But let's be honest.....

Lol, Sailor uses a gay slur in pretty much every response to someone he disagrees with.

LOL. Yeah, but he’s a real sailor and we Navy people are allowed as proved by the Village People. It’s like African-Americans and the N-word. :)
 
What a lovely idea! Can we appoint you the JPP Shrink and let you decide who's sane enough to post? What if we have enjoyed some, er, um substances first? Would we be adjudged insane? Asking for a friend. lol
LOL. It doesn’t take a shrink to see who doesn’t have all of his/her marbles in one sock.
It takes a shrink to figure out why they don’t have all of their marbles in one sock. :)

I think it should be assessed by Mods reviewing not only reports, but type of reports and from whom, then, of course, reviewing the types of posts a person makes. Single emoji posts are obviously trolling. We’re all trolls to some degree, but some people abuse this and may need to be assisted in not doing so.

George Carlin once had a bit (maybe it was Bill Cosby) that every driver had a dart gun. Instead of shouting and cussing at someone who does something stupid, but stick a dart in the back of the offender’s trunk. If a cop sees a driver with 5 or more darts, the driver gets a ticket.
 
Okay, I'll play:
(Also a Bruce Springsteen song)

You may think this song is about sexual desire:


But let's be honest, it's really about cocaine.
LOL. Definitely something more than sex going on in those sheets:

"I'm On Fire"

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh, no
I can take you higher
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head

Only you can cool my desire. <——does this mean she has the coke?
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

Well, poor dumb Steven isn't the first one to get in trouble for spamming with emojis. Check out the subject of his favorite thread dedicated to his favorite fraudulent "teacher" to see for yourself. lol

Steven obviously lacks for something in his personal life so tries to get attention here by trolling, being annoying, and trying to start flame wars. If he comes back, which I hope he doesn't but don't hold out much hope of that, maybe if we all ignore him, he can just continue to talk to himself and the other psycho who pets him and eggs him on. I bet he'll get bored by and by and go find some other forum to plague.

LOL. I actually try to avoid that particular thread. :D

Everyone has a little “deviation from the norm” in various respects, but others peg the meter when it comes to the degrees of difference between “normal”, “eccentric” and “Abby Normal”.

A person who is malicious and continues to break the rules is perm-banned. My point is that those who are “off” and obviously “off” but only annoying, not malicious, should be treated with temp-ban, not a perm-ban, even if it’s every day forever.

A method of rehab would be nice; if they play nice during the day, they get to stay at night.

Due to a combination of early retirement and Trump's massive failure of leadership (contributing to that early retirement) Netflix has been working overtime. There's so much demand that the most current movies are tough to get so my cue has seen a lot of movies buried in my cue being sent to me. A lot of them have been classic dramas like Out of the Past, The Best Years of our Lives and, currently watching, A Letter to Three Wives.

All are great movies and well worth watching at least once, although I did see Best Years several years ago.

But let's be honest, a main reason I like them is because the women's hairstyles were really hot!

FWIW, a Wayne biography says he and Maureen knocked boots for quite a few years, off and on, while Wayne was going through his three wives.

 
Really? What do you like about them? My mom wore her hair like that her entire life. :loveu:

Thanks for the pic. Did she have to spend a lot of time on her hair or was it just a beauty shop visit once a week?

She had very thick dark wavy hair. She got perms every now and then, I don't know how often. So she didn't spend a lot of time fixing it up; she wasn't a princess sort of woman at all. Lipstick and a touch of powder was the only makeup she ever wore.

Naturally wavy is great. I know women with wavy or curly hair hate it and wish they had straight hair and women with straight hair...well you know.

I'm currently watching "Dark Victory". It's better than I thought and holds up pretty well despite its age. Ronald Reagan had a small role in it. He'd been in movies for about two years when 1939's "Dark Victory" came out. I saw him and thought, "WTF? It's 1939 and he looks old in it!" Which he did. I guessed late 30s but he was only about 28.

But let's be honest.....Ronald Reagan probably always looked old. Like Benjamin Button without ever looking younger.

And Walter Matthau too, eh?
 
For several hundred years people have immigrated to the Americas not to become rich and go back home, but to live and to raise their families in freedom. Freedom from the tyranny, no matter how benevolent, of a monarchy, a dictatorship or a socialist authoritarian state. The people left the comfort of their families and the culture where they were raised and moved to a foreign culture along with many others foreign to the wilderness of the Americas. Many arrived with nothing and either found their dreams or a small measure of peace that couldn't be found in their former homeland.

But let's be honest, most immigrants, like most Americans, are assholes. They weren't content to sit on their asses and accept their fates like everyone else in the old country so they had to make a big fucking deal about it. When that didn't work, they effectively told all of their countrymen "Fuck you, I'm going to America!". Most of their countrymen were happy they did.

That explains a major difference between the US culture and the more ancient cultures of Europe and Asia. Not only is the US different because it's a melting pot of cultures, but it's composed of people with the same "Fuck you, I'm leaving!" view of life. To a lesser extent this also explains the differences between the citified citizens of the US and those who choose to live in less confined, more free areas of the US.
 
I like Bob Dylan songs and Tom Cruise movies but, let's be honest, both of these guys are the type of dicks you'd never invite to a party if they weren't famous.

Earlier, I listened to Joan Baez's whining lament about lost love with Bob Dylan in "Diamonds and Rust". Great song but what sane adult doesn't think "Damn, young love is so stupid!"

 
The Year of COVID is coming to an end, although, like running a marathon, some are dropping out before the finish line.

The catharsis of COVID, especially after the initial failed response exacerbated our nation's problems, will scar our national psyche for decades to come. More so than 9/11 IMO.

The changes in the nation are already visible such as the greater utilization of telecommuting and both personal and business video conferences.

People have been through personal changes too such as loss of employment and, worse, loss of employment. Others have used the year for personal changes such as hobbies and/or self-edification.

But let's be honest; some have found the upper limit of their tolerance to repeated alcohol and drug abuse.

Although it takes time to compile and assess the data, I expect alcohol abuse, fatalities and alcohol-related incidents involving the law will spike over the past year before settling back down to normal parameters over the next year.
