V. ArnoldParticipant
The more we question things, the more everything would appear to be fake…
Very astute; questions are the enemy of the realm…all of them…
V. ArnoldParticipantHey Ilargi; just how much art was stolen from Gardner Museum March 18,1990?
It leads me to wonder just what kind of human could possibly be that blatently selfish to deprive the planet Earth and it’s people of that wondrous feat of human expression called art…
V. ArnoldParticipantThe planet really is insane; surely this signifies the west’s inainity, no?
V. ArnoldParticipantGerman Children ‘Must Be Prepared For War’ – Minister (RT)
German children should be made to prepare for war to boost “resilience,” Education Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger stated on Saturday
. She said kids should be taught what to do in the event of conflict and suggested introducing “civil defense” drills in schools so that youngsters will be prepared for the years ahead. “Society as a whole must prepare well for crises, from a pandemic to natural disasters to war. Civil defense is immensely important, and it also belongs in schools. The goal must be to strengthen our resilience,” Stark-Watzinger said in an interview with the Funke media group. She also called for a “relaxed relationship” to be fostered between schoolchildren and the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr), suggesting that military officers should visit schools to explain what “the Bundeswehr does for our security.” President of the German Teachers’ Association, Stefan Dull, told Bild last week that the minister’s proposal “makes sense.”

Stolen from Gardner Museum March 18 1990, the single largest property theft in the world?Many galoots in the world today; robbing the world of the gifts by the words greatest artists fot their own depravity……..
V. ArnoldParticipant“zerosum is a contrarian.”
Nope.
Look closer. Define circle.That’s one for zerosum; very clever…
V. ArnoldParticipantPersonally, I think it’s despicable, just as I think that the American/Israeli collaborative genocide is horrible almost beyond definition. It is Satanic.
I can and do concur with your pov….all of it!
We’re the evil our parents warned us about…………V. ArnoldParticipantBe sure to use a hollow point .22 mag round still you only have one go of it.
That folding pistol is a .22 long rifle; not a .22 mag…big difference…
V. ArnoldParticipantGreat job. Now will they rescue their country?
…on a not small scale, they did rescue a very important part of our country…
V. ArnoldParticipantSaving the Elk herd is awesome…….

Do western “leaders” all have a death wish???????V. ArnoldParticipantSeaBirds
Homer: Mending the nets.
Love this painting. They seem content in their daily toil beside the sea.
” … evokes a time of purposeful people.”Yes, but very hard on their hands; the salt and the rough netting take their toll…
V. ArnoldParticipantThe implications of these failures, that are only on the surface mechanical, may be colossal. They go to the core of Amiel’s observation about the cult of excellence that once upon a time reigned in the West. The question is: what has happened to it, what explains its disappearance?
In a word: Greed!
As a master machinist for more than 30 years; I witnessed the destruction of standards of excellence destroyed by poor; no, rotten/corrupt management over that period of time.
What caused this? Look no further that your overloards of that time…
The U.S. is dying by thousands of cuts; bail while you can…there are no viable alternatives in the view askew as far as I can see…………..V. ArnoldParticipantKnow your ((boss))

V. ArnoldParticipant….of course the U.S. is the largest perveyor of war on this finite orb…
V. ArnoldParticipantWhen will the Israeli butchers be held to account?
Rhetorical question; never is the most likely answer…
A good portion of the planet is totally f***cked up…
Nothing new here but I couldn’t let the war mongers go unaddressed………..V. ArnoldParticipantClaude Monet The house at Yerres 1876
As usual, the art is incredible….thanks bunches Ilargi……

War is ALWAYS at the fore…
I give up…
time to go into the woods………………..V. ArnoldParticipantA new year; 2024….
I wonder, does it really matter?
I think not in the least; war is our new forever reality…….
…so the calendar is just a marker in time…….. 🙁V. ArnoldParticipantArtificial Intelligence my ass! Automated Tyranny is more like it, and every single AI system ever built was built to serve the guys who own and built it.
Thank you DBS.
“Critical Thinking” is a buzz phrase for the media.
In fact few possess genuine critical thinking skills as should be evident by the blather vomited by most of the MSM on a dailey basis…V. ArnoldParticipantIlargi,

V. ArnoldParticipant…re. olive oil; evoo can indeed be used to saute/brown onions and other veggies…
I often see posts to the contrary…utter rubish in my experience.
An experienced cook can do so without smoking/burning the evoo; which is the only oil I use…V. ArnoldParticipantIIRC extra virgin is the oil from the first pressing…

Sometimes it hurts to gaze on portraits by 15 yo’s……..
V. ArnoldParticipantThe Hopper’s (art) are splendid; keep them comming…
At my age, 78, I’m fast retreating from the daily grind of the world each day….
We humans can be a terrible lot when our governments go on killing rampages in our names…
In reality “we” have no power to stop this grave crime against our fellow humans; withdrawing from society is our only option as far as I can see…….V. ArnoldParticipantThe world is a wonderous place; may the gods bless us and protect us if we ever lose the wonder that is the world around us…………
