What is interesting to me is that intelligent people can look across the ocean and observe that political and religious differences are causing great hardship and anguish in other lands but cannot see that it is close to the same situation at home. The Simple Public Policy is an eye-opening read for those who simply sit and observe from a distance.

You know, it's funny, but until today, there hadn't been a single post in that forum for nearly 3 weeks, and only a couple of posts for the last month. Most of the contentious stuff shows up in other places, such as here.Originally Posted by ToomuchStuff
It's weird.

If you call it a tiny house, you may be OK. But you cant drive it.Maybe the person who introduced the term on these forums will weigh in. I've never been clear on the basis of his definition, although I think DMC expressed the gist of it.
All I know is I've lately been afraid to mention my 10 cylinder, 9 mpg motorhome on these forums for fear of being called out. I'm sensitive that way.
Corvette comes to mind for me. Always has.

Yea something I attributed to people having entirely given up on making any changes or improving anything in U.S. politics, a sentiment I would sympathize with greatly. As in "politics is f'in hopeless, I dont' want to talk about it anymore". I mean to REALLY SEE how bad things are politically is to be consumed with despair! And things are likely going to have to get much worse before they get better at any rate since there is little resistance at present. :\You know, it's funny, but until today, there hadn't been a single post in that forum for nearly 3 weeks, and only a couple of posts for the last month.
yea but some people just see debate as intellectual debate. I mean if people want to make things personal and all about me then I'll fight, but it's pretty clear when things become personal (oh so it's all about me now ...). Whereas I think others see debate as such and arguing impersonal theories as "fighting". And I don't.What is interesting to me is that intelligent people can look across the ocean and observe that political and religious differences are causing great hardship and anguish in other lands but cannot see that it is close to the same situation at home.

I'm with redfox, can't we all meet somewhere and have a beer or glass of wine and enjoy the debate? That would be so great.

Ive had a few in the past, now I have a Porsche. They do get OK gas mileage. And most don't go to the junkyard after 10yrs or so.Corvette comes to mind for me. Always has.
My first car I bought with my own money was a 1966 Corvette Convertable, I loved that car. I'll bet it's still around.
What happened to that "Hope and Change"? At least I'm older, and somewhat affluent. I'll be fine, just tell me the rules that we are following today.
We would have to be careful to not be considered a terrorist threat.
Classic overcompensation, redfox.
