Looks as if he's going to need to experience more of life. I had a similar problem with a grandchild. My solution? Shut up and wait for them to ask or start the discussion. Answer truthfully and without rancor. move on. Let life beat them up a bit, and perhaps that will illuminate them. If not, que sera, sera.

My dad taught me to say "You smell like a goat" in Swedish but I don't know how to spell it.

I will my Swedish Brother

I cheated and looked it up.

Me old dino not know svenska or is that a vodka product?

I vija min svenska broder...

Watch it. I may be an allosaur but I'm also half Swedish.

Remember...you always have the real parasites, unengaged in the system, but running the system as a "Favored Class"...
Self Rule...is the key to a free society.

Don't forget the furniture...

Wasn't in the cabbage patch that long...was a 6 monther...so...No, Swedish with an Englishman in the wood pile.

I agree. She is turning his strength into a weakness with the mealy mouthed sheep she wants votes from.

Exactly. I tried to explain it somewhat differently but same structure. My son (who is an E7 in the Army) seems to think he can find a perfect population of people to be these happy drones, and I can't get him to see there are always the bottom feeder and the elites who think they are better in every crowd, and they will upset the boat.

Not much to debate here, I have a deep aversion to HillaryBeast, to the point I can believe she is the Antichrist of lore. She creeps me ut like someone who knows many secrets and grins knowing they are putting one over everyone. I equate her look to the movies of all the bad guys. The fact she has escaped seemingly impossible situations no one else could is also so suspicious. Trump just wins by default. I hate to see him lose though because he cannot resist having the last word. Example: O'Rielly was trying to educate him on political realities, and Trump just barges in to lecture him on how bad the Times is, how they are going bankrupt, and how they hate him, when it had no direct connection to the subject. He tends to have to have a comeback to almost anything, can't let something lie. The Beast knows this and her gang of thugs are playing on it to the hilt. He will be regarded as the village idiot before election if he does not wake up and get smarter on the mouth running on autopilot. I think a majority agree with him, and are being driven away by his mouth.

I think Trump is being worked by Hillary into defending himself from constant attacks all the time. Getting attacked constantly is very hard on one's spirit. I feel very sorry for Trump actually. Turn on pretty much any of the media and it's always Trump this and Trump that. Not that I would ever even want to run for president, but if I was subjected to what Trump gets I would have told the ungrateful country to fu#% offl long ago

Maybe his way of staying motivated is to fight back by being very direct and vocal. I don't think he is this way in his business and isn't how he would act as president

Hillary is a lying, manipulative, conniving, and power hungry excuse for a human being. Future performance CAN be predicted by past performance in her case.

I want a good administrator to efficiently and honestly run the bureaucracy without hiding behind email servers and political correctness. I want foreign countries to know we respect them by being honest and really do stand for freedom consistently

Our goal SHOULD be to make this place great again. trump is not perfect, but look how bad Obama has been already and Hillary swears to carrying that legacy mixed with panderings to sanders.

A lot of what trump says I have to agree with. Things like honoring the soldiers who DIDNT get captured as POWs. The POWs didn't sacrifice - they were captured by more effective enemy soldiers

Fallen soldiers didn't "sacrifice" (as if sacrifice is some sort of holy thing). They were killed In an attempt to kill opposing soldiers and they got killed first. Call a spade a spade. Most of the wars fought by the USA we shouldn't have been in anyway

People can screw up anything, even capitalism. However, the very mechanism of communism is such that makes it impossible to work. Just one example will illustrate it. Jack and Joe work on an assembly line. They both make the same wage as do all workers. Jack assembles 50 gadgets an hour, Joe only assbles 25 per hour. Jack doesn't get more for doing a better job. After a while Jack wonders why he should knock himself out for no more money, so he takes it easy by only assembling 25 gadgets per hour. Multiply by all the good workers and you know why the Soviet 5 year plans never worked. If, however, you give Jack a raise, you've taken your first step toward capitalism.

Herb, my son actually tried to lecture me on why "real Communism" is superior to anything. I tied to keep pointing out that real Communism is a fiction, because it needs to have no people around to screw it up with "gimme".

Bingo! Start in the 2nd year of your second term, and never look back. Then sell everything that isn't nailed down.

Don't worry Dob, Hillarybeast is waiting for the checks to clear before she offers the tours, and the technology. She has no concept of security, but then the cupcakes who love her don't either, and we have baked many more cupcakes than raised intelligent thoughtful humans.

You are very, very correct.

Not me. I like Trump somewhat, I despise Hillary. If we could mate his mouth to her, it would be alright...

We are too busy hating trump

I read he already has 10 million for his foundation. I think Clintons showed him the profit of pull.

This is one of the aspects of this forum that is so good. There is so much to learn and Galts gulch online contributors wisdom and experience is of great value. I am much obliged. Have a good evening sir.

LOL!
Would you happen to have some kraut in you?

Actually the negative form was from Hillel(?) a rabbi contemporary with Jesus, assuming he was a historic person. But the golden rule had been floating around in many forms before then.

Since I am just using a memory from several decades ago, the negative form may have come from 'Without Guilt and Justice' by the philosopher Walter Kaufmann who coined the word 'humbition' as a combination of humility and ambition. At the time I believe that his most popular book was 'Faith of a Heretic', which if memory has not failed me, had an interesting discussion between Satin, a Christian, and an atheist.
