On the other hand, learning to deal with people you dislike is a useful skill. If everyone segregates themselves into opposing factions there will never be any progress.
Of course, I’ve personally blocked about 600 people…
A lot of Americans went crazy after the US lost the war in Vietnam. Ronald Reagan offered them a return to a happier time, when everything made sense.

One part of it is the English conquering 75% of the planet and putting their teachers in every classroom.
Mankind’s been screwing things up since the start.
The Sahara Desert used to be verdant
otoh, that’s when the economy started crashing…
[jk, I can do two hours on how Nixon’s Vietnam War spending and Reaganomics destroyed the middle class. I just can’t resist a good set-up line]

Could be.

The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?
When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960’s he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.
Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, “The Carpetbaggers.”
HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in ‘The Aviator.’

You’re funny.
What exactly do you think I misunderstand?
We all agree it’s a fantasy TV show, being shown on commercial networks in order to sell advertising.
My take is that as adults people should understand that the show is a fantasy and is meant for light entertainment purposes.
But you were so shocked and offended by the depiction of the police that you caught a case of the vapors.
I understand your criticism of the portrayal of the police. I simply find it ridiculous.
It’s 2024.
You HAVE to ass the ‘/s’ mark to any post like that, because Jewish space lasers and LGBT weather control are a thing.
You remind me of the people who got upset when the Green M+M changed her shoes.

The book ‘Starship Troopers’ is a lot different from the movie.
In the book the Bugs have space ships and other tech, so it’s obvious that their leadership in intelligent. The question is whether the soldiers in the field are thinking for themselves or just genetically programmed to fight.
The narrator opines that if the Bug can kill you, that makes it smarter than you.
