Although I'd also add "Never trust the facts of people with causes against causes either."<br /><br />Admittingly, if my style is offensive and lead people to ignore them, then I'm not helping anyone else in my efforts. Then at least I have what I've learned from Stuart and others like you.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked the MOA, not my cup of tea, but I suppose it brings in the tourists. <br /><br />Myself, I'm looking forward to the new Viking Stadium indoor running, which starts on Tuesday. I don't approve billion dollar stadiums build half on tax dollars, but $3 for 3 hours of indoor running in the cold of winter is a good deal.<br />https://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/10/21/us-bank-vikings-stadium-opening-for-skaters-runners<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6603752081363210862016-12-09T16:48:40.026-08:002016-12-09T16:48:40.026-08:00Ares, you are so silly.

You just cut-and -paste, cut-and-paste. <br /><br />I hope you're having fun, because if you're not... well... enjoy the Minnesota cold! I am home now in Detroit, and will not miss it.

Ares, that's very strong language.<br /><br />What do you call someone who promises to build a wall and demand his neighbor pay for it?<br /><br />What do you call someone who lowers his esteem for a soldier because he was captured and held as a prisoner of war?<br /><br />What do you call someone who calls on the Russians to hack our computer systems?<br /><br />Asshole is a very weak word for Trump's aggression.<br /><br />I remember reading in the past in the difference between aggression and assertiveness, and its not as simple as you think since how words are heard is as important as how they are meant. So the smallest criticism can sound aggressive to a sensitive person, and overt threats of violence can be reinterpreted as a badly worded request.<br /><br />And I guess what we've learned from Trump is that Humans are tribal animals (in addition to fallen angels), and some of us really prefer to live in authoritarian systems where a tribal leader sets down the law of the land, and however unfair the laws are, as long as you know your place, and you don't stray from that, you know how to be safe. <br /><br />So Trump's asshole act may actually just be "an act", and you see this in his split personality, so when he doesn't feel threatened, he is actively receptive to kind words and compliments, and as we're learning in his victory rallies, he just wants admiration from his people.<br /><br />So maybe Trump isn't an asshole at all, but just intuitively learned that when you act that way, authoritarian-loving people all come to worship you, and other people go far away, and don't cause trouble.<br /><br />I am grateful that Stuart calls out Trump's vices, and still surprised why everyone doesn't agree. But now we know 62 million people love this act.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-80485367222290998392016-12-08T06:09:51.557-08:002016-12-08T06:09:51.557-08:00Ares,

It will be even worse as Minnesota turns more republican. <br />Over the years I have had to accept people being elected to office I thought were not the best of choices, but never did I think to disenfranchise a large segment of the population because they didn't vote the way I wanted them to do. The mere fact that you so easily fall into the use of name calling, pejoratives and that elitist attitude of I am so much better than these people demonstrates much about you as a person.<br /><br />All that caring and compassion was nothing but a sham meant to make you feel good. It is action that matters. I hope one day you will come to the point I reached quite awhile ago. Despite all this education and experience in life I finally recognized that I didn't know what I didn't know and none of it made me better than others. Try having some respect for the people who really make this country work. You might be surprised how smart some of them are if you can take your nose out of the clouds long enough to see it.<br /><br />You are much like the women of DC who think only about themselves and the rest of the country can go to HELL.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-17438344740391272332016-12-08T05:57:41.662-08:002016-12-08T05:57:41.662-08:00Detroit officials who can't count?

Women are confusing, but at least hair can be grown back.<br /><br />I do think its important, when you find things that are unacceptable, like a President-elect asshole like Donald Trump, to find something you have control over, when clearly we live in an insane country.<br /><br />Myself, I've not given up yet, and still hope the Republican electors do their duty and reject Donald Trump as unfit for the presidency. Truly any average Republican asshole will be better.<br /><br />And my own symbolic action was to promise to go to church regularly again. At least that is one communal experience that has real people in it.<br /><br />Besides, George W. Bush said God told him to run for president, and that worked out well. And now Minnesota's own Michele Bachmann said the evangelicals all prayed on election day and evening, and the votes magically shifted to Trump, thus proving divine intervention, or possibly election fraud. (Jill Stein is still trying to count, but looks like a battle of windmills, except for the pleasure of embarrassing voting officials who can't count - what's up with Detroit!?)<br /><br />Oh, and my other symbolic action was promising to give blood 6 times next year, a small act of selflessness. Yes I might need blood someday myself, so hopefully it'll come back.<br /><br />Hey, I wonder if any of the hysterical donated their hair to Locks of Love, if more than 10" I guess, for cancer survivors. At least they'd be doing something good.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41811278147208425592016-12-07T17:43:05.195-08:002016-12-07T17:43:05.195-08:00Sam - for this one, I think I'm just gonna fil...Sam - for this one, I think I'm just gonna file another entry away under ' First World Problems'.<br /><br />;0p<br /><br />- shoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-67217774771050333552016-12-07T13:46:25.829-08:002016-12-07T13:46:25.829-08:00Call me sexxxxist, call me misogynist, but I'm...Call me sexxxxist, call me misogynist, but I'm still gonna say it.
