@averagejoe1 saidYou really do not pay attention to anything, do you?
I am so glad that you have a choice. If you lived in Korea, or some of Zahlanzi's or Shav's fave countries, you might not.
@averagejoe1 saidNo. You wrote that safety is not the government's business, and that military is needed for defense but not safety. I think you hit on key word known as 'protection' in an earlier post. The word 'protect' does not distinguish whether the threat is foreign invasion or not.
So you are saying military and defense have the same definition. I am merely telling you the difference in the two concepts.
So, what is a definition that would fit both words? Don't leave me, I love bouts such as this.
If the military were only needed for defense in the context of foreign invasion, they are receiving 10x more money than we should be paying them.
@AverageJoe1
Ah, so you figure big corps are SO benign they would NEVER dump toxic waste into a creek near homes and the like.
So let's dump the EPA, those folks can't stop those big bad corps dumping anyway, right?
Tell me, does the word ACCOUNTABILITY mean ANYTHING to you? Perhaps as it pertains to government regulating what big corps dump and such?
@wildgrass saidThat we pay too much for military I guess is for another thread, since you say just flat out that 'we are paying them more money than we should be paying them'. Where does it say that, I did not know that. Who thinks that? Reagan didn't think it, and he was a bit in-the-know than you are, so you should get a thread going to resolve that silly matter. Geez. A weak military....the USA...a weak military. You silly goose.

I said safety is not the government's business? Yet I wrote about FAA, OSHA, etc, all of which is safety, and handled by the govt?. You and Sonhouse are losing it. Strange bedfellows.
Why do you say 'protect' makes no distinction? a curious statement......
And yes, military is need for protection, which is the number one purpose of government.
So.....what is your issue one more time?

@sonhouse saidFunny you harp accountability so much but never on what is going on today with the FBI, etc etc etc, Adam Schiff, who should go to jail. Hey, let's just dwell on Accountability of Adam Schiff, who lied his ass off in hearings which cost us millions. Chew on that, I think we get it about Trump.

A nice adult conversation, how bad is Adam Schiff. Allow me to start you off with this 3 hour-old teaser, simple, goes right to the wrong doings of Biden, who, should be accountable...your word.
Then, we will consider Adam Schiff lies. Cool with you?

YOU POS. I am talking about bad companies dumping toxins into our creeks in defiance of laws which effects thousands and thousands of people with contaminated water and such, not talking about individuals.
You think you are getting somewhere weaponizing a simple statement?
You are one pathetic individual.
@averagejoe1 saidMy point was that the best stove should win. Lots of people value safety and don't want asthma. Gas stoves will phase out on their own.

@sonhouse saidAccountability is a phrase you use when it suits your point which in this case, has to do with toxic waste. Why would you write about toxic waste, while 100% of everybody in the universe agree, holding hands , that it is abominable, and that corporation s should be accountable for that. It is really boring the way you write about that and Trump all the time. So to make your post more interesting for our readers, I thought I would say that you will not apply the word accountability to the hell the USA is going on today. Today. Who is accountable for the invasion, for example. That would be the lawbreaking Biden. Should he be accountable? I think this sort of covers your post.

Hey, everyone… Would you rather discuss what is going on to do with Biden and his lawbreaking, or would you rather write about toxic waste, which we have written about for about 12 years? Watch out, sonHouse may be going into abortion next.
@wildgrass saidThe overall issue, is that we should not ever have to give up our liberty and freedom, and that includes using a gas stove. Can you imagine all of us, throwing away our woks!??!? Heaven forbid. Have you heard about anything else that the government is coming after, I wish we could all agree to apprise everybody of the next surprise.

@averagejoe1 saidBooks. Ronnie de Santis wants to take books. It's the conservatives banning those though, and actually banning rather than simply suggesting the possibility, so maybe you didn't get the memo.

@wildgrass saidI am not one to comment here, as I always will think there are 2 genders, and that there will always be 2 genders. Silly old me. It follows that I do not see why my 11 year old needs to study activities of people who are attempting to disrupt our world of 2 genders. Nor to study sexual activities of those people. Do you think the books tell how two gay people have sex, all that stuff? Do you think Sonhouse would want his daughter in that class, reading that book, with pictures? I am just asking here.

Please one of you libs tell old AvJoe where I am wrong. Give us a solid comment for discussion, please no more silliness.
@averagejoe1 saidJust for the record, this is ol average Joe making an argument in favor of governments banning books.
