About eight bottles of water every day and "Yerba Mate" tea.

Amazes me how most believers reason everything...BUT religion.

When I was a kid, hardly anyone talked about plastic surgery.

DUCHESSA comments on May 2, 2018:

Well, when you were a kid botox was not a technique in use. I am all for plastic surgery if this is what makes the person feels better....the same goes for contact lenses vs eyeglasses. Anyway, there are many Mother Nature mistakes that plastic surgery solves in minutes....like laser surgery to change an uni-brow into two...and preventing the bullying this will certainly bring upon the kids.

How do I stop a colleague from imposing her religious views without offending her?

DUCHESSA comments on May 2, 2018:

Today, at the supermarket, a person who overheard me speaking in Spanish, placed on top of my bags about 20 little prayer cards. I picked all the little cards and I said to her, in English and in Spanish, "These belong in the garbage." and proceeded to trow them in the garbage can after ripping them into small pieces. This intrusive person started to point her finger at me...which earned her a laud "Keep your finger in your a... or I will call the police for harassment." She left in a piff

Shawn and I broke up.

DUCHESSA comments on May 2, 2018:

To those guys who say "It doesn't feel the same." your answer should be "Then, do your mommy." and to those who say "I am too big." you should retaliate with "I must be myopic". :)

Does anyone have advice for a person that's been an atheist less than 3 months?

DUCHESSA comments on May 2, 2018:

Don't listen to those saying "You will go to hell / god will punish you / I will pry for you..." Is all bulls..t. Walk away from these ignorant people...and if they insist threaten them with harassment.

Holy shit.

Does No Kids = Bad Person?

DUCHESSA comments on May 1, 2018:

Do people pay your bills? No. Well, then, they should keep to themselves whatever way they see you. At the brilliant age of 10 y/o I said "I will never have kids." I shocked everybody in the family and, years later...when I repeated my words among friends...I shocked them as well. I have been told I was a savage, less than a woman, a whore...even a basket case for not wanting kids. I didn't give a piff. I was married 28 years and no kids. People have a "lovely" tendency to vest their decisions and wishes on their friends and relatives...with total disregard for their friends / relatives feelings and beliefs.

Religious friends keep sending me religious text?

I think our country is now under the rule of morons.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 30, 2018:

The liberal / lefties are as much against illegals as is Trump...but they use this issue because their hate for the president; only those with a very personal agenda want millions of people -whose background and health status are unknown- to enter the country I know these people are human beings and treated like dirt in their own countries...but I am f...g tired of solving other nations' problems while their rules pocket the money.

What is your legitimate evidence that Trump is Racist?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 28, 2018:

Whenever i hear / read Trump is a racist I REMEMBER THE REACTION OF MATT DRAYTON (Spencer Tracy)...THE ALL LIBERAL GUY WHEN HIS DAUGHTER BRINGS HER BLACK FIANCE (Sydney Poitier) OVER. "WHO IS COMING FOR DINER? " Great movie.

How do you handle people who tell you that they will keep praying for you?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 28, 2018:

I usually answer them with a strong aentence such as "Better pray for your brain...is corroded."

I read that Texas is trying to make masturbation illegal for men today.1984 is here isn't it ?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 28, 2018:

Please, read a lil more about this law. Is not about outlawing masturbation but about the right of a woman to abort If she so wants. See, theY brand a woman as a killer if she aborts but men ...who dump half a kid in the toilet once a week (GUYS, DON'T BRAG) IS SEEN AS NORMAL.

What are the best ways you know to help someone build self esteem?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 27, 2018:

It all depends on what is bringing that person's self esteem down. Lest say a girl with a huge nose has been bullied all the time because she is not # 10. The only way to solve her problem is plastic surgery....and whoever says "no" didn't meet one of my former students....neither heard what her classmates used to say to her.

Do you think that it is wrong to require children to be vaccinated?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 25, 2018:

No, is not wrong to require they are vaccinated. See. a child could become sick because he wasn't vaccinated. Fine, let the parents deal with the problem....but what if this child endangers the lives of other kids?

I was just listening to a npr show about the guy who ran down all those people in Toronto.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Well, then, we must teach a course on "Why men are rejected". The topics to be develop are: 1. I am a nice man so women shouldn't reject me. 2. I wear my lunch on top of my belt but women shouldn't reject me. 3. My dentist needs to re-study "How to make fitting dentures so I don't spit on the lady I am talking to"...but women shouldn't reject me. 4. I shouldn't take the only three hair left over on my scalp and bring them over my forehead -fan shape- and I shouldn't glue them to prevent the air blowing them out of place....but women shouldn't reject me. 5. Although accidents happens, the flatulence shouldn't shoot out of my ass...e at the speed of the light....shouldn't smell too bad either....but women shouldn't reject me. 6. I shouldn't tell her that her schooling was a waste of time since she was only supposed to marry and to have five kids....but she shouldn't reject me. 7. I shouldn't make negative comments about equal pay for equal job....but she shouldn't reject me. 8. I shouldn't say things such as "Many women get high paying salaries because they f...k their bosses....but women shouldn't reject me. 9. I shouldn't say that women with kids are not the best ones to marry...and that my kids are adorable...but she shouldn't reject me. 10. I am the youngest of five boys and my mother's favorite...but women shouldn't reject me...

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 25, 2018:

The people pro "make abortion illegal " are hilarious; no because they are defending what's not there but because they are convinced these laws will stop women from interrupting an unwanted pregnancy. THEY HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY STUPID TO THINK THESE ANTI-ABORTION LAWS WILL PREVENT A WOMAN FROM GOING TO A COUNTRY WHERE TO ABORT IS LEGAL.....specially in Europe where distances are a lot shorter than in USA.

Atheist principles - would atheists be interested in listing basic atheist principles?

I think it's appalling that religion is taught at schools, brainwashing young children.

Have u ever convinced a religious person that what they believe is all myth and does not make sense?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 21, 2018:

No....because I don't waste intelligent time trying to convert a person; I believe the conversion must be self-made to be meaningful. Without reasoning it would be the replacement of one belief by another.;

Should Religion Be Taught in Schools?

So, what happens on Nude beaches? I'm sure people get aroused? Asking for a friend..

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 20, 2018:

If a guy gets "in shape" and he is a decent person...he goes to the water and refreshes himself; he wouldn't be the first...nor the last...to experience this. He also can turn over his butt to the sun and wait until his erection goes away. No drinking / drugs in the beaches. Getting aroused in a nude resort may get him banned. No, there is not sexual acrivity in the nude beaches...here, in Australia, Argentina or in Europe.
