So maybe Jerry didn't express himself artfully and clearly but it took no time at all for people to jump on him and show their true racist colors. I am shocked at how often people, and several of them are on this thread, use the anonymity of their screen name to make really offensive political and racist comments with no social value and often with no political or racist provocation. This did not start out as a racist thread but one small-minded dimwit quickly took it in that direction and others jumped on board. On one hand it's great to know how many hardcore racists and lunatic fringe rightists are out there but on the other hand it's sad to see them here, on what should have been fun blog to read. I'm troubled that admin hasn't at least taken the racist comments down and I would prefer that they block the access of these open racists. This is 2020, when some of us believe that all people were created equal!

I know who you are talking about, but racism may be the least of their flaws. How about their support for a political party and administration which is systematically dismantling the behavioral norms and the checks and balances which have allowed our democracy to function?

If there was a better choice the last go around things would be different. Again our choice is between; USE and LESS. We are screwed.

And you are showing what a good person you are by defaming everyone who doesn't share your politics.


How did this get so far into hate and politics?
It was not meant as such.

There are many who call others racists.
They as you say are clueless and some say things you disagree with and the only comeback is a stupid statement calling them racist because it worked in the past but now those who use the racist card are being laughed at and that angers them because it no longer intimidates.
I am frequently labeled racist here by ignorant people
Here is a family shot of all close blood relatives several races here.
We all get along just fine.

The Right, by and large except for the very small fringe doesn't do those things. We don't riot, loot or burn down cities. We leave that to the blacks and the Left who support those types of anti American behavior.

There are multitudes of good people. MSM relies on shock and sensationalism. Good deeds and kindness are not newsworthy. Haven't been for a long time.

Admin has the forum he has created and deserves. Not intended as criticism, only an observation.

"On one hand it's great to know how many hardcore racists and lunatic fringe rightists are out there..."

Nothing like showing YOUR true colors!

UHH is rather calm in the display of politics, etc. Besides, EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion(s). 1A doesn't just apply to you!!! And...no one forces you to read a "disagreeable" comment. You negate your entire argument by labeling people you apparently don't like, or that don't hold your views. Radical Leftist comes to mind, but I won't label you as you are also entitled to your opinion too. You probably ran out of PlayDoh and Crayons, hence your tirade.

Got this from a friend in Poland.

"Once a professor on the blackboard wrote the number 1 and, looking at the students, explained.
"This is your humanity - the most important value in life."
then he added 0 to number 1 and said: "And these are your achievements, which combined with humanity increased your value 10 times."
One more 0 - experience, which is already 100.
and so he added successively, love, responsibility.
Each added 0 ennobles man said the professor.
Suddenly he erased the number 1, which stood at the beginning.
There were nothing significant zeros on the board.
the professor said: "If you don't act like people, whatever you do, you will remain zero ...""

Polish logic is suspect to me. I once knew a Polish guy (from Poland) who was selling some cars. He asked me what the white stuff people write on windshields with was, and where to get it. I told him it was white shoe polish and you get it at the grocery store. The next day he told me the grocery store said they didn't have white shoe polish to write on windshields with. He was from Poland, spoke 7 languages and had advanced degrees, but had nothing that would pass for common sense in this country. I've known a couple of others, similar stories.

With respect Jerry SOME people are horrible and then there are those who are even worse. But consider that just in America there are now over 330 Million people. Now IF we were all horrible there would be mass slaughter of each other, robberies, rapes and so on. But in the scheme of things those things are not happening except for on a small scale across the country. While let's say 5% of people in the world are evil and do bad things we all tend to forget the 95% that is friendly, gets along with fellow man, works hard and basically represents the very best of all of us. Now carry those numbers across the globe and we tend to look pretty damn good.

Perhaps we should concentrate on the good in people and not the bad.

That's what I've told myself as I read your posts, but I've been waiting a very long time now.

Let me draw your attention to, among a host of names, Nicolaus Copernicus and Maria Curie.
