    Many things are not random.   You might want to think they are, you might feel you are being paranoid if you recognise them as deliberate.   But elements of insulting behaviour are random.

    Most are practiced b […]

    • Oh..these are people who are psychologically weak. They need the company but of people who they like whether or not they like her. If others do not like them they interfere, they break the conversations between the people opening a new topic which will be sometimes totally irrelevant. By interfering in the middle of the conversation when two people are speaking with other they do break the conversation successfully but can never achieve anything important either for them or for others.

    • I always tend to stay away from everything like this. I simply prefer to walk away because I don’t have any interest in playing with dirt.

    • It’s always google that I use when searching. Although, I also have used Yahoo, but still I like google.

      So, can you suggest what other search engines can we try?

      I don’t refer to Wikipedia. Yes, I have used it before but it’s rarely that I use it.

    In just two weeks, President Trump has told more lies, created more dissent, and made more stupid decisions than most Presidents make in two full terms.

    The advent of lies began on day one with the […]

    • You may find this hard to believe but I haven’t actually been diligently following the Trump Trail of Tears (or Tares or Taunts or Trials & Tribulations or … ). I did see some brew ha ha about him paying his respects to African-Americans in celebration of Black History Month.

      But let’s get to your very first statement. Lies? Lies, did you say?

      This is just my observation. It looks like Trump lives in an “alternative universe”. In that world no doubt he thinks whatever he says is true true true!

      I’m sorry. Do I sound like I’m being disrespectful? I’m not. Really I’m not.

      I have great respect for the office of the US presidency. I view any remarks that I make regarding America’s current heated political environment as not only a show of the utmost respect for the most important servant of our country, but also as an act of a patriot and the duty of a humble servant and citizen.

      I ain’t just whistling Dixie. I mean every word I say!!

    • I don’t respect him. He is a liar, a narcissist and I did enjoy him expressing his ignorance of Fredrick Douglass.
      As a Narcissist he believes the truth is what he says it is.

    • God oh my, that is the normal way how all react, they maybe blinded in the street while crossing roads or while eating, while working also, whether normal worker or manager all are on their mobiles, in the coffee shop i see couples came but each is setting seeing only their mobilles and drinking coffee i observed them to see for how long they will stay like this, they kept like that until they left the cafe without chating together only for few minutes when the came and at the end spoked to her wife to tell her shall we go. and that is it, why they didnt set at home doing that? so annoying so careless and so poor they dont know that life is passig and they have no idea where are they going to or doing in it except phones

      • Exactly! Imagine this. I was waiting for someone at a hotel. I had arrived early, so had a bit of a wait. I was sitting in the lobby, looking around, seeing everything, smelling everything, 100% there. Every one else was on their cell, talking or texting.

        A celebrity came by. I got up, walked over, spoke to the celebrity, walked back, sat down, and then the person I was waiting for arrived. As she did I mentioned the celeb who I’d just spoken to.

        A few of the cell slaves looked up when I used the name, and one guy asked me about the Celeb and I told him…

        “She left”.

        So here he was, right there, in the lobby and so busy banging on the cell, missed it.

    • People are not focusing on the dangers of bad diet, obesity. If they pushed as hard, half as hard, as they did in ‘anti-smoking’ it would be a good thing.

    • I think , when one is industrious , doing a lot of houseworks that can be considered exercise, sheor he will get obese. It is the lack of activities along with eating too much of everything that makes one obese.
      Obesity is what really makes one have a lot of sicknesses, like diabetes , hypertension to name a few. Once obese, the person even have rhe difficulty to move anymore because they pant when they do succeeding household works. Thus, they get more obese and sicker.
      Thus, everyone is enjoined to eat in moderation and see to it that they exercise or do activities that can jiggle any fat that maybe forming in one’s body.

    • Correction on my comment , for the first sentence it should be ” she or he will NOT get obese. Thank you.

    • It’s incredible that it lasted only 3 seasons because my memory of it, seems like it lasted much longer. Probably because I really really liked the show. In my mind I probably wanted it to last longer. 🙂

      • I feel the same. To think there were only three seasons… but then… considering 79 epis and today 28 is more standard, that’s why it seems longer.
