    Disney Loses First Amendment Retaliation Lawsuit

    Forgive me as I do not have a clear understanding of what should be on the Controversial Topics board and the main board. (I do not participate in that board but did check and I don't see where this has been discussed.) This thread...

    Not better. Just smarter and without delusion.

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    Well that certainly is some gymnastics (and I understand that you are just illustrating the matter and not advocating.) But I seriously doubt anyone budgets based on percentages - budgets are mostly based on how much you have to spend. Value is completely different and I am sure that everyone...

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    I am also curious about your claim and not understanding how the costs, outside of the actual cruise fare and related items, are more for you on other cruise lines. Do you live near Port Canaveral and therefore have no hotel costs?

    'Fess up... who has NEVER...

    I have a possibly/maybe/but partially true/non-conspiracy/half crazy theory about that. The "new" identity was formed to see if he/she/they could start a certain number of threads, without ever responding, in a certain time period. A good way into the first year it seemed to me that that the...

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    That is quite unfair and you might consider backing off just a little. Those comments were not directed at you but I suspect you are only looking for agreement. For the most part, you are on a forum where the majority of people are going to agree with you. After all, most people crave...

    Dating Red Flags?

    I think what it comes down to, for me, is avoiding extremes. Extreme views and unquestioned loyalty reveal a distinct lack of intelligence. I don't want the person who gets fueled up watching MSNBC, CNN or Fox and then goes out to the internet or the world intent on spewing crap. If you assume...

    Dating Red Flags?

    I have never been on a dating site so I cannot answer, but I have wondered the same. How many farmers are looking for love? Apparently enough to spend tons on advertising. As to the political aspect, though a small sample size it seems relevant that the discussion on this thread is driven by...

    What’s the most positive amazing/unexpected thing you saw/did/had happen this year?

    We purchased an apartment in Bologna Italy in October. Our son is living there while in graduate school and our plan (hopefully) is to make it there 3-4 times per year for a few weeks at a time. We leave tomorrow for a brief 10 days. I can remote work for short periods. We will test the waters...

    Mayim Bialik no longer hosting Jeopardy

    Legitimate question - Is it your opinion that she is radical or is there some mainstream acceptance that she is radical? I certainly don't agree with objectifying Bialik. I also don't agree with making incendiary remarks relating to Bialik's affiliations if, in fact, there is no basis for doing so.

    Controversial Topics Board

    This is where I fall, though through the lens of a different profession. I don't have all of the answers (probably none - at least none that anyone cares about.) There is very little appeal in attempting to prove that I am correct, or as things generally go, trying to prove that someone else is...

    Independent Audit Blasts Disney For Pulling ‘Bait And Switch’ On Florida: ‘A Mousetrap’

    I would also like to see rulings in these cases, but it appears the most likely ending is a settlement as the political angst winds down. The first battle (state court) is over the development agreement and covenants and restrictions implemented by Reedy Creek immediately prior to the...

    College Football 2023-Year of The Dawgs?

    The real problem here is that the four team playoff system is terrible and this year there are probably seven teams who have a legitimate claim. Nevertheless, this discussion has gone on for several pages without much mention of the committee rules and criteria. College football has always been...

    College Football 2023-Year of The Dawgs?

    What are you getting at? Georgia was ranked ahead of FSU last week. Alabama played and beat the committee’s number one team. Don’t you think that game improved Alabama’s strength of schedule and gave them (probably) the best win of the season? It is far superior to any win FSU has. The weekly...

    College Football 2023-Year of The Dawgs?

    Good gravy. You should look at the rules instead of making things up. The committee’s task is to chose the best teams. Now I agree that the rules are nebulous and in the end, right or wrong, it is a mostly subjective exercise as there are few common opponents. The fact is that prior performance...

    Keeping Political Discussions away from Your Thanksgiving Table

    I did not ask for you to do so. Nor do I care. Nevertheless, such base level thinking is likely unjustifiable.

    Keeping Political Discussions away from Your Thanksgiving Table

    I should clarify my position since you, @Christine and others are likely jumping to conclusions about my beliefs. I don't believe in any higher being, religious or otherwise, of any kind and I am not accusing you of indoctrinating anyone. And I am not a "conservative" so don't come back with...

    Keeping Political Discussions away from Your Thanksgiving Table

    You are referencing extremes . . . and I certainly agree with you. I don't think that was the tenor of the conversation though.

    Keeping Political Discussions away from Your Thanksgiving Table

    Based on this thread it seems the goal isn't to avoid political discussion, but to avoid discussion with those with whom you disagree. I don't care to hear anyone's nonsense (just move the conversation along in these situations), but I am fine with a reasonable, intelligent discussion. Of...

    The 6% Real Estate Commission is Doomed

    This is the part that is problematic - mainly for the seller (as the lawsuits prove.) I am aware, though I assume most buyers are not, that they are ultimately responsible for direct payment of a commission. I would agree that standard forms properly disclose this.
