Learnt something new today!

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 7 Jan 13

I've spent most of the afternoon rolling around the goat shed floor trying to hold on to a goat whilst my partner trimmed her hooves. I feel that I got the bum end of that deal (quite literally much of the time!) but I'm the main...

grandpa_lash Ah yes, hoof trimming - or in our case dog toenail trimming, since we don't have goats but we do have dogs. We had them in for immunization and worming yesterday, and got the nails done while we were there. Our mastiff X, the wussiest, gentlest dog in the...

"This way. No this way"

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 5 Jan 13

Western countries generally operate a two party system, one leftwards leaning the other tends to look to the right. Conservative and Socialist is the typical configuration. Often, especially in Europe, there is a centre party too...

grandpa_lash I have believed in democracy all my adult life, but as I approach the end of it, I find myself more and more in sympathy with Marx's concept of the lumpenproletariat on the one hand, and the justifiable cynicism with which thinking modern men and women...

I'm just listening to the news and there has been a report regarding the death of a 20 year old medical student who was gang raped in India. The report goes on that government sees the importance of stopping this sort of thing...

Conserative or Alternative Ideas?

MoonGypsy @MoonGypsy (4606) • United States 10 Dec 12

most of the time, my ideas are not conservative. i don't mean only politically either. some people blindly follow whatever the status quo says is the conservative, traditional way of thinking. for example, the standard love of god...

grandpa_lash I will shout it to the rooftops - conservatism and its alternatives are strictly due to personality type, and the majority of people are of the 4 types for whom conservatism/traditionalism/conformity are simply a part of their innate personality. I would bet...

Small Talk

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 9 Dec 12

I firmly believe that small talk is a skill. I grew up with my Mum initiating conversations with people in shop queues, then worked in a sales environment for some years so have no problem with it myself at all. By comparison...

grandpa_lash 68 years old, and I still have to say, I don't have any small talk, only big talk (lol). I do understand the point, and if forced to can manage, but I can't help moving conversations into the "big" issues. Mea Culpa. Lash

Is marital unfaithfulness a valid disqualifier for political office?

habibti320 @habibti320 (925) • United States 13 Nov 12

After hearing about David Patraeus's recent resignation from the CIA because of his "affair", it brought back memories of Bill Clinton. Honestly, it seemed a bit off. If he wanted to take time away from his job to focus on his...

Is it ok for a very old person to love very young person?

ajithlal @ajithlal (14716) • India 25 Feb 07

There are lots of movies in which one person is very elder and the other person is very younger. The ending most times is tragedy. In life is it right for a very elder person to love very young person like he is around 40 to 50...

Hope for the president to be assassinated

Ladycwells @Ladycwells (96) • United States 12 Nov 12

According to The Root, The Daily News is reporting Denise Helms, 22, posted on Facebook that "Another 4 years of this N*****, maybe he'll be assassinated this term." and is now being investigated by the Secret Service. She also...

grandpa_lash What gets me about these toxic zealots is that they ignore the substance of the issue, in this case wishing for the assassination of the President, and carry on about the form, or some irrelevancy (in context). It shouldn't matter which side of the fence you...
