We have one forum with zero threads, and four with five or fewer threads. The "What's for Dinner" thread already has 145 posts. I think it deserves its own forum more than Musical Freestyles, with no threads at all.

It's distressing that you think that "facts" are what dictate what people believe. People tend to believe what they perceive are facts - regardless of the accuracy of those facts. I am not distressed. You appear to be. So, which is it? :lol: Your constant claim to be able to tell other pe...

KathyK

Yes! We have so many great cooks here, I'd like to be able to check out new posts about cooking without having to sift through all the threads in the OL.

Perception is not reality when it comes to facts. It's distressing that I have to point this out to you. It's distressing that you think that "facts" are what dictate what people believe. People tend to believe what they perceive are facts - regardless of the accuracy of those facts. What...

I think you need to learn a thing or two about statistics. I don't think so. ...because by its very definition, 50% ANY population is below the average intelligence OF that population. That is quite different from your original statement that "... 50% of the population is below average intelli...

KathyK

What population? The implication is that 50% of the population of the US is below average intelligence. That's not something you can say with any certainty.

To get the discussion back on track...any idea how many parents trudge their kid down to the police station I work in every week asking to have us tell their kid they will be arrested if they don't listen? That's not including the times officers are standing in line somewhere on lunch and they hear...

They don't want to make the tickets $19 more because that would stop a lot of people from buying them. So they suck you in with the lower price and by the time they hit you with the "fees," you're already in the ordering process and figure what the heck.

It's still semantics. The real question should be what is the average level of intelligence? It's not semantics. The average intelligence of a particular population can be quite different from the average intelligence of another population. Intelligence is generally measured by IQ, and "averag...

Just because you believe that FOX is biased, sheltered and prejudiced doesn't mean FOX is wrong. You might be interested in this article, which discusses a study showing that people who get their information solely from Fox "News" are less informed than people who don't watch the news at ...

Not quite right. 50% of the population is below the average intelligence of that population, not automatically or necessarily below average intelligence.

What a terrible situation for him, and for you, too. Wishing him well.

I was a reader of UDBB for several years and there are several posters that I miss. Mostly they were in the training forum but I often liked Mike Matson's stuff on the Observation board. I don't have an FB account so I miss a lot of the quick, light stuff that Mike re-posted on UDBB. Just mosey ove...

I hope you're feeling better today. I'm glad you got a diagnosis that means you won't need drugs or surgery to fix the problem.

Same to you, Paris! You look marvelous.

My point is not that good LEOs should make the news. My point is that the bad ones do make the news and people tend to remember the bad.....not that there are thousands of very good LEOs doing a great job every day. But that's the point, isn't it? Bad acts by LEOs should be newsworthy. If they beco...

When I first got the Solofil I had the same experience. Loads of yucky grounds! That's why I use the mini filters. Problem solved.

Good LEOs should not make the news. Extraordinarily good acts by LEOs should, and often do, make the news.

When I use my own coffee and a Solofil cup, I can make the coffee as strong as I like.

NO SMOKING! I'm really sorry it fell through. Rhianon is right -- better you found out now that it wasn't going to work. I'm sure that the right horse, one that comes equipped with the right person, will come along soon.

So why are the people that are so afraid of being shot walking across a parking lot, not afraid of being run down by a someone with a weapon that is just as lethal. Why are people so upset that a kids are shot by a "crazy" person, but seemingly not so upset that kids were run over by a &q...

KathyK

Who cares whether WMW wants to tell us whether she carries a gun? I certainly don't. What I object to is allowing every Tom, Dick, and Harry to walk around with loaded weapons, and the ridiculous arguments that are used to justify arming the general populace.

KathyK

I am so sick of the car analogy that is used by people who have no real argument to justify open/concealed carry. The lack of honesty in this analogy is astonishing. You come across like you don't understand that the primary purpose of driving a car is transportation, while the primary purpose of ca...

Whose paranoid what???

Even grammatically correct, that's a laughable, nonsensical statement.

KathyK

Statistically, except in extreme and extremely infrequent cases, there is no danger, clear and present or otherwise, in going to the movies. If there were, people would stop going.

KathyK

More false analogies. There are overwhelming statistics that prove that because of the huge numbers of auto accidents, not buckling up can be very dangerous. Same thing with helmets. We know that many, many people fall from their horses and riding without a helmet is practically inviting a TBI if yo...

KathyK

I'm saying that people believing their lives are in enough danger that they arm themselves when out and about their daily activities is of great concern to me, as that kind of paranoia isn't a sign of a composed and healthy mind. It puts me and those I care about in danger through no fault of our ow...

KathyK

People like WMW appear to be paranoid that their lives are going to be threatened at any given moment, so they must be armed as they stroll through the Piggly Wiggly. What a way to go through life. :( Or perhaps WMW considers herself a "boy scout" and is always prepared. One never knows. ...

Remember the guy who gave his employees a $70,000 minimum wage back in 2011 (and drastically cut his own salary to that figure, too)? Here's what's happened to the company since then: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2015/10/23/remember_dan_price_of_gravity_payments_who_gave_his_employees_a_70_00...

You have to find the humour or you'd suffocate yourself with the grim realities of life. My MIL lived eight hours away from us. Her daughter, Jane, was the only one of her (adult) children who lived in the same city, so the brunt of everything fell on her shoulders. Towards the end when MIL was rea...
