" Maybe, but they have to resign themselves to never having a decent place to live, or a decent car, or even a decent GF. That gets kind of old my age 30. Never having good credit, never owning a home, never taking a good vacay. Never having personal dignity. Tough way to live your entire life that way. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Some on the continent say they agree. "President Donald Trump is absolutely right," says Mamady Traore, a 30-year-old sociologist in the West African nation of Guinea. "When you have heads of state who mess with the constitutions to perpetuate their power. When you have rebel factions that kill children, disembowel women as saints, who mutilate innocent civilians." One African source on Friday said that Trump had only said what many Africans say behind closed doors — at least about the continent’s most troubled nations.'

I don't think you realize how many people are OK with living like this. It is sad but plenty of people are content to live a ghetto or white trash lifestyle, being a lump, watching daytime TV, and just getting by. They see people working a full week but not getting anywhere so figure just sponge. They cannot imagine literally or figuratively leaving the neighborhood. The President is a fink. |

This memo was released by the WH. It was purported to be written by the doctor who administered the physical. However, the memo misspelled the doctor's name. LOL “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I have a friend who is an ambulance chaser (attorney). He will go to your house or apartment for the initial meet up when he is trying to get you to use him, at a time convenient for you. In the suburbs that is usually in the evening, after work. In the city it is usually during the day. He tells me it is stunning how many able bodied adults tend to be in the house mid day when he goes to 'the hood' to meet a prospective client. He does not believe it is because they are disproportionally off shift workers. |

Meaningless I've worked hard my whole life I have never ever been on unemployment yet I am home all day. Somebody delivers a package in the middle of the day, I answer the door and sign for it. I love being home all day. No long commute. My commute is walking upstairs to my home office. The entire company I work for has gone virtual. Its a massive company and everybody works from home. We are open 24/7 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Two years ago I was getting new tires at Belle Tire. It was 11am and the waiting room was full, 15 mostly Blacks and of color people. There was a big TV and it had on a game show I never heard of. I hadn't seen a morning TV show since the 60's. Every one of those people knew the show intimately and most were verbally involved in it. I was stunned. These people had to be home and watching this crap at 11am to know it this well. I had no idea what it was, they knew it well. The real people were at work, 11am is when the losers who watch TV all day get their tire work done. Where they got the money is still a mystery to me. I know a least 2 of them were drug dealers, it was obvious. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
