MojoDave comments on Dec 29, 2018:

He's building a wall 'cuz he's a racist, and many of his followers are racist. His claims of tons of drugs, criminals, terrorists, and lots of disease are pure BS. Excuses to build a wall to keep Hispanics out! He's a criminal, a pathological liar, a racist, a coward, and a bully. What'd I forget?

Carin replies on Dec 29, 2018:

I've read that only 18% of illegals even get here by sneaking across the border--not sure if T.Rump knows that or believes it's true. I really think this is mostly him playing to his racist fan base & creating further polarization between the parties.

Carin replies on Dec 22, 2018:

I so relate--cheating doesn't usually happen without other factors, does it? My husband was uncaring, inconsiderate & dishonest, & he ignored all my efforts to communicate with him about the harm he was doing. Eventually he basically forced me to stop loving him. I also stopped wanting sex with him (it became an almost physical aversion) from all the emotional hurt I think, though at the time I blamed myself or my hormones. Anyway, this made him feel entitled to cheat in the most unforgivable ways imaginable. By the time we got to marriage counseling no amount of communication could save us. I'm happier now than I've been in decades. I'm only sorry I wasted over a year going to counseling with him, & that I can't end things on bad terms. He certainly deserves to have his life ruined (& I could easily do it) but we have 2 minor children & a adult daughter.

So I needed to get tape for wrapping, but this made me go home and look harder.

Carin replies on Dec 17, 2018:

They are filthy & their underpaid employees are more concerned with working as fast as they can so they don't get fired from their miserable jobs, than they are about your health. The places I worked in didn't wash most things except salad, spinach & leeks. We were expressly forbidden to wash other things. & if the meat fell on the floor it was too expensive to throw out. If the customer was lucky it was rinsed off. Fancy places were the worst about that as the meat was pricier. A dropped fast food burger might be tossed (depending on the manager on duty) but the fancy chefs were also in charge of purchasing & expected to keep costs down, so prime rib or lobster would never be wasted. Our immune systems are truly amazing.

Carin replies on Dec 16, 2018:

Actually, people in 3rd world countries do have very high rates of diseases spread by dirty water. Young children & infants are especially prone to dying of diarrheal diseases. I imagine the ones that survive to adulthood would have better resistance than people like us who were raised with cleaner water & food, but they still get serious diseases. Their extremely high birth rates may make it seem otherwise, but people there are not enjoying good health, & they have shorter lives.

Have you research the difference between the two? Boys are just cutting the forskin off, girls their clitoris is cut up or out so they get no pleasure from sex. Worlds apart girls have died from theirs boys have not!

Carin replies on Dec 13, 2018:

@creative51 There are also little boys maimed each year--some lose their penis entirely. There's a book called "As God Made Him" (no religion in the book so don't let the title put you off) about just such a boy. It ruined his life. Sadly, he killed himself some time after the book was written. It's a well written & eye opening book--I highly recommend it.

I’m against circumcisions.

@creative51 True but each of those babies was somebody's beloved child who died for no reason except ignorance. Every circumcision death is preventable--it's cosmetic surgery, plain & simple.

If they throw you to the wolves the next step is the digestive system. After that you come back as little clumps on the ground. The only pack you'll be leading will be dung beetles.

Carin replies on Dec 13, 2018:

That would likely be my fate.

I’m against circumcisions.

JessZ comments on Dec 12, 2018:

I am a strong supporter of genital autonomy as well. Both of my sons are intact. There is no concrete reason for doing it, other than aesthetics. (Unless it is truly medically necessary, [i.e. phimosis, etc.] which isn't very often.)

Carin replies on Dec 13, 2018:

I can't imagine subjecting my baby boys to that either! We are so careful to not poke them with diaper pins or hurt them in any way--yet we should have a part of their genitals peeled loose & cut off? Just doesn't make sense.

I’m against circumcisions.

Carin replies on Dec 13, 2018:

Sadly, over 100 little boys die from complications of circumcision every year in the US alone. I'm not arguing that the procedures are the same--obviously FGM is much worse--but why mutilate any children at all?

I wonder when the left will give up its revenge fantasy and return to a political persuasion I can ...

Hi Guys.

How long did your longest relationship last? And why did it end?

sewchick57 comments on Dec 12, 2018:

22 years. I got tired of the lies and bullshit and kicked him out and got a divorce.

Carin replies on Dec 12, 2018:

@sewchick57 I drove about 3,000 miles in about 4 days with 2 kids, a dog, 2 frogs, a large catfish & some plants....only casualties were some of the plants. It made it a lot harder to leave--a lot more planning. But now we all have company.

Things that allosexuals sing about that I am pretty sure an ace wouldn't sing about.

escapetypist comments on Dec 11, 2018:

Does that mean my penis is an enormous clitoris?

Carin replies on Dec 12, 2018:

Yes.

Carin replies on Dec 12, 2018:

I gave up a lot when I left too, but I haven't regretted a thing.

JackPedigo comments on Dec 12, 2018:

16 wonderful years. After several committed, long-term relationships I found an ideal, loving partner. She died from a brain tumor but went happy and with a smile.

Carin replies on Dec 12, 2018:

I'm so sorry you lost her.

Are you relationship material? Would you date YOU? [rebelcircus.com]

Xanadutoo comments on Dec 12, 2018:

What is this thing with cats,why do you want these bird killing machines?

Carin replies on Dec 12, 2018:

I only keep mine indoors. People can't let dogs, pigs, or other domestic animals run loose. I'm not sure why cats are the only exception I can think of except domestic pigeons & maybe chickens which might leave the owners' property. If wildlife is a problem for people the responsible thing is to exclude them from your property, not let non-native predators torture them to death.

So many possibilities!

@FrayedBear Not just asbestos either.... & I read that Trump just weakened some laws that protected people from asbestos though I don't know the details.

A good loyal woman ?

MissKathleen comments on Dec 10, 2018:

It just takes a smart man.

Carin replies on Dec 10, 2018:

Yeah, I don't like the term "real man" (or "real woman" either) because we are all real. It can be just another way of just reinforcing gender stereotypes. Smart is a much better word.

This time of year can be sad for mateless people.

azzow2 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

Was reading too fast and had to stop and start over because my mind read meatless and was thinking that you were going to say veterinarians were having it tough this time of year lol.

Carin replies on Dec 9, 2018:

Veterinarians or vegetarians? Don't worry about us veg heads, we do fine. I can't speak for veterinarians though...

I normally don't post stuff like this, but... 😍

Piratefish comments on Dec 9, 2018:

90% of white men are good human beings and have fuck all to do with oppression, racism, sexism, or misogyny. Yet I get to hear about how shitty white men are an an almost daily basis. Seems fair.

Carin replies on Dec 9, 2018:

But how many of them will also let their buddies know that their behavior towards women is unacceptable? Silence is almost the same thing as condoning oppression.

Rain in LA. Love it or hate it?

Sticks48 comments on Nov 29, 2018:

I don't believe it is a matter of hate or love, but necessity.

No message intended. I just thought that this was funny.
