‘No One Is Ever Really Ready’ Death with Dignity

DenoPenno comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Funeral homes do not like me. When I die I am going to be cremated plain and simple. Death with dignity? There is no such thing. It's an invention of funeral homes to make more money.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 29, 2018:

@JackPedigo I see your point and both you and your wife are doing a noble thing. What I refer to is the horrible deaths that so many of us have in the end and funeral homes pushing their "death with dignity" thing by throwing a little more money at it. They bring god into the picture to justify all this. When the local funeral home found out I'm atheist the owner told me he didn't "have enough faith to be atheist." My mother did not have an easy death and it had no dignity.

A young man in the Northwest claimed he was not racist at all, he just didn't think that black man should be in the White House. "Black" does not bother or threaten me. I cannot argue the political mess of today with titles of "Obama and Hillary." On the other hand, if you want to fact check 45 just follow his many daily tweets. Yes, there is a record of this. Just follow it and go way back bringing all of his lies up to date. You might learn something.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 29, 2018:

You do have the free will to be raped. The rapist also has the free will to do the raping. The big problem with "free will" is that believers claim so desperately that you have to have it in order for their god to save you because it is supposed to be entirely your choice. It is so important to them and religion in general, but this same god knows in advance how everything is going to turn out, but he doesn't want a single one to perish. Put that piece of relish together.

@Liberty Crucifixion was a method of execution. Many people may have been executed during the time Jesus was supposed to have lived but there is no proof of a biblical Jesus being executed at any time. An audience before Pilot and a big to do about the whole affair, even a soldier declaring the dead man was "the son of god", and then a special burial in a tomb. There is no public record at all of this and if it happened there should be. Instead we have nothing. What is pagan? The term "pagan" is used to describe any religion other than your own.

Obviously if you are knocked out in order to sleep you are not in control. As an alcoholic I had zero drinks yesterday. I had 2 drinks the day before that.

@m0752532706 When I was in Kenya I traveled with ease and one attorney there in Uganda House thought I was from the UK. My future wife and I had business there one day and she told me you have to leave passports and ID with the guards. They gave mine back immediately and kept hers until I said "she's with me" and they gave hers back also. The attorney upstairs was nice and kind and did not even charge for his advice and notary services. He might have been wrong in pegging me as UK (my real last name would make you think that) but he guessed my wife's tribe immediately. I found that Kenyans have a unique ability to do that just by watching and hearing others. One thing to get used to there is that you see police and soldiers carrying weapons. UK does this at Heathrow but I was in a Kenyan supermarket one day buying milk and the soldier next to me also buying milk had a fully loaded machine gun. You get used to it.

@William_Mary You have some very good points that I agree on. For one thing, I see both political parties having some split within and not knowing what to do. That part is really scary. Hating Trump is a natural with me. His tweets are the biggest lies of contradiction I have ever seen. As for Facebook, don't sell their influence short. They have changed since the election but they had posts by trolls who wanted everyone to favor Trump. You have to consider how many in America read things in Facebook. This is why I say Hillary did not sabotage her own campaign. She did, however, have an iron control that hurt the entire DNC and they were caught off guard. Put it all together and Trump won by electoral vote.

@William_Mary I don't have the link but there is a list of Mueller charges for most people he has investigated and is taking to court so far. These people want to make plea deals.. Trump wants to make plea deals. That's what his lawyers are doing when it is plain they do not want Trump answering questions in front of Mueller. What are they afraid of? Is the orange man going to incriminate himself? Most likely he would. Now the GOP claims his revoking of security clearances is because Trump found out about this deep plot against him and wants to stop Mueller's investigation. People forget that Trump just might be angry. I think he is angry and afraid. He vows to destroy those who are against him. Who's going down here? It's people that have surrounded Trump. The man won't just STF up and let Mueller do his investigation. That's what the rest of us should do too.

Florida Mayor Issues Proclamation Calling for 40 Days of Fasting and Prayer – Friendly Atheist

@lakegirl84 I live in a similar area in Missouri. I love living here but most people think Trumpsky is god. I either ignore them or for certain ones I call them stupid. If we talk politics I challenge them to answer about Trump without talking Hillary, Obama, or AIG insurance. My challenge is that most of them can't do it. I must be right because it shuts them up.

On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach.

"Looking for a partner in crime" "Work hard and play harder" (exhausting again! Plus sounds painful) But actually what really weirds me out is "just an average guy looking for an average girl," like, you are going to ADMIT that? Lol.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 11, 2018:

A partner in crime. I don't commit crimes. I see those on forensic TV shows who were partners in crime and in the end they go to different prisons. Just sayin'.

I do like long walks on the beach. I used to live near the ocean and I walked on the beach often. I did that once with my last boyfriend. I think that people pretend. Unlike the guy who just posted below me, I do not recommend sex on the beach. Would you to sandpaper your privates?

Sexual Compatibility - How better to phrase it?

PalacinkyPDX comments on Jul 23, 2018:

It's not just sex, it's also the smell, taste and touch of the other person. Does their voice turn you on? How does staring into their eyes feel? Some of these are very animal reactions to another person even if they're filtered though the human intellect. Personally, if I don't like someone's smell...

DenoPenno replies on Aug 10, 2018:

You are very correct on smell, touch, and taste. If you spend time apart in separation these areas might change and it adds to possibility of permanent separation. Humans are also animals. Intimacy depends a lot on these areas.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 9, 2018:

@Wurlitzer Yes. Sometimes it's just a translational thing but it makes you wonder if people are using it today to distance themselves from what is happening to the immigrants. I know a right wing Christian family that plainly says "Jesus would not approve or all the handouts." They must have a different bible maybe.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 9, 2018:

I'm with you on that one and you have hit it all exactly. The only difference is that in America they think they have some mystical and pure blood line that puts them in a category with bred cows, horses, dogs, and other animals. The stupidity is that they forget those animals were bred that way. Humans have no such pure race or blood.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 9, 2018:

@Electro68 Revelation 20:1-2. Chained for a thousand years but again it is a future time. What makes the entire biblical myth ridiculous is that we have 66 books joined together to make a story and none of those books were written with plans of being bound together that way. Christians forget this coz they have to know all, and they have to have a story. It's all made up!

Trump's ability to freely borrow money is needed to promote his "brand" and further his name and interests. Aligning with Russia may mean he can continue to borrow from them.
