The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Funny part is - I've been consistent. There are times i've changed my mind and explained in detail.

Over the last 25 years of posting history i've changed my mind on:



Abortion: Went from Pro-Life, to holding-my-nose *(in some cases) pro choice.

Same sex: I may feel that it's for man/woman - but i have *no* right to dictate that to others.

Iraq War: I loudly blasted myself in 2006 for supporting it. Especially when those NeoCons were *not* Reaganauts nor Buchananites nor Perotistas when i was all 3 of them in one way or another.

I was never anti-safety net. I guess my only change now is i'm less open to cutting it because bad culture, and Club 401K globalism has added to the structural poverty in america.

But other than that....i've changed nothing.

I have said that the Trump stuff i *thought* was never going to happen - is happening so if you feel that is a big change - fine - but i reserved that right long ago.

At this point, just waiting to see if the Left wants to beat the worst parts of MAGA - or help them win a 3rd term. And right now it's a coin flip.
