Etiquette

DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Too much time on my hands

How many of YOU have too much time on YOUR hands?

Ok, so what is THIS thread about. It's about time on my hands and what is occupying my mind.

Let me be specific:

I find myself at home today with a winter bug of some sort, not feeling well, so got.................. time on my hands.

So, had my cuppa, turned on the news. Channel A - Trump. Channel B - Trump. Channel C - the other news dominating the Canadian news networks - the plane crash at Toronto airport, after that, guess what? Trump.

As if there were NO OTHER NEWS in the world except for Trump this and Trump that.

Example:

Florida man shot Israeli visitors thinking they were Palestinians

https://www.reuters.com/world/florida-man-shot-israeli-visitors-thinking-they-were-palestinians-police-say-2025-02-17/

Won't find THAT story on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBC, Global, BBC, NBC, CBS.

So, with all this time on my hands, what should I do with myself today?

Oh, I know, pop onto Germaine's and bitch how we are spending too much time thinking about Trump, or watching what he is up to 24/7............ while not realizing the irony of doing so.
