There has never been nor ever will be an even playing field

Careful river, remember the focus of the day, is recovery. :cool2:
And I hope this isn't a set back, but the playing field has always been level.
Surely by now you have noted the differences is in the players? You do know, this is why they play? Sort it out you know.

I will remind you of indentured servitude, slavery, child prostitution, and the many evils of mankind before I counter your "always been an even playing field" myth but hey...you've got some imagination going there...tell that to the disabled vets struggling to get by as well...life's not always fair.
 
Everyone talks. No one listens.
completely disagree with this....the listeners just draw no attention...others think being loud makes one right....where there is respect there is both talking and listening ...not speechifying or withdrawing....also....some bullshit isn't worth listening to in my view..there's a street guy in Eugene the other day yelling at me that God is going to destroy the world....I told him to have a good day..he looked really intent on having a conversation with me....not in my movie!

Holy crap! Do we differ! So damn much, we don't even have to play.:cool2:

inequities abound all over the planet...no need to sugar coat it and pretend...some have ways and means and some folks are actually impoverished or without ways and means...it's the human condition..not a topic about entertainment
 
It is indeed. They all bring it to the same playing field.
Some of those children can't walk outside the sweatshop or brothel....they aren't bringing anything and definitely aren't playing. You seem to be unaware or just not concerned with that segment of humanity..I have empathy for the poor and the destitute in most cases unless the condition is self imposed
 
I hear "stories" about this a lot, but mostly it's just being hammered at me by the Deep State media because they want us at each other's throats.

Probably 70% of my friends on faceplant and off are lefties, many are musicians or artists.

But most of them are intelligent enough to see both sides and realize neither party is interested in serving Americans honestly. They acknowledge the depths of corruption and treason both parties suffer from. They stopped watching TV commentators not long after the election when it became obvious they were being lied to daily. None of them can even pick a candidate to support for 2020 as they have been given such a horrendously incompetent crowd to choose from. Meanwhile, most of them admit the economy has greatly improved for them personally since 2016, but grudgingly still attempt to credit Obama with the massive reversal.

We don't discuss politics unless it's something that has a personal connection to one of us. Much more important, interesting, and/or fun things to discuss. We don't let our differences of opinion get in the way of friendships, and we're all smart enough to know our 1 vote each is just a crap shoot in a game with no referee. What happens will happen, that's the mystery and excitement of life. The unknown. We could be attacked by China tomorrow, or by our own military with tanks and poison gas and killer-robots. Or not. If I awake to a battle tomorrow, bring it on. If I awake to a sunny, peaceful day, maybe I'll go fishing.

Politics are best discussed with people whose feelings you don't care about too much, like on message boards, or with thick-skinned adults who are mature enough to handle disagreement without getting butthurt.

I love my sister, but I have never friended her on faceplant because I love my sister.
I really enjoy your posts more when you write them yourself.....agree with 98 percent of this one.
 
I see no blood or even dirt on their clothes, no bandages, crutches or stretchers.

Seems they gave up their homes without a fight, so if they don’t care about it why should I?

Keep away from pizza parlors where the Deep State has taken control. They now promote Hillary's child sex ring and other child slavery. Oh, not in the open. It's all very devious. They thought we'd never catch on but those of us on the far Right are on to their scheme.

That's proof they haven't had a hard time. Journalists are all obviously lying.
 
Unfortunately, at least with people I encounter, that seems to be becoming more and more the norm. A couple of times recently she's posted opinions on her own wall, then followed it up with statuses telling people not to comment on her statuses if they don't agree with her, because they aren't going to change her mind, and they should just defriend her if they don't like what they say.

Which made it all the more stupefying that she commented on something I posted on my wall and told me I should just drop the subject because I wasn't going to change her mind.

I generally communicate with someone because I want to listen and understand their view. It's even more beautiful when we are able to reciprocate that respectfully with each other.

choices....these are refugees escaping...not in the hospital...you want pictures of the dead? The front runners in that crowd are definitely ahead of the pack for a reason. I never said you should care....I said I care. My post is in response to the "equal playing field" post. fact...the playing field is not equal, never has been and never will be.
 
welcome to the equal playing field

I hear your empathy sir. There is no doubt you are a master of mustering this response. You can and do exceed my capacity. I am even sure the world needs your talent.
However, this doesn't prove the playing field is tilted or not level. It just shows that many will choose to see it that way. I do not, we can all play even though many do not.
Ha! Once I could get under 4.4 in the 40. A simple bamboo spear slowed that down with one small cut. So you just call on your other talents and win. The choice become clear when you can't run.

You value the act of loosing or running. Hell those people didn't lose, they just didn't know how to win! Help them with this and be much admired. We are awash with empathy for those that don't know how.
 
Facebook is good for two things. Seeing how old girlfriends look 20 years later and buying and selling car parts.

Dodged a bullet on most of the old girlfriends...they would probably think the same.

Three things. Promoting you band. ;)

your post here makes you a poor judge of character then...once again, the topic evades you because you see it as sport...good luck with that...you think there's an even playing field for humans today....I know better..
