"Never have a discussion with someone, who s opinions you don t share"

Some US president once said. Maybe one of those first 3, who also toked Cannabis.
I have to look it up, which i am way to lazy to do.

But their famous quotes helped through, dark times.

Like Al Huang s metaphoric explanation of Igikai ?
Non-sense, Physic s, organic pattern s of energy,
my way, i hang to my idea s, and enlightenment.
 
^ Also, with the general outlooks on life. Life does go on.
 
And life can be so ironic.

It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence

and absence to value presence.


I appreciate you all very much. Thank you once more.
 
The phrase "Don't do war, do conversation" is a powerful call for peaceful conflict resolution and understanding. It suggests that rather than resorting to violence, people should engage in dialogue, negotiation, and empathy to address disagreements and build stronger relationships. This approach highlights the importance of open communication, understanding different perspectives, and finding common ground.
Here's a breakdown of the key ideas:

IF THIS WOULD HELP WITH FOCUSING ON TOPIC AND BY ALL MEANS COULD BE GREAT ADVICE FOR A POLITICAL FORUM WHERE CONFLICT CAN ESCALATE AND GROW WITH SEVERITY AND INTENSITY.


( from " The Art of War " )
Avoidance of War:
The phrase explicitly rejects war and violence as a means of resolving conflict.

Importance of Conversation:
It emphasizes the value of communication, dialogue, and negotiation as alternative approaches to conflict resolution.

Building Understanding:
Conversation allows for the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and emotions, which can lead to greater understanding and empathy between individuals and groups.

Finding Common Ground:
Through open dialogue, people can identify shared values, goals, and interests, which can serve as a basis for cooperation and collaboration.

In essence, the phrase advocates for a shift away from the destructive cycle of violence and towards a more peaceful and constructive approach to conflict resolution. It suggests that by engaging in meaningful conversation and building empathy, people can find ways to bridge differences and work towards a more harmonious world.


Edited: for just a Typo.

But C'mon it's just Politics.

Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this one!

~~~~~~~



A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics '

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.


Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'

The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'

So just throwing a little humor into politics a bit with an oldie but goodie.

Remember this one ! Why so Serious !
~~~~~

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look

so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the

proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ....... a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !
