Good Idea for Americans.

@mike,
Your charm is only out done by your unsolicited sarcasm. If you act like this in public, you must have to walk away a lot. 😉

No sarcasm there, and people usually think I’m off and don’t bother me. No one randomly knocks on my door, even neighbors.😁

Sounds like you go out of your way to be anti social.

No. I just don’t put myself in those positions often, but need to make the effort more. I’m horrible at small talk, making pointless conversation makes no sense to me or have the ability. If your different than the norm, quiet, don’t show emotions much unless there’s a reason, watch people and surroundings closely people judge.

It doesn't sound like @mike knows a whole lot about fighting. 😉

That's as may be. I can't say for sure.

It does seem obvious, at least, that a little girl has never kicked his ass. Too bad. He could learn from the experience.

Do you think the world might be better off if we all considered ourselves our brother's keeper? You might make more friends.

Agreed it is not strength or height, it is knowing what you are doing!

And knowing comes from doing. This is why I spar against dudes that can kick my ass. (And regularly do. I get black eyes and bruises enough that I've been called into the office at work and been notified that there is help available for domestic abuse. Usually by a woman supervisor. I just laugh. It's beyond their understanding that I give as well as I get.)

This is why I say, one should never underestimate their opponent no matter the sex or height of the person.

We don't know if he has ever even been in a fight. One would assume it would had to have happened at one time or other but we never know for sure. 😉

I was waiting for you to come in with that bs, you’re easy to read. Do you think I hate lgbtq people, I don’t and I’m not judging them, that’s not my place to do so. I’ve hired men and women that are gay and got along fine with them. The big problem I do have is the things being pushed on us, and doing to us and our children and women like it’s normal and should be for everyone without any say. Not to mention this group judging us if we disagree like you do very often. Live your lives do as you please but you’re putting your foot is some places it has no right being in, and sonnet or later it will backfire and cause more problems of your own making.

This is the big conservative lie. "Pushed on us" and "doing to us". Making yourselves the victim so you can push legislation against us. We don't want to force anyone into anything, but you sure do, with your anti-DEI and such. Yes, it IS normal, and all we want is to be treated equally. And NOT the Jim Crow-type "separate but equal", either. If you can't show some simple tolerance for your fellow humans, then too bad. But you guys can't even handle that. Yes, we will judge you if you continue to treat us as if we were the problem.

Really so the things I mentioned aren’t happening??? Have the balls to at least accept responsibility and quit playing the poor me victim card. It’s not like the whole world doesn’t see these things happening, the evidence is everywhere. For someone that doesn’t want to be hated you sure have a lot of it with little tolerance for anyone else. Live your life, be happy and stay out of ours. Keep the crap up and your doing nothing but building actual hate for your movement.

I think you are kind of making my point.

I'll bet you are a great neighbor. When was the last time you said no to someone? It's not the politics , it's the person.

What is your point? I’ve helped my neighbors every time they have ever asked me, some projects taking days to complete. I’ve offered my help to other neighbors across from me that I didn’t even know because I could do what they needed done much easier. I actually have a hard time saying no, I help people way more than I’m helped which is seldom. I actually like people, I’m just not good at at the social part. 90% of my temperament right now is extreme stress related. I also don’t know if politics is the right word to use.

My point is that our politics are diametrically opposed but we would be great neighbors. I don't say no either. Good people are good people. We would have a lot of fun just bustin' on each other over a beer.
