Okay, so what is this old fart missing in this question? Aren't we ON social media here? We're a bunch of people talking to each other over the internet. I would take that as evidence that we like THIS social media. Or are FB and twitter the only things that count?

Rub, I think you're conflating two different shows. Car 54 was a sit com. I was 10 when it came out, and remember watching it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_54,_Where_Are_You%3F
There was a show that was dramitic recreations of actual incidents, I can't find it right now.
One of these days some cops somewhere are going to decide to just stop working for a couple of days so that everybody will appreciate what they do. I wouldn't blame them at all. Restaurant workers who spit in the food should be charged with assault. If the customer is a cop that would be assaulting an officer.

I want to try something new, any ideas?
by Tameria2001 innormally when jws come to my door, i very quickly tell them i'm not interested in the jws.
and for about a year or so they don't come until that time passes.
well, they came by today, but this time i decided to not tell them to go away but had a nice conversation with the two that were at my door.

I've stumped them a couple of times with a question: How can they be Christians if there offical doctrine teaches that Jesus is not their mediator? Every time their response is "Of course we teach that Jesus is our mediator," to which I say "When did that change?" They will it hasn't and I refer them to the 1979 and 1989 Watchtower articles and invite them to come back after they look that up.
None of them ever come back, I hope that I gave them something to think about.

How many times did the Republicans vote to repeal Obama care? Maybe the Democrats are going to try to break that record by impeaching Trump 150 times.

How old are the children? If they are young you could watch with them and talk about the parts you disagree with (note I said talk WITH them, not at them). If they're teenagers, the fastest way to get them to watch more is to forbid it. If they're over 18 why are you telling them what they can watch, and more importantly why are they listening to you?

Probably meaningless. The bank account is in Aruba (or that is the bank's HQ) and the entities are in Aruba and Barbados. Unless the WTBS is flying in boxes of cash it's a couple of local accounts for local entities.

I did poorly at math in grade school. My first run at college I majored in English because I knew I couldn't cut it in the STEM classes. Nine years after I graduated college I went back to study something that people would pay me to do. A year later I had a certificate in business managment with an emphasis in accounting. I spent the next tweny-six years of my life doing Algebra every day. Somewhere along the line I got good at it. I suspect that most people on this thread actually use algebra at lot more than they think.
Our college finance system (at least here in the US) is more f****D up that our medical insurance. It's a device for turning the future income of students into the current income of college profs and staff. The loan program makes no distinction between majoring in brain surgery and Lithuanian Art History. So we send people into the world with no job skills and $100k in debt and wonder why they are struggling.

I've thought that if anything kills off mankind, it's be microscopic beasts.
Viruses ARE microscopic beasts.
If Trump is judged Guilty, people will start dropping like flies and Trump will declare himself President for Life
The second senator number 67 votes guilty, he's not President anymore. Mike Pence will be sworn in immediately.
The Chinese are building a new hospital to treat ill people in the affected region and it will be ready within weeks—Wow 😮
I heard it will be ready next week. I don't think it will be a hospital the way we think of one. Think "MASH" instead.
I don't trust news outlets, but I trust the Chinese less. The fact that they are quarantining major cities is at odds with their public numbers of the people sick and dead. I believe the problem is much greater than they are letting on.
