no, it actually doesn't.

Has anyone used the word 'honking' yet?

Is your drain blocked AGAIN, then?

Not to worry, soon enough the smartphones will be operating their idiots.

I never met a single person named Bovril in my 4 months there. Bloody liar!

Feels like one for the Unpopular Opinions thread, this.... I have got more on the rails the older I have got, and none of it was anything to do with settling down or family - in fact, it was down to repairing the remnants left by the awful family unit I was subjected to as a child.

Yes, I was invited to do a PG course there, induced by dollars. Bad mistake by me, it wasn't the right time or place for me.

This isn't confined to Trump. The tentacles of this movement are much farther reaching, much darker and much more powerful than any one government.

It was in 1995, I was studying at MSU. I lived on campus so my exposure to regular people was limited, but I think it's fair to say it was ultra-conservative, old-fashioned and at that time, gay people could not admit they were gay - no idea if it is still like that.

It is pure schoolyard bully rules - they apply to those we don't like, but never to me and my gang. Much like those who enjoy the 'It's a free country, I'll say what I like' whilst wishing to deny that right to anyone who happens to disagree. This is how dictators work.

I lived there for 4 months. It was cold.

Take care and stay humane to yourself.

Wow, amazing to get that far. All the best...

I've always found people of a certain political persuasion to have very thin skin when it comes to having their true motivations challenged.

My impression is that it is taken as insinuating that we are all subject to malign influence, and some people don't like to admit or think about that possibility.

Of Urban really, but I'm pleased to hear that of you too.

Sadly, what I said last has been deemed beyond the pale, which is rather telling.

Was wondering the same...

For me, it is as much as the movement behind him - the deliberate dissemination of nonsense so nobody knows the truth anymore, the quite obvious encouragement of the great unwashed to rise up violently, the determination to dismantle democracy everywhere, not just in the USA.... one does not need to look very far to see the normalisation of appalling views and the acceptance into the mainstream of attitudes which are, not to put too fine a point on it, fascistic.

If (but I greatly fear when) Trump gets in, then we're all in deep doo-doo, in my opinion.

I fancy I am more self-knowing than he is, and certainly am more able to poke fun at myself.

You called?

No, it never ceases to amaze me.

What surprises me is how many of you seem confident that because you personally believe he should be sacked, that a) everyone will/must agree with you, and that b) the board will act so soon.

Wouldn't it be rather quiet, but animated?
