I take no joy in the downfall of any person. They may be the vilest of people; but it is still a shame and I find no joy in celebrating that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I did the research and offer the following: How do I become a wordsmith? Become a Wordsmith 1. Use a simple word rather than a fussy word or a word cluster. Example: "She will assist you presently" or "He is not available at this time." 2. Be thoughtful in your use of adverbs and adjectives. Is the word repeating something that is already evident? 3. Little qualifiers weaken a sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 All are not created equally, and all are not judged by the same standard(s). If you haven’t noticed this, you haven’t been paying attention. As for Bible verses, this one comes to mind: To whom much has been given, much will be required.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Funny how the people with similar mindsets who flame Gruden praise Netflix's "Cuties" and support other hate group identities that hate others. Haters hating other haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Once upon a time, I was going to see the Raiders play the Broncos on a Monday Night Game in Oakland. I take the BART instead of driving. I get off at the coliseum stop and when I'm going down the escalator to the ground floor, everyone you see is wearing silver and black. Then I hear this loud booming voice yell "You'd better hope that your team loses." I look and at the bottom of the escalator stands this scared looking guy wearing a bronco jersey. As I walked by, I heard him tell his friend "I'm not going to say a thing." I laughed and thought "good idea." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden sues the NFL and Roger Goodell (msn.com) The NFL has campaigned against the raiders ever since Al Davis sued the league and won. Gruden happened to be a convenient target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
