Because you don't say what you're talking about. Agree with me on what, exactly? That the sky is blue? That we both like ham and eggs? That rain falls from the sky? FFS, just what are you asking?

Your question is absolutely baseless until you give us some clarifying points.

Do you mean country's? What specific wisdoms are you referring to? I think you should clarify.

Wow that struck me as kind of a rude comment. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Well it is impossible to agree with everything that a person says or believes. For example: Benjamin Franklin was an alcoholic and a ***** monger, so I don't agree with that. You need to be more specific. If you can't think of anything to use as an example then.......BYE

I Can not tell all the things that Ben Franklin did..........he harnessed electricity , his experiments included flying a kite in a thunder and lightening storm...........if Franklin was an Drunk we should be so drunk.....we type and argue on a device that requires electricity..........he lived into his 80's.......i suspect he was more than most of use will ever be.........unless we can learn the whole story. Ladies and booze were not his downfall.........just part of his anti-Puritan behavior, but i don't think he spoke against virtue. I think he grew to embrace it.
