I Am Aware That Some People Like Me And Some People Hate Me

There's an old saying that's really not used much nowadays, "there's nowt queerer than folk" - it dates before the time when it wasn't politically incorrect and has nothing derogatory about gay people..

The pure meaning of the phrase stuck me today.. when I came home to find a rant from a young *lady* completely missing the whole premise of what I'd said and telling me how uneducated I am! She also told me I am very old :P

And then, having clearly taken the trouble to PM me - she blocked me..

What made the rant so interesting though was... that her post telling me how uneducated I am, and how SHE was educating me... was riddled with grammatical mistakes and whining that illiterate isn't a proper word!

It kinda made me smile as I sat and pondered the irony of the very poor grasp she had on grammar.. And I shook my head and thought.. there really is nowt queerer than folk... What I like about people is their sheer unpredictability, their randomness, their weirdness even.. and sure as heck she was weird :)

Does this sum it up!
@HueyPLong She’s actually pretty smart. Her opponents don’t like her politics so it’s easier to attack her intelligence. 😳

Saying on a good day she has moments of brightness. Lol
@HueyPLong Like I said, people who disagree with her politics find it easier to attack her intelligence.

@bijouxbroussard Bingo. the fact that the conservative memes about AOC are all about how she's dumb is really telling.

@bijouxbroussard Have you been paying attention her idea of a New Green Deal would be in the sum of 93 trillion dollars or more.
It's impossible and mean impossible to attempt to even consider this this country would fall into depths of hell. Rolling black outs so get ready when these power plants go off line and you can't evening power up your phone or computer etc...
Your basic means of travel to and from will no longer exist so you better get a 🚲 or a mule to get around.
Renewable Enery hope you do understand how it actually works you just don't run a wire from your solar panels or your wind mill and flip the lights on.
Question how many square miles let's say to power New York City with solar panels to meet just the average needs. 🤔
You might want to do a little more resreach how power is made and harness plus route it to the grid might open your eyes.

Now a free stuff for everyone health care,food,housing,education etc.... What happens when you run out of free shot and machines have shut down to make your daily needs better learn how the homesteaders living hunting,gardening
Sewing....
Tax the wealthy 70 % of thier income of course why didn't I think of that Since they earned it.
Hope you win the lottery and it's over that threshold of 10 million plus and see your lucky win become small and small every tax time.
As AOC and rest of those bloodsuckers live high on the hog at your and my expense.
While the rest will eventually for into the ranks of other countries with crime, health issues,education for what for a lost society,no jobs but become the help from the wealthy.
It all sounds great until you implement this Green New Deal and watch the doiminoes fall and definitely effect your life and others.
@HueyPLong You are making several assumptions here, because nowhere did I say that I agreed with everything she’s proposed. But unlike you, I’m not writing it off as a lack of intelligence or something to make fun of. I get that her being female is another reason for condescension. Probably why you’re directing a bit at me, as well. My eyes are open.

@bijouxbroussard Sorry you took that way and do apologize.
But if everyone would look at what these policies these folks are trying to put in place would effect your way of life and mine plus others.
I appreciate you defending her but all these politicians say sum of dumbest shit and think myself my goodness hope their are not real that stupid.

Where does this myth come about free stuff? I'm genuinely fascinated. Because it works in civilised countries, it isn't free, but neither is the population held hostage to the insurance and pharma companies who have a massive lobby influence, so of course they'd trot out the sky would fall in without them, natch.
