"Virtues are in the eye of the beholder"???? What kind of horses**t is this? What you are saying is that virtue is merely subjective and you can define it as anything you want it to be. Precisely the same way a secular humanist defines morality. This is truly a mentally corrupt, emotionally frigid, and spiritually barren view of human life.
Ah, yet another display of your own ignorance. Virtue IS subjective, many traits that some call virtues, others call flaws. Ever heard the old standard "Silence is a virtue"? Is silence really a virtue if you see a wrong is being committed?
"True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment." - William Penn
"Silence is a virtue in those who are deficient in understanding." - Dominique Bouhours (Particularly apt quote for people like you)
"Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own." - George Bernard Shaw (Another one perfectly suited for you)
Would you like to try for some more?

In reply to Kevyn's images.
There are at least 3 LEGITIMATE Trump/Epstein images floating around on the internet, that top image of Donald, Ivanka and Jeffrey all together is doctored. Jeffrey was never in that photo. Ivanka looks uncomfortable enough with just her and Donald in that photo, just imagine her discomfort if Jeff was there too. With that many legitimate photos of the two together, do we really need to pad it with a f**e? Trump has even acknowledged his friendship with Epstein.
Interesting side note, all this talk about how Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein being such close friends, there is not one legitimate image of the two together anywhere on the internet that I have found. Things that make you go hmm. Could it be that these ERWNJ websites making these accusations are just full of s**t? Where is their proof? If Bill and Jeff are such good friends, why no pictures of the two together?
What does Trump say of Epstein? Trump said in 2002 of Epstein, "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.".

Total fake, the real photo is just Donald and Ivanka with the motorcycle.
Real image of Trump and Epstein at Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
Real image of Trump and Epstein at a party together.
Another real image of Trump and Epstein at an event together and chummy.
I would have included some with Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein except I can't find any legitimate samples (undoctored).

Interesting math you have there. 36,000,000 ÷ 1440 (minutes in a day) = 25,000, you claim that 20,928 of that is pure profit. So, using your assumption, retailers mark up their wares by over 500%? You have never ran a retail outfit have you? I can assure you, the typical retail markup is NOT 500% over wholesale. Typical retail markup fluctuates greatly with many factors, but standard rule of thumb is typically around a ±100% markup. You don't become the largest discount retailer by jacking your prices up well beyond standard markup.
For the sake of making the math easier for everyone, let's assume that the result of 36m ÷ 1440 is 25k and that OP's assumed ppm was 20k not 20,928. The 25k figure is how much money comes into Walmart's possession every minute (Assuming the 36m per day figure is accurate) which breaks down to 25k per minute being acquired by Walmart every minute on the average, of that 25k per minute, the OP assumes that 20k of that is profit, which means that Walmart burned through 5k worth of merchandise (wholesale value). Assuming wholesale value of 5k and total sales of 25k making 20k profit, that would be a 500% markup or 80% of total sales is pure profit. Walmart would not be a discount retailer with that kind of markup would they?
Could you provide a source for you information mr. mr.? I would like to look over their figures.

Interesting, so, the census taken in 2000 doesn't count? Or was the citizenship question being left off the short form Obama's fault as well? I found the 2000 U.S. census form on the census.gov website, it too doesn't include a citizenship question on the short form. Looks as though NPR didn't get it wrong, zerohedge did.

I've flown from Kennedy to Tel Aviv, Israel in 12 hours, and got there in bright sunshine; have also flown 10 hours from Kennedy to Buenos Aries, Argentina, with sunshine on landing.

Unless you do this very late in the day or at night (if at night the sun ISN'T stalking you), yes, quite positive.
As for your trip to South America.... You do know your directions don't you? South America is south, not East. It is right there in the name of the continent even.... South America, key word (or more specifically, direction) is SOUTH!
But yes, typically if you fly far enough East but not too far, you can usually escape the stalking sun, at least temporarily.

Not really. I also have my conservative side but if anybody tried to make the claim that I was a Trump supporter due to some of my conservative leanings, I would likely lose it.

Wow, so unhinged. Attacking one of his closest allies even.
And again he goes off on Fox.

Ah, because I see Trump for what he is, that makes me a "lefty". Tell me, how many other republican figures have I shown distaste for?

1. Great wall of text is bothering my eyes so either learn to break it up some or this may be the last time I respond to you.
2. You are making the same stupid mistakes all the rest of the Trumpsters are making, assuming everyone that isn't a Trump fan is a "l*****t", "Democrat", "socialist", "c*******t", "Marxist", "liberal" or a "rino". That just shows how little you truly know and how far extreme right wing nut job that you yourself are.
3. Most of what you THINK you know, you don't know, you make it obvious when you try to push ERWNJ propaganda.
4. You are still refusing to back your assertions, if you can't/won't back your claims, obviously you have no faith in your own opinions, therefore, we should all just ignore anything/everything that you THINK you have to say.
I did your work for you on the one lie Trump told and of course as I expected, you didn't care that that lie was proven to be a lie. What will it take for you to accept the t***h? Your media sources and your "messiah" are the ones lying and promoting the f**e news, not MSM. Perhaps if you weren't so lazy and/or intellectually deficient, you could discover this for yourself, but I know you won't and you won't be phased no matter how much t***h I present to you, no matter how many of his lies I fact check for you. That is the very definition of ignorance, not caring to learn the t***h, remaining uninformed/misinformed/disinformed. Enjoy your ignorance., I hear it is quite blissful.

The sun is indifferent to our presence, however, you could hop on a 12 hour flight halfway around the globe, walk down a street, and exercise the same diversionary tactics, and there it would be again, unavoidable.
It is one of those things mankind will never control.
God got there first, and He said so.

Depends on which way you flew. Fly West and yeah, that sun will be waiting for you to step off that plane, fly East however, that sun will be nowhere to be found, at least for some hours.
