According to legend, years ago, Dob was rude to a contributor several times. As a result the site admin gave him a month's sinbin. Dob apologized. Dob now makes excellent contributions to this site while admitting to not fact-checking all sources used.

Recently, one contributor told Dob to go to Russia and has made several insults to Dob and others.
It is my opinion that Dob knows more about Russia than the criticizer.
That contributor defends the current government of Ukraine which was set up and remains controlled by a small group of Oligarchs and the same set that direct the US government and use Ukraine to siphon money from the US to themselves.

Well, hey. Why not go to Russia. Bernie did, even got married there and he's a U. S. Senator. I've never wanted to visit Russia. I find it depressing. Switzerland would be more to my liking. And recently I have discovered Spain has some absolutely gorgeous scenery. A good friend lived there for five years. She vouches that it is a beautiful place to visit.

"What gives?" I'd like to know as well. These are teeny tiny potholes in your road of life, IMHO, just roll right over 'em like a steamroller.

we have our disagreements
people do....

whoever said those things to you is simply wrong, misguided, full of themselves

Chew the meat...spit out the bones. If humanity waited until it had “facts and evidence” before acting on every theory we would not have the success that we now enjoy. Non-transitory inflation was just a “theory” a year ago. Forced vaccinations were a “theory” at the beginning of 2021. Vax passports were a “theory”. CBDCs.....food shortages. Shall I go on?
If one chooses to only act based on “facts and evidence” one would live a very reactionary lifestyle.
On par with an amoeba or other single celled organism.
I’m perfectly capable of fact checking data that is presented. So I don’t get wrapped around the axles when someone presents something false. Because what if it turns out to be true? Now I have early warning and can better formulate a response.
And as far as Ukraine is concerned.....it is just another money laundering scheme. Unfortunately innocent people are being hurt so Oligarchs on both sides can enrich themselves. But if it’s more bloodshed everyone wants.....sure let’s put boots on the ground and watch what happens.

Why are we just now hearing from 'number6?' He is so negative. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't belong on our Website.

I look forward to your posts. Don't let it get you down. Also your optimistic insights help as sometimes it seems to me that the country is being intentionally crashed.
And I don't need any phony fact checking. I depend on logic and my own research more than those things. Everybody has an agenda, even these so called gate keepers.

Dobrien, sometimes I don't always follow your thought processes, but I ALWAYS welcome your posts. Keep posting and let the spew roll off your back. We're supposed to be a discussion forum, not a mud-slinging site. Don't let them wear you down!

Cry much ? .. I said you were ignorant of truth and facts. You spouted only conspiracy theories and could not back up anything with FACTS. That IS being ignorant and being a clown.

I asked IF you had ever been to Ukraine or checked any of the information you spouted, (which you did not respond to).

You stated the countries name is 'the ukraine" which it is not, again that makes you ignorant of facts.

Maybe you should quit being so russian bot/troll like (or acting like a katsap) and people wouldn't say that to you. I didn't say that at all BUT certainly could see why someone would.

I am not full of myself and am knowledgeable with facts, experiences and knowledge supporting my statements. Tat ws NEVER questioned , only BS thrown back. (unfortunately he "conspiracy theoried" the wrong person)
