I'm angrily waving my walking cane in agreement.

At first this thread was for kissing Rob's posterior, but ironically even it seems to have veered off into the usual weeds.

So... Trump trump trump Nazis UFOs NSA IRS contrails price of tea in China... There, can we lock the thread yet?

randomq,
Perhaps in this thread, okole might be considered more appropriate?

You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

PW, I have a call out to the friend who told me about the incident to see if it's ok to talk about but we all have lives so patience may be required. Ever heard of it? She was shaken up about it when she told me the story so I did assume it was really recent. But I acknowledge that grieving has a way of stretching out time. Trying to be sensitive about it because of the grieving issue but realize it may effect you personally, as well which is the only reason I am talking to you at all at this point. Your curiosity, however, would not take precedence over respect for the family. Re: more info. If can, can. If no can, no can. Try being nicer if you want cooperation. You started a hailstorm of people calling me a "lunatic fringe conspiracy theorist" for just asking questions, not "making claims" as you repeatedly assert. Honestly it all starts to look more conspiratorial when questions are rebuffed in such a manner. If you're personally tired of certain subjects why not take a nap? So refreshing.

Check in on PW. What the heck, why not...

Same ol'? Same old. The virtual gathering place for cranky old babyboomers habituated to complain and bicker as pastime.

It would be very hard to keep a death quiet at the bottom of Makuu. The locals, the police, the newspapers - nothing.
I think your friend either has the wrong island or the wrong decade.

Pardon me, my opinion counts.

Wouldn't saying that it is against the rules not only remind people that it is against the rules but also keep you from being wrong as you actually don't know what everybody else thinks?

It's another good reason to not go there, besides it being against policy. And to show he's wrong, it's necessary to indicate who else's opinion, other than your own, that you find important.

I'm afraid he's right, in the context of national politics. Many of us can't always suppress the urge to share our viewpoint (myself included), which seems so terribly important to ourselves but actually mean little to nothing for most others in a forum such as this.
All these arguments manage to do is create bad blood between participants, so its a wise policy (IMO) to disallow them.
