New McCharthyism Sweeping the USA and the World?: What examples have you seen?
Dear Folks, From my perspective, having lived a very long time, already, I now feel similarities between the Old McCharthyism and some Nouveau-McCharthyism which is even worse than the old McCharthyism. I am talking about imposition of the need for self-censorship among almost anyone. And, I am talking about TAMPING DOWN and Stamping Out almost any opportunity for free debate at major hallowed halls of the Greatest Universities in the Land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, more of a travesty is the fact that, even just among the Common Man, like you and me, we no longer seem to have the freedom to say what we like. I am talking about the increasing need to self-censor when we discuss almost anything slightly controversial, whether it be with friends, or, maybe now, even in our own minds....perish the THOUGHT! Some of you guys call this WOKEISM...but it is not wokeism in the real sense. WOKE is not what most people think. Just ask Nim Chimpsky. All that I am saying is that.... When we lose the freedom to discuss/debate, with complete freedom, almost any topic....at ANY university....then.... This will have major negative repercussions for the likes of lesser mortals, who don't know what's what. I am not speaking, here, about any particular topic or issue, which might be discussed... I am only talking about the need for freedom and tolerance which will enable us to talk freely, and express freely, different points of view. I guess you have heard about the Chinese Cultural Revolution which set back China many years, at the time, and destroyed so many lives. And so I ask you: Is the USA and the rest of the western world now engaging in a New Cultural Revolution where, just as in the 1960s in China, nobody is allowed to express ideas, or even to THINK ideas? Sure, back in the day, In China.... During the Cultural Revolution... Almost all thought was completely controlled by The Party. And, it seems to me that the USA is doing it's best to copy The Chinese Cultural Revolution, but .... With American Characteristics..... I am sure you recall this book: And so now.... Seems we are getting Chinese Cultural Revolution THOUGHT CONTROL with..... American/Western Characteristics. So... The question is: Do you feel able to speak your mind at university.... Or, speak your mind when out and about, with so-called friends.... Or, for that matter, do you feel free to speak your mind to your WIFE? Just wondering, because...were are obviously now entering a Brave New World of Weird-Speak. Profs are getting banned for discussing issues that once were discussable. Where, OH where.... Will it all end, if this continues much longer? Please tell me. Best regards, Gamma -

The debate thread.
Trump seems to be losing it. Do any Trumpers here believe that the Vice President's brother endorsed Trump? If not, is Trump lying or is he confused? -

You seem to be one of those people who will believe anything that your Dear Leader says - without proof. This speaks volumes about your posts here. BTW, it's not happening.- 1

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
Your position is that Kamala Harris wore a communication device *and* she still lost the debate. You do know that the earbud hoax has already been debunked.- 1

Trying to find a bicycle that is comfortable to ride
My shopping bikes were bought against more or less the same criteria, but I could not find a higher handlebar compared to the saddle. You might have more luck in the local “labourers” shops, but they are unlikely to have large frames. You might need to buy a special stem to raise your handlebars. My current shopping bike is a Giant Escape 2, and when I went to collect it, I had to tell them to reverse the stem from -7 (maybe -15?) to +x. It’s still lower than the saddle, because I am too tall for the frame. I would recommend to avoid suspension, if you can, unless you are going off-road. It just adds weight and drag. But you can get a cheap suspension mountain bike for less than a cheap hybrid (no suspension). -
