  1. Knock if off Goose. When you run the world, you can run exactly the way you want it to be. (You don't actually run it....do you? If so, I apologize.)
  2. It took fifty years and millions of aborted human lives to get us into the above, thoroughly outlined, mess. It’s not going to be fixed in a month. Trust the process!
  3. It’s not up to me (or you) to decide what each side is willing to accept. You’ve clearly never negotiated for anything in your life or sat through a mediation or arbitration process in a civil suit. I have. And I can tell you that everyone walks into the room with your attitude. And some hours later everyone walks out with a solution. It happens THOUSANDS of times each and every day.
  4. Are you clueless? The broker doesn’t set the terms. They negotiate and facilitate them. Have you ever bought a house? Sheeesh!
  5. I just said the Biden Administration needs to broker the peace! Hello? Is this thing on?
  6. Questions......Is this ranking with, or without, Zach Ertz?
  7. I'm stilling waiting to find out who stopped the military coup? When will we hear from that witness? Please tell me it wasn't that gal from the steno pool who heard something from the friend of a friend.
  8. My home has been solar powered for the last fifteen years. I'm not trying to be holier than thou. My point is that everyone can talk a good story, but you can indeed make choices in your life that have a far greater impact (if there is one to be made) than the Elitists flying around the globe attending conferences and eating off the appetizer cart while sucking back drinks from the open bar.
  9. It's called 'brokering the peace'. What solution are you holding your breath over? Besides screaming PUTIN at everyone 24/7.
  10. Funny you put it that way. I don’t have his phone number…but I’m betting that the Biden Administration does.
  11. Note that I didn’t say you’d be able to grow ALL of your food in the restaurant parking lot. 😂 But the concept still applies. The closer you are to the point of consumption, the more efficient the source of energy. That’s not a political statement of any kind. It’s just a fact.
  12. If you’re making a reference to Climate Change, I’m pretty sure the roof on the new stadium will be way down on the list of priorities. 😉
  13. London isn’t all that windy but it does rain a lot. Remember, the European soccer season spans the cooler, wetter, part of the year. They’re less worried about sun. I hope that helps.
  14. I’m not sure I’d go that far but the Good Samaritan is generally misunderstood.
  15. Bingo! Put another way….There’s no difference between farm to table food and farm to table energy.
  16. I’m betting that 99% of Americans don’t even understand the underlying teaching point of the story of the Good Samaritan.
  17. Not trying to be nasty Alf, but your statistics are spot on. And the US could easily find itself in the exact same predicament if we’re not careful. Regarding my reference, I’m going to guess you don’t know the story told in that episode do you? Look it up. You’ll learn something.
  18. Yes. The stadiums have a solid roof. Because of how they design soccer stadiums with fans sitting just a few feet from the touch line (sideline) the front row seats can get wet with wind driven rain but everyone is dry. Piece of cake!
  19. Excellent…we agree. I’m serious about the Star Trek episode. Good science fiction takes you out of the constraints of your current location and time to tell a story that makes you pause and think. I recommend you find the episode on a streaming source somewhere.
  20. You don’t think it’s time to stop this? Really? You think that after six months the solution is going to be found in more arms sales and Twitter handles?
  21. Tibs, pretty much the entire world supports Ukraine. That’s not the issue. The problem is that there’s nobody trying to stop this. All we have are kids on the playground surrounding the bully and the victim screaming and cheering them on. Where’s the adult? Who’s going to step in, pull them apart, and break it up? This has gone on way more than long enough. It’s past time to send everyone to the Principal’s Office. This reference is going to be a bit wonky but I urge you to watch an episode from the original Star Trek series called “A Taste of Armageddon”. (I remembered the story but had to look up the title.)
  22. Nice try Tibs. You're zealous appetite for a foreign conflict is positively ghoulish! (By the way, I didn't approve of Bush's war either.) (And adopting other people's kids is not the intent of the pro-life movement.)
