    I left 44 years ago.
    It was not a bad commute at all from West Linn to downtown when I first began doing it. Rather a pain in the ass by the time I left.
    I can not imagine being subjected to that torture now.

    Yes, a paragraph is quite the expansion.

    Well considering he struggles to put together coherent sentences a paragraph would be monumental to him.:biglaugh:

    44 years ago was a pain in the ass commuting from West Linn to downtown Portland? Were you still using the horse and buggy? :dunno:

    Yeah, I'm calling bogus on that one. It wasn't that bad 20 years ago, it wouldn't have been that bad 40+ years ago. Hell, in 1977 there was about 300K less people in Portland, let alone the rest of the suburbs.

    You should find a homeless camp closer to the freeway on ramp you beg for money at.

    I read that and thought: why is he talking about the (fairly recent) year 1977 instead of 42 years ago? Then I figured out that '77 actually was 42 years ago. Holy shit, I've gotten so old.

    It wasn't so bad 20 years ago but if I'd stayed, I'd have bought a house in Wilsonville...looked at some...I made the right choice moving to the woods. My commute to work for most of my years up to retiring here in Lane county was about 6miles round trip for one job and 8 for the other.

    Since they put the boulders in, it's made my commute longer. But it's ok, your backyard is actually quite nice, good spot for sleeping and a secluded place to poop also.

    Yes, their superiority is racist and against the race of Nazi fascists. I guess, although I'm not sure about your definition of Nazi fascism as a race.

    I'm talking about how Maris said that Antifa was racist. I then surmised that he must have meant a race of Nazi fascists since that is what defines Antifa's alleged superiority over. I went on to question his definition of Nazi facsists as a race.

    I see... Though in this case I was commenting on his take on China and basically the rest of the world being terrible.

    Sorry, my post was misplaced in error. Should have been directed at Maris.
