Parable of the Blind and Deaf.
Once upon a time there were two men.One was blind and the other was deaf and dumb.
( I am fully aware of my political incorrectness. I spare the terms visually impaired and speech and hearing impaired for real disable people with all due respect. )
Getting back to the story..
The deaf and the blind meet at a pub called CS on a daily basis for socializing.
Politics is their main topic of discussion, but their disabilities have limited them in many ways to understand the true nature of politics.
The blind man shouts from one side about the stuff he read only available with braille language made available to him by Fox.
The deaf and dumb can't hear what he says. He knows only things that had sign language translations by CNN. He vigorously argues with sign language from another corner. But the blind can't see.
Rest of the pub watch and watch and watch. ( SICK AND TIRED)
Some call for the bartender to throw them out.
Some ask them to shut up.
Most have avoided the pub altogether. (This is the sad part)
The moral of this story is.... who cares.
In honour of Biff and Harbal. I hope they will be free to blog again.
If I offended anyone I am sorry to say I am not sorry.

That is until the opposing views pile up, then the hypocrites complain about all the hate.
Good blog, Usha!
You may need to clean the windows on this blog quite often, people looking through them tend leave marks when they view
It's like a sport for some people. They cheer their team up and - for a moment - they ARE that team and they feel the connection and belonging to something bigger than themselves.
I think it's one of the reasons why political discussions are so popular and passionate.
Nice way you have put it.
I don't engage in anything other than laughable matters. I can't be bothered with people's anger and misery they have brought upon themselves. I usually ignore all of it.
Good to see you around.
But come on. People like us who don't do club hopping are stuck here in eternal hell.
I don't have to find a man for that right?
Greetings to all!
I find it funny when the deaf and the dumb makes fun of the blindness of the blind.
But, using Z's example, it is the regular people at the bar, the oneswho go to the barman to complain about the troublemakers, are the ones who get thrown out. Not the troublemakers.
I have practically given up drinking in that particular bar anyway.
The clientele has deteriorated.
And I'm still dying to know what happened. I was not here at the time.
It only comes to show that you miss all the action if you stay away.
I miss many other bloggers too. Bloody in particular. I hope she wins whatever the public office she is contesting for.
Then there was Rogue. Non smoker. Angel. Ian. Scotty. Seri. Many of them. Those were the days. Even snooks. So, to those who kept these walls lively grateful for all the smiles laughs and banter.
Good Catfoot showed his face after a long absence.
I have some data on MD. I don't think CS will go down any soon. I am sad that good bloggers are disappearing. We are left with political counter blogs. That's what I don't get.
Why can't a Republican go and fight his case in a democratic blog like civilized adult humans do without getting personal ? That is my point.
Anyway we are lucky to have you, Imp, and few others here. You two write nice blogs. Most days I read without logging in. So I might not comment always. But I enjoy your blogs.
One was blind and the other was deaf and dumb.
We either stay and adapt or we leave, too...
Right Molly.....I mean Bella.
I have never had another profile.
I should say they DO. And I submit as evidence...
Biff challenged the mods. Profile......Deleted
End of story.
You go, girl!
Eh, now what does pair-a-b@lls have to do with anything?
Kinda obvious, I'd say
Good points, Usha & I hope you're right :thumbs 2:
"Imagine if China's 1.3 billion got blogging on CS."
"If" is the biggest little word in the language.
IF...frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts
Thank you for your compliments.
I'm not a native English speaker and my English is full of mistakes. Being mistaken and mixed with a native English speaker is really rare flattery. I've never thought that my English is so good.
As I previously said, I play some games online and - Americans are the ones who pay the most. The games are alive because Americans pay a lot of money for playing and most of that money is completely unnecessarily spent on hoarding, competing and greed. The games tried to be international at first and although they do have many players from other countries - those players simply don't spend so much as Americans. So they got American-oriented.
In one of the games - the last week was all about American's holiday July 4th. As you can imagine, the rest of the world is not at least interested in that American holiday and many have never even heard of it, but we adapted and patiently waited until Americans finished waving with their flags and adoring their country so we could continue playing normally. After all - they pay for all of us to play...
I know that American people are generally badly-informed about the rest of the planet, hardly know and even less care about anything except their own country and think that they are loved all over the world, that everyone envies them and wants to come to their country, etc, etc. Rather ignorant people. But, then, they are rich and they spend a lot so ... everyone tolerates them. What can one do?
I don't come often - I haven't been here for 2 months - was too busy and I keep my profile hidden, because I cannot deal with messages at the moment. But I enjoy to drop by from time to time, although I enjoy forums more. There's nothing much to read on blogs anyway.
Stay well and enjoy!
So the way I see it, by not by not bothering to see right or wrong, and speak out about it would make a person like that deaf, dumb & blind.
Incessant, redundant, slanted, political blather: Does it belong on a dating site?
You'd have an easier time trying to convince me that the Jerry Springer show is informative or entertaining and belongs on PBS.
Anyways
You deserve it.

which part of this statement you didn't understand ? I have reserved my respect for real disabled people. Haven't I ? So please be aware that I know disabled people see and hear more than the able bodied people.
I was not talking about real disabilities.
I need a distraction from real world time to time. This is where I always came because I don't do any other social media. Here is always away from everyone and everything. There was always something to read. Something to laugh and something to watch.
Good to see you Ek. Take care!
