DenoPenno replies on Jan 25, 2019:

@RobertMartin Why would a party be to blame when an ignorant man shuts down the government? Trump said he would be proud to shut it down if he did not get his money, so he shut it down. That's pretty plain and it is not how to negotiate. Now he has caved and government will re-open. Who knows the mind of Donald Trump? Trump himself cannot answer that because he lies too much.

@genessa I find it strange that some think the left has caused a loss of civil liberties when such liberties did not arrive through the right.

If all demon possession was mental illness you have to ask why there is less possession in more industrialized countries. Being poor does not cause mental illness.

When I got married my wife was a Methodist. Kind of a middle of the road thing. I was non religious and she knew it, but married me anyway. Later on she turned into a Jehovahs Witness. No warning , just woke up and then she was transformed. It went downhill from there. Now we are no longer ...

DenoPenno replies on Jan 8, 2019:

This happened because a wise-assed pastor or otherwise religious person told her of oxen and cattle and being "un-equally yoked." They take this very seriously and convinced her to divorce you if you would not convert. I call it "un-equally joked."

I realized something the other day.

@mordant I simply counter it with disbelief and lack of evidence. Due to having been fooled about religion in my earlier life I also have scorn.

Very true, and the unspeakable name is translated as "jealous" in some areas to where Jealous is the actual name of god.

I am able to see an d remember many things in my life that I do not like now and I once did like. Some as recent as 2014. How long will it be before this young woman decides she has ruined her body by being tattooed a "filthy cunt?" If someone was kidnapping these people and tattooing them this way he would likely get life in prison.

Why should she be..

@LetzGetReal I never said that the commercials or the content was the same. I am not making a comparison. Before the Orange Clown was elected and we mostly all liked CNN the comment I made about RT being Rusia's version of CNN was used by some reviewers. I know the content is different and I do like it. Sometimes I watch RT because I get news from all over.

DenoPenno replies on Jan 4, 2019:

@TomMcGiverin People are so ate up today that they will set around a dinner table and text each other. They would also prefer to do a job interview as a text. My oldest daughter is 54 and she will text you until you get enough to make up a letter. Why not just e-mail a letter in the first place? Recently a person got my cell number and was so happy that now we could text each other. Why? I've even seen ads from women wanting to have a "text buddy." Words on a screen do not excite me. AI can do that. I'm also resistant on words like "ur." I will not ask you what happened to "ur" car.

The Psychology Of Materialism, And Why It's Making You Unhappy | HuffPost Life

linxminx comments on Jan 4, 2019:

Great article, and I so agree with its message! Materialism seems to be fueled by competitive and insecure natures and personalities. So, I have to ask, why are we Americans so competitive and insecure?

DenoPenno replies on Jan 4, 2019:

Apparently because our neighbor and friend has it and we don't. What is "it" that they have? It might be a new car or phone, or a brand new $1400 computer that is no bigger than a kindle. (I saw one of those 2 days ago and I don't give a "truck." LOL) Materialism has now turned us into a nation of goods and services.

Do Science & Religion Conflict Over Morality?

DenoPenno comments on Dec 28, 2018:
