Somebody saw Adam and Eve eating apples. "Forbidden fruit" does not translate into apples. If it did then we have to all be sinners for eating apples or for just disobeying god. Either way the story is pretty silly. Using your eyewitness viewpoint lets move along to the chronicled events of Jesus and his 40 days and 40 nights in the desert. Who recorded this event? Let's get right into Jesus and the Devil and the temptation to jump off a high mountain (the temple in other versions) and ask who recorded that. BTW, the bible says nothing about dinosaurs because the writers knew nothing of dinosaurs.

Ukraine: Where the West got it wrong?

DenoPenno comments on May 11, 2022:

As more and more "facts" disappear from the Internet it looks like many of us could get it wrong. My cry at this time goes back to - "prove it." Ukraine is not a part of Russia and by standing with Russia you've got it wrong. OK, I give in. All this death and destruction was needed and the video I saw of a crying woman holding a dead person's head is haunting me for no reason. That's right. All that was left was the head. But Putin needed to do this and even a Jewish leader can be a Nazi so now take me back to another time in the past. Our past or their's. It's distraction anyway. Once you work through the distraction you forget the horrible truth of right now.

I'm so amazed that everyone is now a scientist and have put on their MAGA thinking hats to tell us what vaccines can do to hurt you and how these were developed to fast, etc., etc. My daughter is a nurse and also one of these. Every other day I hear a story of how being vaccinated caused autism or some other bullshit thing. Was it the vaccine or the needle? There is fear of both. I think that I do have something left over after Covid. This might be because I am aware of my body and we have not had a SARS type like this Covid before. The best I know at 75 is that the disease did not kill me and I have been vaccinated my entire life.

It shows me that the deck has been stacked in advance. Those claiming religion win. As for ID, I used to ride around with a cop in a small town years ago. For the record he kept a notebook with time, date, and names of those we saw out on the streets late at night. It was assumed they had to show ID, and he explained to them that if no mischief was reported later within that time frame and location there was no problem.

Maybe the blue states where abortion is legal, should put clinics at the airport ?

DenoPenno comments on May 8, 2022:

This entire abortion shift will put more need for the abortion pill. They will try to stop that pill, of course, but the end result will be that there is less surgical abortions. This works all the way around except for cases where a miscarry requires a funeral. (Some idiots are pushing for this.) OK, let me declare the kid on my taxes and get back more end of the year money because of that miscarriage. I doubt if we can identify the sex of the miscarry. That might be needed unless we just send the would be mother to prison. "I did it, Maw. Now you cannot abort me any longer and I have less fear. We are also going to flood social media with photoshopped pics of good looking babies in the womb at 6 weeks."

Oh, really. Well here is what I know. As a person with the ability to watch news in English all over the world I see and hear what is going on now in this war. Buildings and cities in ruins and dead bodies all over. I saw a woman crying and holding a dead person's head as if to look them in the face. Ignorant people tell me this is not real and from some other time. Worldwide media does not support this. Everyone is doing their best to invent something to justify Putin and the horror and bloodshed he is causing. Absolutely none of it works with me. Putin the Putrid should go down in shame. With failing mental and physical health my worry is that after May 9th (a day that Russia defeated the Nazis in years past) they will mark that celebration and Putin will start using nukes. This all must be stopped. Prevention will work out much better of course.

Abortion issues are really control issues and abortion is not birth control. A person needs to let that sink in before they start talking Roe v. Wade and Supreme Court. Evangelicals think Jesus and their god would be anti-abortion but the bible says nothing about "fetal rights." When the baby drew it's first breath it became a person and not before that time. What religion has taught us all in our lifetimes is all made up. Right now control issues and anger issues has brought this all to the forefront again. Is anyone intelligent enough to stop this? Let them step forward.
