Dear Is Mise,

«so if a bloke hits his wife a few times to make her do what he wants but hits her with love then he's not being violent.»

Is this hypothetical, or can you actually simultaneously hit your wife to make her do what you want AND with love?

I can conceive of VERY RARE situations where this may be the case, such as when what you want her to do is only for her own good. It happened to me just once in my life, many decades ago, when I have hit someone (not my wife) with love in order to make them do something for their own good, I felt it was God's calling to hit him and I had absolutely no violence in my heart. He did hit me back though and I accepted that lovingly too. We ended up embracing and crying together.

BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL. For the vast majority of men, never will there be a time, even once, when hitting their wife can truly be done with love and non-violence.

«Wonder how it would stand up in court?»

Had you been in such an unusual situation, what courts do and say would be your least concern. Chances however are that courts would not become aware of this because your wife would actually thank you for it rather than complain, such is the power of love!

'But apart from that, and the facts that he was born extraordinarily wealthy, bombed out at pretty much every level of education, dodged vany military service, is a bully, a braggart, a sexual predator and a liar, has no empathy for seventy-odd thousand COVID victims, is a vile creature and possibly with various intellectual disabilities (not that there's anything wrong with that), he may not be a bad bloke. '

did not know you were looking for a job with CNN Joe. You have to have more TDR than that!

Hi Foxy,

Didn't he make some comment about his daughter being a nice piece of arse, and that if she wasn't his daughter ......

But apart from all those caveats, who knows ? Stil, I wouldn't ever want to be anywhere near him.

And now, just when the US curve is peaking - not dropping, but peaking - He exercises his leadership and says to the governors, do what you like, even wave your guns around, who cares. Real decisive.

So, if numbers are doubling every week, for every positive case,

Week 2: 2

Week 3: 4

Week 4: 8

Week 5: 16

Week 6: 32

Week 7: 64

Week 8: 128

Week 9: 256

Week 10: 512

Week 11: 1024

Week 12: 2048

For each positive case. And that takes us up half-way to the election :)

The US currently has 1.1 million positive cases. Actually, with that many, it would be too late to bring in a tracking App, not that many dumb-arse Americans would download one, since it would infringe their freedom.

'Give me COVID or give me death'.

Joe

settle down Joe. Obviously your TDS prevents you to be thinking rationally. I mean no mentions of rates of US death compared to Great Britain, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands. Oh well whip up your outrage. I never realise you and Foxy had such kindred spirits.

Hi Runner,

Or rates of death compared to those in Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan and South Korea ? i.e. those with competent governments ?

Oh well, it will all be over by Easter. Easter, 2021. And fewer than sixty thousand Americans will die. Well, maybe fewer than one hundred and sixty thousand Americans will die ? I hope so, I hope it's fewer, but we'll see. Oh Mr Hart, what a mess !

Joe
