ok - i know how to create filters 

but what i can not figure is how to "AGREE" with what Thunderbird "SUSPECTS /THINKS" is junk  to avoid having to create filter - part of the adaptive learning that would be effing awesome  - a button next to yellow  "not junk" would read - " yes this is junk" then i don't have to create filters over an over again

thanks in advance if that setting already exists but i am too knuckle headed to have read it and not understand...

You can tell Thunderbird what to do with messages classified as junk. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages#w_junk-filter-settings

You'll still get them anyway, there is no way around that once your email address is 'burned'. But you won't see them in your Inbox anymore.
