@twshield and you base these ASSumptions on........??

It is an established fact that believers are deluded and liars.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 17, 2020:

Ummm, some of my best friends are devout believers, and I resent, on their behalf, you ASSuming/saying nasty things about them. Ever try Minding Your Own Business?

AnneWimsey replies on Feb 17, 2020:

@nogod4me I agree, but tarring every believer with the same negative paint does no one any favors.

Thank you for the detailed description of Hinduism...i learned quite a bit. I wish you had added a bit more of its' dark side, such as the caste system. However, I have Never, in my entire 71 years, anywhere, heard Hinduism described as "woo", until you did here. Your ASSumption, in the first ...

AnneWimsey replies on Feb 17, 2020:

@JeffMesser ummmm,the fact that numerous posters use the word "woo" does not buttress your ASSertion that they are referring to Hinduism, which as You point out, is not necessarily a religion at all.

I think I’ve finally been through all that I can handle.

AnneWimsey comments on Feb 15, 2020:

How about if you take the puppies to a shelter & then see if they will give you a certificate for a free or.low-cost spay? Which I wish you had done earlier. Then, move out yourself...talk to your landlord. If you make it plain you will not be able to pay they may be glad to see you go.

AnneWimsey replies on Feb 17, 2020:

@1EarthLovingGal passing out puppies at Walmart is animal abuse! You have no idea what kind of home they will get! Maybe even used as "bait" for training fighting dogs! Please take them to a shelter where prospective owners will be vetted!f

@twshield your ignorance of the 40+ year bond between black voters & Bernie is astounding in its ignorance!!!!!! He has been arrested demonstrating, go to YouTube & see footage! Black voters know this, you are parroting Faux

I've come to the conclusion that trumps supporters WANT to live under authoritarian rule.

When you are intimate with anyone, you are exposed to every single person they ever slept with, and we all make mistakes. I took care of my brother in law as he died of AIDS in the early 90's...6'3"", 83 lbs just 6 months after first diagnosis. Right now, women in the over-62 age group are the fastest-growing group of newly-diagnosed HIV-Positive people in this country, and have been for over a decade, because this kind of ignorance! We can't get pregnant, so you don't need to wear a condom....look it up at the CDC (Center for Disease Control) website! We also go undiagnosed for much longer than younger women, because we are older & must be "through" with sex.......

For people who don't like Trump and don't want him re-elected but also say they will only vote for a certain Democrat and not another, you're the reason Trump got elected in 2016 and you will be the reason he will be re-elected in 2020.

@Omnedon if you support drump, IMO you either overtly or secretly admire his "work"/stance/outlook. To continue to like/admire/associate with those kinds of people is a personal choice which I cannot ascribe to. He is without doubt the most divisive person on the planet. Before him, a thin but strong veneer of Commom Courtesy was expected...no longer.
