    Well, I guess that solves things.

    Biden Outlines COVID Plan As Experts Warn of Global Food Shortages

    U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he has a plan to help the U.S. fight the coronavirus outbreak.

    “After all this time the president still does not have a plan,” Biden said. “Well, I do.”

    Biden said Thursday in his acceptance speech at the virtual Democratic convention that his plan would include a national mask-wearing mandate and immediate rapid testing results. His plan would also call for increased manufacturing of medical supplies in the U.S.

    Biden added that he would ensure that schools have whatever they need to “open, safe and effective.”

    So if you hate it here so much.... why are you here? Serious question, and I'm not suggesting you go away, I really don't want you to.

    But if I felt the level of dissatisfaction with everyone else's posts that you seem to, I'd probably give the place a pass.

    You aren't going to reform any other poster, much less all of them, so why beat your head against the wall?

    It goes in waves. Because I'm a Blazer fanatic and feel a connection to anyone else here because of that. I've explained that before.

    My level of dissatisfaction is not universal to all here. Only to some. And its mostly because of instances like this.

    The continual twisting of words, attacking posters without knowing the context of their post(ive been guilty and try to be aware and admit wrong doing if so)

    Even you have been a part of that dissatisfaction because you will get into these modes where instead of answering a question legitimately, you do a spin off and answer questions with questions.

    Its not constructive.

    Trust me. Sometimes I ask myself why the hell am I here.....Its the same people day after day telling everyone their opinions are the only right ones and if you disagree with those people then you are part of the problem... they imply. (hence my comments about others being part of the problem, it was in mockery)

    And if you treat them the way they treat you, then you're a condescending, demeaning, insulting person.

    I mean River is a perfect example. I tagged him. he doesn't know why. But immediately took it as a sign of disrespect. Then continues to go on and say he isn't gonna read why I tagged him and basically just assumes I was being disrespectful.

    This is complete insanity to me... yet its these people who belittle anyone who disagrees with them.


    I don't expect anyone to change, but it sure would be nice if people would be more aware of their double standards and hypocritical behavior.

    There are half a dozen or so posters who post daily their opinions as facts and belittle anyone who disagrees. When you treat them the same, they get butt hurt.

    Ive never been in a group environment where so many people are incapable of having constructive conversations without feeling the need to insult or demean those who disagree. Course ive never been part of any other forum other than this. I speak mostly of real life groups.

    It would be even nicer if someone gave me a trillion dollars and made me King.

    That's a bit like saying "I've never met a person with a vagina. Of course, I've never been around any women. I speak mostly of men."

    Yes, this is different than real life. I recommend accepting that as reality.

    I'm the grumpy old fart that gives school children the finger as they walk past my run down house on their way to school or home from school. Usually it's on their way home from school because when they head for school at 9 am I'm still asleep with a hangover from my drunken rowdiness the night before. Now excuse me, I've got to get to the store and get me a pack of unfiltered Camels and a six pack of PBS beer to go with my sweat stained T-shirt, boxer shorts, old sandals and week old stubble that I have when I sit on my rocking chair cussing and giving the finger to the small kiddies. All of which is paid for with my welfare check and some money selling dope to kids. ps My hair looks like that Trump doctor's hair. Now, you kids get the hell off my lawn! If I see you riding your little tricycles in the street one more time I'm gonna run over them with my truck. That's what I am. You're not that character that distributes free popcycles and ice cream to the little kiddies, are you? I'm your doppelganger.

    Definitely debatable in some cases.

    Assuming that was true and I see no reason why it would have been true, it's the last time Trump will get a whiff of Biden's rear end. Yeah, Trump can kiss his ass goodbye as Biden heads for the finish line.

    I’m not talking about mailing it in. I’m talking about someone from Trumps side flipping on the DNC convention and being swayed. Maybe four people in the country are capable of that at this point. It just seems like the conventions are just to fire up the current base which is fine I guess but these speeches aren’t being heard by 95% of Trump voters. So what’s the point.

    I'll find it for you, but I saw a poll that showed the number of people who change their votes based on conventions is actually sort of high (much higher than I thought).

    Dear barfo,
    You can't be king. That position has been filled. I will allow you to be Vice King as long as you sign a non disclosure document wherein you promise to worship me and kiss my feet and ass whenever called on. This has never been done before, right?

    I'm having issues finding it but I thought I saw earlier a study showed that 14-19% (one of those two) of likely voters wait until the conventions to make a decision.
    I guess the explanation would be a lot of people don't pay attention to politics until it's time to vote.
    Edit: I'm in a hurry to get out of the office I'll look this evening. If I'm wrong about that number I apologize.

    I guess I could see that in any other election...but things are so different now and so polarizing I just can’t imagine someone undecided at this point. Doesn’t seem possible
