Off-Topic Discussion

If you had asked me, I never would have thought I would see this. I knew this was the most tense and volatile election in American history, second only possibly to Lincoln. If things continue the way they are going, we WILL be in a second civil war. This will be remembered as the action that sparked it off. If you’re an American citizen, and you’re not scared, then you’re not paying attention. Foreigners need to pay attention as well, because if things get any worse, this could easily spill over the borders. No matter what the distance.

I ran this topic by staff, and was told it was ok to post. I have seen a lot of talk about piercing and tattooing. There's a lot of people out there that want a tattoo, but don't know the full risk if you don't find a clean responsible tattoo artist and shop. There are not only blood born diseases such as hepatitis and HIV, but also others such as flesh eating bacteria. The pictures I am posting here are for people to see so that they know the risk if they think cutting corners is ok. If you do cut corners, you can lose more than the $20 you spent for the tattoo. Your life could be on the line. If you go to a shop that apparently has a good reputation, but you get on…

Adolf is out, and Hero Joe is President! The nation can finally be fixed and run correctly. 4 years of hell under a nazi dictatorship are finally over.

Chris Cillizza | 07 February 2017 "And the unflattering sendup by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job, where he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the “opposition party,” and developing a functional relationship with the press." --washingtonpost.com Sean Spicer is on thin ice because Melissa McCarthy played him on ‘Saturday Night Live’ ___________________________________________________________ Another reason to worry whether or not Trump will re-visit some way to repeal TGLB protections?

The Blues took the cup. I’ve always hated them, but to see them win, royally sucks. I don’t have any feelings towards Boston one way or another. I’m a Detroit Red Wings fan. But the Blues are the one team I can’t stand. Every sports fan has theirs. The team they worship and the team they want to drop a nuke on. And the latter won the Stanley Cup. 🤬🤬🤬

OK. So as most of you guys probably know...When you fall and crack your chin open, it makes it really hard to shave. So, I now have all these long hairs on my chin. What do you think? Chin braid? Or maybe i am just starting a new fashion trend. Just thought I'd give you all a chuckle.

I have always felt that one of my purposes in life was to take care of my family. At 3 years old, my parents had a big fight and my Mom ran out and jumped into the car. I remember like it was yesterday, something inside me told me to jump in the car with her. She told me years later that she was planning on crashing the car...taking her life, but she saw me with her and couldn't do it. I have always felt my life purpose has been to be there for my family, even when they weren't there for me. I am now my Dad's primary caregiver. Took him to the VA on Thursday and they declared him legally blind. Also, with my Mom and my sister, they have always had a strain…

It was the 70s, lol

What type of kid were you as you were growing up? Everyone was something different, but usually had something in common. I'm just curious to see how people grew up. I highly doubt any of us came out at the age of 3, and that most of us were forced to succumb to social conformity. I myself was a goth and a loner. Severely outcast. Dark, brooding, dangerous. I'm still that way, but more calculating. And in some cases completely the opposite. I've always been open minded, though that may not show. So what were ya?

I work nights and bust my butt. There is another janitor that works the same hours and for 4 hours spends her time having breakfast...sleeping in people's offices that are on vacation...etc. And, we get paid the same hourly wage. I hate to be a snitch, but I am getting tired of it. What would you do?

Planter's has killed off Mr. Peanut! WTH's wrong with them? Mr. Peanut....dead at 104! 😢 I remember seeing him all the time on the boardwalk in Atlantic City when I was little

So my Dad is a veteran. He is 85 and relies on having a visiting nurse help him out and the maid service that they also provide. Now he finds out that the government is cutting those services. He has no idea if or when anyone will show up. Also, this government has cut funding for Section 8 housing. So now, people that can't afford rent, have to come up with more money. (Guess they could stop eating.) And now Obama wants to cut the yearly cost of living increase for people on Social Security. All this while both the president and vice-president take million dollar vacations every month. On tax dollars of course. I find this sickening!!

Ok I'll get this started Iron Maiden : Dance of Death

Y'all know the drill here. I say a word and you post the first word that comes to your mind, then the next person follows, and so on. We might just learn something about your personality from this old psychological quiz. So here's the word: NEW

Thanks for the suggestion, Daneela! Heinrich Ollendorff meant well. The grammarian intended his phrasebooks to teach German, French, Danish, and Russian to a new generation of language students. But who would ever need to speak these sentences? * Stop, the postilion has been struck by lightning! * A man is drowning. Is there a life buoy, a rope, a grapnel at hand? * Unhand me, sir, for my husband, who is an Australian, awaits without. * After having lost all my money, I was beaten by bad-looking men; and, to my still greater ill luck, I hear that my good uncle, whom I love so much, has been struck with apoplexy. Ironically, he’s remembered…

Amid many horrific news articles about genders lives this article comes in on lighter note. Only six countries have equal rights for men and women, World Bank finds By Rob Picheta and Kieron Mirchandani, CNN Posted at 1610 GMT (0010 HKT) March 2, 2019 london (CNN) — The world is moving towards legal gender equality -- but it's moving very, very slowly. Only six countries currently give women and men equal rights, a major report from the World Bank has found. That's an increase -- from zero -- compared to a decade ago, when the organization started measuring countries by how effectively they guarantee …

The commentary is by a gay contributor, about gay people...but throughout the commentary, the word "gay" can easily be replaced by "trans." -Mike Barb Hamp Weicksel - SDGLN Contributor, February 5th, 2013 "There was a whole lot of discussion in our home this week about whether or not we have the right – or as some would say – the responsibility -- to “out” someone. Is this something we in the gay community are required to do? And are we especially required to do it when the person in question is a closeted gay and works against the gay community?" --Weicksel, sdgln.com COMMENTARY: Given the chance, would you or could you “out” someone?
