Maybe I deserved that. But come to my house we will play some groovy bongo rhythms and I'm sure you will have a good time.

Great question. It turns out protesting doesn't seem to have that much effect, unless a lot more people participate.

I mostly posted my rant just to be contrary, but I still feel like there is something erroneous to this argument, even tho you do make it seem clear and sensible.

I offer Japan as an example: the whole country is very neat, tidy and orderly. People know that if you see garbage, or something out of place, you put it where it belongs. People take the personal responsibility to clean up after themselves very seriously, and willingly clean up after eachother. As it was explained to me, 'If you're the first person to see it, then you are the person to take care of it."

So you would expect this baseline indication of ethical behavior to translate into other domains. Surprisingly, people who as a group score very well on this test of self-regulation and ethical behavior seem to have a systemic problem with violence, sexual abuse and sexual harassment against women. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2017/3/8/sexual-assault-in-japan-every-girl-was-a-victim

It could be that individuals not putting things away is a sign of a deeper societal issue, but group/individual fastidiousness doesn't seem to generalize to broader ethical adherence.

Maybe there is a mistake somewhere in my thinking.

I got the top 5 of the attractive list and only arguing online from the other list, so I think that's cancelled out.

Edit: checked with wife, she says graph is accurate.

I'm getting really damn tired of having a choice between the conservative party cosplaying as liberals and the fascist party cosplaying as conservatives.

damn straight.

You're right, and I think there might be additional health benefits from adding it in, too!

I confess my comment wasn't my real opinion, but I'm sure that's what my grandmother would have said. She was always very concerned with appearances.

My actual answer: I have spent time in Dixie and drank a fair bit of chicory coffee. At that time I also smoked like a chimney so I wonder now how much I was able to smell and taste much of anything back then. I liked it fine but it was never my favorite go-to.

Since I quit smoking and live a generally more healthy life I find I have become a bit of a purist. I like my coffee to be coffee, as there is so much variety just within coffee that adding in other things seems to complicate the issue beyond what I'm willing to deal with.

But again, no shade at anyone who likes it.

Naw, that's fo' po' folks!

I think intelligence/personality are about even for me. I think I would not have rejected my wife if she were average intelligence, but the fact that she has a science background, and the quick way she thinks are part of the package that I fell for. So I will say very important, but not the most important.

Woke liberal transgender marxists who hate America try to destroy Entergy Louisiana and put hapless shareholders into the poorhouse!

Thank you for your service.

Edit: I was going to try to add to the comedy but I feel like it's not actually funny. I get the irony, but I started thinking how I'd feel if I had a family member or friend that died in such a dumb way.

Well he's in the arms of Jesus now. If there's any lesson here it's use a damn holster, people, and take your safety training seriously.
