creeks instead of zoning out with their phones. Most people still say "sir" and "ma'am". At night you can see more stars than you thought existed.
I feel safe here. A bad guy with a gun is probably going to run into several good guys with guns who are more than willing to use them. (That's provided he gets past me to begin with.)
I live in fear that the rest of the world will discover what we've got and want in on it.

This stopped me cold. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's our loss of connection to the world we live in that's making us crazy.
S'funny. When I went looking for this place the realtor asked what I wanted in a house. Know what the first item on the list was? "A view of the western sky." The second? "A window over the sink." I got my window over the sink...with a view of the western sky for good measure. Rooms and square footage and fancy appliances were all secondary. It was about the world around me. (Though the fireplace and hot tub were selling points.)
The peace and quiet here insulates me from what's unfolding out there. If it goes to hell in Oklahoma there's no hope anywhere.

Deplorable Jay, creeper, red and RickZ, yup, yup, yup, yup and thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks. :-)
Jay: dither next year or 2020, I want to go to both Death Valley and Lake Tahoe, and be gone an entire week.
Anyway, most likely my itinerary will be:
Day/Night 1: drive to Lone Pine, CA and stay there
Days 2 & 3: drive through Death Valley, check out locations for possible horror movie, maybe even walk a few trails (during non-heat peak hours of course)
Day 4: drive to Tahoe, stay there from Night 4 to Day 7 or 8
Day 7 or 8, start driving home. I might try to stop somewhere else on the way down the 395, like Bishop or Mammoth, adding a day or two. I might also just stop in Ridgecrest and see what's available to shoot in that area, as it's closer than Death Valley.
My hunch is that if family joins me at all, they'll join me in Tahoe for one, two or three nights. But on THAT trip, I am going to be in charge of the entire itinerary.
I guarantee family will ask over and over: why do you have to go so many places? It's so hot in Death Valley, why do you want to visit there? Why do you have so spend so long in Tahoe?
Well, it's just that at this stage I'd rather spend too long than not long enough. I don't know when I'll get to come back and I want to make absolutely certain to enjoy myself. That decision too will be relentlessly questioned by my family, but so be it. I'm not gonna budge, and I've planned this for some time now (at least a year).
Thanks everyone for the support, and I'm gonna call it a night. The great chat and support is truly appreciated. :-)

Taxes in OK are rock bottom. People leave you alone for the most part. Kids are still free-range...ours are roaming the hills and swimming in the creeks instead of zoning out with their phones. Most people still say "sir" and "ma'am". At night you can see more stars than you thought existed.
I feel safe here. A bad guy with a gun is probably going to run into several good guys with guns who are more than willing to use them. (That's provided he gets past me to begin with.)

Steve, your plans sound great. My recommendation is to let your family know what you are doing and that they are welcome to join you. When the questions and whining start, the first response is "this is what I want, this is what I'm doing." The second time you hear questions or whining the response is "I've already told you and I'm not going to answer again." And then follow your plans and have fun however it turns out.

Yes. In a management positiion, e.g., as head of a household, you entertain a number of proposed courses of action, from all quarters, and without commentary.
Having heard them all, you choose one, and ram it home. And remember who proposed ridiculous courses action, and subsequently act accordingly.

Jay, maybe we are just approaching this from two widely separate places.
I agree most women want an alpha male. I think there are very few instances in which an alpha male would need to say what you said in the way that you said it.
Real power doesn't often need to assert itself, it just is.

Here's a newsflash: FUCK your family and their POV. You're the man of the family, and presumably bankrollng the whole thing. The only opinion that matter is that of who is bankrolling the operation, i.e., you.
Now I wouldn't make that linkage explicit, but it is the reality. Nothing should take place that doesn't meet with your approval. You're not a dictator; you're the Supreme Court, the final court of appeal.
Why? Because you're the man of the family.

I think it boils down to this: We like you to play the man's role but we don't want you to beat us over the head with it.
I spent the twenty best years of my life married to an alpha male. He was a pilot. He was rated on so many aircraft his FAA license ran to two pages. I once asked him, "Could you fly a 747?" His response: "Hell, I could fly the box it came in."
He always consulted me before making any decisions. In the end, the decision was his and it was invariably the right one.
THAT is an alpha male.

No, of course not. I was speaking in the corporate/academic context.
But the principle remains: a leader sets the tone, the ethos, for the group as a whole, whether it be a family, a platoon, a company, a battalion, a division, an army, a Senate, whatever. At some point, someone, somewhere, makes the final decision on what's going to happen.

-- this is where I differ, it can be quietly and authoritatively be stated and accepted. If ridiculous courses of action were proposed then a respectful conversation can be a learning/teaching opportunity.

With all due respect, which unfortunately is not very much, this is pussy bullshit, and from your comment, I infer you must be female.
When lives are on the line, fuck conversations leading to a "learning/teaching opportunity." If you were screaming in pain in childbirth, would you be interested in a conversation can be a learning/teaching?

1) in the context, lives were not on the line.
2) while disagreeing with you, I have been respectful
3) perhaps you missed my earlier comment
"In a situation where immediate action is necessary is where I can see your first comment as appropriate."
4) in childbirth, events happen regardless of conversations
5) of course those conversations would need to take place at appropriate times.
I truly did appreciate being able to have a discussion of this ideas, but because of the tone of your comment at 739 , I don't think further conversation would be productive.

Jay, science is science. You can either prove
your hypothesis, or not. So why do so many support this crap and try to
sell it to everyone else? The people who scream the science is settled
infuriate me to no end. Yet so many believe them.

Old Blue, I do not know. Truly. But no science is settled. None
whatsoever. Nothing could have been on a more sound footing than
Newtonian mechanics. Conservation of parity was Holy Writ - in the
pantheon with conservation of energy and momentum - until 1956. And
that's no shit experimental physics, about as hard a science as you're going to find.

well, about the stuff i poasted about just before 666
i sent out an e-mail noting that the meeting was recorded, without the attendees being notified, which, IIRC, is a violation of #Failifornia state law.
i stated that i expected the recording to be deleted, the public notified and apologized to, that i receive written assurances that it had been destroyed, and that i would take civil and or criminal legal action if it made its way into the public sphere.
the President e-mailed me back saying it would NOT be destroyed, and, for my temerity in insisting on my rights, i was removed from a tasking which required me to sit through a *lengthy* meeting once a month, then write a report that NO ONE ever acted upon.
talk about throwing me into the briar patch.
plus i might get to sue some assholes over it all.

"infringed"...
i read somewhere that, in one of his opinions, he wrote about the fallacy of applying various levels of "scrutiny" on #2A questions, because, he said, the 2nd has it's own level of scrutiny "shall not be infringed"
whilst i've read that he too goes with the Heller notion of "in regular use", it sounds as if he would be amenable to an argument that Class 3 weapons are not in wider use to the artificial restriction of availability passed in 1986. the demand is there, it just can't be filled.
same with suppressors, with all the requirements to buy one, and some states banning ownership (IIRC) i know for a fact that #Failifornia bans Class 3 weapons for all but government agencies and movie prop houses.

The CCW is my next step. My wife and I will be attending a couples handgun shooting class in a few weeks.
I've shot shotguns and 22 rifles in the past and tragically lost those and a Luger in a canoe accident. I've never really shot handguns. In the class, you get to shoot different manufacturers and calibers, so we can see what we would prefer. Plus with a FOID card you can rent them at the range.
Wife can't wait.

The similarity between Comey and Commie appears to be more than a coincidence.
Damn, the "elites" are out to prove they need to be overthrown in a French style revolution.

Could not agree more, and I think the common denominator is ignorance. Never have believed anyone wakes up to be a miserable failure, the leftist/socialist/commie blight on society is a learned behavior. Imagine the result of teaching the actual blessings of liberty.
Opinion expressed here is only that of a moron, stay off my lawn.

It's always fun to ask a simple question like, based on what? or interesting, do you have any proof of that?
Usually it's someone said that someone told them sort of thing.

My neighbor down the street, with the 'Hate Has A Home Here' sign (or whatever the fvck it says) -- well, the sign suffered an unfortunate demise. Looks like a big ass truck backed over it.
I hope I get asked about it. I'll tell them their extremist position on immigration is 'out of touch' with Americans point of view and political season has been over for a long time. The sign needed to come down over a year ago. Accept the results of elections. It's the American thing to do.

President Trump says he cannot name a single country that has been improved by mass immigration or large flows of refugees.
Well this is one instance I will have to disagree with PDT.
Israel benefited greatly from the mass immigration of over a million russians in the 80s, but most had PHDs so....LOL

I always wonder why those Hate Home signs are only translated into Spanish and Arabic. The fact that the message isn't displayed in EVERY language is obviously disrespectful, hurtful, and xenophobic. Also, what about Braille? What about that tribe in New Guinea that has no written language? There should be recordings playing continuously in every language, 24/7. Otherwise, obviously a macro-aggression that should be outed and shamed. Shamed!

The US Patent Office examines Israeli patent applications. One of my co-workers was the examiner in the Israeli flood of lactic acid innovations. I worked on some Saudi applications from SABIC.
We looked up Patent applications for Israel vice the entire Muslim world, including Indonesia and Turkey.
The ratio was a very large number completely in favor of Israel. Israel punches well above it's weight in science as well as militarily.

Patents are gifts to mankind. For a limited time the inventor can use his invention to profit, then, after 20 years, the invention is for everyone to use.
High patent rates are strongly correlated with progress and civilization. There was a reason our Founding Fathers make rights to your own intellectual property the only individual right in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8.
The Patent Office was the only building the British did not burn when they took Washington in the War of 1812. The Patent Office Director of the time begged for it to be saved in the name of Reason. Ironically, it did burn to the ground 20 years later.
