Wow, long ago, far away, but someone on another forum (poetry) reminded me of this and ran across this thread googling. LOL!

[quote=""sohy""]Gee Loren, did you skip my post about all the gun toting liberals that live in the south? Gun ownership is more popular in certain parts of the country and it usually has little to do with one being part of the left or part of the right. But, I have a gun toting l...

Good. It may come to civil war. The Majority voted for Clinton. When the Trump supporters figure out he's full of sh*t and not planning on doing diddly for them and only doing for himself then things will get really interesting I expect that to be about March - American Spring.

Yep. I suspect noise or Earth-based interference.

[quote=""R. Soul""]No, I don't see it. And yes, you're quite helpless, I agree. Making a show of your preferences and dislikes as if anybody gave a shit isn't the issue. That's par for the course in today's twatter and fakebook atmosphere. The issue is the difference between find...

Exactly the same as described in the opening of the article that I quoted, they are attempting to influence others - students, college, teachers by making a case out of it on social media: From the article in the link I posted: "Incoming freshmen began posting on the Class of 2019 Facebook page...

[quote=""R. Soul""] Here's an additional example: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/duke-summer-reading-fun-home_55dc6cbae4b08cd3359d353c That's different though. Making your own choices, even if they're stupid, is one thing. Systemic tone-trolling where you try and enforce PC ...

[quote=""Roo St. Gallus""]Heh...This thread is filtered out and inaccessible on my work computer...at a US institution of higher education. It refuses access and tells me that it contains 'adult material'.

Of course you have, your avatar is a cock!

[quote=""R. Soul""]Good article from The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/399356/ Something strange is happening at America’s colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students...

:d unno:

I removed Norton after trying to install it on the laptop. I've been assured that windows defender will work just as well and I'm going to go with that. I've never been happy with the resources and problems that Norton causes. I've had a 'conflict' between Norton and Windows Defender in the past on ...

[quote=""Copernicus""]I had some driver incompatibility with my scanner, as well, so I uninstalled the scanner driver. The system immediately reinstalled the driver, and it worked fine. I am surprised that the upgrade went so smoothly. It was a tremendous feat to be able to upgra...

[quote=""crazyfingers""]I broke my own promise to myself and just installed Windows 10 to this, my new notebook. Turned all of the options off to send info to Microsoft, as I did on the old notebook. So far so good. My email works and so does Firefox. No issues installing. It too...

[quote=""crazyfingers""]OK so the kids game still works I think. Instead of 20 minutes to boot it does it in about 3 minutes. On vacation once booted it took another 15 minutes for iTunes to load. I had to plan almost 30 minutes ahead to watch a movie. itunes just opened in about...

[quote=""crazyfingers""]I went to control panel, Windows update and installed from there and it gave me the license agreement and has stated the update for Win10. Odd the app didn't work but that way did..... Or at least so far. I'm now wathcing the familiar blue update screen.[/...

[quote=""crazyfingers""] The "Get Windows 10" app is still just going twirley twirley saying it's working on it.... It's been well over about 7 hours now and it still has not come up with the license agreement. Task Manager says it's running... Hmmm... And Norton Securi...

[quote=""Copernicus""] That's bullshit, Cop... Would you then say that every kinetic or chemical reaction is a form of consciousness? If so, then do you make a difference between sentient behavior and any physical event? How? If not, then what is the difference between consciousn...

Yep. He's got 'er!

[quote=""Copernicus""] there is no evidence that organisms without brains have any consciousness at all. That's bullshit, Cop. There are many single-celled organisms that behave phototactically and all of them behave chemotactically - simple stimulus/response. That's consciousnes...

[quote=""Siempre""] Wordperfect was my first 'real' word processor -- before windows even. Used it running CP/M and then IBM DOS. :D Oh, I take it back. I used Wordperfect as well for awhile in between Xywrite and word. I'd completely forgotten about that program...lol. When I fi...

Wordperfect was my first 'real' word processor -- before windows even. Used it running CP/M and then IBM DOS.

Yep. I wouldn't care what I use, but for my writing and publishing MS Word docs are the standard.
