"One would be forgiven..." https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/just-deserts-or-just-desserts#:~:text=Despite its pronunciation%2C just deserts,but pronounced like the sweet What to Know Despite its pronunciation, just deserts, with one s, is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning "the punishment that one deserves." The phrase is even older than dessert, using an older noun version of desert meaning "deserved reward or punishment," which is spelled like the arid land, but pronounced like the sweet treat. Based on the way the second word in just deserts (“the punishment that one deserves”) is pronounced, one would be forgiven for imagining that it came about in reference to some form of discipline involving custards, cookies, or petits fours. It might even make one wonder why there are not other meal-based forms of chastisement in our language; why no deserved breakfasts, no requisite lunches, no warranted teas? Because it’s not that kind of dessert. 😇 stevenkesslar, alvnv and unicorn 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tassojunior Posted March 10, 2023 Members Share Posted March 10, 2023 Here's three friends who were all killed 2 months after enlisting. Whether they're Ukraine, Russian or Dombas you should not be celebrating their death or joking about war because the American yellow press is on yet another pro-war propaganda narrative of lies. War is a horrible thing. We were wrong murdering 7 million Vietnamese (for their own good), wrong murdering 1 million Iraqis (for their own good) and for following the yellow press into the Mexican War, the Spanish American War, and WWI and all these secret African wars we have going now. The American press glorifies war and death in every war until people eventually get fed up with the killing and lies and then the press pretends it was never really for the war. Celebrating war and death is wrong. Shame on you, shame on us. Mavica, vinapu, lookin and 3 others 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weep for the America I knew because we've become such a hate-filled war-loving country where most of our money goes to war and death and very little to the people. And between government censorship, the CIA's war narrative of the day, the regime media's war narrative of the day, how does anyone know what the truth is anymore. It's assumed we can't handle it and we're easier to govern by the regime if we are propagandized. I don't know what country you're from but you're a 100% war and death-loving fascist. Killing people by the millions is not right. If you support it something is very wrong with you mentally. forky123, Marc in Calif, unicorn and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or do you prefer to call them "g**ks?). Then 1 million in Iraq ("sand n***ers"?). What other country comes close since then? I don't think defeating Russia needs be our main priority in the US. The world's biggest murderer is right here. But I don't blame patriots who love their country and fight for it trusting it's necessary. It's the regime in America that convinces them killing people is good when it's really only after preserving world domination for the white race (NATO), Wall Street, and the US war industry. forky123, alvnv, Mavica and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
