Generally, I'd always advise to do some holework ... er .... I mean HOMEwork ... first, before you try dp. Make sure you're able to open up enough before you actually try it in-the-flesh. You could be injured (meaning, a quick trip to the hospital) if you're Hole simply cannot expand enough, yet is forced to. Lust is wonderful, but things can get carried away when we're "in heat".

Thanks for your input. I think every viewpoint is equally important, regardless of which side of the aisle one aligns oneself with.

That may be true in the large metropolitan cities, which is why so many American gays relocated to large cities. That said, there is plenty of homophobic hatred of gay folks out in the other, more rural parts of the country.

First, thanks for sharing your views on these important issues. I would be interested in knowing your sources proving your point. I could find none. He recently endorsed a bill (which, as you know, no President can initiate - that must be done by Congress) giving the Republicans in the HoR everything they wanted. Yet, at the last minute the former President quashed the deal, although he has no executive power now. The President relinquished a number of his plans to ameliorate the current mess at the southern border, and allowed virtually everything the (proposed) House bill demanded. Yet, thanks to one statement from a disgrace of a man to the contrary (apparently so he can use the issue in his campaign against the President), the House refused to accept everything they had wanted. How, pray tell, is that making it "harder and harder" for our neighbors to the South to emigrate? Your commentary relating to "the end times" would definitely apply to some members of the House (particularly Mr. Johnson), but Government Policy endorses no religion at all. Everyone is allowed to believe in the religion of their choice (or no religious belief at all), as long as they don't foist their beliefs on others. I happen to believe that the "end times" have nothing whatsoever to do with some deity - we humans are perfectly capable of bringing that to pass completely on our own. More, the President - like very other citizen - is entitled to believe in whatever religion he chooses - or none at all, for that matter. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with this statement, but it really should be supported by some evidence. Please provide the evidence to back up your statement. It seems you may be misconstruing the former President with the current one. Thanks for sharing your viewpoints.

Maybe the old saying "any port in a storm" would suffice ??? Or, maybe the probation officer has a little secret of his own ....

Welcome, anonCUMtainer. Sounds like you'll be making interesting additions/replies so some of the threads of conversation. We look forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks - that's the one.

The world is having a difficult time of it these days, it seems, at least the Western world. Sorry your conversation ended the way it did, but most of us would have reacted the same way. The "woke-ers" are drowning in a sea of "anti-woke-ers" sometimes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It was from an earlier one ... maybe I'm the one that needs a test or three ... 😉

Well put. Thanks.

You're right, as I see it, and the complexity is not only the virtue, but the stumbling block as well. As different issues wax and wane in importance to the general welfare, obviously differing pathways to remedy also appear or fade. What worked in addressing x issue two generations ago may not work at all today. What didn't work back then, may work now. Addressing the complexity of identifying, then correcting national issues needing correction is tough work, and no one single person, let alone one political leader, has all the answers. But arriving at all the answers isn't the point, which is (as I see it) "building" a more (not completely, but more) perfect Union. It's this Nation's lovely, hard, tough, beautiful, amazing, yet nearly impossible Task, and I don't think it will ever be completely finished. The work, the building, the progress, always continuing, is the whole point.

So would many of us. We're here at the table, nibbling on croutons, but the entree has yet to arrive, Appetizers are ok, I suppose, but where's the meat of the discussion? I doubt I'm the only one that's still waiting for some measure of an understandable, reasonable answer. But then, maybe we're still waiting because there simply is none to be had.

Given that the last proper name preceding this ^ phrase is "Biden", do you mean you think Biden is a "loose cannon at best"? I definitely agree that older men running for President should submit to tests like you describe, and I'm assuming that these "signs" of impairment can begin to become apparent earlier, to a professional's eye before it becomes evident to the non-professionals.

And thanks for that, 50latinos. Live and learn, huh? 😏

I must have eaten the "dumb" sandwich for lunch .... thanks, BBBxCumDumpster.

One particular failed US policy stands out to me: I simply cannot understand why Biden lets Netanyahu push him around, along with Blinken and all the rest. How can the US allow itself to be so closely associated with what amounts to genocide of innocent kids, families, starving for the barest of necessities. More, where are all the hundreds of thousands of these unfortunates - herded South - supposed to go when the IDF determines it's time to blow up all the refugees too? I know that the election is coming up. There are about 6.5 million Jewish folks in the US, and about half that number of Arabs, I know Biden needs the liberal Jewish vote, and maybe he can figure out a way to win MI, which is home to many of Arab descent. But really ... Clearly Nettie believes that the Trumpanzee will give him all the rope he needs to lay waste to half the Levant unless he's voted out of office in Israel first. I don't understand what appears to be Biden's "kid-glove" handling of the ongoing and expanding crises in the Middle East. The current state of affairs in that area is - to my mind anyway - simply inexcusable, and our diplomats do not seem able to wring one scintilla of cooperation out of the Israeli War Cabinet.

LOL ..... merely seeing a photo of that wormish ghoul is enough to make any person aspiring to some measure of decency simply hurl, and hurl again. It's a disgrace that he wastes perfectly good food feeding himself .....

Welllllll ..... I confess ...... I don't know what TDS stands for. The Googler only has stuff about high speed internet 😒 Anyone?

I believe you've succinctly and correctly stated the problem. There seem to be certain "catch-phrases" that they announce, without much basis in reason. I see it as the triumph of un-reason. The avoidance of any interest in real discussion, in favor of the "knee-jerk" reactionary retreat to their slogans, repeated over and over again, and ignoring any actual facts. It's really a sorrow. The only solution I see is to keep trying to advance reasonable discourse, (and vote these maga office-holders out - including the down-ballot officials). Thanks.

That's spot on, and thanks for pointing it out. The "issue" of the day, in that nation, was not merely the financial collapse of 10/1929, but the punishing (literally) terms forced upon the German nation by the Treaty of Versailles. The burden of "reparations" to the Allied countries, along with the financial collapse created a storm of upheaval, upon which the would-be dictator played like Stradivarius. To the world's horror, that "man of action" carried out his policies of genocide eagerly and thoroughly. Blaming "the other" - whoever it may be - has often been the cowardly, wannabe-dictator's way in.

First, Thank you for your service. To the quote above, I'm wondering how you arrive at the issue of Dem's are "somehow vaguely worse (than, I'm assuming the Republicans?). Worse in what particular way? Which of the political positions supported by D's (and presumably not the R's?) are you referring to? There have been many times I haven't supported an entire platform of a given party, but I always exercise my right to vote, particularly the down-ballot positions, which directly impact the community in which I live. Thanks.

Cool !! So was I - went over there for a beer before heading to Slammer ... maybe we rutted in Holes next to each other and didn't even know it .... btw, the pool table has been off-limits (except for playing pool, I mean) for a long time now.

Well, there are substantial numbers of both gays & hets buying properties West of Powerline, thus raising prices in that depressed area. If you're not familiar with that area, it is substantially inhabited by minorities, probably not well-paid, and not considered a "safe" area. The (formerly) more affordable areas (for instance, the 'hood West of where Cubby Hole used to be) has all been torn down, with new mid-rise condo's everywhere, and it's adjacent to Federal Highway, which runs directly into downtown. There are 4 gay households in my little 'hood that have sold, and the guys moved to Asheville. Also, there have been "investors" buying up properties around here to turn into Air B&B's, along with short-term rentals. When ownership by residents in the area diminishes, and absentee-ownership increases, the "neighborly" quotient tends to dissolve too, When long-term owners/residents begin leaving, and rentals increase, it seems that renters come and go so quickly, it's hardly worth the time it takes to cultivate new neighbors. All that said, demographics never remain static (except in rather wealthy areas); so it's either buckle up and sit it out or try to figure out something else and just start over - again.

and draft-dodger .... don't forget the commonly used "bone spurs" excuse to avoid service in the military. His dad paid off some quack doctor to "diagnose' bone spurs in his stinking feet. Some of us knew guys that were called, answered the call, and never returned.
