We play the hand we are dealt and have no voice in it. Now some of you will say it's up to you to do good with it? I ask you this. No matter how hard broccoli tries to be pineapple it will never change what it is.People are like that too. No magic wand that turns them into that which they are not and can never be.Politically it sticks out biglier than anywhere. Republicans despise Dems and Dems likewise despise them. Why? They didn't CHOOSE to be that. That they are that pleases them very bigly because they think it's the cat's pajamas to be them. Sheesh. Arguments based on differences we cannot help are ridiculous. Our brains are wired thus and such. Period. Get over it. less

I have many friends who are now in limbo with their residency, employment, and relationships alll in peril.How did this happen? My first thought is why did Labor choose Jeremy Corbyn to lead. Why is it these days the Politicos are choosing the radicals on tails to lead instead of the centrists.

Maybe once upon a long ago time in the deep long ago it was a word that meant something but is lost to us today. I know that aeons ago a great library (in Alexandria I think) was burned to the ground and all the great books therein were destroyed. Along with it knowledge we once had and is lost to us. So maybe everything makes sense and we've either never developed it again or lost the ability to access it. Whatcha think? less

I think that must require high intelligence and high skills and a lot of creativity and curiosity. Do men have a lock on those things?. Women are truck drivers and firefighters and boxers. How many are quantum physicists?

How do we handle it? Is it better to do nothing at all and just take care of ourselves and let others do likewise and let the chips fall where they may?I get not being rewarded for doing the right thing. But being punished for it? That I don't get. Do you? less

I’m on a plane right now, it’s still boarding, and a passenger near me is chowing down on the most delicious-smelling Asian stir-fry possible. That’s what prompted this question. I seem to remember that some airlines may have attempted to institute rules against passengers carrying off-site food aboard flights in a bid to gouge a captive audience into paying the ransom on curbing hunger, but that nonsense was struck down. ~ less

I finally remembered what I'd eaten when that happened to me. I already asked Welby privately. It wasn't him. I will give you the answer if you can name any features of the question that would positively identify you as the owner.
