Of course they are. there are 200 million people in USA who are working hard every day. Do you know what percentage of them are millionaires?


A much larger percentage of those "working hard" are millionaires than those who become a millionaire by "waiting".


Most of them can get married too, I think the best approach to becoming a millionaire and meeting women involves putting down the Cheetos and actually getting up off the couch.

In 40-60 years you will be old, and if prices grow 40x, then a million dollars will be worth about $25,000.

Gold generally beats inflation. In fact, in past year time, gold has even beat stock market investments, bitcoin and everything else except silver and land.


There you go, a plan to become a millionaire without working for it.


I guess all those people working hard to be successful are just suckers.


You should be a motivational speaker, "To become a millionaire, just wait".

Sidewalker
What is your plan to become a millionaire.

My plain to become a millionaire consists in hope that gold, silver and land skyrocket in value in next 40 to 60 years, so after 60 years, gold, silver and land are worth at least 40x more.

It is a very long term investment plan, but yeah, miracles can happen and historical probability is on my side. Gold and silver already doubled in value in past few years. So I keep buying more gold, silver and even a bit of crypto because I want to be a millionaire and that seems like a straight path, tho crypto is less reliable.

Because I am young, I can do long term investments.


In 40-60 years you will be old, and if prices grow 40x, then a million dollars will be worth about $25,000....I doubt a lot of women will be lining up to marry an old guy to get his $25,000.





Sidewalker
I cant "choose to marry". Its not a choice. Its agreement between two people, not choice of one person.


Yes, if you want to get marries, you will have to find someone that wants to marry you.


In other words, you need to stick with AI girlfriends, because you will never get married

Donald Trump’s personal war, 

blah, blah, blah.
"War" is not, legally, a generic term. It has very specific definition. We euphemistically speak of "war" when military conflicts occur, but, relative to the law of the United States, specifically, only Congress declares "war." All wars are military conflicts, but the reverse is not true. Not a single military conflict in which the US has engaged since WWII has been a "war," including not Midnight Hammer of 2025, and the current Epic Fury both against Iran, is legally called a war.


So, you are saying that when Trump has repeatedly claimed that he has "ended 7 wars" since he took office, he is just telling another bald-faced lie.










Sidewalker
Didn't Iran declare the elimination of your country 47 years ago? I don't recall Iran consulting your Congress to do so...

Didn't stop Iran from killing your US troops either.


You don't understand, this is a military attempt to change the ruling regime, you know, like what we did in Afghanistan.


In Afghanistan, the goal was to remove the Taliban, 20 years later, after over 4,000 Americans were killed and over 20,000 were wounded, and we had spent over 2 trillion dollars, the Taliban was in charge.


But this time there is the concept of a plan, which Trump has stated succinctly as "Iran protestors should overthrow the government". So, as soon as the protestors defeat the Iranian military, this will be a successful conflict.


It is presumed that the victorious protestors will replace the regime with a democracy, and they will need a constitution for that. Trump has already told them they can have ours since we aren't using it anymore.



Sidewalker
The Constitution does not contain every clause of U.S. law blah blah blah,

There are five primary "rules of thumb to live by" which are an important guide to success in life, they are:

  1. Never try to eat anything larger than your head.
  2. Never play poker with a guy named after a city.
  3. Don't tug on Superman's cape, don't spit into the wind, don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger, and don't mess around with Jim
  4. When someone claims to be an expert because they wrote a book on the subject, if the book was published at Kinko's, they aren't really an expert.
  5. Never take legal advice from a guy named Fauxlaw, Fakelaw, Liarlaw, or Fraudlaw.


Despite Fauxlaw's blah blah blah, the actual fact of the matter is that the US Constitution is very explicit about the separation of war powers, and yes, Article II, Section 2 says the President serves as the Commander in Chief of the military. But the reason that is labelled Article II is that right before that, what Fauxlaw missed is an Article I that should be read also. Article I, Section 8 give congress sole power to declare war, raise and support armies, make rules for the military, and "call forth the Militia".


Consequently, because the president acted unilaterally and lawlessly — without congressional authorization and absent any imminent threat to the United States, the current war in the Middle East is unconstitutional and illegal.


Unfortunately, the legality of the war is irrelevant because Trump also has the best Supreme Court money can buy, and his Supreme Court has granted President Trump absolute immunity for actions within his core constitutional powers and presumptive immunity for all official acts. His Supreme Court has therefore granted Trump full authority to ignore the law and the Constitution with its constitutional checks and balances, allowing him to implement his promised authoritative regime and dictatorship. Consequently, Trump has repurposed the Constitution and now uses it for toilet paper.


As with all of Fauxlaw’s deceptive misrepresentations, another important rule of thumb is to “watch his eyes because his feets are dancing” and just ignore the MAGA lies he tells.


In the end, the current war in the Middle East is not supported by the Constitution, Congress, or the American people, consequently, it is not actually this country’s war, it is Donald Trump’s personal war, utilizing Donald Trump’s personal military, authorized by Donald Trump’s personal Supreme Court.

Well "disease" is a broad umbrella.

And mental health is undoubtedly a disease of the mind.

And it would be unethical for a physician to say otherwise.

Methinks that you and Bro were cast in the same mould.

Is he from the electric shock, ice baths and lock them away school of medicine?


Fauxlaw's brother graduated from Trump University with a degree in "Doctoring", his specialty is "Bloodletting and Leeches".

Jesus ,the bible says , was resurrected a flesh and blood man.

So how did Jesus enter the closed and locked room?

 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”  After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. John 20:19-20. NIV
Ok. How did our boy wonder achieve this feat?


Stephen, Stephen, Stephen, allow me to try to explain it to you.


If true intelligence involves the ability to view and understanding widely different things from multiple different perspectives, an aptitude for grasping a wide range of truths, relationships, and meanings, and the capacity for abstract and symbolic thought, then it follows logically that your repeated insistence that the Bible cannot be understood literally, is an unintelligent claim.


The simple fact is, well over two billion people have been graced with a mind that can grasp the intellectual constructs of the symbolism of Christian spirituality and transcendence, and we understand. You are repeatedly telling us that you are intellectually incapable of understanding such things, which is fine, but it’s not your fault and consequently, there is no reason to be so angry about it all the time.


If you just aren’t intellectually capable of grasping the symbolism of the story that despite the fact that the apostles had locked the door of faith out of fear and doubt, they had an experience of Christ that overcame their fear and doubt, then I just don’t think anyone can dumb it down far enough for you to understand.


There is no reason for you to always get lost in the pettiness and divisiveness of Biblical detail, here is everything a person of your diminished cognitive aptitude really needs to know.


First, the Bible is a book of widely different perspectives utilizing many different literary genres, including history and prophecy, poetry and love songs, allegories and parables, none of which is conducive to any kind of "literal" translation. Try to understand that the authors of the New Testament were not detached biographers or historians, they were writing about their religious experience of Jesus years after his death.

It doesn’t matter that you can’t grasp the symbolic significance of spiritual things like the Incarnation or the Resurrection. All you really need to know is that the things Jesus did and said caused His contemporaries to think of Him in completely new dimensions and that there was something to this man's life that caused those who knew it best to reach the conclusion that it was divine in nature.


Your divisive contentions about whether or not he actually rose from the grave in bodily form just do not matter to me. It is enough for me to know that his spirit jumped dramatically to life after his death and that because of this he gave millions and millions of people hope that they never had before.


Please understand, it’s not my intent to denigrate people who have as low an intellectual capacity as you, and for you and others like you, denigrate mean “put down”.

Maybe, and maybe not.
It's not as if US and Iran interactions have only 'suddenly happened.
Been going on for years.


Yes, it has been going on for years and when it comes to what Donald Trump is thinking, accusations are confessions.


In 2011, 12, and 13, he repeatedly insisted that President Barack Obama was going to start a war with Iran in order to help his political prospects, in order to get re-elected. Of course he was wrong, Obama did not start a war with Iran, Trump had no insight into Obama’s mind, all he was really telling us is what He would do if he were President. Well, now he is President, and he’s facing political disaster in this year’s elections, and he has already confessed that he believes that starting a way with Iran would have a positive political effect domestically, and he desperately needs to do something about his disastrous polls and the coming Blue Tsunami.


Trump doesn’t comprehend the intricacies of Middle Eastern politics, his staff doesn’t either, he doesn’t even care about it, what he does know and care about is domestic politics. Trump isn't thinking about how bombing Iran will affect Iran, as always, he's only thinking about how it will affect him,


Trump isn’t playing four-dimensional chess here; it’s just Trump being Trump.


Sidewalker

You're focused on Iran, strategically, the war has little to do with Iran, the primary strategic goals are threefold:


1) Control the news cycle, specifically, distract attention from the Epstein fiasco.

2) Allow Trump to escalate his crackdown on dissent.

3) Further consolidate power within the executive branch, subjugate congressional authority.


His Supreme Court immunized the President from criminal charges for official misconduct, which allows him to ignore the law in the process of

establishing an autocracy. Attacking Iran is simply a means to an end, what happens in Iran is relatively inconsequential to Trump and his agenda.

Sidewalker

Fauxlaw has a serious case of WDS, "Woke Derangement Syndrome".


That's why he gets so upset about things that nobody else gives a shit about.


Some LGBTQ people like the Artemis name for the 2028 moon landing program and....waah waah waah.


How does he know that, why does he care, and the big question, why on Earth does he think anyone here would give a shit.

What Faith Is

That is hoax Christianity aka Protestantism.

They hoaxed what works with faith meant and mutated it into sola fide.


A Christian faith that is threatened by other denominal understandings is a very weak faith.

So just in the interests of research, how hirsute or not are your lower nooks and crannies


There's a good chance that you are the only person to actually use the word "hirsute" in the last decade.

My chickens are probably happiest chickens in the world. they free range for like almost entire day now, go to sleep when they want, eat plenty, get treats, and the eggs I take from them arent fertile, so they would never actually become chicks even if I didnt take them.

I also dont do slaughter. Mine is a vegetarian farm. I dont produce meat. I have one chicken which I know for sure doesnt lay any eggs at all, but I still keep it.

the only problems my chicken face are predators from the sky. I have fence to prevent foxes and dogs, but I cant fence the sky, and I cant keep chickens in cage either. I used to have small area which was fenced on all sides, even up, but chickens prefer going outside.


Sounds like chicken prison.

I read further about it, there were several wrestling bears at the time, Ted retired around the time he was supposed to come to town. Not sure which one I was scheduled to wrestle. I choose to think it was Terrible Ted and he retired because he was afraid of me.


Isnt that animal abuse?


Yeah, it does sound like animal abuse to defang and declaw a bear, but teaching one to wrestle or dance, nothing wrongs with that.


We accept an awful lot of animal abuse, the ones we eat, the ones we hunt for sport, and the ones we keep as pets. I disapprove of animal abuse but I also enjoy eating them daily, I have the world's most spoiled and loved dog, he's a Weimaraner with a stub tail, which means somebody abused him by cutting off his tail when he was a puppy. I was circumcised, which sure seems like baby abuse to me.


There's a lot worse things we do to animals than declawing and defanging a pet bear. don't forget, you incarcerate chickens so you can abduct and eat their children.

Sidewalker
The bear was spared too.or they would have to put it down if it attacked you.


It's not like it was a random bear looking to attack people, the bear's job was wrestled people, it was a wrestling bear show that traveled around the country, I assume they cancelled coming to Oxford because not enough people signed up to wrestle him.


Yes, I went to Oxford for college...Oxford Ohio.

Sidewalker
Bears are just too powerful for humans.


I actually agreed to wrestle a bear once.


There was this wrestling bear scheduled to come to town back in my college days, my wrestling team talked me into signing up (award for winning was $5,000), I spent a couple weeks researching and strategizing how I was going to win the match.


Fortunately, the bear cancelled, so there was no match.


I did a lot of stuff like that back then, sometimes I look back and think it's amazing I actually survived my youth.
