The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

With myself.

I know revenge and violence are not virtues and in real life - I can't hurt a fly and frankly, I have no desire to hurt anyone physically. YET each year when I watch Shawshank Redemption, I absolutely relish the scene where the bully raping Andy gets the snot beat out of him by the guards....I know I'm not supposed to cheer that ---but, I actually look forward to it


Today's news - a United Health BigWig is shot in NYC and possibly targeted. If it's over money or sex or whatever that's a shame but honestly? My first thought was: If it was on behalf of someone jerked around by the HMO - -- yawn, enjoy a cherry coke and that's that.
