Yep, and they voted for him.
What does that say about the US of A and 50 % of it's electorate.
Would they even care if he was fuc*ing an 8 year old.
Probably not.

Yep it's the same over here.
Far too many youngsters wannabee celebrities or drug dealers.
And expect to live on welfare when things don't work out.

Thing is, if you increase standards of living and therefore increase expectation. You therefore overprice output and risk a decline in trade and jobs.
Fortunately the USA still has a ready supply of cheap immigrant labour...GOD bless them.
Tarrifs is is just isolationist policy.
Wouldn't it be great if we could all work together for the betterment of mankind.

Hey, it's good to pretend that something exists.
Makes existence worthwhile.
Occasionally, some folk just get fed up with it.
Is that actually you in the avatar.
If so, you don't look such a grumpy old git.

Hey Shila.
I exercise more than most 64 year olds do.
Today it's been 1 hour exercise bike and 2 hours dog walking.
Looking forwards to better weather and longer daylight, so that I can get out and do some 60 milers.
Longer if circumstances allow.
Mr's Zeds mother is frail and lives 90 miles away... They need to spend as much remaining time together as possible....You get that don't you?

More thoughts
Carbon racing/road bike, thin tyres, big gears.
Designed for these big Welsh hills.
My cottage is on a 20% incline/decline.
I rarely turn right when I exit my gate.
Need to warm up first.
I lived a great deal of my life before the internet.
And went to the cinema more often.
Running was my passion back then.
And music over TV.
I have a mobile device, not a smartphone.
I have no desire to constantly be in touch with stuff and people that it isn't necessary to be constantly in touch with.
I do see value in the internet.
And regard technology as an inevitable evolutionary phase.
Listening to Hiroshi Yoshimura now.

Sex rarely does.
In fact, it's known for procreation.

I bet he's mature enough to play with guns.
I think I read, of a gun nut club somewhere, that provided gun parties for kids.
And another incidence where a 9 year old girl was allowed to play with an Uzi and killed an instructor.
Such is the stupidity of law and adults, let alone the immaturity of 12 year olds with pro-active penises.

Naught is created nor destroyed, only transformed.
Yep I agree, but within the current limits of our understanding of everything...(Though this does not make the question of material existence go away).
Nonetheless, if matter is transformed from a developing state to an entropic state...Then what?
Does matter within the boundless eternity of time and space just separate and fizzle out.
Or.
Does the process of material development restart or reinitiate...If so, how?
GOD principle (Not a magic bloke) that develops as matter evolves.
Or.
An infinite by variable Space...Wherein matter once again reaches a point of finite confinement from where it is once again re energized.
An eternal sequence of universal bladders if you like.

Random thoughts on a theme of Lemming.
For me, reading has two purposes, informational necessity and relaxation.
I prefer factual books, because I dislike the contrivance of fiction.
I do have a more eclectic taste in visual entertainment, though I am picky.
Depending upon season, I will watch TV for between 0 and 3 hrs per day.
I never go to the cinema and never listen to the radio.
I find radios in cars particularly irksome.
Nonetheless if circumstance permits, I will occasionally don my headphones and listen to some music from You.Tube.
Usually, either prog-rock or ambient....Occasionally classical.
At the moment, the late Hiroshi Yoshimura is my musician of choice.
Online discussions sites, chiefly DebateArt and DebateIsland is where I can waste too much time.
Like this morning.
Today Mrs Zed is away, so I am completing the rebuilding and refurbishing of one of my bicycles, and will also work out for an hour on my exercise bike.
Other than that, it will be general daily chores...Modern day hunter gathering.
Hope that I haven't bored you with my random thoughts Lemming.

We've discussed this before.
Time and Space are eternal potential.
Stuff is that which occupies and develops.
Interim events are relative occurrences and development.
Relative to Time, Space and Stuff.
As a thinking organism caught up in universal events, I would suggest that the above is a basic understanding of the universe, rather than a belief.
Other than that, I speculate as to whether or not a universe is predestined, either by influence, or more so by physical law, to inevitably proceed in a certain way towards a conclusion.
Given that we think we exist and are aware of material development, especially in terms of technological progress, I therefore also speculate upon why this would be so.
By chance or for a purpose.
I then further speculate as to whether the unfulfillment of any role within a universal process would therefore lead to a universal failure.
For example, the inability to reinitiate from an entropic state to an ectropic state....The GOD principle if you like.
And of course, the thinking organism will inevitably wonder how matter can exist at all.

As I see it.
Potential is eternal.
Stuff begs an explanation.
And meta-space power or intelligence would require the same answers.
Interim events may or may not be necessary or purposeful.

Hi Ebuc.
Is the Universe eternally existent and occupied?
Or should I ask...Was the Universe always existent and occupied.
Maybe it wasn't but now is (potentially).
For me, it ceases to be a scientifically answerable question.
And becomes a mind game.

Of course, it's the persons body that decides to start producing gametes.
And when this occurs the body demands copulation.
But minds have chosen to try and overthink the body.
Would be great if we could overthink cancer.

Hey, Sidewalker.
Not many years ago at all, homosexuals were treated just as badly.
But now they are the heroes of our generation.
Here's a question for you.
Over hear the age of consent is sixteen.
So in terms of physiological maturity what's the difference between 15 years and 364 days, and 16 years?
One day of course, and during that one day a person becomes capable of making their own sexual choices, and will also become incorruptible.
What a difference a day makes,
Twenty four little hours.
La la la la la.

Interesting that crypto's value is always referred to in dollars.
Crypto will always have a relative value, doesn't matter what you call it.
So if one crypto is worth $60, and the transsexual prostitute charges $60 per hour.
Then I will owe them a twelfth of a crypto for my blow job.
What is a twelfth of a crypto called?
A dodecacrypto perhaps.

@Mall
What truth?
Is this another GOD based reference?
Facts are known.
Supposition is what it is.
And truth has a broader definition.
A GOD might or might not exist...This is a truth.
A bible is not a book of verifiable facts...This is another truth.
If a bloke turns up in a spaceship with the letters G O D emblazoned upon it, then we can perhaps move forwards with the truth.
Pregnant virgins and itinerant carpenters, just don't cut the factual mustard.

So you are joking about a serious topic.
Yes.
Because it's probably what most folk think but are too repressed to say.
I hasten to add that basic consensual heterosexuality and interim masturbation has always sufficed for me.

918 of 45 to 49 year old males, thought that 9 out of ten cats preferred Whiskas cat food.
Wow, that was one hell of a broad in depth study.
Why not survey 82 more and make it a round 1000.
And 45 to 49...Why not 47 to 51 or some other random 4 year period.
Such is Welsh academia I suppose.
Though the Welsh prefer shagging sheep.
And I hasten to add that with regard to such National proclivities, I am British/English residing in Wales.

Well, basically the whole GOD Jesus myth was so obviously based upon the human condition, several thousand years ago in one very small region of Planet Earth.
Why just make yourself known to a few Arabian blokes?
So, the ideology spread as human intelligence spread across the globe.
But GOD never seemed to take into account human intellectual and social evolution, which is odd considering it's omniscience.
For a GOD to do what it supposedly did, it must have been intellectually and technologically advanced...And yet it handed out it's social edict to Moses, chiselled onto lumps of rock.
And then there is the whole Mary Jesus palaver...Is that a sensible way for a supremely intelligent being to get a message across.
Nope, it's so obviously the product of human ignorance....As was the ten commandments story....As was and still is everything transcribed to later bibles.
None of which is not to say that the GOD hypothesis is not reasonable...Or as I refer to it, Interventionist Super-Intelligence...ISI.
Though the somewhat more logical ISI hypothesis, nonetheless comes with it's own set if imponderable questions.
The upside though, is that pointy buildings, singing hymns, praying and christmas are totally unnecessary...Rightly so in my opinion.
And the evolved emotional conditions you refer to, are just that.
I tend not to get too hung up on love, grief and meaning...The result of a pragmatic upbringing perhaps.

Girls should be asked to pledge under oath that they were gagging for it.
Would save a lot of hassle in the long run.
Boys should similarly be made to pledge that they were cumming in their pants with excitement.
