spot asks:
How far back do you need to go to find a time when a reference to Uncle Sam was pro-American as opposed to cynical.

I have no idea. Thanks for asking, and keep those questions coming!

Snooz mentioned Antifa. Already, the insane clown posse that is in support of yesterday's nonsense are claiming the mob was made up of Antifa members who posed as "Patriots" and that is why the mob turned violent. Only Antifa, they claim, would stoop to this. I'm exhausted just typing this!

Not impressed by your recent selections.

I have a question for the Americans on this board. Australia has laws concerning incitement to violence and inciting people to break the law.\
Can Rudi and Donald be done for this if the proverbial hits the fan? Or can they use the cover of the courts ? Citing that their claims are a lawful ...

I have no fondest memories. They've all been horrible and I could go back to 1966 and say it then too. That was the first year he came to my attention. I've been living with this for a Long Time!

Hey Anne, welcome back, we've missed you!

There's another headline today, "QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene wins Georgia Republican primary". I'm rather surprised there's anyone in America who disapproves of QAnon, a new power centre which relies on deliberate lies to gather proselyte believers worldwide in much the same way early ...

This is heartbreaking to me.

Let's find someone to blame.

Henry Ford.

Any improvement on Henry Ford, or are we settled.

They are very different places. The Arctic ice is just yards thick and all afloat, the Antarctic ice is miles thick and all on a continental landmass except the fringes. I've never seen an estimated date for the end of the Antarctic ice but it must be thousands of years off. The Arctic will be ice ...

spot, thank you for recommending Paul Beatty. My local library has been closed for some time now, but when it reopens I am looking forward to reading him. May I recommend to you Colson Whitehead, especially his fabulous book 'Underground Railroad'. Once you read that you might never forget it.

AnneBoleyn

The Antarctic is melting too.

AnneBoleyn

Yo, Betty (as spot would say) I'm glad you're not referring to me! Anyway, now that I've been shown the 3 bar icon, I like it.

I used an emoticon because I know spot hates them!

Now I'm comfortable maneuvering this forum, so thanks Lars & spot.

AnneBoleyn

Thank you! And spot too, as he also replied. I feel much better now because I like to keep up with you guys. See ya.

AnneBoleyn

I guess you're not talking about Chaz Bono

Can't you brothers go back to Recent Posts or whatever it was called? I don't like having to go through the whole front page to find New Posts. It bothers me so much I hardly show up (not that I'm missed!

) Seriously, it's annoying.

Actually, Law abiding citizens are NOT forbidden to own guns in New York.
