Does this mean if I return an asshole to its maker with the idea it is the right thing to do, I will be regarded as a good citizen?
RCW – You certainly will be justified, and regarded as an outstanding good citizen … worthy of merit, and an example for all other good citizens to follow.
Do you mean actually finding their mother and shoving them back up from whence they came? I’d pay a dollar to watch that.
Another, similar(?), test is whether or not a person picks up their dog’s pooh.
Or leaves the beach as clean as before a visit.
Or pays entirely for the cost of their own children. LOL.
What is the verdict if the shopping cart also happens to be a persons home?

There is going to be a whole lot of shopping cart “R.Vs.” when the full force of the depression hits, so don’t be that judgemental regarding persons who don’t return the shopping cart.
Lloyd Blankfein, praise Satan, will both never need a shopping cart as a home nor does he go shopping -that’s what servants are for – so he won’t be impacted either way by the moral dilemma posed.
I believe the rules of the test are whether you return the cart when you are through with it. If you are using it to move around your personal belongings, then you could still be a good person. the test comes when you find another place to store your belongings.
Where I used to live some guys with a pickup would get $5 a cart for driving around the neighborhood, loading them up, and bringing them back to the store. One store manager said his cost $400. Never could understand why you’d see one a mile and a half from the store.
It depends on the situation. Ideally, you would be predisposed to return the cart. When you are forced to stand in a long line outside the store and you are wearing a hot mask in the hot sun, fuck it, I am not even lining up.
The USA is on the way to third world status in a handbasket. The pendulum done swung too far from the days of starving musicians in the 60’s to billionaire rappers in the ’20s. Now it must overshoot the 40’s to bring the country back from the glitter era of the 80’s.

EC, bravo bravo.
I really appreciate the feedback, I never know how my comment will be received. Doc Pangloss described how a class had conditioned the professor by coughing and making noise when he crossed from one side of the room to the other. He said that by the end of the semester, the poor Doc was cowering in the corner.
The best compliment I ever got was from a woman, and it had nothing to do with size; T4C said I was edgy. However, today, I make a mild comment and run and hide under the bed in case somebody is offended.
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
A fave — with the blackface included.
It’s not what you do when everyone is watching you. It’s what you do when no one is watching you that counts.
A sporty enough challenge in the N.W.O. Panopticon.
Another test.
If you are generally stong and in good health do you attempt to park as close to an entrance as possible or do you leave the closer spots for the elderly, the infirm, and women with young children?
ews,
haven’t you heard of natural selection?
park as close to the front as you can get–
Park far, far away; get the exercise and avoid the dents/scratchs.
Seems to be in the genes of America’s chosen minority.
The only place I have visited or lived that did not have shopping carts scattered all over the parking lot is right here in the North East Georga mountains. Often I have witnessed elderly men and women, who struggle to walk, returning carts to the corral.
When you pee in a public restroom, do you wash your hands even if nobody else is in the resroom??
Absolutely! I was never into self abuse.
I wash my hands first, before taking a leak if the joint is sanitary enough to begin with. Been out and about not keeping track of the pretty dirty places my hands have been. Want Mr Happy to remain happy.
Take the pause that refreshes.
Then, no need to wash up after draining the lizard. Gently open the door with feet or towel in hand.
On the other hand, after taking a dump wash-up is compulsory, although in San Fransicko only if a fountain is the venue can one wash up just after the bombing run.
I wash my hands even if there is somebody else there. I don’t wait for them to wash my hands.
I was in the airport in Saigon waiting for an R&R flight. Went to the restroon to pee and on the way out a Marine hollered out, “The Marine Corps taught us to wash our hands after we pee”. I replied that the Navy taught us not to pee on our hands.
Your pee on your hand is probably the most sanitary thing you’ll touch in a public restroom.
I am most happy when returning a shopping cart to the front of the store or a designated “corral” area when another car is waiting for my spot. It becomes a constant reminder to them of the right thing to do…regardless.
As a “scab” back during the supermarket worker’s strike of 1978 in S. California, I sometimes had to walk a 1/4 mile in the 90F+ heat just to retrieve carts that assholes would roll to the bus stop or to their car in front of other stores in the plaza. I moved more carts during that strike than most people would move in a lifetime, and I have likely walked them a lot farther too. I take cart return seriously.
Don’t test me.
Remember this “Married with Children” episode? The cart of death.

A while back you warned us about honey but I don’t remember if you went into any detail. I love my wild honey and am about out. Can you give me a basic rundown on what you meant.
we don’t produce near enough honey here & we import tons of honey,much of which is from 3rd world countries,esp china–
the chicoms have been caught adulterating it so much that there are smuggling operations that take chinese honey to a different country & it is re labeled as coming from that country instead of from china–
bottom line,if you don’t buy your honey from a beekeeper of at a farmer’s mkt,produce stand,etc that a local beekeeper’s honey you might not be getting pure honey–
check out what popped up when i typed in adulterated chinese honey to the search bar–
https://www.google.com/search?q=adulterated+chinese+honey&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS775US775&oq=adulterated+chinese+honey&aqs=chrome..69i57.25574j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
If the honey you buy doesn’t come from your local beekeeper, it will not have any pollen in it. It is just that simple. Local beekeepers do not resort to ultra fine straining of their product. The Chinese have been busted for selling products that had no honey at all, sweeteners from malt. How did Vietnam go from exporting a bit over 3 tons to the next year it was in excess of 200 tons? Miss-label and transship through a port of convenience. We local beeks cannot compete with a Country that works for a bowl of rice and the pollution is so bad, certain fruit crops are pollinated by hand using a feather , all the pollinators were killed by filth and pollution.
Happy to read of other beeks and their love of keeping bugs in pine boxes. Many have read of the joys and heartache of farming, and have sought out local small farms for fruit and produce, sometimes eggs and such. How many know who their local beeks are, where they are, and do they sell products from the hive?

Thanks.

Why, then, ’tis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

How the hell am I gonna’ get muh ten cases of grape drink home? Free shopping carts are a right !
Purple drank.
Are we seriously here on a Sunday evening debating what kind of person returns the f’n shopping carts?? The assholes in power in this cartoon world are literally hitting us with a fleet of buses and wrecking our lives and we are ‘spose to worry about cart etiquette? Good Lord……
What does it take for you maroons to get hoppin’ mad?
A flat tire on a shopping cart should do it I think.
BL
What are you doing? Are you here frequently trying to rouse people to action. They don’t even know whose dry fukkin them. Why aren’t you showing and telling them who is laughing in their faces as the corrupt their preeteen kids? Are you stirring debate about what can be done? Are you vociferously supporting someone here who is. If you have it must be while I sleep.
Flea- I have been busy NOT returning shopping carts.
People in this country would stand in the kitchen debating what style of new counter tops to purchase while the rest of the house is burning to the ground. Granite is so yesterday. It’s hopeless……
Or as the evil boss once said to my buddy John, we’re not talking about me, we are talking about you!
Sure, they stole $trillions but how clean are you, have you returned the shopping cart every time?
EC- Thank you for putting things into perspective. WE can’t be worthy of self governing until we are able to not return the cart or better yet, just steal all the carts and re-sell them in a third world country. That is the mentality of those who GOVERN.
I thought of David who said he had sins he was not aware of and of Paul who said he didn’t judge himself. If we judge ourselves according to how many carts we return, we might miss some real fuck ups we do.

The Limits of Human Wisdom
15In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. 16Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? 17Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?…
EC…
“All things have I seen in the days of my vanity:….” says something on a much grander scale to me. Each breath that sustains us is a gift….
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
In your newer translation, I feel limited to understand the message as to having meaning for this life only (?) when I hear it tell me that man, at his apex, amounts to but rags…..
I surely don’t want/mean to be preachin at ya…..
The day of my dad’s funeral, after 4 days of fixing bloody marys and dumpin ashtrays for a limp wristed, 80 yr. old-never been married-interior decorator uncle (mother’s older brother), my older brother, who had been spending his days laying the hay down in his meadow, started laughin at me about ole’ uncle gene……..
I stuck his damn head thru the closet door.
If I ever wanted to see my 22 month old little nephew again, my seeester and mommy made me go see a psychiatrist.
I went for two visits, in the first hour visit, my poor little wife set me up for a ride when she made a response of “but you get sooo mad”. At the end, she told me I was depressed, because I turned my anger inward ……gave me a script for depakote and risperdal, and set an appointment for a week later.
After about 3 days, I was feeling different. I call my MD’s office, they took me right in. Doc looked at the two script bottles, and tossed them across the exam room to a waste bin….and told me “you don’t need that shit, sometimes a man’s got a right to be pissed”
I went back to my second visit and told her I wouldn’t be taken her dope, and if she talked to my big brother he would disagree that I turned my anger inward. The shrink lady looked at me shaking her head with those dark circled eyes atop an an0rexic frame, expressed her deepest concern about my ‘rage’…..
The second visit was a polite but firm 15 min……..but I got billed for an hour.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<—–===
I like the king's english……….
Do you know if MG is doin okay?
Ordo.
I found your reply on uncola’s article late but left you a reply there.
Sicario, I suppose she is, I get a crazy email once in a while. I don’t know what it is about her that I love so much – I do like white girls, from a distance, at least they don’t fuck you over like a ghetto chicken head.
Thanks for you response, you are not preaching, it’s your point of view. Interior decorator has got the wrong image like hairdresser or banker.
Decorators are creative types that make our environment interesting and livable, imagine if we had to live in the same house with avocado appliances forever.
If it was up to women, the damn house would be covered in pink and men would cover the walls in camo nets and empty bottles of Jack stacked to the ceiling.
So in other words, you’re hollering at us for debating self honesty while the cupboard is being robbed but you are too busy to do anything about it other than discuss it with EC.
Flea- Not hollering at anyone, just in general. TPTB dictate that we are honest/good/follow the rules/law. You know, everything they DON’T.
Nice goys finish last.
Just return the fucking cart.
We’ll be so busy returning shopping carts, we’ll have no time to revolt. Muh integrity!
Flea, I think his point is that we are past the point of cart return. You are echoing what Bea said thinking you are the one who said it.
EC
Care to translate that. I’m not echoing diddly squat. I asked him what he’s doing about the problem while he accuses us of doing nothing. Your not Ms. so and so from the psychic friends network so quit trying to read minds with that sick mind of yours.
What’s with the instant psychoanalysis, Spock? I said that you and Bea are saying the same thing. I’m reading comments, not minds.
My sick mind- care to expand on that? It might be true, I have moments when the sugar fluctuations will take me on an acid trip but they don’t take me on a ‘roid rage, I’m too old for that shit. Although sometimes I do yell at clouds.
That’s not what you said. You said erroniously that I was echoing what bl said thinking I was the one who said it.
You have an annoying habbit of reading something and running it through your “Strange” mind and then telling us what we really said just like a Para Psychiatrist would do. “Para” as in knowing just enough to make you think you know something.
Bea complained that the world is falling apart and all we are doing is talking about returning carts (5:47). Later, you complained that Bea and I are discussing some fluff issue while the world falls apart (10:27).
My third grade teacher said we should read for understanding. A reader has to work to fill in the blanks correctly. If I get it wrong, you have an opportunity to correct the error in my conclusion, that’s called having a conversation.
ec
You apparently didn’t listen to the 3rd grade teacher. I filled in the blanks and you still got it twisted around like a real Alinskyite.
Yeah, I know.. Formica is where it’s at..
Apathy envelopes anger and suffocates it. Often turns it inward – hence, suicide.
Are you and Uncola Martians? Unc says anger causes depression and you say apathy causes anger.
I say loss leads to depression and whatever causes anger, IDK but it does not lead to suicide.
If you ever watched John Belushi on SNL, it was a loss of honor that made him want to commit seppuku.
EC- What part of this is hard to understand?? WTF??
Flea and the feelz-goods here will be down at the WM returning carts when the Nazis pick up their family members to go to the camp…….but OH HOLY SHIT……..they returned that damn cart.
I can tell that these folks are not business owners or landlords. Not to worry, the pain will find them eventually. This is a never ending shit sammich with this virus crap and they will be worried about SO MUCH MORE soon , book it.
BL.
Screw you wimpy. I never said a word about returning a cart or leaving one, I just made a joke about washing hands. I used the term us because of it. Calling me a Fealz good with my track record of spreading doom about this system falling apart is a stretch. Especially when you do squat besides pop in now and then. If your too busy to do anything here then what are you doing here instead of being busy elswhere.
Returning a shopping cart is evil because it destroys jobs!
Plus it might have Corona on it, best to just dump it in a ditch and set it on fire.
OT, meant for that one person out there:
Just in time for Mother’s Day, The Korean soapy Mother (on Rakuten Wiki) should be titled Mothers, there are several moms in the drama. It is an extended essay on motherhood. One portion is on the trials and tribulations of single mothers of young children and the other portions are the purpose and experience of mothers of adults. We get some valuable gems from the mouth of both grandmothers in the soap opera as well as from the young doctor. In this drama, we watch the young moms making mistakes while the grandmas have all the great advice.
This isn’t the typical Korean drama about one person’s memory loss or a complicated Romeo and Juliet love affair. The show focuses on the young girl and she is almost in every scene. There is a lot of symbolism in the program; the nesting dolls – also called Matryoshka from the Latin word “mater” which means “mother” – may be the source of the title.
There are plenty of backward looks explaining seemingly insignificant details so that the scenes themselves are like the dolls that are stacked inside of other dolls. The child uses the dolls to describe her new mother but the dolls also symbolize the life series of children, mothers and grandmothers all stacked within.
The drama itself is deceptively subdued and we are led along by a stone-faced protagonist who under-reacts to events around her. All the while, the viewer’s emotions are in turmoil, sympathizing with the reactions of people surrounding the protagonist and anticipating the worst in almost every episode. This drama, like motherhood, is not for the faint of heart.
I meant HF’s daughter, in case you didn’t know.
By that measure the highest and lowest income brackets are least able to manage self governance.
