i asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.
he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.
he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.
The USA spent 20 years and $100 billion training and equipping the Afghan Army and Air Force...a military that has collapsed in a month.
Biden said the US will be completely withdrawn from Afghanistan by September 11th. In a just world, George Bush and Dick Cheney would be arrested and charged with war crimes on September 12th.
what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?
i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.
a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?
Fatso's in the congregations? Really? In America? Have you looked around lately? America as a whole is filled with tubby people. For example, me! I dropped 80 pounds during the pandemic...and I'm still a lard ass (although I weigh less now than when I graduated high school decades ago). JW or not, most people in this country should lose some weight.
some people have thrown their support for the government while others show support for the rebels.
what’s your opinion?.
I'm not sure what is meant by "support." Do I send the protesters money and weapons? No. Do I post Tweets or use other social media in support of the cause? No. Do I go stand on a local street corner with a placard of some sort? No. I do hope the events in Cuba do not end badly for those involved.
in my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.
the effect it had was incredibly horrible!
almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.
Not even close to 9/11. And when people talk about how bad things were in Washington DC on January 6th, they should pause and ponder how bad things would have been had Trump been reelected. The left would have exploded in rage and the riots and deaths and destruction would have been nation wide and sustained.
looting is happening everywhere like never before.
brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.
popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.
Because White supremacy toxic male masculinity privilege. What don't you understand?
When I'm driving 68 MPH on a 60 MPH limit road and meet a state trooper, I give it all up to Jesus. Or maybe I'm cursing.
other than adding 20 lbs over the last 15 months, no known health issues during covid.
i’ve taken 8 lbs off so far and i am within goals.
thank goodness nothing serious here over the pandemic.
I've dropped 70 pounds from my pre-covid high. Losing weight is fairly easy. Keeping it off is the tricky part. I speak from experience.
i began riding motorcycles in my early teens.
my 1979 honda xl500s became my best friend.
i had a few teenage neighbors and school friends that rode too.
I've had a variety of bikes over the years. Currently have a H-D Heritage Softail. I used to ride a lot. I've travelled all over the USA and Canada by bike. But, alas, I'm getting older and the days of 5,000 mile road trips are most likely behind me. And I've tired of going on charity rides where the ride consists of 30 minute runs and 1 hour stops at some bar (not drinking much anymore makes it even more tedious). But, if the weather is half decent I'll fire up the scooter and go on a 200 mile ride to nowhere. The ride IS the destination.
as a rule, there are 3 types.
one is the dramatic over the top person where a hangnail means you might have to get your finger cut off.. the second type is —who me, worry?
i’m not going to let too much of anything bother me unless it really is armageddon.. the third type is the person in between.
There are 3 kinds of learners:
1) Those that learn by reading.
2) Those that learn by watching.
3) Those that go ahead and pee on the electric fence.
if coke disturbed you because of a certain stance would you stop buying coke?
would you stop watching a sport if a certain view was politicized?.
would you boycott a certain product because you did not agree with the corporation’s opinions?
I quit drinking Coke but not for political reasons. I quit drinking Coke and all other sodas because, in my view, the product is little more than flavored poison.
