[E7]

It is more likely than not to hear native English speakers using the grammatically incorrect “if I was you” instead of the correct “if I were you.” If enough people get it wrong, does that make it right?

Eventually.

Caption for the man praying: God says, "Wait two minutes, I'm busy reading my email!"

I thought no caption was adequate given the visual....but I could be wrong.

Given the visual, I thought it depicted an explanation of why God does not answer prayers.

Get in line, take a number, and wait or provide your own answers.

Some that's true; some of it's not. Some is also just stupidity. Reads like the usual pass it along email nonsense that usually registers as spam...

Could you just isolate and mark the ones that are false or stupid with an F or S. Maybe some of us here have learned to not believe everything we've seen with our eyes or heard with our ears, and have come to depend on elites like you to inform us of "The" correct truth, justice, and the American way.

That's how it works, E7. It's the same as the Washington, D.C. adage that "if you tell the lie long enough, it becomes the truth".

If you have to be told which is which then that's the problem - think for yourself instead of being told what to think. Following the herd only takes you to the slaughterhouse.

Elite? Hardly. Elite is term that's applied by folks that are confronted by their own failed decisions.

Is that what happened to you? Is that why you're always pontificating, bloviating and denigrating all the time?

Pretty much. He and Dr Donkeypox think they are the smartest guys in the room. It’s like their mothers locked them in the closet when they were toddlers and now they are attention starved. They come here making up for lost time, pushing threads to the top daily, always adding some tag line to to his post so you know how clever he is, always some snide or negative remark about society. It never ends…..probably why the member ship has been at about 60 for the past 20 years.

Can't tell you about social security - I don't take it as it would just get deducted out of my pension annuity.

Medicare though I pay for directly and I'm paying plenty!

Will they continue to deduct your pension after age 65.5, if you receive SS.?

Yes. "Double-dipping" was eliminated many years ago.

[robert.]

Did you pay into Social security?
