Oh you do that, Biden. And Netanyahu, being profoundly interested in our point of view and well known for being open minded, will surely sit down and listen respectively and take your comments into account.

Netanyahu has one characteristic; it is self-serving and that means a total bloodbath for sport. It will never change its programming. But you just go ahead and try to get this filthy piece of stinking scum to recognize it’s own fatal flaw. That will the day. That will certainly be the great day we all so fucking richly hope for.

Sure, they demand change. And I would like to see a flying pig with purple and gold spots. We can all soothe ourselves with magical thinking that, somehow, all of a sudden, people will become humane, smart, caring and worthwhile.

I’ve been alive 7 decades and have seen 7 decades of war in the mid-East, of people hating police, of police brutality, of crime, of degeneracy, of hyped-up shit-brained plutocrats thinking they are the saviors of mankind, of protests, and hate and war mongering and sickness.

Nothing will change. The only outcome, to any of this, under any circumstances, is an all-out nuclear war, which if we are lucky will come sooner than later. Sweet oblivion. Total eradication of human filth - that is the only possible and hopeful course for the future of this planet.

There was no chance Putin wouldn’t stay in office, more’s the pity as it says all that needs be said about why mankind is unreedemable and unworthy of any sort of salvation. Humanity is a cesspool, and Putin is just one of many pieces of feces that swirl around thinking it is better than the rest of the stinking filth swirling around it.

Why can’t we just have the nuclear war we were meant to have by now? Why is it taking so long for us to hit those buttons and get this nasty shit over with once and for all? It’s the only outcome that will ever be possible, why are we prolonging it??

AI could be a creative tool for good, in the right hands; unfortunately, most people will use it to produce crap and to spread sick disinformation that, in many cases, will be libelous if not downright corrupt. The art of persuasion should have guardrails because, essentially, most people are pimps who stink excuses.

What’s sad is, here in Utah our representatives are actively working against EPA emission standards and passing laws to restrict what the government can require from industries that produce greenhouse gases. Of course most of our legislature are shareholders in big oil and gas companies, so it’s no surprise that for them, money always comes first no matter what.

Hold me I’m scared.

It makes more logical sense to use the serial comma in this example. Bread, butter, and tax evasion are three separate things. If you leave the comma off, it becomes “bread, butter and tax evasion” suggesting that the butter and tax evasion go together with each other. Give me some butter on my tax evasion, please.

Jesus H. Fuckin Christ almighty, we human beings are fucked up. A simple common sense concept such as getting people vaccinated against a pandemic disease turns into a huge political global firestorm about control and sovereignty and other ridiculously unimportant crappola, not to mention all the fucked up misinformation spread by evil corrupt people. I really believe we must innoculate the human race most effectively by simply nuking everyone to death and doing away with human beings for good. People are evil and stupid and without any hope of redemption.

Israel has absolutely no right to reject the two-state solution. I’m beginning to feel that Israel itself has no right to exist any longer. The only outcome that will ever work in any way, under any circumstances, is to allow Palestine to have it’s own independence and its own territory. If Israel rejects that idea, we need to reject Israel and do our best to wipe them off the face of the earth for the good of the rest of mankind.

This insipid and cruel war against Palestine has got to end. I admit I wasn’t particularly on anyone’s side to start with, but now Israel has turned a singular day of violence into a bloodthirsty crusade of horror.

More killing will not solve anything, and now that Gaza is a blasted wasteland, there can’t be any winners at all. The love of killing other humans has got to stop - it just has to stop and we have to undertake psychological healing and promotion of peaceful ideals and quit inculcating young impressionable and easily coerced men with the idea that murder is ever justified for any reason.

Well you’re right, I can’t argue with you there. The pervasive sense of doomerism and love of gun violence that is our modern society has turned me very cynical about death. I don’t think you can have it both ways - culture of violence and also being upset when violence happens. That was really just where I was coming from.

Trust me no one is more pacifistic and in love with the idyll of a peaceful world than I am.

Meh, he’s better off. Life is better to those who live the least of it.

Human “civilization” is just another label for eternal hell without end.

And I’m not afraid of having a public execution, whether they know that or not. They have no power to scare me with anything. I’m a gay man, I’m great - and I know that I am a bigger part of a greater intelligence out there. There’s nothing another human can do to take any of that away even in death. I am no one’s scapegoat, and cannot be made one.

Death is a just a step to becoming something bigger and better than men have achieved on earth.

Well it’s the truth. Look at the world and what’s going on, it’s never been any different. I was born in the late 50s, the middle east was at war even back then. Russia was a threat to the rest of the world back then also.

And it wouldn’t matter if the with refugees in Indonesia was resolved, or the Gaza strip was given back (now that it’s a total ruin) to the Palestinians. Men would soon find some other reason to go to war and kill each other. That’s what we do. We need to invent excuses to use our weapons to feel justified in splattering blood all over the planet.

Hooray for us. Can we please just have the nuclear war already and get this stupid thing over with already??

As I said previously there’s absolutely no way anyone could force me to live a lie or pretend I’m not gay, even under threat of execution. I’d SO much rather be dead that live in a world where I have to be something I am not and live a baldfaced lie. It’s such a damn shame that Russia is such a filthy country full of small-minded bigoted assholes, when their most famous composers and writers were all gay. To spit on their own culture and their own wealth of contributions to the world -really a god damn fucking shame.

This is what humans are. Evil assholes who are only good at ruining and destroying the lives of other humans. This is all that humans can do, and all we’ll ever achieve. Get used to it.

I was in Beijing and travelled west across China and over two weeks’ time, and there was no city where the population wasn’t totally overcrowded at every turn. Visiting the Great Wall was like being in Walmart here on Black Friday - no elbow room at all. And in most public spaces we were shoulder to shoulder with other people all the time. I decrease in their enormous population could only be for the better in the long run.

They could threaten me with public execution and there is no way at all that I’d ever apologize for being gay. It isn’t anything that requires an apology and nobody has any right to ask for one. Given that most of Russia’s most prolific writers and composers were gay, it’s fucking terrible that Russia is still so mired in small-minded bigotry and hate for their own culture.

I don’t know of any off hand, I was in a discussion with someone else here about linguistics but because I disagreed with a point they made, they called me an idiot and stopped communicating. I mean, right there is an example of what I mean about being open to other people’s ideas rather that dismissive of everything.

Like I said I’m an English major and have always been a short story writer, so language is quite important to me and yet I know that some of my ideas are from the older ways of thinking about language (after all, it was over 40 years ago that I got my degree). And I try not to ever deliberately exclude people if I happen to use old-school ways of labeling men and women.

That comes from the place I was educated and the beliefs I had growing up, not any desire to be ignorant to others at all. In fact I always hope that my writing can reach across barriers in some way.

Well I’m a cis male also, and very openly gay (though I still don’t really think that word describes anything about me other than sexual preference). It’s great that you are secure enough to be able to enjoy the possibilities of wearing anything you want, including ear rings or ear piercings or nail polish.

And yeah, I mean I’m open about being gay but I don’t own a rainbow flag or a teddy bear, and my favorite film isnt’ “The Wizard of oz.” (How’d that even get associated with us is something I’m still baffled about). Yet people can sometimes tell I’m gay, and some are cool with it while others suddenly seem like I insulted their mom and never talk to me again. Good for me!

You’re right that we should at least try to be inclusive when we talk with each other. Insults and put downs just shut people down and keep them from having open honest communication.

Your paragraph makes perfect sense to me. I will say that I do sometimes find it very confusing what to say to say in gender-neutral situations. It’s hard because I’m an English major and very old-school, so when someone says “they” to mean “her or him,” it sort of feels like a road bump I overlooked but not on purpose.

if that makes sense. Language is alive and active and it should be inclusive also wherever possible. That also means not hating on people like me who sometimes still use pronouns in an old-school kind of way.
