In normal times I am a guy who likes the give and take. These aren't normal times

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I speak for myself only. I have been on too many juries lately. Normally I cut people slack I have been known to say something I regretted. However I am weary of the supporters of a certain candidate competing to be the last Japanese soldier. The one who defended his Island 20 years after WW 2 was over. None of this shit is helpful. The people have spoken quite clearly. It is time to speak with one voice. The leading candidate was not my first choice, but the harshest thing I ever posted was that I don't drive the same car I did in 1980. For myself i am going to adopt a zero tolerance attitude. These aren't normal times and we don't have a normal opponent.

You know, if I could have my 1976 Corolla back again... ah... that was a sweet car.



That car could go anywhere, do anything, and take whatever you could throw at it.

Except rust. But, hey, that's what pop rivets, sheet metal, and Bondo are for!

But I knew when it was done. I want a unified voice. This I just found stuff has worn me out.
