Who is to blame?   When will it improve in the future, if it does at all?   What are some ways things can be improved?   Does all this stuff affect you in a major way?

For American members of this forum especially, do you feel war with Russia is a worthy risk or should we leave the situation with The Ukraine alone?   Well, Russia doesn't want an unfriendly government nearby.  However, the situation is very hypocritical because obviously the USA did the Mexican...

RE: Do you build websites to sell? It would be cool to get into that hobby.  Nonetheless, I think it would be hard to find a market from what I could do.  Well, I could build up some mobile friendly forums on free forum software.   However, could I make and sell enough to even get $500 a...

RE: D you have a forum? I have a music lesson forum.  It's a lot of fun and keeps me engaged in learning music.  I also have a large social media following that, well, I admit I paid for, but that's not saying I don't have excellent material to show them.

RE: Free hosted forums I've used a free forum service using phpBB for a short time.  It is a new one that was coming out of the ForumPromotion.net scene.   Anyway, i can see why people would want a well-functioning forum they don't have to pay for, even at the expense of having the services'...

RE: Free or Premium Software? If I had to redo things, I wouldn't pick premium software.  However, at the moment I have so many XenForo licenses.   Well, the reason for my decision is due to the fact that phpBB is now totally mobile compliant with all themes.  Also, that might be true with...

The Washington Redskins were recently renamed The Washington Commanders, but fans hate the name which they claim is weak.    Anyway, before then, they were called "The Washington Football Team", a name which people even said was better than Commanders, though, worse than Redskins. Anyway, maybe...

RE: Album duds to classics Some music grows on you with time.  You might have life experiences and then finally "You hear the blues.", so to speak.   I think one thing that helps me appreciate music is not over listening to it.   In that case, when you finally hear it again, it seems very fresh...

RE: Awesome Covers of Songs James's Taylors cover of "Handyman" and Earth Wind and Fire's cover of the Beatle's "Got to Get You into My Life" simply blow out the originals.  Now, some other covers aren't any worse than the originals.  Some covers are way worse.

RE: What's your favourite instrument? When it comes to playing, I like drums the best, followed by guitar.   However, when it comes to listening, I like several instruments equally.    I can't really think of an instrument I don't like to listen to.   Note: some instruments I simply gave up on...

RE: What music makes you cringe? I don't have a particular genre.   However, certain songs are just absolutely annoying like - Shiny Happy People (REM) with the lyrics (The instrumental riff is actually really good.) and Celine Dion's theme to Titantic and Dolly Parton's (I will Always Love...

RE: Thoughts on Polyamory or open Relationships? I suppose it would depend on the people involved.   Well, I've heard stories of rich older men who had erectile dysfunction and would let other men bang their wives.   Also, history has told the stories of several men with successful harems.   ...

Punk rock emerged in the mid-70s to combat what they felt was the softening and elitism of what was the current rock.   The punks had short hair or spiked hair when all the bands had long hair and even people generally had long hair at the time.   They favored aggressive music with less...

I don't like the snowflake culture of being oversensitive and banning "The Dukes of Hazzard" lol.  Nonetheless, why should taxpayers have to pay for monuments - basically honoring a government that fought for slavery?   There is definitely a good reason why people, African American taxpayers...

RE: Stoicism and Primadonna Culture I don't really care for social media posters who post personal advice on "how to be" most of the time.  Nonetheless, I don't have to follow such people. Here is a meme: "I told you the last time.  I don't care what people think.  Don't you catch the hint? ...

RE: Why do extremists hate Jews so much? It's a scapegoat. It's also possibly very useful for governments who cannot solve internal or external problems in their nations.  Anyway, anti-Americanism and demonization of the poor by the rich seems similar.

RE: American Revolution I can't stand how some southerners try to compare the Civil War to the Revolutionary one.    The stain of slavery was simply too smacked on the South to make the comparison.  I mean, even Jeff Davis explicitly stated the government backed racism.

RE: What's wrong with Biden? The Democrats loyalty to environmentalism is driving up gas prices in the US - because it hurts US energy independence.   This policy is fine for the rich and some of the middle class maybe, but it hits the poor and others hard.  I don't think Biden and the...

RE: Money Talks - The Problem with Capitalism The ones with money seem to want to blame the poor, rather than face their own faults.   However, the poor are an easy target - cause many are afflicted with laziness, drug use, criminality etc.   Nonetheless. it's still a scapegoat so the...

RE: Who do you think is the United States top 2 enemies? I don't think Japan is an enemy of the US.  In fact, Japan didn't want war against the US in the 40s.   However, they were highly fearful of China I believe cause the nation has so many people and is so close.  When the US got behind China...
