@rainmanjr Maybe if you were Chinese and all those restrictions were put upon you, you would think differently. You know China is now deleting famous people from their Weibo which is the eqivalent to Facebook and also deleting their movies and music from social media too. They are afraid that if someone is to popular people will listen to them and revolt.

Magnificent buildings can be created if you can hire a talented team of architects and have unlimited budget like the Vatican. Aside from the skilled craftsman and artists employed in the construction who benefits from them?

Jolanta replies on Sep 7, 2021:

Well, we do and anyone who looks at those magnificent buildings. One doesn't have to think of them as places of worship only. Many churches these days are being sold as religion is dying or at least that is what happens here in Australia. People buy them and convert them into houses. When I was in UK there was a large church that had been converted into appartments.

The Taliban's excuse for this is that it they are following Sharia Law as outlined by Islam.

FrayedBear comments on Jul 20, 2021:

Don't know but I do remember reading a science fiction story 30+ years ago of human explorers to another planet who found large numbers of a plant that was semi sentient & liked to please. It therefore used its flowers & petals as a vagina for the men & its stamen to penetrate & pleasure the women....

Rising longevity, in some countries.

Wow... I guess it's too late to do a re-start. US longevity has been falling.

Yes, in the riches country in the world, and it thinks itself as number one.

Who do you love the most in this world?

Curiosapien comments on Jul 14, 2021:

I don't honestly know anymore, things happen in life and you grow distant. When you feel hurt, it's hard tonfeel love for others, care maybe but love is locked away.

Jolanta replies on Jul 16, 2021:

Yes, when we are hurt we shy away from affection and love. Don't trust it that it will not turn against us and hurt us again.

The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience, is the sensation of the mystical.

If you are fed up with religious rubbish, the US is the last place on earth you want to live in. Even in Islamic countries do they not carry on like they do in the US about religion. However all that is something one can ignore, it takes time and a certain mindset though, not easy to get to. You ...

Jolanta replies on Jul 13, 2021:

@FrayedBear I actually don’t have any experience of lockdown. When it was on here in Canberra I was on a cruise. I very much doubt that it will happen here. We don’t have any active Covid cases and let us hope we won’t get any. The police is very vigilant and so are the hotels. Quilt a few people have been escorted out of ACT. One woman was put in jail too.

@FrayedBear Your previous answer speaks for itself. If you go to the US you will find the citizens friendly and helpful until you mention something about religion or the US foreign policy then they become nasty, belligerent and down right violent. That is my experience from visiting there.

When I first got on the Internet in 1992 as an AOL subscriber I would occasionally receive these sappy, syrupy stories which came to be known as a ‘glurge.’ Never attributable to any real incident, these feel-good stories were clearly the products of wanna be Reader’s Digest contributors or ...

Unfortunately, one way to get into even deeper into debt is to have children! Every child should be a wanted child, a loved child and a child with a reasonable chance of success. Starting out with poor parents does not bode well for the child(ren). Too often the child's welfare is one of the last ...
