RE: why dont dogs like me

If you want to get a cat to attack you, stare into its eyes, this is true for all cats, domestic to a lion.

Dogs are usually happy to give eye contact, especially when they want something.

RE: If the Government says you don’t need something......

Logically the opposite must be true, so when the Government says "You need Trump" I guess that means get rid of him

RE: No proof of collusion

Quite right, I wouldn't call Trump a moron to his face.














I would say "You are a fraud and liar, who seems intent to bring the USA down to a moronic level"

RE: No proof of collusion

It would appear you cannot understand a post written in English, so in child simple terms.

You said "He refuses to accept that we, the people that voted for him" "We the people" were a minority, that was changed by the electoral college, the greatest number of voters voted against Trump.

You then said "actually have credibility in knowing who can make our country great", insinuating that those who voted against trump had no credibility.

understand now?

Is Trump a moron? By the definition from the Oxford dictionary, absolutely, he fits that term to a "T".

Have I lied? Not once, I have been polite and to the point. Can the same be said about others? Sadly not!

RE: No proof of collusion

I remember him from Obama's original election, but no way was he a friend, way too extreme for my taste, I don't recall him posting during the Trump/Clinton election, but quite possible I missed his posts.

RE: No proof of collusion

Woken up from your afternoon nap? For someone who tries to put down anyone who dares to disagree with your opinions, you really need to actually read posts, then you may, just may, be successful in your putdowns

First: I fully understand the role played by the electoral college, it is just a way to select a leader, had you read the other posts you would have gleaned that the poster alluded that more people voted for Trump, that is a verifiable lie.

Second: I have no idea to whom you are referring, the only friends I have in Scandinavia are family and work colleagues, none of them are members of CS as far as I am aware.

Trying to mislead is just as bad as lying in my opinion, and you are very very good at misleading.

RE: No proof of collusion

Happy to give English lessons, but rarely free
Not an insult, I was trying to help, I didn't realise the poster had assumed claim and statement had the same meaning, someone with a reasonable grasp of English would have understood that, being an English teacher, I wanted to help, so posted the definition.

Was I surprised as one poster suggested, yes I was Ias I couldn't believe that so many people were that gullible that they would fall for all the lies and deceit spouted by Trump and his fervent supporters, neither did most of the world, we gave credence to the level of intelligence of the population in the USA, we were ll sadly mistaken.

You, on the other hand, assume that everyone in the USA voted for Trump, that is very wrong, as the majority voted against him, the electoral college changed that, or are you suggesting that everyone who voted against Trump had NO credibility? If so that is unbelievably condescending to those who allowed you to take their countries citizenship.

RE: No proof of collusion

Ah this explains a lot, I didn't realise English was not your first language, my apologies.

Hope this helps in your understanding the difference between "claim" and "statement"

RE: No proof of collusion

you used my name, directed your comments specifically at me nothing to do with the original post.
"Because he's not here I'm not sure what to call him, maybe just an idiot?" was directed at me.
Can I suggest you read a book on debating, it may make it clearer for you.

RE: Funny ! All men in Ireland and Malta are in the CS

No maybe about it, women cheat just as much as men, but the difference is men get on with their lives, whereas women like to make a lifelong drama out of it. IMO.

RE: No proof of collusion

Then why do you consistently comment on my posts?
I dislike Trump, I think he is a fool who will drag the USA down to the same level as his tacky hotels, while lining his own pocket.
Having an opinion does not make that person stupid, it just means they have an opinion But I wouldn't expect everyone to understand that.

I have never "Claimed" I am British living in China, I have stated categorically that I am British living and working in China, maybe you misunderstood.

RE: No proof of collusion

You cannot see that each time you attack the poster rather than the posts, it makes my position stronger and your credibility goes out of the window.

That very fact makes your argument weak, so you may call me Rizlared

RE: No proof of collusion

So unless some actual proof is put forward, innocent until proven guilty, although that is a hard concept for right-wing extremists, it is still a part of the American legal system.

Put up or shut up comes to mind.

RE: The face of America

Google is a place to start or Bing or any search engine, you can choose, the info on Obama is huge, Trump's expenses are like his tax returns, not for public viewing But some journalists have been able to find some info, as I posted earlier.

RE: The face of America

"Trump’s college background, in fact, is often his key piece of evidence for his intellectual superiority. But there’s less here than meets the eye. Trump did graduate from the Wharton School of business at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League college. But Trump did not get an MBA from Wharton; he has a much less prestigious undergraduate degree. He was a transfer student who arrived at Wharton after two years at Fordham University, which U.S. News & World Report currently ranks 66th among national universities. (Besides, simply going to an Ivy League school doesn’t prove you’re a genius.)

Gwenda Blair, in her 2001 book “The Trumps,” said that Trump’s grades at Fordham were just “respectable” and that he got into Wharton mainly because he had an interview with an admissions officer who had been a high school classmate of his older brother. And Wharton’s admissions team surely knew that Trump was from one of New York’s wealthiest families.

Ted Cruz could be disqualified. GOP, is that worth the risk?
For years, numerous media reports said Trump graduated first in his class from Wharton, but that’s wrong. The 1968 commencement program does not list him as graduating with any sort of honors. In fact, The Boston Globe reported that he barely made an impression at all: “His former classmates said he seemed a student who spoke up a lot but rarely shined in class, who barely participated in campus activities, shunned fraternity parties.”"
So not such a great student, especially for a man who tells the world how "smart" he is

RE: The face of America

The statistics quoted are for the frequent trips to his Florida hotel, golf excursions and for security for his wife and family. You do realise that every time trump uses his own hotel, you are not just paying for him, but paying directly into his pocket. Trump is laughing at those who elected him all the way to the bank, but some many just pretend it is okay, the same ones who created such a fuss over the minuscule amount Obama cost. And which DIDN"T line his pockets!!!
Two faced?

RE: No proof of collusion

You underestimate the power of media, especially social media like facebook, even CS converted some to vote for Trump because they believed the lies being spread about Obama and Clinton.

Look how fast one particular member disappeared as soon as Trump took office, his work was done and some idiots actually believed his lies.

RE: The face of America

From International Business Times
"If Trump's cost of travel stays consistent throughout his entire presidency, he is set to outpace Obama by a long shot. If he stays in office for one term, his travel costs could reach $480 million. A second term could see that price tag skyrocketing to $960 million. In comparison, Obama's travel cost hit a mere $97 million throughout his eight years in the White House."

RE: What truly turns you off - Part 2

Guess that statement has scuppered your chances on CS

RE: No proof of collusion

Knowing and proving are two different things, now they have proof the Russians affected the election outcome, they can spend time proving if any collusion was made with those Russians.

But at least the world knows that Trump only won due to Russian interference.

RE: England Vs Columbia

RE: Women and men....legal age to marry....

22 for boys, 20 for girls
The one child rule was relaxed a long time ago, but in some cities the recommendation is one child as the population is too large to sustain, in the poorer provinces parents can have 3-4 children, especially if the first 1,2,3 is a girl, as the tradition in China is that the son looks after his parents when they can no longer work.

RE: Women and men....legal age to marry....

From Wiki
"Unlike most Western countries, 19 of the U.S. states do not have a legal minimum age of marriage. Individuals aged 18 have the ability to marry in U.S. states except Nebraska (19) and Mississippi (21). In addition, all states, except Delaware and New Jersey, allow minors to marry in certain circumstances, such as parental consent, judicial consent, pregnancy, or a combination of these situations. Most states allow parties aged 16 and 17 to marry with parental consent alone. In most states, children under 16 can be married too. In the 31 states which have an absolute minimum age set by statute, this age varies between 14 and 18, while in 19 states there is no statutory minimum age if other legal conditions are met. Although in such states there is no set minimum age by statute, the traditional common law minimum age is 14 for boys and 12 for girls - ages which have been confirmed by case law in some states. Over the past 15 years, more than 200,000 minors married in US, and in Tennessee girls as young as 10 were married in 2001, before the state finally set a minimum age of 17 in 2018."

RE: Independence Day USA 2018

Only in the US, the rest of the world just breath a sigh of relief.

RE: England Vs Columbia

Easy to speculate in retrospect.
So are the USA through too?


Oh silly me, they didn't qualify for the world cup

RE: Some say that love is not a feeling you feel....

Love is an emotion, whether we have control over it is debatable, as for a choice, seems unlikely unless most people make bad choices.

RE: Opinionated - We don't have a shortage on Cs....

Exactly

RE: Opinionated - We don't have a shortage on Cs....

Problem is, those who post the most threads are also the most opinionated.
