[yahoo.com] Trump has no choice but to land a trade deal with China. Doesn't want a bear market.
Barnie2years comments on Jun 1, 2019:
Are you kidding? A roller coaster stock market for those behind the scenes is as good as winning the lottery! Get everybody all excited with juiced up economic numbers, sell your stocks on the crest, then create turmoil with trade disputes, fabricated fears, stocks go down. Go on a buying spree, settle everything, get the good news out and they sail back up so you can sell and reap the profits. Thump loves buying in a distressed market, he announced that back in 2008.

Barnie2years comments on May 25, 2019:
In doing research on taking my pup to Canada for a visit I discovered that while they only require the dogs to have all the major vaccinations, they have regulations against bringing Pitbulls and their mix breeds into the country. There are many cities in the US where they are forbidden as well. While that’s a shame for people who own well behaved ones, and I understand that they are fiercely loyal dogs and very protective, as you point out, when they go rogue they are ferocious killers of whatever they target.
My grandma had her appointment with the super specialist today and we got really really bad news.
Barnie2years comments on May 24, 2019:
Ultimately, you have to respect your grandmother's wishes. Watching a slow dying process is difficult, but at least it allows you to say your goodbyes. Those who die suddenly, in an accident or a health issue, there is always the feeling of not having said how you feel or being able to express your feelings while they can still hear you. As hard as it is, if you have her under hospice care, they generally have the person sedated and minimize their pain, unlike the treatments which are only designed to keep the body alive, not pain free. Watching death is not an easy thing, I watched my 15 month old son die from complications with leukemia, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. But know she will be comforted by your presence if you choose to be by her side, and don't feel bad if for some reason you are not there when she doesn't take that last breath, as long as you left her know how much you care before she takes it.

Barnie2years comments on May 20, 2019:
The wonderful thing about religion is it’s total lack of standards. The Bible, having been a compilation of centuries of legends, tales and mysticism, lends itself to untold interpretations. Basically, you can read into whatever you like and any con artist can find gullible people they can convince that their interpretation is the true one. It allows every tribe, from the Amish to the snake handlers and everything in between to think they are the chosen and the only ones with the moral high ground. Are there non believers who don’t favor abortion? Of course! But the issue isn’t what you believe, it is the right of women to decide their body and how it is used. Anything else just relegates them to incubators. Life begins at birth. But the religious argument the every fertilized egg is sacred was the same argument used for years to forbid male masturbation: every sperm is sacred and possibly life producing. Except for some branches, most Christians have abandoned that ideology, but certainly not all of them. The best explanation was done by Monty Python in the Meaning of Life. https://youtu.be/fUspLVStPbk

Is depression more common in people people with higher IQ?
Barnie2years comments on May 18, 2019:
If you’re foolish enough to believe in a deity and an after life, perhaps it’s easier to deal with the issues of life. It’s one of the reasons for religion in the first place: keeping people at the bottom of the economy, and those suffering infirmities, content with their status in the expectation that their next one will be better. Those smart enough to not accept the fairytales are forced to deal with life as it is and a constant drive to improve their life. Failure to do that can leave you depressed and feeling hopeless if you are prone to those issues. It is to a certain extent genetic I believe as well.

Most of my friends, and most of the small number of organizations I belong to are steeped in religion and I have to deal with prayers and such on a regular basis. The have done nothing to convince me that there is any imaginary friend watching over them, or that prayer is anything more than a wish and just as useful.

Let's see: The Amish don't drink beer, wear bikinis, often mistreat their animals. They do love Jesus, but dress funny and refuse to serve in the military, don't fly flags on their property. Guess we should get rid of all them too. I would also point out that the Puritans were torturing women they thought were witches and killing them, why did we let them stay. All kinds of ways to respond that are simply pointing out the obvious and won't faze anyone who feels like your aquaintance anyway. But it's good to bring things up, unless it's someone you are close too and would rather sneak up on the suject over a longer time period.

Barnie2years comments on May 5, 2019:
A coworker of mine was working a Lyft gig at a large college town. She picked up a group of dark skinned guys talking a foreign language. One of them said Allah Akbar and suddenly she was in a panic that she had a car full of terrorists and was considering calling the cops. I, and several others explained to her it was simply a Muslim greeting much the same as she would say “God bless you” (she is very Christian). Amazing how much things change when someone from a different religious ethnic group does exactly what you do everyday to non believers. It suddenly becomes a thing to fear and makes you feel threatened.

Barnie2years comments on Apr 15, 2019:
I’ve hated peas since I started eating actual food. No one taught me to. I agree with the other people who say we are born with both and which one dominates is both genetic and learned, both by experience (if a dog bites you when you are little, you will probably hate dogs) and through teaching (if you were raised in a racist family with little interaction with other cultures and people, chances are you will he a hateful racist). Same with love, it’s there, just has to be nurtured, especially if it is not the dominant emotion.
What’s your opinion on open carry?
Barnie2years comments on Apr 13, 2019:
Is open carry worse than concealed carry? If the person has a gun on his belt, visible to everyone, you are going to be watching their every move. With concealed carry, you are not going to know they have it, so if they have bad intentions you get less time to react. In Pennsylvania anyone can open carry. To legally carry concealed you need a permit, which is easily obtained as long as you don’t have a felony record. Just remember, if someone has bad intentions, the person carrying open will be the first target, or the person who saves the day. I never open carry, don’t want the attention.

Barnie2years comments on Apr 12, 2019:
Trump is not the disease, he is just the most visible symptom. Republican trolls who constantly post that Obama started the racism are right in a manner of speaking. The election of a black man to the presidency scared the large minority of racists in this country into organizing and getting their hateful messages out to recruit more fearful white supremists into their ranks. And Trump’s announcement of his presidential run which trashed immigrants touched right to the heart of their hatred and let them know they could elect one of their own to the lead the country, even though no one actually thought he could win. But dirty deals, huge money, voter suppression, division in the Democratic Party put this Orange Buffoon into office. If the Democrats can’t coalesce behind one candidate and one primary message, Trump just might get four more years to totally bankrupt the country, not only financially, but morally.

Barnie2years comments on Mar 26, 2019:
A study of the ebb and flow of religiosity would take volumes and still be incomplete due to great gaps in written history and the understanding of the events and societies at various times of cataclysmic changes in spirituality. On more recent histories, the French Revolution, where the God anointed Royals were put to the guillotine by the masses fed up with their religiously prescribed lot comes to mind. In the East, the Russian Orthodoxy is making somewhat of a comeback after decades of suppression under Communism (again, the people’s uprising against the supposedly God appointed Czar and royalty) and current leaderships embrassing of the religion for its own purposes. In the grand scheme of things, religion has always been used as a means to control the masses by those who lead them. The Christian faith and bible were not widespread until the Roman Cesar, I believe Constantine (too lazy to look it up) decided to consolidate various Christian texts into one which would give him the “Godly ordained” power to rule over his Empire. It was such a great rendition of these texts that it has held more or less ever since. Right sadly until this very present time, with Evangelicals belief that Trump was chosen by their God to lead the United States back into its God ordained place in the world.

Barnie2years comments on Mar 22, 2019:
I used to think of Atheists as Fundamentalists non-believers, ie, radical. So for years I preferred to refer to my non belief as Agnostic. I have since realized that Atheists, like most other personal beliefs, come in astronomical varieties, from the militant to the closeted. So I now proudly assume the Atheists designation and as a sidebar, have become somewhat more critical of the religious stranglehold in this country. Even more so since The Orange Diety assumed office and takes the country down the sewer hole of theocracy.
Atheism is just another religion.

Only someone who has no idea what Atheism is, has never really been around non believers, and been brainwashed by his religion would even put forth such an ignorant list of things Atheists never do.

Forty-two percent of non-white respondents said they had personally experienced white nationalism in the military, as opposed to only 18 percent of white respondents. Thirty percent of all respondents said white nationalists posed a significant threat to national security, more than Syria, which only 27 percent of respondents described as a national security threat. Nearly 5 percent of respondents wrote comments complaining that groups like Black Lives Matter should have been included as national security threats, the Military Times reported.

It is the exact reason people buy cheap goods produced in China rather than those made by decent paid workers in the USA. When you look at the millions paid to CEO’s and compare it to $8 or less an hour paid to the people sweating it out in the worst conditions (again to save money), they could get a pretty good raise and the CEO might have to sell one of his yachts to cover it. Love the Roosevelt quote! Industry moguls I am sure hated him.

When I was in one of the singles groups my alert box was always full. So many of the posts were just people posting daily greetings, pictures of their morning coffee, basically anything to build up point totals. I got tired of it and left the group. My alerts are much more manageable now!
Which group of people would be more likely to help those in need... theists, agnostics or atheists?

As with most things, there is not one answer. There are generous, loving people in all three categories, just as there are greedy assholes in all categories. Without research which might be difficult to find, given that most charitable organizations don't ask, nor do they care, what you believe in when you send them money, actual numbers could be hard to come by. Given that hundreds of theist charitable organizations exist for every secular one, it makes it even harder to trace the beliefs of those who donate. I have read of non believers being turned away when they tried to volunteer to work for church related charitable organizations. But my guess these are a aberration rather than a norm.
Can I just work here for awhile as support staff? [lifeisbeautiful.me]

I guess you have to be body waxed to get a job here, or they would need to wear a mesh net leotard! ?
Cuddling up to my bed buddy.

Electric blanket turned on 15 to 20 minutes before crawling under the sheets. Gets the cold toes warmed up quick.
This is how windy it was on the Hamilton Skyway Bridge. [facebook.com]

I can’t believe they are allowing high trucks to cross. When they have wind that strong coming into the side of the bridge they should hold trucks until it subsides. They do it here in PA under high wind conditions. I recall several times trucks pulling mobile homes across a high bridge flipped over.

I love this woman! She is the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party since JFK was elected.
How many of you have had Shingles?

My father had in his lower back. It did permanent damage to his spine and leg.
It's puzzled me why Guiado seems to have the right to become president of Venezuela.

I had to look up the Vargas Tragedy (they should have a link in the text). Seems like a decent politician. Can't believe Meduro hasn't eliminated him somehow. The country is a mess, regardless of who is in charge.
Washing car triggers storms

Worst case: One time I spent a couple of hours on a nice sunny day, not only hand washing, but also waxing my truck. This was a most unusual event, since I tend to rarely do more than run it through a car wash. All proud of my handiwork, I set off for a destination, I no longer remember. I was traveling at highway speed down the four lane, when I suddenly realized I was passing the exit I wanted to get off! So last minute, a quick move over to the ramp, right through an enormous mud puddle where the road spit! Mud flew everywhere! My shinny truck looked ten times worse than it did in the morning before I spent hours of sweat cleaning it up! ? Needless to say, there have been even less hand washing let alone waxing since. Drive through is plenty clean enough, and I get a free wash coupon at my dealership every time I get it serviced, so win/win!
Yes I voted for her & yes I think this is funny as hell! ????

I’m guessing he hears that a lot! ?
