a woman who speaks in word salads Harris has often been criticized for her Word-Salad approach to public speaking.

I never enjoyed politics....and even thinking about politics gives me hives. As well, it seems to me that 2024 is shaping up to be our most vile year, so far. Global Warming is on track to destroy organized human civilization, just as Ehrlich predicted, back in 1968. Yet, collectively, human behavior has not only not changed for the better, but has become even more destructive. If you wish anyone commenting here to project positivity about the future prospects for the human race, then perhaps you are asking too much. I wish I could be more optimistic and still be realistic.

Yes. there is always the possibility that this might be true. Therefore, before posting anything I know in a comment on The Farang Pub, I first pass it through a filter. The filter I use is called: The Scientific Method Also, I never allow my personal beliefs, nor my cultural beliefs, or any other non-evidence-based filters, to influence the truths that I add to the forum. The only filter of value, which I call The Great Filter, is the filter that comes naturally when we meticulously apply... The Scientific Method I wish that everyone in government would do the same.

I know what I know. But, even I don't know everything.

You can always take your Black Music with you. Who does not just love this culture? Probably The Salad Woman can't understand the first thing about it. They don't have great music like this in India. Dave Brubeck:

Yes. Very offensive unless.... It's The Color Purple... Whoopi Goldberg was saying. “Nobody else would understand the things that would drive me crazy.” Don't worry, Whoopi... AT LEAST, the Guys on TV's Farang Pub understand you....

If you want to know what life with Elon might look like on Mars, just take a look at his dorm room, at The Quadrangle, at Penn.... Those were, indeed, far happier times... I wish I could go back. Just about the only place I was happy in the USA... Besides The Main Line.... The rest of the USA is a dump... (slight hyperbole, perhaps, yet nearly true).

Take Five, Man! Better....

I never said that the concept of race is valid, from a science perspective. I only say that some animals are members of a sub-species of hominids. Not all hominids alive today are sapiens, you know.

Even more devious than...say.... Rasputin? If the Americans (please leave me out of this election) were to elect The Salad Woman, They will RUE THE DAY! It's in the stars!

Not so fast. There are also many Democrats that will NEVER, ever, vote for the Word-Salad Woman. Not even the first time! There is just no way that the Salad Chef will ever rise to the office of POTUS. No way. The gods are against it. Although, it certainly is true that all candidates are garbage, yet if one is to vote, one must just hold ones nose and vote for the least smelly garbage of them all. So sad that the democrats actually did have the opportunity, in late 2023...to find a highly qualified candidate among the many potential candidates available. They chose, instead, to not do so. INSTEAD, We all got the .... BAIT AND SWITCH. Bait and Switch. The Salad Woman instead of Fuming Joe. They are ALL nothing but flimflam artists and hucksters. Bait and Switch....BIG TIME... The Switcheroo had been planned for many months, and it was all a scam. Easy to see now that it has happened.

Who do you think wrote it? Talk about a strange question. Who do you think writes the comments posted by GammaGlobulin? Gamma writes them.

I can easily accept and appreciate many different types of art that is not pornographic, and I take exception to the Afro-american, Garbage-gutter and Black-prison-derived, Crack-Head-Hoe type Slum-Rap music which is causing great tragedy among the youth of this generation, and in society in general. This music is very dark, and sung/performed for the purpose of gaining FING Bling. Perhaps this music is a sign of the sins of our past, namely Black American Slavery and Slave Ships. In fact, almost no dirty deed goes unpunished if we wait long enough. And, for sure, America has been punished, for hundreds of years, with the aftereffects of the enslavement of the Black Africans. The descendants of America's slaves will never forgive The White Man. And, even today, the vast majority of America's young black males are held captive in the ghettos of American cities, prisoners of their past, and of their inability to gain an education, and their pornographic values. Culturally speaking, it's almost impossible to interact with these young black bucks that now carry guns and sell drugs in their hoods. In fact, drug-selling and drug-taking is their only economy in town, their only means to support themselves. And, it is only natural for them to wish to glorify and romanticize their Ghetto-life Lives through their Garbage Music. They know no better. They have lived in their Alien Ghetto world their entire lives...and they don't know no better. EVEN IF you were to try to take a black child out of the ghetto and send them to one of the premier, mostly white, boarding schools in the North East of the USA, these children, no matter if one or two outliers might be halfway intelligent, would fail and wish to return to what they know best, the trash and crime-ridden streets where they were born, and where they were exposed to the dregs of their garbage lives. I feel no need to read their trash books, or listen to their trash music which is fundamentally dark and pessimistic. The main REASON we feel affinity for some forms of music rather than other forms of music is primarily cultural. The Salad Woman, and those like her, is a product of the new culture in America. This cannot be changed, and there is no point in trying to change it. The era of the Great White Man is at an end. White Men will always retain power in America. But it will be those from low-class urban and suburban ghettos who will rule the streets of America. We need more gated communities, obviously. And, for sure, we need to build a higher and stronger wall than Trump had ever dreamed of. We do not have a choice. The browning of America began long in the past. I do not see this as being inherently good or bad. It just is. I prefer the cultures of Asia, specifically East Asia, and a bit of SE Asia. African-American culture should be relegated to where the sun don't shine. I will remain happy in Asia. And, my fellow Americans can enjoy living with the Africans in America, which is only the result of their past sins.. I am perfectly fine with that. I will dine on fine Asian food. And my fellow-Americans which I long-ago left behind can suffer their fare of watermelon, fried chicken, and greens. Nothing will change, do what they will.

And, there is quite a nice interview by Charlie Rose with Ang Lee, the author of Ice Storm, and the producer, too..... Here.... Truly a Masterpiece, in my view, as I said. I found the novel, Ice Storm, on the net, for free, in the epub format. Maybe I will read it this evening. Such an amazing film... Also, I had forgotten that Ang Lee (LiAn) was born in PingDong...Taiwan. I had thought Tainan, but Tainan is not very far north of PingDong, which was truly a rural area when LiAn was born there. Very strange, I feel, that he traveled to the USA, and then stayed there, and then found this book ICE Storm...and what were the odds?

When we talk about cultural identity, which I think is the thrust of this Topic, meaning how culture is an integral part of all politics, I think this often does include fine art, and classical music, and more importantly the appreciation of beauty, meaning aesthetics. My first choice for lengthy listening is always classical music, and I prefer Baroque music, and chamber music, and I am sure that you know the composers that have given us this music, over the centuries. Of course I also enjoy good popular music, and good jazz music, but you can hold the gospel, unless you might be talking Blues Brothers Gospel music. But, at least for me, I am unable to listen to pop or jazz for more than a short period of time before I always come back to classical music, mainly because I care about the beauty of it, and the uplifting nature of it. The same goes for fine art. I prefer Monet, and Manet, and Munch, and the rest. Van Gogh is amazing, especially his peach tree which I can enjoy on any given Sunday, and it is possible to appreciate every single brush stroke, just be visiting the VanGogh Museum's website. I find the present-day culture an affront to good taste. It's OK for a brief period of time. Yet, if our cultural roots continue to erode, then we will end up with even more presidential candidates like Trump and Harris in the future. Disgusting, really, the candidates that have somehow come upon us this strange year.

I see. But, in fact, you do not seem as if you are a native-English speaker. Maybe you are just a native who speaks English?

Recoiling? Well, anyway, if you are stating that you reject semantics, in some cases, then you are certainly in good company. I guess you are stating that Syntax is more important than Semantics. However, I think that both are important. Why? Just examine the meaning and usage of the world 'recoil', and to 'recoil from', etc. It is probably not possible to recoil TOWARD or TO something. If you get my drift, then you will see that both Syntax and Semantics is important for communication using any spoken/written language, such as English, and many others. Correct?

And now, you are beginning a lecture in Psychology, and the dynamics of projection?

"bro"? What is it that you you mean by 'bro'? Who talks like that? And, more importantly, who WRITES like that? Where are you from?

Did you mean: Did Vance go to the same train camp, and if so, did he get the wrong conductor? As in:....

Without verbosity, still your comment lacks not in obscurity in meaning.

Which one? If I remind you of someone, then which one?

Yes. You are correct. She has been under Intensive Training for many months, one must presume, in order to try to prepare this...this.... SALAD Woman for the election. We know that much money is spent on creating a product to sell to voters. Even Madison avenue will have difficulty with Harris.... Although, the selling of an imbecile to Americans has been done before...

NO! NOT trolling. But, I AM posting a valid view, and one which is shared by many other educated white males. I do not like the Black Afro-American Ghetto Rap Culture that is taking over the world. If we must have Black-Ghetto Culture, with Plenty of FING Bling.... Then, let it be this....instead. Afro-American "culture" is anathema to me, and I will stick with JS Bach, and with Van Gogh, and the impressionists/post-impressionists. IF America actually wants a BLACK PREZ, then they would, in fact, actually ELECT one. But, they do not. It would be impossible to elect a Black-Afro_American in the USA of today. Such trash culture would not be acceptable to ANYONE! THIS was the POINT of the other poster, that you also replied to. We are NOT Trolls for posting valid views. Troll has become just another four-letter-word, and meaningless, signifying nothing, after being so very overused. One should NOT call anyone a troll just for being different, or for expressing contrary opinions, if said opinions can be supported by evidence. So anyway: All that posters were saying is that, SO FAR, we have not had a Black Prez, meaning culturally black. Or, just go watch To Sir With Love.... Note: Black Ghetto Culture is GARBAGE culture. Nobody wants it, except, maybe to watch on some RAP MTV, which also stinks, compared to JS Bach.

Exactly! Nobody wants Black Culture... For real, and in the real world. Only in Ghetto Rap MTV.
