That phrase appeared in the 80s when I was a teen. Have always hated it, but more so as an adult. Especially annoying when you hear a grown person use it.

I voted for both McCain and Romney but I was cognizant of both of their deficits. Now more so. I despise both. I will absolutely not vote for any RINO now. Trump has forever ruined me. To be completely upfront, it will be hard for me to vote for any career politician for President. I think most are weasels to varying degrees. About the only one that would be presidential material, IMO, and from whom I get very good vibes from, would be DeSantis. But Trump was the perfect prescription for our country in 2016...and 2020. It’s too bad we had/have so many evils in place that hounded his every waking (and sleeping) moment.

I agree with all but one... I still say if you give me a troop of Boy Scouts, two pickups, and a dozen Radio Flyer wagons, I could have cleared out the WMD’s in the 18 months between the threats and the invasion.

Hi.

I don’t do mask debates. If a person wants to wear a mask, fine. The First lady and me don’t wear masks.

So one day I’m in a store and Karen comes up to me and asks, where is your mask?

I replied that I don’t wear a diaper on my face because it is useless regarding a virus.

Karen is a bit taken back and says, the CDC says you must wear a mask.

So I said, Karen I stopped believing the alphabet agencies long long ago. From the FBI to the IRS. From ATF to DoS. All are corrupt and lie. Do me a favor and google Ft. Detick MD and see what it says...

The story ends with me telling here that I had been to Ft. Detrick and explained that the Army personnel while in the BL 4 labs wear self contained space suits.

Karen just walked away into the dairy isle.

Now we have epidemics of duck-face selfies, gender dysphoria, aggressive illogic, social media addiction, delusions of self-importance, reading incomprehension, compulsive lying, inoculations of poison, and gratuitous masking.

Thanks BenLurkin. The author misses the point -- this is built into us, and the wonder is, it doesn't happen more often, or perhaps it does, but we just don't recognize this until the behavior is an outlier.

Gender dysphoria is a great example. The number of girls wanting to be boys is up 2500% in the last 10 years. Boys wanting to be girls is up 100%.

Back in the 1400’s(?) there was a hysteria where people believed they were made of glass! One of the Kings (France?) at the time had to be packed in straw and a wooden crate to be carried to the bathroom! The hysteria lasted for 100 years or so.

This has potential for a new Undead Thread.

Let me run it past the censors *ahem* sensors and see if they approve. If they do, would it be possible to hijack this thread for low fun?
