A long time ago, in San Diego. Honestly, they were nice, very sharing people. An older couple that feed anyone of their friends or followers and ran a small, successful business linked to clothing and costume designing. Anyway, they seemed in action and dress a lot like christians only with a different spiritual bent. Not my cup of tea. They did have good weed.

Juliet Brophy: How a new species of ancestors is changing our theory of human evolution | TED Talk

Beowulfsfriend comments on May 15, 2019:

A lot more sapiens lived than the non science young earthers want to believe. They just started, relatively, to buy the existence of dinosaurs (GeeZeus rode one), but other humans?????? One thing about the catholics, they may be pedos and pedo protectors, but they (excluding the Santorum ones) do buy into evolution. The new Pope even said at least two other humanoid species had souls. Now, he implied they were human, as some Sapiens sapiens carry their DNA, however, catholic doctrine says all animals have souls, but only humans go to heaven.

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern on America’s gun policy: ‘I do not understand the United States’

Beowulfsfriend comments on May 15, 2019:

Yep. The "old west" mentality. Pennsylvania legislation now going through our Congress would allow no need for a concealed weapons' permit. Our current governor won't sign, but still. Our state is controlled by a rigged system to give the interior more power to balance out the large population centers on either side. Personally, I like Finland's approach- a place with nearly as many per capita guns as here (they have big bears). They limit pistols; have no semi-automatic weapons; and EVERYONE who wants a weapon, must go through intense training; oh, yea, and background checks. BUT, ALL people CAN own a gun - constitutionally (they also neighbor Russia - another big bear).

And these people call themselves Christians.
