@vtgrad2003 That missive you wrote there could be the beginning of some stand up. 😂 As a former professor of a university here as well, students are getting lazy and the stupid government is encouraging it. Since you referenced liberal democrats dumbing down education to make it fair, I'm sure motie2 will chime in to be protect them and their failing policies 😉😁
@RockyMountainBriar Funny you mention that. While I'm allowed (to some extent) to smoke in my garage, I am NOT allowed to smoke cigars in the garage for the same reason!
@Londy3 Something needs to change, that's for sure. The direction things are going now (educationally speaking) is not sustainable if we want to continue having any influence on this planet at all. I see in my work in development economics that pretty much everyone kicks our ass when it comes to performing mundane tasks such as basic mathematics. As I've said many times before on this site, this platform that democrats are standing on right now is temporary...all this overexcitement gets tiresome and it dies out, but the one thing that will last for a long time will be our deficiencies in competitiveness--and it's getting worse as we speak.
@vtgrad2003 Yes, They did actually give out prizes when the forum went live and that lasted for about six to 10 months until the FDA issued regulations which basically prohibited them from giving away things. This was also about the same time that free samples at pipe shows were also prohibited if I remember correctly.
For the first three or four months, the coveted door price was a pipe. In July 2016, I received a beautiful Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson with both a normal length stem and a churchwarden stem. It's in my regular smoking rotation.
I guess that those with "pure blood" don't use drugs, prescription, nonprescription or illegal. Alcohol enters the blood stream so that's out. Nicotine enters the bloodstream through saliva so all tobacco users or e-cig users are out. Chemical additions to food would be a disqualifier so organic consumers only. Fish has mercury, can't eat that. I can't imagine a living thing that has "pure blood."
Umm, who cares if anyone gets vaccinated...I am, that's all that matters to me. All this worrying about what others are doing is simply ridiculous, just do what you want and if that includes getting vaccinated, great, if it doesn't, great too.
"Wow" I don't believe in "it takes a village", it only takes yourself/myself, but then, I am a capitalist. It's the decisions that 'you' make in life that count, not what others do.

I just got a quote for $14,730 to replace two heat pumps! Got one the other day over $17,000! Damn! This is the sort of thing that really irks me about this climate change agenda crap. Think about an old person on a fixed income that can't use R22 coolant anymore...democrats could care less though, it's all about 'climate change' (which used to be global warming, before that it was supposed to be another 'snowball Earth' in the 80's). Just another way to screw over lower and fixed income people that they could care less about.
There's no such thing as climate change/global warming. The Omicron variant is Democrat nonsense. So is the whole fake corona virus thing. It's a plot cooked up by Hillary in the basement of a pizza parlor where they store the bodies of children killed by the lizard people who are running the goverrnment.
@motie2 Do you have an “in” with the government? First you somehow obtain a LAW and now you know the inner workings of the government too. You best be careful, they might get you into the basement😳. You might be ok, they can’t “suicide” us all.
@RockyMountainBriar Don't believe everything you hear about everything. Not anything, everything. Fake news is a keen, double edged sword. Cuts both ways, dontcha know?

Oh geeze, they are going to equate that to nazism. If they haven’t already.
Genius level name check..
Plain-as-day wording.
“We’re OK! We’re better than OK - We’re pure.”
(The others are impure, QED.)
Over one thousand Americans are dying daily from Covid.
The real tragedy is that so many - too many - of the dead were pure.
I know, I know: it’s fake news.
If that were only true.
Wow.

"to each his own"
I have no idea who said that
Was that from Marx, "from each according..., to each..."
I can't remember the full quote.
Heh-heh. Sad
