Um, starving is pretty specific. You posted the word, “starving.”

Now, you’re just deflecting, a common Leftist mechanism. You have no argument.

I’m not surprised.

“Morning Has Broken” - Cat Stevens

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word

Those bastards will never stop until they’ve established their worldwide caliphate. Even then, it will only be temporary as the two main factions of that political movement will turn against each other and fight to the death.

I’m just over here, waiting for the shit to hit the fan somewhere, again.

I’m not going to stress over it. There are far worse manmade things going on right now than a little increase in the background radiation.

“Jerusalem” - Sir Hubert Parry

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

The initial release from Chernobyl was gigantic. Most of us alive then survived it. The amount that is maybe being released today is equal to several dental x-rays.

Bees are over-rated. There are literally hundreds of fly species that do more to pollinate than domesticated honey bees.

Investigating him, for what? Being unlikeable or unliked is not a criminal offense.

And, what has he done to you to earn such baseless loathing? You were fine with him until he ran for POTUS the first time.

Who is starving? Show me one individual who is starving to death in this country because of the current administration. Just one. Should be pretty easy, given the alleged size of the threat.

Right?

You should note that I will not describe these people and their destructive political beliefs as being liberal, for they are anything but that. They have become the diametric opposite of everything liberalism once represented.

I once leaned Liberal, but my eyes have been opened to their true nature, due to a myriad of events over the past twenty-five years perpetrated by supporters of Leftist ideology, which includes a recent highly public murder. Why haven’t your eyes been opened? Why do you refuse to see?

How can you not see how the radicals in the Left have taken the word “liberal,” which once meant progress, tolerance, and enlightenment, and how they have now mutated it into something else, something dark and twisted, something that no longer means liberalism.

They have molded it into a malformed and ugly parody of itself.

The Left have stripped the humanity out of classic liberalism and replaced it with politicized cancellation and censorship. They have pushed for a hive-mind mentality, in which no deviation is tolerated, and all opinions must meet their nebulous standards.

They are for the suppression of diversity of thought and ideology and for the suppression of true free speech. They maintain a system of rigid two-dimensional thought on every subject, no matter how trivial, and they now practice overt political, social, economic, psychological, and physical bullying.

The diversity they advocate is no longer true diversity, as it is based solely on appearances, rather than on ideology or thought. There is no diversity of the minds in the Left. It has been purged and replaced by an unforgiving dictatorship of forced conformity, a rigidity of thought and of ideology.

Control matters more than anything else now. It’s no longer, “do what you will.” It has become, “Do as we tell you.” There is no free will in their minds, unless it meets prior approval from the current arbiter of the ideology of the day.

And anyone who is perceived as being divergent, no matter how slight or minor in thoughts or actions, is made into a pariah, an outcast, to be shunned and threatened not only with cancellation, censorship, or suppression, but now, with physical violence and death.

When the shooting starts anymore, it always comes from the Left these days. The same is true for the personal attacks, name calling, and dehumanization perpetrated by a people who cannot support their ideology, except with violence and the threat of violence.

Anyone openly supporting or advocating for, or denying the existence of, or who makes excuses for, or who assigns blame to the other side for, or who patently ignores what has become perhaps the most anti-human political movement since the creation of Soviet Union and all its offspring and descendants, and yes, even since the rise of Nazi Germany, is either an evil shill, a self-serving and self-righteous elitist, or one of their many useful idiots. No matter which one, they are the destroyers of reason, decency, and sensibility, or of anything else, for that matter, that makes us truly diverse individuals as humans.

These people are not Liberals, not in the at least, and most certainly not in the classic sense. They’re bullies. They’re bastards. They’re the micromanagers of life and human behavior. They’re The Destroyers. They’re the tramplers of human rights and of human dignity. They are the crushers of spirit and the purveyors of ignorance.

They are the Radical Left.

I didn’t abandon Liberalism. The Left stole it from me.

Do you mean the “idiot” billionaire who managed to get himself elected POTUS twice, who donated land for public golf courses in locations where only the elitists had private clubs, and who created tens of thousands of private sector jobs before going into public office? The same “idiot” who Democrats couldn’t wait to be photographed with all through the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s? The “idiot” who negotiated the end of hostilities in at least 8 wars, some of those having lasted as long as 30 years, ones the Left and First World progressives have ignored for that long? The same “idiot” who bascially ended racial bias in major Florida golf courses? The same “idiot” who, unlike Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, and numerous other Jackasses refuses to use his public office to enrich himself?

What has he ever done to you to make you hate him? How much damage has he done directly to your life?

It’s odd that you seem to have never voted against the very people who originated these problems, is it not?

Now, we’re paying for the mess they’ve been making since 1967, when the radical left took over the Democrat party.

Thanks a lot!

To do what?

It’s easier to sit by and complain, and to question proposals, than it is to act.

I do this!

“Owner of a Lonely Heart” - Yes

Move yourself, you always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself, you are the move you make
Take your chances, win or lose

See yourself, you are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself, you're every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(It's much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now, the eagle in the sky
How he dancin', one and only

You lose yourself, no, not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself, give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(So much better than a) owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision, they confused me so (owner of a lonely heart)

In the end, you've got to go
Look before you leap (owner of a lonely heart)
And don't you hesitate it at all, no-no

No. I’m for limited government by the people. I’m for government that takes care of infrastructure, protects national borders, and protects national interests. Today’s governments are no longer for the people. They are for the self-interests of the persons controlling them. They’re for the elitists, of the elitists, and by the elitists.

Anarchists want the world to burn. They produce nothing but misery. I want the world to be protected, because I live in it. I merely don’t want the State to tell me how I should live my life, so long as I am harming no one.

It’s not a black and white world. Why do you seem to insist that it is by labeling me an anarchist? Do you actually believe that there are only two sides in this issue: total submission/dependency or total anarchy?

My eyes and ears are open, honey.

Always gotta go for the worst case scenario, huh. Proper parental guidance would prevent that, but here you are, promoting more government. Sheesh!

Why is it always a worst case scenario?

Government has been usurping the family unit for decades now. Look at the cities with the worst crime statistics. The family units are virtually non-existent in those communities, because government stepped in and told people, “You can’t do this alone. We’re here to help.”

You destroyers just can’t leave things alone.

Correct. I cannot force you to see things you refuse to see. It’s that simple.

The onus should be on the parents, not the government. Government has always had the excellent ability for messing up the lives of the people it was allegedly supposed to serve. History is rife with examples of government NOT doing the right thing, time after time. Billions have died prematurely because of organized governments.

In a perfect world, more parents would be more attentive and protective of their children. This is not a perfect world, however. People are flawed.

The ironic part is that government is made up solely of people. As stated above, people are flawed.

Why should we, then, trust government to always do the right thing, if the people in it are just as imperfect as the rest of us?

One thing is for sure: we can always trust the government to make a bad situation worse. Not even religion has had the ability to make the world right, and religion has been around far longer than government. The problem with religion, is the same as the problem with government: there are people involved in it.

A problem exists, and government’s solution, more often than not, is to make feel-good empty gestures for bragging rights, that is, when it's not trampling all over human rights. Doing “something" then becomes justification for spending more of our hard-earned money, just to micro-manage our lives.

The solution is to stop wanting the government to fix our lives and to take responsibility for ourselves. Modern societies have become far too reliant on government to solve their problems. That nonsense must stop, because government, whether through sheer incompetence or maliciousness, will ultimately be the end of human dignity and the death of humanity.

“Strange Magic” - Electric Light Orchestra

You're sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone-age dawn
You fly so high

I get a strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic

You're walking meadows in my mind
Making waves across my time
Oh no, oh no

I get a strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic

Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again
Now I've seen the way it's got to end
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic

It's magic
It's magic
It's magic

Strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic
Strange magic (strange magic)

Strange magic

Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic
You know I got a strange magic
Yeah, I got a strange magic
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh strange magic

What more should one expect from a former stand-up act? I mean, Ukraine elected a for-real comedian, for cripes sake.

Yup.

Shut down the entire internet. That’s the only sure way to “protect” the children. They’ll have to go back to sneaking peeks at girlie magazines, like in the old days.

That’s not the point. The point is that Australia is just jacking off, when it comes to “child safety” and the internet.

They can now claim, with puffed up chests, “Look, everyone! We did something,” even though it’s totally and utterly meaningless!

Sadly, my dick isn’t long enough for me to pose with it in my mouth. Oh, but if it was….

Sonuva!

I can’t make you understand. That’s on you.

Nice straw man, buddy.

I’m only stating facts. There is no way to enforce this ban. It’s all for show, and nothing more. It’s the moral equivalent of wishing on a star.

Trying what?

This is the moral equivalent to what they’re doing in Australia: A person is swimming twenty-five yards out in the water, when he suddenly realizes he can’t make it back to shore.

He sees people on the beach and he begins to call to them just as he begins struggling to stay afloat.

The people on shore hear his cries and look out on the water and locate the struggling person.

But, instead of heading out on the water to effect his rescue, they all begin praying that he gets saved. They all pray really, really hard.

And, he slips under the water and drowns.

Here’s what they all say afterward: Well, we did something. At least we tried.

Same thing.

Right. This Home Depot was just trying to take advantage of people, and for the most part, people were letting them.

Wouldn’t it be better to do something effective, rather than just jerking off?

I’m stuck. I can find a bunch of shitty pop music, of which I can’t stand, and that’s about it. Oh, well.

No. I’d say you were pretty normal.

When I was your age, those sort of feelings were pretty well suppressed due to peer pressure and the climate of the times. I suspect a lot of people felt that way, but compartmentalized it to avoid being shunned, ridiculed, or shamed.

These days, not very many people really care much about it. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, it’s fine.

While it seems like a good idea, this all show and no substance. It’s impossible to enforce it. Typical of progressive politicians, the Aussie government is taking the easy route, banning children on social media with no way to ensure it works, just so they claim they did something and feel good about it.

From the Cambridge Dictionary:

not behaving in a way that is as calm and wise as people expect from someone of your age:

"Stop being so silly and immature, Chris!”

"She's rather immature for her age, don't you think?”
