Democrats! Democrats are trying to steal an election in Florida Let's be honest here... We don't have a Democrat or Republican problem. We have a leadership problem. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

BLONDE JOKE DAY A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch." A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari." _____________________________ A brunette goes into a doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it. "Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me." She takes her finger, presses on her elbow, and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams, and so it goes on; everywhere she touches makes her scream with pain. The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?" She says, "No, I dyed my hair. I'm naturally blonde." "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken." _____________________________ Cause it's football season: A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it, and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was, 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like, hello? It's only 25 cents!" _____________________________ Three blondes had boyfriends all named John and they kept getting confused. They decided to name them after sodas. The first girl said, "I'll call mine 7 Up, because he's seven inches and he's always up." The next girl said, "I'll call mine Mountain Dew, because he mounts me and knows exactly what to do." The last girl goes, "I'll call mine Jack Daniels." The other girls yelled at her and said, "That's not a soda! That's a hard licker!" _____________________________ Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Germany going to bomb Pearl Harbor again? If they do, it won't be over....again. Huh? I musta missed something. Think "Animal House" Aaaah. OK. Got it. I watched it one time when it first came out, thanks for connecting the dots. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

My respect for Bush was during Desert Shield/Storm. He put General Schwarzkopf in charge; gave him a mission and then got the hell out of his way and let him do his job. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Allow me to edit Ryoder's post a different way... For you poster's on here that think CNN is "Fake News;" I've included a link to your "Not Fake Fox News" as representative that both news organizations are saying the same thing about Sen.

Apparently polarization is a natural outcome, even when everybody acts in good faith. https://www.acsh.org/news/2018/11/28/polarization-society-even-scientists-become-tribal-13628 And, I agree that it may be a natural outcome, but shouldn't we be able to identify it and not act on it; once it's brought to our attention?

Brother, you and I both know that "trolling" is inevitable. But, I would ask you to look at how many diverse opinions we've lost just in the past two years. I've been motivated on more than one occasion to research things on my own because of a particular position. It's sure not the one-line snippets; but those who used to provide more than just breadth in a conversation, but the depth and application of a point. We used to do that. And, SC was full of those type of responses. We have lost so much. It either needs to change or SC will will be lost forever.

For the love of God SC has degenerated so much that even the same (and possibly last) ten active people on here cannot take even exchange jokes without trying to shred the skin off of each other. We used to talk WITH each other - Not AT each other. Course we used to see each other at boogies. Sit around the bonfire and discuss things. Now we just launch insults and petty attacks from hundreds or thousands of miles away. Would the last one to leave SC; please turn out the lights.

But, and I mean this with all sincerity - did not know that. Now, I gots to look up "Feminine" to make sure I get that right. EDIT: OK. so, I looked up Feminine and even Hofstede's use of, "In feminine societies," So, I apologize for using the word, "effeminate."

I get it, Bill. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Only ten years for the government to come up with a report acknowledging "The world's leading scientists agree that climate change is human-induced and warn that natural fluctuations in temperature are being exacerbated by human activity." I am more concerned about this for our children than I am the deficit. We can reverse the deficit; but at what point does this become irreversible. My experience with mankind is when it becomes too late. Is it possible that we get past the point of no return that we eradicate more of the world's population more so than any nuclear war could have?

After exchanging a couple of PM's on here with Bill. Allow me take a step back on "Effeminate," please. It sounds like you are using "effeminate" to mean weak, incapable, powerless, feeble. Unable to keep up. A pansy. Very much NOT my intent and if it's coming across that way - I'm not sure if it's something in my writing or if it's a legacy bias. Effeminate; to me and the way I read Hofstede's material - is a trait; not a behavior. In this thread - Bill used the word "Slur" when referring to "effeminate." It really caught me off-guard. I had never thought of the word effeminate as a slur; but a trait and something that is what it is... no different than green eyes, tall or short, white or black. I think there's nothing more beautiful than a woman that is strong, powerful, ambitious, goal achiever, etc. Their trait is female. Their actions are behaviors. A behavior can be changed; a trait is essentially impossible to change. For example, you may react to certain situations with anger or violence—but that is a learned behavior and can be changed. You are born with certain color eyes; even if you wear colored contacts, your eyes are still naturally the same color as they were when you were born. This is a trait. For me; I think the line of demarcation is the difference between using "effeminate" as a noun (From Latin; meaning woman" (Trait) to that of using "effeminate as an adjective which is derogatory, of a man or boy, exhibiting behaviors or mannerisms considered typical of a female." Quite frankly, I did not know this until looking it up. I have only known it as the noun. For me - the "trait" was being a woman; the behaviors something totally different. If the world believes the term "Effeminate" as an adjective and therefore; derogatory... perhaps I should change my verbiage.

It is a blessing of thanks for that year's harvest and until Lincoln made it a holiday - was celebrated at different times in different states. Many countries also observe Thanksgiving... not about immigrants - about giving thanks for the harvest (i.e., Japan has a Thanksgiving) Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Well, that's one way to avoid having to examine the fact that you're absolutely wrong on this one. I wouldn't have expected anything different. Have a good night. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
