My favourite time of day is 7:30-8pm. I like to go out and walk my dog around the bay. PINNEDParents are bringing their kids home from the beach, young couples and friends are sitting around fires on the sand. Some people are walking off meals they’ve eaten in the restaurants by the marina. Everyone is calm and positive and happily going...See More »
Have you met the online expert yet? PINNED Poorly spelt memes, a scan read of a Wikipedia page and a YouTube video, and suddenly they are an intellectual beyond question.
How often do you see a venting post here, and wish you could hear the other persons side of the story? PINNEDAll those embellishments and exaggerations just to carry a point…
Airline seats should not be able to recline. If I wanted to spend 6 hours with your wife’s head in my lap I’d expect a steak dinner from her first. PINNED
To those of you who practice moderation and free thinking I raise a glass to you. PINNED You haven’t been indoctrinated by the left or the right. You think about policies when voting rather than supporting “your side”. And in every scenario you stop and think, is this the right thing for my country and people - even the ones I disagree...See More »
I’ve recently been recently about people’s memories of what it was as like to live in countries that no longer exist.East Germany, Rhodesia, Yugoslavia. Not the politics of it but more how people lived. These places have negative images particularly in the west, but the people who lived through their time have many happy memories, and think modern society is...See More »
You will do the most unforgivable things when you convince yourself “the ends justify the means.”And then believe yourself to be above judgement or retribution. It’s a joke.
What do you suppose would happen if, as things stand in the world currently, a city sized alien craft arrived on earth today?
It’s curious to think the 2024 US election could start world war 3.Putin will go for the Baltic states knowing Trump being a charlatan will not honor the North Atlantic Treaty, thus pushing most of Europe into a war with Russia. Iran will go to war with Israel and possibly the much depleted Iraq. China will invade...See More »
Recent war films are more like psychological thriller/horror survival films. I approve of this. Even for the Victor war should not be a gaudy thing.Films like Dunkirk, the German release of All Quiet on the Western Front and even Hollywood’s Fury still show courage, valor and decency but the same time in the face of a much more plausible horror, life under the constant threat of death, enormity...See More »
With the failure of The Marvels, maybe Marvel will finally get the message that after 20 years of unimaginative films, people are bored of super herosDo something new and different, or stop. Preferably stop.
It is curious how easily people will let themselves be manipulated, providing it sits comfortably in their existing bias.Hamas’s plan is working: Kill hundreds of Israelis at random, knowing full well the Israeli military will over react and kill Palestinians in return, thus outraging the western world, but apparently not other Arab countries, thus reducing Israel’s...See More »
11 Americans, 8 Brits. Hamas doesn’t seem to be worried who they kill when they slaughter indiscriminately.It’s hardly serving the Palestinian cause. This feels like it’s something else that has nothing to do with making life better for the average Palestinian.
How do Christian folk cope knowing that their family has been Christian for about 1500 years, but for milenia prior your family worshipped other gods…and got along just fine
Someone calling your 13 year old daughter “jail bait” is a legitimate reason to take a person by the throat and batter them senseless.This is a fact, not a debating point.
I don’t understand age gap relationships. I’m not in the market for one, but I look at young women and they appear to be headaches and drama.So I’ll thank my lucky stars I’m spoken for.
Current electric cars aren’t an answer to any problem. But we shouldn’t discourage people from trying new options.Imagine modern cynics trolling the Wright brothers: “All that waste and time to fly ten feet at a height of two feet from the ground. Airplanes will never take off.”
I saw a beetle this morning on its back. I flipped it over so it could crawl away only for a woman to stamp on it in disgust. I hope karma is watchingPerhaps the universe will decide to her help in a moment of vulnerability, only to stamp on her.
Is it okay to like some of the letters of LGBTQ but not all of them?In my opinion you can love who you want to love but identifying as something you are not is counterproductive, and should not be allowed under the age of minority on the grounds that children are not of sound mind legally speaking.
My sister buys antiques, which is nice until you realise you’re sat in a room full of dead people’s stuff.It’s a lovely mirror, but if it’s haunted and I see a face that isn’t mine in it, I’m leaving through a window and never coming back…
Everyone is a little racist, a little biased. So long as that person is deciding to not allow that to influence their behaviour, the job is done.
