You start where they are, sure. Maybe the person comes out the end simply feeling better about themselves or maybe it's to where they feel better and quit axe murdering. But it's not just hand holding it's about achievable results and positive change, or so I thought.

"Q provides proofs." Isn't it more a case of Q provides prophecy? If the Q thing is real and true how is it that after over a year and a half of revelations it's still a fringe right wing movement? Please explain to we unbelievers in a point by point, fact by fact and demonstrated truth by demonstrated truth way why you believe it to be true.

Seriously? Don't you counsel to guide someone to a better place mentally; to actively find a way to get them to see things differently? No matter, I wasn't advocating playing unethical mind games with a client. I was, too clumsily it seems, trying to get you to consider your own thought processes. The suggestion was that it's useful to ask ones self if a belief is held because of the testable truth it is made of or if it's simply the sort of thing we like to believe. Q, for example.

As long as Yankees don't go so far as to say All Y'all I reckon it's just the natural tendency to try to fit in. But if certain words or ideas trigger a subconscious reaction to behave or speak in a particular manner that say's something else. Again, you're the counselor, if someone makes a claim in response to a subconscious trigger is it appropriate to first believe the claim before examining the root cause of the persons behavior?

This document was declassified by EO (Executive Order) last week. Note: the significance can be determined on the signature page. You claim an understanding of human psychology, how would you explain your predilection for clipped military speak? Is it just an "in the moment" sort of thing like Northerners saying ya'll when in Texas? Or, does this Q thing do something for you on a much deeper level?

Apparently, our Constitution is not quite the nifty solution to authoritarianism we've been sold. Go figure.

Hey man, That's more than enough. You screwed the pooch and owned up to it in capital letters. Now let's move on. Joe
-
Good luck with that.

Let me place my nose even closer to the doo-doo, who cares? Unless you believe that a fart in the front seat of the car shouldn't be a concern for those in the rear all you are concerned with is location and time. It seems to me that you are focused on a much shorter time frame than are climate scientists. That's fine. I mean, what kind of knucklehead orders something that won't be delivered until after he is dead, right? Truly, some day's I am so pissed off and disconsolate at how things really are that I'm ready to toss my recycling onto the neighbors yard instead of putting it in the damn bin. But I haven't yet. And even if I do it won't be because I don't believe the science.
-
Um, no. Assuming you are spooling up to gotcha me you are referencing the North and South poles on this planet, yes?
-
Some things happen too quickly or too slowly to be obvious. Seriously, do you doubt continental drift or evolution because you can not see either happening in real time?
-
According to marine geophysicist Robin Bell of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, sea levels rise by about 1/16” for every 150 cubic miles of ice that melts off one of the poles. If you're willing to believe it, that is.
-
D'accord.
-
Would "Silly Goose" have passed your muster? I don't believe "sad figure" is an awful thing to say. We are all adults here, right?
-
Is that how you fancy yourself; a holy cop roaming the city streets beating and bruising non-believers and ripping away the veils of women?
-
I see. Is this the verse? The watchmen found me as they went about in the city; they beat me, they bruised me, they took away my veil, those watchmen of the walls.
-
I'm so happy for you. Watchmen on the Wall is just another wackadoodle glee club sponsored by the totally even keeled Family Research Council. So you've made another excellent choice. I R 1. R U 1 2?
-
I guess. But at the end of the day I'm a Skydiver, right? There is only so much you can expect.
-
I'm pretty sure I'm on his watchlist, and for good reason. I'm just hoping it's Amy's Birthday or something.

Joe, How bad was it really? I called him a sad figure. Is that really a PA? The rest of it was simply observations that are truthful and also, I'm guessing, not original except in wording. Here it is: I do not think Ron deserves a pass. If I saw him talking to an impressionable person I would intervene. I think that anyone who participates here who cares about truth that would not do the same needs to recalibrate their thinking. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I see it. Joe
-
Thanks Yobnoc, I don't want a banning, that's for sure. But Ron begs a completely honest assessment, hopefully the ref's will agree. At a certain point we need to be able to say what we think is true without dancing around corners. I think what I wrote is true. Not just as Me vs. Ron but as reality vs. insanity. I might also say as in truth vs. falsehoods. We have crazy hard headwinds to sail against these days and if we are going to get to where we need to be we need to step up our game. Hopefully I'm here tomorrow.

You have got to be pulling my dingaling. That is insane even by your conspiratorial standards. When you were jumping and got a bad spot did you ascribe nefarious intentions to anyone? The pilot? The manifestor? The packers? The crapper cleaner? Were they all in cahoots, perhaps? Was it all planned long in advance to hide all tracks? Did you think it was actually a misdirection where you were used to confuse the real target? Did you think: "Yes. For sure. How else could it be explained?" You are a sad figure, Ron. You are, I think, irretrievably controlled by your delusions. And that makes you a very dangerous person. Good that you are sequestered with like minded loonies and away from the rest of us. Please stay there.

Kieth, I'm all for fixing the VA Health system and I'd start by creating far fewer patients to clog an already overcrowded system. But that's it's own thing and I don't think creating a basic social safety net package as a foundation for addressing working poverty in America should be dependent on solving that problem. You are absolutely right that a minimum wage number in one location may not be the right number elsewhere. I say we should, in a basic but humane way, simply take away the danger of being alive and breathing, remove risk from the absolute necessity of driving your car to work and your kids to school and also through educational opportunities make easier the task of finding a way to improve your circumstance beyond a locally decided minimum pay. Gotta start somewhere. Joe
-
Kieth, it seems to me that if there were a basic social safety net in place, as I posited above, then it would be easier to argue that the minimum wage number should be based on local conditions.
-
Right. Let's just add a meaningful but basic social safety net that could benefit any companies workers thus leveling the playing field. Again, basic health insurance (that also serves as occupational health insurance), basic no fault auto insurance (and hog tie the lawyers from both government programs with tort reform) and basic post high school college or trade school training. Then low wage workers are less of a burden or risk to potential employers and, along with gig economy workers, have a shot at moving up in the economy.
