LOL I don't travel with audiophools.

There's only one who might do that- he's short, balding and likes to ride on horses without a shirt.

There's another one that's fat, in old age decline and with an orangish tint.

I wonder if we will see another civil war of sorts in the US with that a??hole dictator spinning all kinds of lies while the people in the US begin suffering from his dumbf?ck tarriffs.

Depends. Are you prepared to stab your neighbors to death with a bayonet or cut the head off of your cousin? If no, I'd bet most the rest of the country isn't either. Sadly, the media plays on this fear for ad sales and page hits. Civil Wars aren't fought in far off places. It's nice and close to home. I'm no expert, but having spent over 2 years in Iraq at the height of Ramadi I can tell you we're no where near that level of hate. Give either administration 10-20 years of actual oppression and maybe. But taking away my TikTok or raising the price of my AVR ain't doing it for me. But what do I know...

No matter how people try to explain to me, I never get it .... where that extreme hate comes from

Check out the Stanford Prison Experiment. The road to madness is very short indeed.

The newer 2015 film on the topic was quite good; or horrifying is more accurate:

The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015) ⭐ 6.8 | Biography, Drama, History

Fortunately and unfortunately, it can't be explained and needs to be experienced. I'm my life, I've seen horrors that make words feel useless. Things that people in first world nations pretend doesn't exist. Nature is cruel, but not done with evil intent. That's only something humans can do.

Eh, anyway. This is a hobby page. Why discuss something so terrible? Thank god for music. I'm heading back over to the "what are you listening to now" thread. I'd suggest we all take a breath and do the same. Save the news for the 5-6 pm hour. You get local news/weather/sports followed by 5 mins per national story all done before dinner. There's no way to get upset with anything in 5 mins. My $.02 anyway.

Can you correct it? I was asking about "roces hare". I know what a Hare is, but what is "roces".

Well as an outsider looking in, America is as divided as I have ever seen it. Maybe you're already in a civil war and don't know it. Leaders like Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu pump up the hate rhetoric with their words and their actions and there will always be lemmings who follow such rhetoric blindly because they are incapable of independent and critical thinking.

Yeah, no. If you think rhetoric on Twitter or Facebook means we're in a civil war, well I'd say take a US Civics Class. Vietnam War had WAY MORE GOING ON and yet, neighbor wasn't killing neighbor. Civil Rights movement, anti-war protests, assassinations, drugs, political unrest (Nixon). I mean, lay off the social media and 24/7 news cycles and maybe go listen to some Miles and hit some THC.

Not neighbors killing neighbors, but extremists planted a bomb that killed a researcher at University of Wisconsin-Madison, described in the link. After all of t he years since it happened, I remembered the name Karleton Armstrong- not sure how destroying the Mathematics Department building would help their cause, but when someone goes off the rails,.....
