just drop a nice tasty  treat on the road sometime ...    next day you won't see them.

Cant believe  that two people even agreed with that reply. 99% of the  time there is negative behaviour by dogs it is the owners or the person's being attacked  fault. Steve100 has no idea what lead  to the attack yet proposes poisoning the dogs.

70's if they know they are not going to be here in 10 years that's why they are nasty

If I was not going to be here another 10 years why would i save all tha nustines for later?

I say never leave for tomorrow what the can do today 

I have a British friend who is afraid to go out of the house from the number of people that stop thim and ask him what British food is like. Some have even gone as far as to scale his fence and wake him up to ask  said question . 

Me being a considerate person never do, but the curiosity is killing me.

I sure hope that we will finally resolve this profound question once for all in this thread an allow our British friends the freedom of leaving home without being accosted my all of these rude non Brits.

Saying that Trump is a coward is the height of ignorance... or someone who lives under a rock.

Trump is a coward.

Many of my friends who plan to vote for him refer to him as a degenerate, a liar and a thief. They know who he is. But, they like some of his positions. They say it is not about the man, it is about the issues. 

But do they realise that the issues will never be implemented, because don does only what is good for don. 

Oh come on, let's get real. 

Take your maga hat off and tell me you dont think Harris would wipe the floor with trump in a debate,

What a bunch of nonsense, and back peddling. 

"Minutes later, Trump noted, "I haven’t agreed to anything. I agreed to a debate with Joe Biden." "

So that answers the question what has changes . 🐔

"The Trump campaign said Thursday he will not participate in a debate until Democrats finalize their nominee  " or after he provides his tax returns 

Harris would wipe the floor with trump

Alot of my conservative friends admit what a subpar human being he is, yet they support some of his positions. Some have said they will vote for him, but they will hold their noses in disgust. 

My next door neighbor and good friend in New York is a Republican legislator in Orange county.In private both her and her husband have said to me that they are "embarrassed" by trump. But publicly... 

He committed to a debate  at a particular time and date with the democratic nominee.

So what has changed?

I agree.

His base is very violent.

This is IMO an interesting perspective. 

Violence is always the refuge of those who have run out of ideas. 

I am willing to bet that for the most part. if they were to take an IQ test his base will score significantly less than those on the left.

I know it sounds elitist but I think it is an accurate observation. 

You know "stupid is as stupid does" 

Intelligence promotes understanding, and understanding promotes respect as opposed to fear. If we understand fire we respect it enough not to put our hand in it, but we do not fear it because we take adequate protective measures, 

  Fear is a great motivator, and and the driving force behind a conservative mind

  . In any sales seminar , the first thing that it is taught in overcoming objections, is that  the fear of loss is greater than the desire for gain. 

"Studies have found that subjects with right-wing (or conservative in the United States) political views have larger amygdalae "

  Fear becomes actionable in the Amygdala.

"As soon as you recognize fear, your amygdala (small organ in the middle of your brain) goes to work. It alerts your nervous system, which sets your body's fear response into motion. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released "

  So the question is what came first, the chicken or the egg? has fear lead to an enlarged amygdala, or does an enlarged amygdala  is the cause of excess fear? 

so I guess  one could say that the situation in the US is a mental health issue.

Wouldn't it be funny, if conservatism could be cured with medication. like an enlarged prostate ?

That is his disgusting lying pattern.

Like with Obamacare which he tried very hard and almost succeeded in killing and he was always saying his great health care plan replacement better and cheaper was coming soon. He never proposed anything. He's a grifter, con man, criminal, and if Americans make the mistake of bringing him back to power, I'm sorry, Americans deserve to lose their democracy because that is his aim. 

What is more troubling than trump is that he has exposed willingness of a large part of the american public to buy his nonsense. Regardless of what happens with trump don't think that other players (trump wannabes) have not taken   notice.I hate to be so pessimistic, but   

I am afraid we are  in for a rough ride  unless cooler heads prevail.  

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Not all of the policies he proposes are bad, it is that he is bad, and cant believe anything he says.

He is a poisoned vesel , anything good placed in that vessel will be contaminated and ruined.

I watched him talk about Ukraine , all he does is brag how he will solve the issue and how he will do it quickly, but he never says how he will do it.

He is an empty suite , an actor acting the part.
