CNN to host a seven hour bitchathon trumpeting the "climate crisis." Ten Democrat candidates, one after the other, 40 minutes each.

Possibly the worst broadcast idea since Fischer versus Spassky

The part that gets me, when you salt them they squeal.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

Maybe so, but this video is definitely not one of their finer offerings, IMHO......TBonz said:

Speaking of poop:
Here's the idea: Australian conservationists figure if they shove poop from a koala that eats messmate eucalyptus up the butt of a koala that eats gum eucalyptus, then that second koala will eat messmate, which there are more messmate trees, so...

I think the study may confuse cause with effect. If Nana's mind has dulled, then she's not apt to have figured out how to keep track of the great grandchildren via fakebook, twatter, instapron, and the rest. If she has kept sharp, then she's more apt to have. It's not that her tablet and phone have made her smart; it's that she's engaged enough to use them.

'Harry Potter' books banned from Catholic school because reading spells 'risk conjuring evil spirits'0

If you take the Bible seriously (and I do), there is a logical connection between follow one’s faith and not stirring up Satan and his minions. That is one reason why there are biblical prohibitions against attempts at sorcery, telling the future, etc.jd50ae said:'Harry Potter' books banned from Catholic school because reading spells 'risk conjuring evil spirits'
“Ghost hunters,” generally, don’t have any idea of the nature of the entities they are trying to contact.
On on the other hand, if you don’t believe in the veracity of the Bible, the school’s approach is not going to make any sense.=-=-=-=

Yes, but it’s not the same format as those other insipid, time-wasting ones such as fakebook, twaddle, (or is that twiddle?), instascam, etc. Neither is it a chat room. This one’s a forum. You can google the difference if you’re so inclined.silvermouse said:um, this is social media....
But I take your point. I’m here for the social aspects of a forum devoted to a hobby in which I have an interest. I don’t, however, belong to any other forums or forms of social intercourse because, frankly, they bore and annoy me.
