Lattice 'n railing. Deck floor was already there. He wanted the piece underneath the stair stringer left out for access... but I'll talk him into building a removable lattice door there in a week or two,.watch.

Pretty solid post piers. Never used em before. They don't budge and there's no notching em. U stick the post in there and put three inch.screws through the holes on the sides. That being said, I did those rails in about seven hours becuz I didn't have to notch the posts.

It looks much better without the ugly fencing. Americans can't sit of a deck without falling off it?

He rebuilt the deck and put that thick deck stuff on it (better than paint and stain), essentially turning it into the equivalent of a Trex deck, and left it open for months. So it was open like that for a minute.

But no u wanna add value if you might sell the house. They might sell the house; ergo, add value.

Those post caps light up at night.

Well that's Building Codes, though to be fair given the average beer consumption at the average bbq, it's a good idea.

"Women and men have the same nature in respect to the guardianship of the state, save insofar as the one is weaker and the other is stronger." - Plato

I get into wars like regular guys get into football games. I don't necessarily have a team... I just enjoy the competition. However in this case I am nearly obligated to side with Palestine on account of boaf of my great grandparents on the moms side being Palestinian. But then I am even more nearly obligated to side with the mad Arabs in universum by virtue of my grandparents being Lebanese and Syrian.

Like half of me couldn't get more shimitar wielding harem having mad Arab mystic Sufi dancing assassin than it already is.

The only fact that disassociates me from nationalism at the foundation of this conflict is the fact that Jewish and Arabic people are two caucasoid phenotype collections that have evolved two incommensurate meme systems that exist entirely in their heads and keep them fighting against each other all the fuckin time.

If the suffering wasn't so tragic this conflict would be a goddamn comedy. What did that dude in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy say when he wuz looking at the erf? Maybe it wuz an alien. Never read the book just know about it. Something like 'all this over some guy nailed to a tree four thousand years ago'.

If I could just have a sit down with main guys from Israel and the mad Arab nation, I could make em all spinozean ubermensch marxists who in less than a decade could outrun America and China in GDP, no prob.

Zionism is impotent without capitalism, and anything attributed to nefarious zionist conspiracy is made possible by capitalism.

It doesn't matter what the jew believes in his head; a zionist is not given magical powers by god to subordinate the world. The power of a movement such as zionism is granted by the mechanisms and opportunities of capitalism.

The grand lol: The anti-zionists are pro-capitalism, the very thing that makes zionism possible.... while they claim that zionists are pro-communism... the very thing that would make Zionism impossible.

When desk jockey Republicans who have the job they do only becuz of the easy paycheck and not becuz they know anything about politics or give a shit about truth, liberty, freedom, etc., aren't making it harder for the working people in every way and cutting taxes for the parasite capitalists, what are they doing?

Wasting time and tax dollars arguing and voting fourteen times to either put a moron in the speaker's chair or take one out? Is that what's happening right now?

Before u even enter into the capitalist vs communism debate with someone, ask them how they make their money. Everything follows from that, and the debate is over before it even begins. If they are not working class, even if they were intelligent enough to understand marxism, they would still defy it. Who would want to jeopardize an opportunity to make free money?

Behind the philosophical and intellectual facade is simply an upright monkey that's getting a free ride, somewhere, somehow, and loves it.

If only human nature wuz more complex, more mysterious. I wouldn't be able to smash in one paragraph what intellectuals debate over for centuries.

Whatever makes you feel important ...

Rule numero uno for posting on a philosophy forum, Walker: never let em know they hit a nerve when they have.

Part of Trump's paranoia lies in his belief that others are jealous of him becuz of his wealth, and therefore out to get him. Democrats, the IRS, whatever else. Of course some of this may be true; there are shallow people, like himself, who believe that being wealthy draws respect and admiration... people who would be envious of him in that respect and therefore be out to get him.

But believe it or not there are some people who aren't shallow, do not envy him, and are out to get him becuz he's a useless parasite. Quite simply.

I do believe that he's competent enough to know and be aware of people who 'see through him' and aren't jealous, but disgusted. He has to know this becuz every big capitalist has a little secret contempt for himself; they feel like a parasite and know many others consider them as such.

This contributes even more to his sour attitude.

Oh. I assumed that winning your debates is important to you, based on your posting, which is what I was referencing.

I guess rule number two would be, don't stick your foot in your mouth, at least so much?

Now see why didn't i do that? The last time my employer refused to pay me, like a dumbass i relied on the justice system and paid all this money to take him to court only to lose.

The dumb n-word bitch who was the judge wasn't even aware of her own statutes, and when i tried to educate her, she got angry becuz i knew more than she did and sided with the capitalist parasite.

I'm literally reciting statutory law concerning the differences between wage employees and subcontractors, proving, by law, that he had to pay me.

Not even the judges follow the law. Not even the judges.
