Beowulfsfriend comments on Jan 2, 2022:

I need to watch this. I will try and check back later. Without watching, I can tell you how it will end - by 2040, Taiwan will be a part of China, if not sooner. I just hope Xi waits. He has become a wildcard, now that he has been granted Presidency for life and been placed on a level with Mao.

Most likely for sex - and yet certain contraceptives affect and reduce some women's menstrual cycles; I would even bet that a quick look on line would show other possible medical uses. All that said - she is having sex is the most likely solution. Early in my teaching career, I worked at a catholic high school. We got sent a nun, for a year; Sister David was a bit eccentric as a teacher, no big deal, but she used to host men from Africa, and from the stories, she really hosted them well - they had happy endings.

Nothing is 100% safe or effective. It is not an either or situation. Delta and Omicron are mutations that slip through - bound to happen sometimes. That said, I prefer and feel safer with a vaccine. Most deaths are the unvaxxed. BTW, I highly doubt ALL the hockey players, especially those not in the NHL are vaccinated. Time to see this pandemic for what it is: WORLDWIDE. Too many in the "1st world" think fixing themselves saves themselves - it doesn't, especially when not enough here even care about others. Parts of Africa are less than 10% vaxxed, thus, lots of more variants to come; hopefully they will lessen in severity. People are "tired" of Covid; it isn't going away, no god nor government can snap it gone. Settle in for the long haul.

The reason the Morons changed about black people in heaven occurred in 1978, after the last President with balls to call out religious groups threatened to pull their tax exempt status. Then, suddenly, the latest prophet, or what ever the fuck they call their leader, had a vision from god changing that rule.

That was an absolutely stupid thing to do. I am not sure what the teacher's learning objectives were for that project. The Holocaust was a horrible thing. The school where I used to work, and where my kids attended, did readings and assignments and toured the DC museum in Middle School. It was a well planned learning experience on many levels. Parents were made a part as well. There were always speakers too. The Holocaust needs to be taught; it must be taught; but, judgement on age appropriate material and projects is necessary.

The thing is 90% of the world's wealth is in less than 10% of the population. Another good idea - reset all debt. Go to zero. That was a pretty common practice worldwide approximately every 2nd generation, until the age of colonization.

There are even Amish dating sites online. They have electricity in their businesses so they cam compete and in their barns to keep the milk cold. They just can't bring electric stuff into their homes. The construction companies that they run,etc, hire drivers snd keep vans. They also drink. They just don't usually do so with the "English." I remember one guy who used to come to a certain bar in the early evening and control the pool table, with his own stick (never played for money, but if he did he would have cashed in). When I was 19, I went to an Amish rumspringa party - they ran electric cords about 300 yards or so to the barn snd had an Amish cover band playing Rock and Roll with electric guitars and amps, etc. And a couple kegs as well.
