The Message Forum is an ongoing dialogue among classmates. The goal is to encourage friendly interaction, including interaction among classmates who really didn't know each other. Experience on the site has revealed that certain topics tend to cause friction and hard feelings, especially politics and religion. 

Although politics and religion are not completely off-limits, classmates are asked to be positive in their posts and not to be too repetitive or allow a dialog to degenerate into an argument.

Those are some good ones.

Wayne Gary

Steve,

How is your leg comming along? I hope it has cought up to the rest of you.

David Cordell

Steve, I await your response to Wayne.

There's a very interesting YouTube video to see and hear of young Black citizens expressing how they feel about what is happening right now in America, concerning the perceived racism that many Progressives claim is epidemic and is ruining America, and that racism is in the DNA of Americans.

One quote from this video is this one: "If you want to see if a White Progressive understands the current mindset of thinking Black people, put him in a room with Black Conservatives."

Watch, if you dare:  [Youtube: Check Out These Deleted Scenes From the Film 'Uncle Tom']

There were numerous high school students speaking of their visit to the White House recently, meeting with President Trump, and sharing their thoughts about current times in the US as the election approaches, and sharing that the Democrats are trying to encourage them to vote Democratically.

You'll be surprised at what they say.

Wayne Gary

Steve, David

I have had the urge to kill something so on Saturday and yesterday I went to my range and killed a bunch of defenceless paper targets. Great fun. Pun intended.

Bob Davidson

Janalu,

Not saying that you do this, just thinking aloud:

I'm always a little amazed at how so many white people stereotype blacks -- as if they have no understanding that everything we humans do can be set out on a bell curve. Obviously some of the bell curves are steeper or flatter than others, humans vary hugely.

The other day I was with a client who is a retired Marine gunnery sergeant and he started talking about Black Lives Matter. I like the guy -- he has a forceful and funny personality, but if I said what he was saying, my guess is that I'd be ostracized from most of society for having totally politically incorrect views.

One point he made was that he has the same right as any other &%$#@ to think what he wants and no one has the right to tell him what he is because of his color and that it's demeaning to think that any individual is defined by his ethnicity, color, religion, or other characteristic.  (Being a bit of a smartass, I replied something like, "Except for being a Marine nco.") 

Steve Keene

Wayne and David,

Thanks for asking about my leg.  I used up all my antibiotics and I still have some swelling on top of my foot.  The rest of my leg is doing great.  I am trying to limit my sugar so that maybe the swelling will go down  Speaking of killing, Wayne, I am looking forward to the debate tonight.  I can see only three scenarios where Trump can win.

1.  Trump comes out and makes fun of Biden and belittles his obvious dementia or Alzheimers.

2.  Trump plays Mr. Nice Guy and asks Biden a few questions and lets him hang himself.

3.  Trump lets Biden talk for the whole 90 minutes and just stands there and smiles knowingly.

David Cordell

Bob D. - You didn't say what the Marine's response was, and it wasn't clear to me if he was black or white. I love black conservatives. They have to be really tough to put up with the guff they get. 

Janalu - did you mean to post a youtube link.

Steve - I can tell you know that Biden won. Past tense. The stories have already been written by the MSM. I won't watch. All it can do is make me angry or disappointed. I won't feel any better if Trump does well, and I will feel worse if Biden does well. 

By the way, Trump signs are being stolen in my neighborhood. One neighbor had three stolen before he finally decided to bring his sign into the house at night. Another neighbor caught some video from his Ring doorbell at 2 AM that showed a car pulling a trailer into which someone was tossing stolen signs.

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

David.

I put the YoTube link in brackets.  That's the best I can do when posting, as my skills are very limited.

If you wish, you could highlight those words in the brackets, and then my post makes more sense.

The Youtube video is some out takes from a movie that is now available.  It is entitled 'Uncle Tom', I believe, or something similar to that.  It is suppose to be a good one, but I have not seen it yet. I think it is a film people can purchase.

The sweet olive bush at my house is blooming again now, in this autumn weather.  It blooms in the spring too, and the strong, sweet fragrance is so nice!  I just love it, and hope to plant some more of these plants.  It is surprising to walk outside, and be hit with the wonderful scent.  It always makes me smile and want to stay out for a while.  I first learned of sweet olive when visiting southern Louisiana, as that area in the spring was filled with the smell---so enjoyable and lovely......

Wayne Gary

Janalu,

To link to a You tube do the following steps

while watching the video click on the share icon (arrow below the video) then hit copy.

Now go the your post here. put your message in then hit the "YouTube" button on the right end of the bottom format line. When the bar comes up on the screen hold down the "CTL" key and type V. 

That will put the youtube video in you message.

Give this a try.

Wayne Gary

Steve,

To help reduce your swelling if you are not doing this put on a compression type sock like a "copper-fit" sock. You can also buy compression socks call anti-imbalism sock.

Walmart has them in stock

Wayne Gary

Steve,

If you are not getting out I will be glad to make a road trip and stop by a Walmart and bring you a pair.

David Cordell

Here is one version of deleted scenes from "Uncle Tom."

David Cordell

Anyone want to offer an opinion about the debate?

Melody McNeil (Tarrillion)

Nope!

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

David,

I'll go ahead and jump in with a few thoughts and observations.

I thought the whole debate was too bombastic and at times, because the two opponents were talking over each other, with the moderator trying to break them up, it was hard to hear anything at all throughout.

I noticed when Trump came out on stage, he looked like a blank slate, more or less, just appearing to announce, "Okay, I'm here.  Let's get this over with."  And right away, he started to interrupt Biden and also talk over Wallace.  My husband and I said almost in unison,  "Hey Trump!  Settle down!  Don't act like a bully," but of course, just like many men I know, he was obviously upset over recent posting about his taxes, and mixed with everything else that gets thrown in his face constantly, he was in a fighting and arguing mood.

Biden surprised me by being able to stay relatively queued in, and was able to stay aware of the subjects at hand, although, at times, he didn't make too much sense with his statements.  He said at one point that the Green New Deal was not part of his platform, but we know that it IS part of what Bernie has insisted to definitely be in their platform.(What else is Biden unaware of?)  At one point, he said something about "that is not MY idea of what I want,"  which made me think that his party still has not told him about how his administration is going to run, in that, he doesn't seem to realize, evidently, that OTHERS are going to make the important decisions, not him.  He may be able to participate in the beginning for a while, but before long, he is going to be gently retired.... at least, that is the way I suspect it will go.

I thought Trump made some good points here and there, but I was hoping that he would NOT be hostile toward Biden or Wallace.  As we saw, it was not to be.  Hopefully, in the next debate, he will behave better.  He scares the snowflake people and he plays into the CNN narrative of being a bully, which women don't like.

Biden didn't want to acknowledge his son's business dealings, which I thought/think is a subject everyone wants to have explained, and which is a fair subject to discuss, because it involves the possible next president's life from the recent past few years.  Why can't we know of what the son, along with the father, had "set up" to benefit all the members of the Biden family, when it involved foreign countries and foreign money?  Didn't we just go through a two and a half year, very expensive ordeal about Trump's supposed involvement with a foreign country and foreign money arrangements?  Also, Trump's kids were investigated, right?

I felt sorry for Chris Wallace.  He must have been exhausted by the end of the fight, and probably had an awful headache from the tension.  Tonight was similar to watching a rehash of a civil war battle without the weapons blazing.

David Cordell

I saw snippets of the debate on the news. SOOOO glad I didn't watch.

Wayne Gary

David, Janalu

I watched just a few minutes of the debate.  When Trump mentioned the Dem platform on socialized medicine and the manafesto Biden said "I am the Party and there is no manafesto".  My take is Biden is throwing out the Dem platform for his own.

Steve Keene

Wayne,

No need to sock it to me, but thanks anyway.  I am forced to get around this week as my daughter is getting married this weekend and I have rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception on the agenda.  I am sure I am the designated greeter, toast maker and gift transporter of the event not to mention the financier.  I have to get a last minute final fit for a tux.  I wonder if I can rent two pairs of shoes and wear the larger size on the swollen foot.

Steve Keene

David,

To be fair, Biden exceeded the low bar I set for him.  Trump was too much of a bully and needs to tone it down for a more measured response in his next debate.  I am sure he was angry about the revelations that broke in the a.m. of how dishonest the Democrats were in trying to remove him from office.  He got Biden to abandon the Democrat platform on at least two issues which will anger the socialists.  He made some good points and Biden had to lie or refuse to directly answer questions several times.  Trump was evasive on a couple of issues himself.  I don't think anyone's vote changed after the event.  I don't like Chris Wallace, but he has a thankless job.  I would rather see a Tucker Carlson moderate the event.

David Cordell

Wayne,

My mother always said, "The president proposes; the Congress disposes."

A left-wing Congress will give him left-wing legislation, and he will sign all of it to burnish his reputation among his left wing peeps.

Steve,

Congrats on the upcoming nuptials. Hope your foot shrinks. If I were you, I would pay for the extra pair of shoes if they don't let you have them gratis. If you rent only larger shoes, the shoe on the smaller foot will feel like a clown shoe and you're more likely to trip.

Wayne Gary

Steve,

Good to hear you are doing better.  I would get the Copperfit socks and wear them at all times. They will help circulation and keep blood from settling in the leg.

Hope the wedding goes well.

Wayne Gary

David

I watched the clip of "Uncle Tom".  I remember how many times I have heard  Dems call people either "Oreo" or "Cookies"  meaning black on the outside and white on the inside. They have also refered to latinos as "Cocanuts"  meaning brown on the outside and white on the inside. I also remember when Tony Sanches was running for Gov of Texas he was cought telling a group of Latinos to "Vote their color".

When it comes to racisim the term African-American is very racist espically when refering to someone of multi-racial background like Obama. It acknoleges his father from Africa but ignores that is mother was Irish.  The Dallas news now has stopped using the term it now uses "Black"
