Thank you, you are 100% correct. And you can include “guvment response to ‘war’” in that too.
Let’s drop the controversial political comments please, that always leads to a nasty argument.
Perfect fit, those jeans.

Absolutely, diversity absolutely divides.
Don’t believe me? Try organising a lunch outing where someone’s vegan, another’s kosher, another’s gluten-free, another’s lactose-intolerant, another’s got a peanut allergy, etc.
“Okay everyone, here’s a case of bottled water. Dig in!”
Opposites attract.
true for magnets, not sure how long for happy relationships
Yeah, I've never been attracted to a woman that's the exact opposite of me.
She doesn't have to be just like me, but we have to have a significant number of things in common for there to even be a chance of a good relationship. 
Shouldn’t it be something people actually said before it can be a false saying?
I don't know if anyone has said that exact quote, but there are plenty that have said that it works (using different words.) 
Not to swerve off the rails to politics again, but for those old enough to remember, Reaganomics was the era of so-called trickle down
Trickle-down economics, or “trickle-down theory,” states that tax breaks and benefits for corporations and the wealthy will trickle down to everyone else
“Heated arguments are bad”
No need for politics. But what you left out was that “trickle down” was a derogatory term created used by the critics of Reagan tax cuts.
So the intersection of the set of people who use the term “trickle down” and the set of people who agreed with Reagan’s economic policies is pretty much an empty set. Anybody who says “Trickle down economics works” is a common saying sounds like they’re pushing alternative facts to me. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the economic policy, “trickle down” was a term used by critics, not supporters.
ETA: Upon fact-checking myself, the term “trickle down” is much older than the 1980s. But wikipedia agrees with my primary point, that it’s always been a derogatory, critical nomenclature, not a supportive one, and even presents some evidence that it’s an intentional mischaracterization.
Is that one false, or is that one a joke?
It’s false. Good heated arguments are something that are great to see if all sides are acting in good faith.
I sometimes like watching heated arguments, but I hate being in them. 
Thanks, i never realized that aspect of it.
i guess an old dog can learn something new.
OT:
“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”
:laughing: Is this a false saying, or are you making a joke?
Neither, but I do get in more arguments on BLF than most.
I swear that I don't enjoy it, though.
I didn't know that either.
I've only been following politics closely for less than a decade, and I thought that "Reaganomics" and "trickle down economics" were synonyms for each other without a difference between them.

"You can't teach an old raccoon new tricks."
What are sports, if they’re not heated, physical arguments over which team/athlete is superior?
Michelle Myers?
