Back to So very predictable and as I wrote above. A general unwillingness to listen to another POV. Its why we are where we are. Adios.

What is a fascist? Subvert information, willfully censor information from public, glorify and protect leader, prosecute and subjugate domestic dissenters, generally pro-war, lie to protect the brand, believe in central control, subvert or dismantle democratic processes to stay in power. How...

I'm no expert. Just one of 330M or 350M depending on who you're counting. I live a lovely sheltered affluent life in SW Florida. Lived in Philly and South Jersey for 20+ years. I travel around the country for work, so these are my observations. It also depends on what we define as progress...

I hadn't realised it is so bad. I assumed that America had enough resource and space to make rampant capitalism work, with the 'haves' outweighing the 'have nots'. I have visited many times but not for several years. I always saw abject poverty just round the corner from opulant vulgarity, but...

Stayed out of this thread for months as it's a general waste of time and results in purile personal attacks vs. honest attempts to hear another POV. Election is coming very soon. Both candidates are deeply flawed. The voters are bombarded with negative ads. There is precious little vision...

Surely wouldn't be impossible to bring back that mindless but far more energetic version? The current one is dreary to almost catatonic.

Sarasota's time was up. Last real event was 1921 and would only have been a few thousand people in and around. Ian came close in 2022 but whacked Ft Myers instead. This one is an apparent bulleye. I'm resolved to an achingly long journey of rebuilding.

Reporting in from Sarasota (actually Ft Lauderdale where I arrived yesterday). Expecting to be homeless by this time tomorrow. Hoping for the best and power back on for the visit to St James Park. My contacts are a mix of wackos (riding it out) and cowards like me (getting out early). I...

Nostalgia is an amazing thing. Chicken run attracted the hardcore (pre-Withdean warriors) who CHOSE to stand in the rain and cold at 3p every other Saturday and during many evenings. North and South Stand were chavs sheltered from all inclemency. Let's face it, our lot have never really been...

Us oldies remember the time when away fans were in the corner in-between the North Stand and East Terrace. I remember plenty of singing and energy from that section closest to the away fans. Looking back, it seems odd that both sets of energetic supporters were essentially right next to each...

A depressingly straight, expensive and boring road. Garden State Parkway less straight, less expensive and slightly less boring the further south you go.

Georgia - Ray Charles Massachusetts - Bee Gees New York - Frank Sinatra

Thought I'd leave this one here for all of the inevitable Phd's who know that this Hurricane was a result of man made Climate Change.

Reporting from Sarasota where the sun is out and you'd really never know there was a Hurricane yesterday. The barriers islands got walloped by storm surge. Lived through 1987 Hurricane Fish, 2011 Super Storm Sandy and this will be my 7th near miss since then. I apparently attract them but not...

This is exactly the type of question AI was designed to answer, so according to AI (SEE BELOW) Yes, Brighton & Hove Albion has occupied every position in the English Football League (EFL) table across the club's history. This means they have been at every spot from first to last, spanning...

Thank you in advance, I have a close relative who is struggling massively with anxiety and depression. He was recently sectioned for his own safety, but left due to the conditions at the facility and his perception of support. I need to quickly find him someone who can help him. He is on a...

The only trouble with you argument is under Obama we experienced war (ISIS, Crimea, Syria), under Biden we are experiencing war (Ukraine/Palestine), under Trump we had "relative" peace and he was brokering Middle East Peace accords. He patted that fat little despot Kim on the head and avoided...

Just look at the entire G7 - Biden is a corpse, Trudeau is increasingly unpopular, as is Macron who is likely out. Rishi is a dead man walking, German and Japanese leaders hover around 30% favorable. Meloni is the only one with her head above water. Certainly focus on Trump's lies, but Biden...

They already did it in 2015

So sorry to hear this news. You were kind to me when I posted looking for help a few weeks ago. I am sure there are MANY of us on this board who are grateful to be able to share and help one another. While it is our parents now, it will be all of us sooner than we all think. I spent a month...
