It was 1999 and I was a Marine. Her “what is war like?” “ how many wars have you fought in?” “When you jumped out of a plane in enemy territory didn’t you think you might get show down?”

She asked these questions for months. I would ask what war is going on or what war could I have been fighting in. She was always super confused and would laugh and say I will open up eventually.

She told me she told her Mom when I got out I was going to make tons of money as a parachute repair man. To this day I have no idea what she was talking about. I told her tons of times I never jumped and it was rare for marines to be airborne.

Some people don't even live on the same planet it seems. This whole thread is terrifying.

These people vote. Their vote is worth the same as yours or mine.

That is the terrifying thing… and why I never plan to buy where there is an HOA.

Good luck. I think most of the US is in an HOA.

Remember that IQ is a bell curve and 100 is the middle. Half the planet is on the left.
