I'm actually coming to respect him a little more... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 21/09/2017 04:51:06 PM

It's for him saying what he is thinking and feeling. I am finding more value in that as I get older.

Here's a pop-culture reference some of you may catch. Do you remember the episode in Buffy the Vampire Slayer when Buffy gets some demon blood on her and it makes her telepathic? She is unable to control her new power, and it is starting to make her go crazy, because she is hearing the thoughts of what everyone is saying, and then they are saying something totally different.

Minus the vampires in her life (who she can't hear), Cordelia is the only one that's half way tolerable to her. And this is because Cordelia says exactly what she is thinking. In the show (and also in real life), it comes across as egotistical and not very tactful.

So now we see in the political arena a man who says what he is thinking. I find that refreshing.

Cordelia was one of the few Sunnydale High students I liked or for whom I had any respect Cannoli - 21/09/2017 05:17:56 PM 715 Views

He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 618 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 337 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 691 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 629 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 631 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 716 Views

Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 319 Views

I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 519 Views

Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 694 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 636 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 671 Views

It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 627 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 673 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 608 Views

Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 280 Views
