I visited the JFK memorial rifle range for the first time a few weeks ago while waiting for a passport replacement at the Dallas federal building. The book depository was only 3 or 4 blocks away.
re: Other cultures…..do you agree?

Some might say that canabilism is merely a matter of taste. I mean it's all food right?
Not all cultures are equal. You could argue all day long about cultural differences and the merits of various cultures. The easiest way to determine the value of a culture is to see where people go when they have the means to vote with their feet.
Western European and American culture has been successful for a variety of reasons that distinguish it from less successful and lesser cultures. There is no shame in saying that or being a part of that culture.

re: Are the Palestinians really disliked even by other Muslims?
Posted by StanSmith on 11/21/25 at 9:36 am to prplhze2000
I worked with a guy who had a Palestinian dad and a Lebanese mother. He lived in Kuwait and his dad had a business there. He told me that the Palestinians were expelled by the Kuwaiti government after the Gulf War. I told him that didn't seem fair but I followed up by searching for a reason why they did that. Turns out the Palestinians in Kuwait welcomed the Iraqi with open arms. This fact coupled with the previous history of being useless agents of chaos wherever they reside it is easy to understand why other Muslim countries do not want them. These people are like the living meme of guy on bike who blames someone else for their problems and then jams a stick in the front wheel spokes.
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule.
I had to go to a machine shop in Monterey Mexico a few years ago. The shop was owned by the same parent company that I was employed by. It was an eye opening experience and I recommended that we move our part production out of Mexico. No matter how cheap they were there endless f ups cost us quite a bit of money. The machinist on average were making 2 dollars per hour.

I detest nose rings. Like tattoos it screams poor judgement and personal issues. I do like that the highly unstable go out of their way to mark themselves so the normals can avoid them.

re: Outgoing LSU president calls for more investment in Southern University

If he is so concerned about Southern or other hbcu not receiving enough funding he could always work as president of one of those fine institutions. Doubt he would want the pay cut and massive loss of prestige that comes with the position.

You know what else is weird? Realizing you’re closer to the end as well. It hit harder for me after my dad died.
The existential fear is real. It has taken me about 5 years to adjust. Cope by knowing that how I spend my time and energy is mostly under my control and one should not waste either one. I do miss my father every single day and am eternally grateful for having him as a father.
Enjoyed my visit to Ashville last year. Left there 3 days before the floods. Wouldn't mind living there but the real estate prices are nuts in the town. Prefer to move to TN since there isn't a state income tax and real estate taxes are more reasonable than TX.
Liked Rome but it is too crowded and touristy for anything other than a visit. You can't appreciate western civilization and European history and not visit at least once in your life.

re: Why is it that white women seem to be the most vigilant when supporting the trans movement
Posted by StanSmith on 6/7/25 at 10:04 am to SaintsReportExile
White guilt that has been pushed for the past couple of decades has caused white women to embrace suicidal empathy to ease their guilty conscience.
Consequently they see any support on the latest cause as a means of contrition. The worst of them view their support and being an ally as a moral virtue.
So they are willing to support ideas and people that are in complete opposition to our society and values.
This is one of the reasons I married an Asian woman. Conservative traditional values and a complete unwillingness to follow any trends.
Look at the voting trends in this country with respect to white women. They are the swing vote that keeps ridiculous ideas like open borders, unconditional support for the homeless and male athletes competing as women alive and well. Without the suicidal empathy that is manipulated we would be better off and not fearing a point of no return in our national values.

They found out what the fatigue life of the pressure vessel was. Too bad a few lives were cost to run that experiment.
The most basic engineering principles were ignored in the design of this vessel. If Rush wanted to be the only person on board that wouldn't be an issue. Taking paying customers on an experimental vessel without full knowledge of the risk is unconscionable.
Went to my local Academy yesterday to buy some ammo and wanted to look at an over and under shotgun. Guy behind the counter asked for my ID. Asked him when did this start? He said they had a guy walkout with a handgun earlier this year. I was not someone who likes to hangout at the firearms counter to fondle guns but it is a bit off putting to be asked for an ID to look at a shotgun.

re: Hurricane season starts 6/1/25, are you ready and prepared?
Posted by StanSmith on 5/30/25 at 1:22 pm to alphaandomega
Ready to leave the house for a week again if I get a repeat of last year. I don't hunker down since I have the flexibility to go elsewhere. Besides I have spent multiple days in my lifetime sweating my arse off during multi-day power outages due to hurricanes. Best just to leave the area and take an unplanned vacation.
Note: I do stay during the storm to deal with any damage that might occur. If no damage I'll hop into my fully fueled truck and find an interesting destination.
