  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    From badgolferman@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 24 17:00:06 2022
    Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it.

    Even though we often squabble here I hope all of you have a pleasant day
    with your family and friends.

    As long as the family gathering doesn't involve Android versus iOS
    discussions and arguments!

    according to one of trump's lawyers, it's unconstitutional to discuss
    politics at thanksgiving. yes, she really said that.

    apparently, law school is nowhere near as difficult as previously
    thought.

    Agreed. Even with the "squabbling", most of us are good people inside.

    When/if we agree, we say so, since we're reasonable adults, and when/if we disagree, we explain why (without lying about it) because we're should all strive to be well educated rational logically sensible good-hearted people.

    None of us disagrees on the facts (only fools do that); but we may often
    and quite naturally disagree on assessments of facts as adults tend to
    weigh different factors differently - so assessments will always differ.

    While I know too much history to believe it was/is/should-be "happy" for indigenous Americans, and I know too much to believe the "Pilgrims" were tolerant of, shall we say, more liberal attitudes on life, the overall
    concept of F-A-M-I-L-Y for Thanksgiving (plus football & parades!) is a wonderful Anglo-Saxon-Franco-Germanic-Italic-Hispanic-Asian-African
    American tradition.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving, nospam!

    While both Steve and I have degrees in electrical engineering (which _is_ difficult) and while I'm sure law school is difficult, the fact that Rudy Guiliani has (well, had) a law degree kind of bolsters your feelings.

    We both agree, most likely, Trump & Guiliani are buffoons, and, luckily,
    all rational reasonable people would tend to agree with that assessment.

    For example... (speaking of law school) ...
    *Court Suspends Giuliani's Law License, Citing Trump Election Lies*
    <https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/nyregion/giuliani-law-license-suspended-trump.html>
    "The former mayor of New York, once the top federal prosecutor
    in Manhattan, is temporarily barred from practicing law
    in the state and faces possible disbarment."

    The problem with these types of sleazy lawyers is the same, as I see it, as
    the same problem with Apple's sleazy marketing maneuvers - which is that
    they depend on people being uneducated and ignorant enough to believe their unendingly brazen lies.

    1. People here should all agree on the facts
    (facts are funny that way)
    2. But people here can rationally disagree on the assessment of fact
    (people are funny that way)

    The disagreement shouldn't be on the facts but on the _weight_ that people
    put on those facts (as only a fool disagrees with the facts).

    We should all be able to get along, even if we disagree on assessments.

    But the one thing we can agree on, let's hope, is badgolferman's wishes of
    *Happy Thanksgiving*

    this newsgroup want to do just that - which is unreasonable of them IMHO.
