Quazi comments on Nov 14, 2018:

Is there nothing else to be ironic?

Jolanta replies on Nov 14, 2018:

@Quazi I will try to explain. For me it works this way; I don’t worry and dwell on what has been or what may happen. I concentrate on now, this very moment that I am writing this to you, nothing else matters, not what has been or what is going to happen, that way time stops or slows down as this is where all my mind, body and spirit is. I hope this explains it. It is not something that is easy to do but with practice it will get you there.

@MegBurton142 Sorry to hear about your daughter’s battle and your own sorrow. It must be sometimes unbearable. I don’t know how I would cope if my children were that sick. You take good care of yourself.

When Are You Most Yourself?

Jolanta comments on Nov 13, 2018:

I am always myself and most of the time at ease too.

@bigpawbullets Some people can get away with anything, it is just a matter of knowing that there may be times when you will have to take responsibility for what you say or do but still do it.

Jolanta comments on Nov 11, 2018:

Yes I know what you mean. I remember my mother saying to me when I was an adult that she never hit me, yet time and time again I had bruises on my legs from the iron board cord or the carpet beater.

How much weight have you lost and kept off?

Sgt_Spanky comments on Nov 12, 2018:

I don't have a weight problem, I have other issues. The most obvious is male pattern baldness.

That is not necessary a problem, hair that migrating from the top of your head to the sides.

Most wars have and had nothing to do with freedom but all to do with profit and not profit for ordinary people either.

Jolanta replies on Nov 12, 2018:

@ArdentAtheist I think that is a tricky one there. People have always been able to say what they think they just have to live with the consequences. And while we are on the subject of freedom and free speech than the US is going backwards in that department. In some states it is a crime to criticise Israel for what they are doing to the Palestinians.

Good afternoon people.

Ataraxia (ἀταραξία, literally, "unperturbedness", generally translated as "imperturbability", "equanimity", or "tranquillity") is a Greek philosophical term for a lucid state of robust equanimity that was characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry. In my opinion this is a ...

Jolanta replies on Nov 5, 2018:

@joedaveblake I know what you mean. I am sad that seems like a horrific incident happened to you. I must say that my upbringing has made me very independent and strong but also a bit sad. Sad that I find it hard to open up completely to people who I love. Although I turned out to be a happy soul regardless off what happened.

This afternoon I remembered the anniversary of the day I filed for divorce from a cheating wife.

@joedaveblake I too raised myself, my parents were always busy with their own problems and only paid attention if I was in trouble, inconveniencing them.

Two most memorable trick-or-treaters were both very small children.

Jolanta comments on Nov 2, 2018:

Those kind of kids don't deserve anything at all. I would not have given them one piece of candy.

Jolanta replies on Nov 3, 2018:

@A2Jennifer that depends on how you punish them. One way would not to give them any candy and tell them why.

You are a rare pattern.

powder comments on Nov 2, 2018:

I miss the days before political correctness. People would groan and say "that's terrible", but no-one got offended.

Jolanta replies on Nov 2, 2018:

A lot of people do not get offended but just laugh at what is happening and go on with their lives without worrying about offending someone because there is always going to be someone who is offended. Just live and be happy.

Jolanta replies on Oct 29, 2018:

@Renickulous Well you need to look into it. Police can go into any house/business or search a car and confiscate, money and goods if they suspect that the money etc, etc are from crime. They don't have to prove that it is from crime and it is up to you to prove otherwise, and that is hard to do. People who are on their way to buy a new car for instance that get pulled over, the police confiscate the money etc, etc. Here you have it, be careful with your savings; civil seizure, is a legal process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing.

@SpikeTalon I am not interested in starting trouble, I guess it is easy to start calling people names when one doesn't agree with something. I always used to think that groups would want to experience different opinions, seems to me that it is almost impossible in the US. How about just agreeing to disagree, no name calling is needed. Yes middle ground in not always possible, however I get exasperated with people who refuse to see another way, especially as in parts of the world that way is working just fine. I totally agree with you that there are things that are just black and white. Good to hear you are not an angry American.

@SpikeTalon You seem to think that in a group of people everybody will think and feel the same about everything, well I have news for you. In any group there will always be people who have other options especially after they have really looked into a matter. No I am not upset at all, this just proved to me that it is a yes group who only scratches the surface of what is going on. Rather sad I think, after all not much in this world is black and white, and there are many shades of grey too.

@TheMiddleWay I live in Australia and our population is very diverse although small, however we have more than one party and independent candidates who run and sometimes get elected. Australia is not a small place either. We also have “movements “, like GetUp, they are not a political party but take up issues that are important to people which they work on, educating the population and politicians. Likeminded people get together and try to make a change. For instance we just had an election in a constituency that has been very conservative for as long as it has been there, GetUp educated and lobbied people in that electorate that the independent candidate won, its sending shockwaves to the government. That is how you do it.

28% were Trump voters or 500 of the 1500 surveyed. 49% off those expressed the ideas in the headline or 250. Thus, if this site were interested in truth, the headline should reflect the truth that this applied to 250 people and not the unjustified inference that it applies to all. :( It's ...

Jolanta replies on Oct 20, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay yes it is, however other countries have more than one party to vote for. You start small with likeminded people.

Jolanta replies on Oct 20, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay I am not sure about that. I think people go with the main parties for different reasons, the main reason is that they don’t think that they have any chance of winning, which is most unfortunate, because you will get more of the same rubbish that you already have and nothing will change. You all need to try to get out of that mould.

Saudis admit that Khashoggi is, in fact, dead.

I don’t really think that the people in the US are that free either and news there is also sensored thanks to big business. And when talking about interrogation and torture just look at water boarding.

@TheMiddleWay why do people in the US only vote for either Republicans or Democrats, surely there must be independent candidates no matter that they may not win, are more in tune with the common man/woman?

Funny how you see it. Are you by any chance a Trump supporter?

Did the early voting thing today.

Jolanta comments on Oct 17, 2018:

Yeah I am not fond of Christmas but where would one go. I have been to several countries both Christian and non Christian and everywhere there was celebration going on, even in Muslim countries.

Jolanta replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@mdinsmore in Russia they do celebrate Christmas too.but not on the same day as the rest of the world. I think it is in January but you better google it. China has Christians living there too, not a huge following and the government is frowning at any religion, just look at the fallung dong, even though it is not a religion. It’s is forbidden and followers are persecuted severely.

Jolanta comments on Oct 17, 2018:

I live in Australia and when there is an election you have to vote. If you don't you will be fined. I cannot imagine that those rules would ever be implemented in the US, seems like they want to stop people voting.

Jolanta replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@Shelton It is, of course one can just scribble over the voting paper and that will make it invalid. Your name is not on it so no one will know. I rather like it that you have to vote, no excuses.

[politico.com] What is it that Betsy Devos really wants?

Jolanta comments on Oct 17, 2018:

Her goals as most of her republican cronies is to get richer than they already are and nothing else. They are not interested in educating people because too much eduction makes people use their brains and think for themselves instead of being busy just surviving.

Jolanta replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@MarkF So, having to work two - three jobs just to survive is not busy for you?

Jolanta replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@mdinsmore I have been to India and Indonesia, not yet Tahiti but those two celebrate Christmas. There are Christians living all over the world, even in Muslim countries and no the Muslims do not force them to stop their Christian celebrations. That is just something that the media is happy to say.

Using four letter words doesn't make you look cool. You just look like someone with an ugly mouth.

@Sticks48 It doesn't totally the opposite.

All I can say is that justice in the US stinks. If you have money you can get away with murder and you do.

@genessa You are probably right.

Is the Dalai Lama agnostic?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Oct 15, 2018:

Most likely the last true Dalai Lama. China has an appointed one. Tibet has lost its sheen since Chinese conquest; and a multitude of Chinese have moved into the region. The Chinese government even requires that Buddhists request government permission to be allowed to reincarnate. My question is:...

@Sticks48 Oh, what a great humanist you are.

I think I may have issues with commitment.

Jolanta comments on Oct 15, 2018:

It is not the fact that we sabotage things when they go well. We do it because we want to see if the other person will love us no matter what, unfortunately.

Jolanta replies on Oct 15, 2018:

@Mike1947 No, not all that, just to see if they truly love us as a person, without make up on our very worst days.
