Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Ray, everything else but. I have given my Clayton's daughter (for her treasure memories box) for her 2 navy boys my dad's granny's baby rattle and dad's Bosoms whistle. The soap I am now using. :David keep the sealed Solvol , might be of $$ in a few years, maybe millions :lol:

Dottie,
I think you mean “Bosun’s whistle”.
A “Bosoms whistle” comes as standard equipment in every male. 😁🤣

The question that has baffled many, what is your take on this:

Do two people who don't know what they are talking about know more or less than one person who doesn't know what they're talking about?

More.

Proven many times over.

One person on a forum v. the rest of the forum. Of course the rest knows more.

Do they know more? Or because they have got it wrong and trusted other who also had it wrong, so they no less, because who they believe has it wrong but it blocks out their ability to see fact from fiction ..... doesn't that mean they know less?

Have you ever tried to talk to a person who believes all horses were unicorns in the past, while they're sitting on a donkey?
A single-track belief can blind many to other possible facts.

As to the question in the posts above, look on any forum/ facebook, etc, and you will get a good cross sample of many learned armchair experts pontificating with their knowledge ( Gained from reading other "posts" as facts.)
Just because they post and scorn other beliefs doesn't make them God right.

T1,
The total amount of ignorance is doubled.
viz. The entire Don Taco administration.

More ignorance than their entire voting base and capable of seeing a disaster as a triumph without a trace of shame or regret. (See separate thread in ‘Joker’s Palace’.)
Regards & God bless,

My thought for today is "The whole world is fornicated" Now that's a fact. :lol:

This is from another forum, but sort of answers the question, and they have even developed a scale https://www.cartalk.com/radio/letter/andy-scale
