Here's another thing that has better old versions than new versions: razors.
Old-style razors (whether cut-throat or changeable) give a much better shave than the crap we have today.
ok, you'll have to bear with me with this one.. i want to talk about toasters.
a) a toaster you can buy today, any brand.
b) a toaster invented in 1948. for a bonus, how long do you think a toaster purchased today will keep working?

and do you think he has a chance to win it all?

@Min - it's all academic.
Hillary's gonna run against Trump for a rematch.
And she's gonna lose again! XD
well, these stories are always fun, right?
let me share mine.. my husband and have been pimo for 2 years.
inactive for one year.
Interesting story, erinee.
Sorry, I shouldn't laugh but this ...
One of them asked if I would become a lesbian and my mom asked if we would become SWINGERS
... struck me as funny.
It kinda tickled my funny-bone. Look out - JW sisters who DA become Lesbians! XD
BTW, I think you're right about your children. Don't let them be brainwashed by hard core JW family.
Anyway, whatever you do, I hope it works out for you.
What do you think about doing a nice, slow fade?
recently black lives matter representatives have encouraged people to spit in law enforcement officials foods.
some people are going into police stations and trying to kill innocent officers.
federal officials are marked for death because they try to administer the law.. what is your opinion of this type of lawlessness?.
That's all well and good, Truth Be Known, and your comment makes some good points.
Well, could I volunteer with my local police?
I'm a white male living in Bolton, UK.
Could I stop and search somebody if I suspected that person of carrying a knife?
jimmy saville not being exposed until after he died.
(too well connected with royalty & establishment figures?).
the charities comission "enquiry" into the abuse by jw's resulted in nothing more than a telling-off for the "charity".. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (https://www.iicsa.org.uk) has so far been a damp squib.. the muslim paedophile gangs in england were tacitly approved of by police & social services.
Is paedophilia covered up in the UK? - I'm not sure it's covered up per se.
But it's obvious that rich and powerful people get away with a lot of bad stuff - including child sex abuse.
Your example of Jimmy Savile is spot-on; he should have been investigated and prosecuted when he was still alive.
i personally hate it!
i've tried for years to find a way to enjoy it, but i do not.
i tried.. at the end of the day i feel its just people getting there ego stroked and miss-information.
I like FaceBook and I like this site. YouTube is pretty good, too.
But I have never had a Twitter account and have no plans to create one. Twitter sounds like a load of crap to me.
hi i’ve been learning to draw portraits, and one style i had a go at when drawing young children was a sort of kawaii or cute japanese style.
i wanted to make gifts of these drawings so looked into writing in japanese script to add to the aesthetic.. but oh wow!!
three types of script?!!
I'm an amateur linguist and I've looked into Japanese.
You're right, it has three scripts - one is Chinese characters (used for writing words), one is Katagana (used for writing foreign words and grammatical particles Chinese doesn't have) and the other is Kirigana (used for emphasis, a bit like our use of Italics).
The Japanese writing system would be very hard to learn - Chinese characters are pictograms, i.e. there's no way of telling how they're pronounced.
However, Japanese pronunciation is relatively easy, from what I remember.

I fully support the police.
There are some bad apples in the police force but most are decent officers, doing their jobs under difficult circumstances.
The made-up racist instances on both sides of the Atlantic don't help.
(Here in the UK, police shot and killed Mark Duggan in 2011 in Tottenham, north London. The cops thought Duggan had a gun on him - it turned out he'd thrown it in a bush by the roadside before the police caught up with him. The police weren't being 'racist' here - they were just doing their job. It didn't stop people rioting across London and other parts of Britain. There were people from other parts of London who didn't know Mark Duggan at all, breaking into Burger King and McDonald's and flipping themselves a few burgers with fries on the side! XD Jewellery shops got smashed and burgled, too. The Turkish and Sikh shop owners had the right idea - they stood outside their shops holding swords.)
“in one tweet mr miller wrote: "i was assigned mammal at birth, but my orientation is fish.
" this tweet was among several others which were reported to humberside police as being allegedly transphobic.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-51501202.
any minority group who bring such cases because they have been "offended" by a comment or a joke about their precious "alternate" lifestyle, should take a few steps back and admit what they are really demanding - a total ban on everyone's freedom of speech, except their's!
Good news - the High Court found that Harry Miller's 'transphobic' tweets were lawful and that the police interfered with his right to freedom of expression.
Hopefully this will mark some kind of turning point and return to common sense ...

I'd just politely but firmly affirm my legal rights by stating that I did not wish to discuss the matter with them - I get where you're coming from. Some people do exactly that and that's fine.
But the police would then check your business, check your tax payments, check for anything illegal ... watch you to see if you break the law in any way ...
