I like how they pretended Don Draper came up with that slogan in 1960, when it;s been Luckies slogan since the 1920's. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Was reading article about Facebook censors. Some of them get PTSD from screening stuff like a live animal having its face chopped off. A full shift of encountering all kinds of sad things. I guess you could shut it down after seeing the initial few seconds, but that sounds only marginally better. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I thought the answer was easy. Actors know another faker when they see one. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Not quite. Actors get so much praise all the time to keep their egos inflated, they automatically think they're experts on all topics. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | If you're a schaden fan like me, you can't beat Ninja Warrior. These people have to go thru a ton of events just to make it on the show. When they crash into water on the 2nd obstacle, I whoop out loud. Some girl beat some disease or other, terminal acne or something, and her whole fam was there screaming their heads off. She made it to the first step of the first obstacle and into the water she went. I stood and cheered, it was wonderful. I cheer for the ones that make it past the halfway point, but the lame ones feed my schaden, god bless em.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
