Wow! I would have to guess that your knowledge of four women murdered is an anomaly. I can’t say that I know personally of anyone murdered, male or female. Is it the work you do?

@MsHoliday, seriously, I drove public transport for 42 years. I have no recollection of any murders on a bus. A few heart attacks, some squabbles, but never even a serious assault. Must lead a charmed life. No friends or family members. Two suicides, but no murders. And my one cousin was a cop (I’m sure he saw plenty).

@LenHazell53, except that about 50% of the population thinks most of what the other 50% are saying is a lie. So which 50% gets to decide what gets tossed out as fake news? You know why lawyers exist? To make people believe that every law, every accusation, is not what it seems to be, in other words, fake interpretation of what the other lawyer is attempting to make you believe. And they generally only have to convince a dozen or less people. Fighting news, you would have to convince millions.

Barnie2years replies on Feb 12, 2020:
The problem is at this point, so called “fake news” has become whatever news a person doesn’t agree with. If you are a Liberal, “fake news” is pretty much anything on Fox News or any other Conservative outlet. If you are a Conservative or a Trumplican, basically anything reported on mainstream media derogatory to the president or his policies is “fake news.”
Both sides have “experts” to back up their reporting, though more often it is omission of facts even more than fabrication which changes the direction of the reporting. And in the age of sound bite journalism, twisting statements to reflect viewers preferences is just a matter of which segments you include or crop out.
This is not saying that total lying isn’t happening, Trump can’t say more than three or less sentences without at least one being an outright lie. But in the journalism field, reporting those lies can be biased by letting them stand as is, or fact checking to reveal the truth, depending on who your audience is.

Barnie2years replies on Feb 7, 2020:
@St-Sinner I don’t believe we are losing with the American people. I continue to believe that the majority are liberal, just much less organized than the Right and the conservatives. Just as Atheists are more independent and less prone to joining than the religious. We, as free thinkers, tend to be more laissez fair, meaning we are less prone to attempt to force our thoughts on others. This outlet, Agnostic.com, allows us to find common ground, discuss openly our thoughts and motivate each other to see our sameness rather than our differences. Something the standard media, and even less so Conservative media would never allow.
So no, I don’t think voicing our feelings on here (and at least for me on Facebook) is a waste of time, or doing something wrong.

I know the early years were both trying (lonely nights, lack of conversations, no sex) but you adjust to these issues as you go along. Having my dog these past four years helps with everything but the sex! 😄 And there are always someone or some organization to seek out when you need advise or a helping hand, even if you need to pay for the services.

But his campaign was doing behind the scenes deals with the Iranian Mullahs to not release the American hostages until after the election. Not to mention illegal activities in South America after the election and who knows what else that never saw the light of day.
My daughter just informed me that my step-son who lives in another state has passed.

There is nothing wrong with seeking comfort in the idea that one never dies, but live on in some nether world. It has brought comfort to mankind since the beginning of time and it is not likely to change anytime soon. It is no more off the wall than the idea of reincarnation for sure. Not ...

@MsDemeanour, I always figure no matter what is going on in my life there are a whole lot of people out there that would love to have the life I have. I used to tell my Dad when he was constantly complaining about his health issues: “the fact that you wake up every morning, put your feet on the floor and stand up puts you way ahead of many people your age.” It’s all in perspective.

@Heidi68 did you see Pete Buttigege on Bill Maher this week? Bill asked him what he would do if he was elected president and got to Washington and Trump refused to leave? Pete said it would be interesting household, him living there with Pete and his husband Chasen! LOL Watch near the end of the interview.

I think surviving a life threatening situation might make me appreciate the time I have left. But I already practice gratefulness so I like to think I am aware of my limited time on earth and how much I still need to do. I know when my husband died, I realised how precious and precarious life can ...

The loss of others often spurs people to make more of their own life. I must say, I never really had that reaction either. I don’t spend a lot of time psychoanalyzing myself (I’ve grown content with who I am over the decades😊) but growing up we move every couple of years and I kind of feel I got used to the idea of friends coming and going in my life. Even family! My grandparents on Dad’s side both died while we were away as did my Mom’s father. We did not come back for the funerals. I tend to take a very realistic view of death. It is the one great equalizer, no one escapes. If you get to spend a fair number of years on this earth and lived well, you should be thankful and not fear the end. I felt bad for my 15 month old son who died of Leukemia, he never got to experience much of life, but by the same token he never had to experience all the bullshit life throws at you.
I have had an interesting life, overall not bad. If I check out tomorrow, I have no complaints.

'near death' is not death. You're heart can stop beating for a time but your brain is still functioning which is why people still sometimes 'see' things And no atheist has had this 'near death' expeience and seen St Peter at the gate.
Barnie2years replies on Feb 1, 2020:
I aways figured that was why people had the bright light, seeing dead relatives experience. That had preprogrammed themselves for that experience, so that is were their brain went after the heart stopped or slowed down.

The only difference I've noticed is that I now am bothered by the sight of blood which never affected me before.

Did your experience involve a loss of blood, like an accident?

Bernie and Warren are very much alike.
St-Sinner comments on Jan 30, 2020:
Bernie will not be president. If at all he is nominated, he will have another heart attack after Trump trashes him in the first debate. There will not be one term for Bernie, and there will not be two terms of Bernie. So rest well. Don't worry. Don't let the impossibilities bother you.

@RoboGraham Speculation is worth about as much as spit. Time will tell and since half the candidates drop out long before PA gets a shot to vote, there is not much reason to get excited about the whole thing for at least a couple of months. So we shall see of the Democratic machine wins again with Biden ( big mistake in my opinion) or the Bernie or bust crowd carries him to the top. Or Warren get's the backing of the female vote, or Buttigege can pull his fans together and stay near the top. As the election in 2016 showed, polls and guessing don't make a president.
