  Should Difference of Opinion Be Squelched On Sites Such As FB or Twitter?

  by minimus in

  i think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.

  one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.

  when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

  Twitter tweeted today:

  "Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections."

  And this:
  

  "Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps.

  We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet."

  Apparently Twitter's position is "shut downs for thee, not me."

  Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

  it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

  A columnist I favor reading, Patrick Buchanan, wrote in his latest:

  "House Democrats want veto power over whom Republicans can nominate. And this is the crowd that does not cease to bray about its devotion to “democracy.”

  Bray about democracy! Spot on.

  he’s unhappy with republican leadership.

  can you see trump leaving the gop and going rogue?

  How can he abandon a party that didn't want anything to do with him? The Republican party is controlled by a bunch of milquetoast mouth breathers like Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, and Mitch McConnell. They laugh at the idea of America First and most of the things their deluded supporters hold dear - pro-life, 2nd Amendment, less government, fiscal responsibility, etc. The Republican party stands for absolutely nothing.

  Are You Satisfied To Let The Government Take Care of You?

  by minimus in

  some people want limited government involvement in their lives.

  the less government, the happier they are.

  others feel there’s not enough government intervention.

  No. I'm a white male and by default the source of all societal woes. The government might want to "take care of me" but not in a good way.

  The vaccine does protect against COVID-19, but will it protect against COVID-19.1: The Next Generation? That version has apparently arrived in Britain and will spread everywhere. Personally, I prefer to wait awhile to see what the side effects are.

  my jw mom just died last week, about 6 1/2 months after my non jw dad died (dehydration, starvation, imo) i was the executor of that will.

  before a month had passed of his death, my dad & mom's will was changed.

  i didn't know until she died.

  A prominent business owner here died several years ago. He was an amazing entrepreneur. When he passed he left an estate rumored to be 9 digits. An extensive estate. Anyway, his three children - a son and two daughters - had been at war with each other for a long time. After the will was read they immediately contacted their legal teams and started suing each other. After years of litigation, the ATTORNIES of all people told the heirs that they really needed to settle because if they didn't the estate would be consumed by legal fees. They heirs did settle and part of the settlement was that some of the families are no longer allowed to speak to each other.

  I don't know if this is a good example of contesting a will. Splitting up estates can get really nasty especially when lawyers get involved.

  I'm watching PBS's Frontline. The story, "Return From ISIS," is about an American woman who went to Syria with her husband who was a ISIS soldier. Now she wants to return to the States. It's an interesting documentary, but what really caught my attention is the part where her father is being interviewed and he says that the woman was raised a Jehovah's Witness. He said that as a child she was always getting in trouble. It was an unexpected plot twist. If you care to watch the show:
