It is hard to cheer somebody up who does not even check the facts.

I checked after you posted them. That has to count for something.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

A willingness to accept new information and to change views is far more important than being correct at the outset.  :)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

-J. R. R. Tolkien

I dunno... I'd almost argue that we're back to fighting for a lot of what the second wave fought for. At least, a lot of that wasn't ever accomplished or has gone backwards significantly.

Yep, I mean watch The Handmaid's Tale for crying out loud.  That's pretty much where we are now.

Don't smirk so hard, wouldn't want you to sprain anything.

Keeping whore pills away from cunts, negro cunts and miscellaneous cunts doesn't fit in here, only at your dinner table.

But I said the right thing!  Didn't you even catch my virtue signal?!

You're not supposed to assume a wistful expression when you say that.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I do not really see the point of virtue signalling when we are all still sort of anonymous here.

You can just go back and delete all your posts that were wrong then.  :P
