No, there isn't, sock.
It's a pathetic attempt to establish yourself a protected class of DEMOCRAT beyond reproach, and we both know it.
For good reason, sock.
So you say, sock.
Ignored. Did you notice?
How long before another liberal jumps in with a purportedly-plausible excuse, or the sock claims that due to "her language skills", she handles Asian clients and thus is not @ work during American working hours?

One thing I have to say about you Frank is you do have a sense of humor. We may disagree poltically but I do enjoy most of our interchanges.
I know your a golfer. Have you ever heard of World Golf Tour, wtg.com? It is the most realistic online golf games I have found.
Great place.
I've had meets there with people from several other fora where I have participated...Open Salon; Abuzz (NY Times site); Able2Know...and a couple others. Met with people from all over the US...and half a dozen foreign countries...sometimes in groups of a dozen or more.
Like I said...great place and very, very popular these days...so was just wondering.

Never heard of it, Grump. I'll check it out, though.
I enjoy the give and take with you also.
I truly do not take much of this ball breaking very seriously. Just a laugh or two...interesting way to pass some time...and often, some information that comes from no other source that really is interesting.

We live in "interesting times," don't we? You're around the same age as the youngest of my kids; I worry for your futures.

I would imagine that a person's experiences in Japan (or any other country for that matter) would vary greatly depending on which part they are in.

Not a single self professed Republican male (assuming you are all male, hard to tell sometimes) has bothered to engage her in her attempts to discuss the economy etc but are instead focused on herself as a person and to discredit her in whatever possible.
Why is it some of you feel the need to attack her personally (all but call her a liar about her personal details) rather than engage in her interesting discussion?

They're terrified of bright, articulate, liberal women. If she had self-described as a Reichwing woman, with all her other attributes the same, they would be fawning all over her like they used to do with Brunette.

Admittedly I haven't followed this thread so I'm speaking from ignorance as to what has been stated earlier. However as one who enjoys discussing the economy I'd be glad to engage and gender doesn't matter. My first question would be if they know who Jerome Powell is because too many people on this board may be political junkies but they have no idea who or what the federal reserve is and what it does. And considering how much control the Fed has over our economy they really don't understand how the system works.
But if this poster does I'd be glad to learn from her.

Great. A new addition to my thread ban list. Enjoy

If New York were a country, it would be less of a shithole than the United States in pretty much all measurable ways. For example, the murder rate in New York is 3.2/100k, compared to 5.3/100k for the nation. The infant mortality rate is 4.5/100k, versus 5.9/100k for the nation as a whole. Life expectancy is 80.5 years, versus 78.9 years for the US. It also is better than the national average when it comes to educational performance, share of the population with college degrees, median income, productivity, GSP per capita, overall crime rates, incarceration rates, obesity rate, and so on. It doesn't compete with the very top US states (e.g., Massachusetts), much less elite social democracies like those of Western Europe, but it is far from the "shithole country" category. If you were looking to throw a US state in that category, you'd do well to look to areas where cultural conservatism have really mucked things up: West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.
Give it a try, if you disagree. Take the actual budget and identify which SPECIFIC changes you would make to bring it into balance. Assuming you're not one who would advocate defaulting on promises (e.g., no longer paying our debt, or reducing military retirement benefits, or Social Security, etc.) I think you'll find it difficult to reach balance. Give it a shot.
