Many countries had protests against vaccinations, masks, and government lock downs. I would say it has much more to do with people not wanting to be told what to do and how to do it then what Trump was saying. Trump did help get the ball rolling on vaccines early on in the pandemic. Has Trump lied about the pandemic? Yes. Has Biden lied about the pandemic? Yes. If everybody was vaccinated would coronavirus go away? No. Do masks do anything? They could stop some spit from flying around, whom ever invented blowing out birthday candles on a birthday cake is an idiot! But if someone comes in contact with the virus and then touches their mask what do you think the outcome will be? Should we all live in a bubble? Should we all have a HEPA filter attached to us 24/7? If people are afraid they should STAY AT HOME! If people do not come into contact with germs and viruses their body will never learn what to look for and what to fight off. Nature is in control of most things, often times fighting nature results in worse results then letting it take it's coarse.

I guess that would put a new meaning to the term "selfie".

Unfortunately my days of inventing new products is over after I lost millions on my last invention to trim your toe nails, I called it the "Pedi-file" and I never sold any of them for some odd reason?

If I could blow my own trumpet I wouldn't be here looking for somebody🤪, but unfortunately I'm not that flexible so I need to find somebody to blow my trumpet 4me.🤣

He starts off with "they do the girls" most likely because the girls certainly are not doing him.

Then "yes boss and cute" I'm going to take it that he believes these girls are doing the boss and cute guys, like maybe he needs to step up his game?

Isn't anybody going to bring up "death"? That is the end of the end and there is no going back after that. Other things you have had chances to correct.

MILF has become a popular term so first you would have to ask if he is just looking for the MILF or more. Second is people are selfish, is he willing to share your time with your children? Are you willing to make time for him and share your children with him? All things that can be balanced out but usually somebody ends up feeling as if they are missing out on something. Another route to consider is FWB, if you are not willing to share your kids or you are just missing a portion of what goes on in a relationship this may be away of getting some of what you want without disrupting your family unit you currently have.

If they knew that then they wouldn't be here now would they? Have you tried tinder or craigslist? They seem to be popular.

You are old and the benefits of "vaccination" out weigh the risks, however for a child that has their whole life in front of them the risks of the vaccine is a big gamble. You say "there might be long-term and as of yet unknown side affects". Should a child and/or their parents, or the government be willing to gamble on this? Would you be willing to throw a child under a bus just to save your life? The vaccine does not appear to stop the spread of covid, in fact it may actually contribute to the spread of covid as many vaccinated people have fewer or no symptoms, or they figure they are vaccinated so they don't care if they spread it around. People have started to have "natural immunities" to covid as our bodies learn what to look for and how to deal with it. For a child in the US they are more likely to die from a gun shot, commit suicide, or die in a car accident. It would make more sense to focus our time and resources on these matters for children and let nature (covid) take it coarse on old people.

There are regional chat rooms, why can people looking for hookups or even friendly chats not use that outlet instead of sharing their wants and needs world wide?

This looks really similar to my top 10 over rated musicians of all time. The Beatles sucked as a boy band unless you were a teen girl at that time, then you get into the Beatles acid trip days and you would have to be as high as they were to enjoy that. Dylan pushed some boundaries like bringing an electric guitar to a folk concert but much of his early days was impressing freaks in the UK with his poetry. He knew he was an awful singer, but his lyrics are highly over rated and the music put with the lyrics weren't very good either. Winehouse and Cobain are honored because they overdosed young, but art is in the eye of the beholder.

So best songwriter should include both lyrics and instrumentals, many songs are a collaboration of a few artists and then it's up to the producers to put that music in front of the population. Much of our music is only "great" because it's been pushed upon us and played over and over to get into our heads, some of the greatest music has not had these privileges and so it is over looked. So my question is are we looking for the best lyrics here? Or the best instrumental, or just songs that make us feel good? What works for one generation doesn't always fit for another. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are both examples of currently active song writers that are bringing meaning to what is going on today. Some think Eminem is one of the best songwriters of all time while other rappers have no respect for him. Prince has contributed to many performers and his music and lyrics were pretty good, but he had a very strange relation with the press and public so some many people over look him. Should music make you laugh? Or cry? Or make you want to dance? The styles of music are much too great to say there is one GOAT of anything whether it be songwriters, songs, or artists.

When I see "widowed" on here I go that is sad, but it happens for many reasons. When I see "widowed twice" that scares me a little. Maybe she liked older men? Maybe she has bad luck? But "how long" is that bad luck streak going to continue? Or another thing that crosses my mind is have there been big insurance policies involved? That could be good or bad depending on if her favorite shoe is "CSI" or something similar. I guess the moral of my story is be careful of what you share and how you share it.

What is up with Putin? I've heard he has cancer or Parkinson disease or something and he is receiving regular medical care. Thinking he is trying to make his mark and is probably so arrogant that he thinks he will be remembered like Stalin. Does Vegas have odds on what he has, or when he will die? I'd be willing to put some money on that he doesn't have more than a few years to go.

What we do best in Minnesota is complain about the weather. It's too cold, then it's too hot, there's too much snow or not enough, it's raining again, etc. The little window that we actually get outside there's too many mosquitos. So try to just put on a smile and not bring any of those things up

It seems like the timing of this "draft" by the supreme court would strongly favor the Democrats more that the Republicans. Polls show that about 65% support some form of abortion rights. These nut cases that are stalking the justice's at their homes need to be prosecuted, however they are nothing compared to the nut cases that stalk the clinics and doctors. Anytime the government threatens to take away any rights of the people it's a bad thing, this is no different, just a power trip of a few power hungry politicians. Most hangers are now made of plastic, most abortions take place early on using a pill, to make it very difficult for millions of women to seek treatment while others would have relatively easy access doesn't seem right, there are already barriers for many. Look at the numbers, look what people are doing and what they want.

Men are from Mars and women from Venus, I thought that was a well known fact. If somebody really wants to know where I am from it is listed in our profiles, it really bothers me when someone messages me "where do you live?" like they are too lazy to read.

60? I was thinking 69! Or as Ariana puts it 34+35.

I was thinking the same except bacon grease, can't afford chicken right now at $6 a lb, eggs are crazy too, what once was an affordable semi-healthy choice has gotten crazy, hopefully they can get control of the flu and get things back to normal soon.

And how is over turning Row vs Wade a good thing for America? So we can have more unwanted, illegitimate children living off the government's (our) money? According to the numbers there are about 1 million abortions each year and 3.6 million births, looks to be popular by somebody. And don't play the they are humans card, most can not live or function out side the host at that point , think about it before you send one down the drain, what really is life or not? Not to mention the destruction of the the earth by our out of control population growth. Freedom of speech goes both ways before somebody gets all worked up. And whether a minority or majority believe in freedom of choice we still need to respect minorities that maybe underrepresented.

Supply, demand, and greed. Fuel prices have an impact on the price of everything. The thing is when we take $1 of gas out of the ground we don't shove a $1 back down the hole. Somebody is making money, actually many people are making money all the way down the line. Many suffer as a few prosper, the government is happy to see it too because they collect more taxes on the products and profits as it works it's way thru the system. The Democrats want high gas prices to push their "green energy" propaganda and gain control over the people. Many people actually saved money during the pandemic by not driving to work, going out, or going on vacation, yet the government choose to hand out boat loads of money, much of went to the wrong people for the wrong reasons. Too much money was blown on things just because people had access, and the shut downs affected the amount of production creating the perfect storm for shortages and price gouging. Why would people work when they can make more staying at home? Or popping out more kids? Walmart is offering $110k a year to work for them driving their trucks, most reasonable people can feed their family off that, but people are lazy and greedy so they are still having a hard time getting people. That causes the prices they charge to go up, then others see that number and somehow they think they are worth that. Greed leads to more greed. The banks and credit cards are also loving it because they make a percentage of each transaction, that's why the offer you money back to swipe your card and charge people 24% interest because all the money is made off the swipe now, they don't want you to carry a balance. The war is just something to blame for things going on just like the pandemic. They just keep creating more problems as part of the control. The vaccines where to wipe out covid, but the drug companies make billions on having it continue while the push new "vaccines" for various things to keep the cash cow going.

My, reply,

First off if I ever offend anybody they should send me their address so I can send them a participation award and some coloring books to make up for it. I a very busy and sometimes cut my thoughts short, don't have the time or space to write a book here. When people participate in the forums they have to be willing to say "I don't mind annoying people" read that again as "I don't mind annoying people" meaning people are not always going to be pleased with what you post and you will not agree with everything others post, that just part of life.
Janish said " the problem is not being born black, it's being raised black". We need to figure out how much is learned actions and how much is natural instinct. The common thing in most of these cases is the "fight or flight" reaction. Is this part a black person's natural trait, dna? Or is this something that is learned? If Daunte would have simply showed up for his court case he would have not had anything to run from, that is not saying he would not of still attempted to run. In the Ahmad Arbury case if the had chosen the flight option instead of fighting some redneck with a gun he probably would still be alive. As we seen in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is not wise to fight with somebody with a gun. Whites have been domesticated for much longer than most ethnic groups, is the tribal instinct stronger in those groups? That not racist, it's science and nature. When they say "all men are created equal" there is nothing farther from the truth, everybody has their own DNA, mental challenges, different sizes, different needs, we need to understand these things for ourselves and others. So how much is learned and how much is in the genes? It's known that many blacks are raised by single mothers, but many whites are too, so how much is in the raising of the children, how much is DNA, and how much is learned thru the community, media, and culture?
How "black" does somebody need to be "black"? Daunte was half white and raised by a white mother, that makes me question what part is the way somebody is raised and how much DNA influences ones being? Are the black genes more prominent? Or were these things learned by living in the community he was in? These are the questions that are not being talked about as black people are blaming white people for all their problems. Obama is also half black and half white, so was he the first "black" president? He was raised by a white mother and at age 10 moved to Hawaii to have his grandparents raise him. So environment was a factor, had he been in a different environment where would he be now? We will never know, but it leads to both DNA and environment being factors in how people turn out. So there really isn't a short term solution to the problem, and not sure how many are really willing to stick to long term solutions.
If anybody ever has the ability to watch the original uncut movie "Clerks" they should. The main character is also named Daunte, he goes out of the way for his employer, community, and friends and at the end of the day he gets his head blown off by some crack head over just enough money to buy another rock. In my comparison Kim Potter is the Daunte from this movie whom had her life taken away by some thug (the Daunte she shot). You can do all the right things in life and have some loser take it all away from you in a split second. People think criminals only affect the person they victimize, but the harm they cause to society is much larger from the money of law enforcement, court, and jail, the mistrust of the community, the loved ones of them and the victims they hurt. Just one criminal can affect so many people.
