Interesting pointing out what is actually occurring is BS. It is happening, In the next few days I shall post pictures of downtown Portland Oregon. 

Entire city blocks are shutdown, businesses have left community. There are over 10000 people waiting for unemployment checks. 

Portland has a community activist running the police dept, surrounding communities will not let their police depts assist the Portland police. 

The governor has put into place a no evictions ruling for the last 90 days. Right now she is 're appropriating federal money to pay these landlord's. The city is paralyzed...still standing yes..The question is how long.

Praise trump?  America is great? Reelect this situation?

Portland's strife is self induced, there is no Trump agenda here what so ever. To that point the Oregonian news paper actually shut down opinion pieces due to the backlash the governor faced trying to pass cap&trade. 

I could go on and on...The N.Y. Times did a piece on state of affairs, it foretold this future. 

Trump is only guilty of crushing the left's agenda of socialism. As to the fault of Democratic cities crumbling you can lay that at the feet of Obamaism and the far left media. 

Like it or not that day is coming with or without Trump..One cannot take enough money from the federal gov't to fix there insanity of social equity...Also known as SOCIALISM.

@Enthalpicis too stupid to connect the dots. The  damn leaders are local. The problems are local it is against Federal Law for the Federal government to interfere in local politics but ignorant Enthalpic (who still thinks the only salt is NaCl) can't figure it out, so wants to blame Trump. Because TDS.

I'm going to help you out, Ward. In the process leading up to discovering what I'm about to tell you I came to the realization why there are no "Centrists" in America. This is convoluted and complicated so stay with me here. Armed with this knowledge, your life will be easier. 

Basic Premise: Socialism and conservatism are engrained in the DNA, just like hair and eye color, sexual preference, personality traits, etc. 

Study Model: I had a friend who was deeply conservative. He married a very pretty woman who was not. They had two children. One of the boys grew into a conservative man with strong family values, a charitable heart, and a good work ethic. The other one likes money but prefers that others make it. This follows typical Mendelian genetics: it is up to the nuances of how the genomes within the egg and ovum are distributed. This mess began in the Garden, of course, with Adam and Eve unable to resist the temptation that had been carefully spelled out for them. What happens in the garden does not stay in the garden, so here we are, all these generations later, with about a 50:50 split between conservatives and liberals--it's still a fight between who gets the leaf and who gets the fig. 

Such is life as Homo sapiens, variety H. erectus. We males can choose our friends but must faithfully follow our dick throughout life. Just as the male praying mantis surely knows he's going to get his head bitten off when he mates, he does it anyway. And if you do that with a pretty socialist, well, you wind up headless with the strong possibility of having fathered, as your last act on this earth, a penniless offspring with strong opinions about where all the money should go.

I warned you it was complicated! But trust me on this, it will lighten your load.

Feel free to carry on with the name calling.  This place will continue to become more rational as people who can't control their emotions like Tom and yourself leave.

Live long and prosper.

There is a reason for that.  He sits up there in Edmonton and pontificates on his elevated, golden throne about American politics, instructing us peasants in the lowlands on the right and proper way for Americans to order their affairs.  

Canadians are big on that.  Meanwhile, they let some ragtag band of natives  (they politely call those folks the Indigenous Peoples) shut down the entire national rail network, and thereby the complete economy except for some subsistence farmer with a carrot patch and three chickens in the backyard, and do nothing about it.  Mind you, nothing that four policemen couldn't deal with, but hey, in Canada, everybody has to genuflect before the Indigenous Protesters who are protesting -- what was it, again?   A pipeline?  Some old land claim?  Special passports?  More transfer payments to atone for past guilts?  I lose track. 

 

Oh, that's right:  it was "stop colonization."   Well, I guess they did.  When is the world going to finally get fed up with these ridiculous tantrum-throwers and tell them to go back to sucking on that bottle of infant formula?

You're welcome.  Come to Edmonton, in the summer, it is very nice. I'll buy you a Grolsch or Bavaria and some bland cheese.

We have plenty of our own racists who wanted the trains to just run over those protesters. 

Canada's historical treatment of the natives is not a good example - it's only slightly better than the US history of killing them.

Once again you have shown you lack of insight to things that matters. It is now well known there was a translation error in the original text. A rib was not given to Eve in fact it was part of a mans brain. Which gives credence to the fact for over 4000 yrs the male has been desperately attempting to talk to it and the female has been frustrated trying to use it...i will not go to those who are in total confusion... for some...ignorance is bliss they say. Such is life.

Never was my mistake, just your ignorance of basic chemistry, which is why it's funny when you blather on about it. I said salt was a buffering compound, you said NaCl as if that's the only salt. You were wrong, you threw a hissy fit and I decided you were ignorant and stupid. You've had ample opportunity to improve your status but your subsequent posts have not done you any favors on that regard. Carry on.

This was your denouement Where I yanked the rug out from under you.

Gave you the rope, left plenty of clues (and links) but you still stumbled and bumbled your way right into checkmate. Amazing that your coherence is so low that you still believe you "won". That conversation convinced me you were a junior high or high school student with a smattering of knowledge playing with the adults. You've barely moved the bar since then.

A casino just outside of Edmonton (River Cree) is on native land.  It is much different from Edmonton casinos or restaurants as it allows indoor smoking.

People who brag about their IQ are never as smart as they think they are.   "OMG! I took an online test that said I have an IQ of 140! "

The smartest people I have ever met are humble and understand how little they know.  The smarter you get the more you realize you know nothing.  Trump thinks he knows everything and therefore is an idiot.

Nope. 

Unlike you, Tom uses his real name. Right off the bat that shows more mettle then you've demonstrated. Furthermore, given that this is oil price dot com one would imagine that, oh, i don't know freaking oil knowledge is important? Tom knows more about the industry in his toe jam than you can manage period. That is why he was a moderator here, and was on the rigzone site before that. 

But the oil industry is attacked constantly from all sides, from morons who believe in fairy farts and pixie dust that will magically replace all the fuels, plastics and fertilizers that the oil industry produces. Trying to engage with those morons is trying to say the least. Tom was never fired, he simply quit. Enough was enough and it wasn't fun anymore. Many of the best people have left, sick of constant attacks from the ignoratti like yourself. I rightly criticise you for being so clueless about your own industry in Canada. Your income, your pension, your way of life is dependent on that industry, and you're just too clueless to figure that out. Your country has 3 industries and 2 are dead and the third is on life support, but you're constantly on here criticizing the USA. Look in the dam mirror. 

A moderator who issues threats is no moderator; he is a vigilante. Is he gone, or is he lurking in his vigilante role? 

You should follow your own advice, look in a mirror.  You criticise and condemn others for their views. Yet you cannot express any of your views without insulting, demeaning, smearing others. 

If you have knowledge to share, then please do, in a manner that is respectful and objective.  Thank you.

There you go again, demeaning someone who is not 'murcan and shares not the in-depth knowledge you have gained. tsk tsk. 

uh, What has salt to do with the thread?  In English, salt is NaCl.  If you mean other chemical compound formed by base and acid ions, normally such is not labelled as salt. An example is sodium benzoate: it would be formed similarly to sodium chloride in a chemical reaction, but normally would not be labelled "salt".
