I mean this is an unfair point, there are many causes and charities I believe in and think should be supported as well, I can't drain myself for them, but I do what I can.


I agree with most of your points, my only objection was the use of the terms "at all costs". "At all costs" would include sacrificing all of our lives to stop it and very few people would be willing. A full blown nuclear war with total annihilation of the planet would stop Putin but most would not agree to that.

I was thinking while watching that, yeah, our malls have a lot of stores shut too. But it's more to do with changing economic habits of shoppers.

I don't know that I have been in a shopping mall in the last 10 years.

The last time I was in the mall was about the year 2000 because my wife dragged me there. There's nothing there I want. If I can't find it at Walmart or Home Depot it does not exist for me. Or Amazon

My last time was probably to go to Kay Jewelers. My daughter worked there.

Every time I've been to a mall in my life there's usually two kinds of people there. Morbidly obese women and rowdy teenagers. I do not fit into that demographic. Go into Home Depot oh, there I am right at home. I do not believe I've ever seen an obese woman or a teenager in Home Depot. My wife and her sisters go there because of the food court. I wouldn't eat that crap if you paid for it and gave me $10 on the side.

Oh, but that is just sooooo precious...

You really just miss the point. He is talking about who you see there not some kind of policy. Really, you need to get up to speed and get what is being communicated.

I forget if it is you or someone else who claimed they never saw a "gay area" listed on a map when I talked about known gay hangouts but the same thing then as here. Do you actually think EB meant that THD has a security guard not letting some people in?

That's what I thought, and I responded accordingly.

For those of us living in the real world, Home Depot does in fact have quite a lot of teens and obese people passing through their doors, at least that I've seen.

But then I live in the suburbs of a city, not in a cave in the country; maybe the locals there whack all teens and all the obese to thin the herd in order to MAGA?
