I'm actually incensed at the amount of time and energy we (as a group) expend on this website pointing out what we don't believe. You're not a Christian. Good for you. I don't care. Why is an entire website being used primarily as a bashing place for religion? Who really gives a shit? I don't.

@skado most likely wolves feared man and avoided man at all cost. A few select animals with lower aggression /fear response to humans was where the domestication process began. Just as the Russian study concluded ,it is impossible to domesticate an animal just by human interaction.

It's even harder to define the unknown and the unknowable.

There are many pseudo-scientists out there that talk about the hundreds and hundreds of toxic dangerous chemicals that are in vaccinations. Large numbers of parents say their children were completely normal until they were vaccinated. We live in a society that is immediate gratification, a ten min Google search is enough for some parents to make a uninformed desicion that's based on speculation not facts.

Yah, that’s what handing every branch of the US government over to a maniacal party that’s become a religion unto itself will do… When the Dem’s last had all 3, we got as close to a national healthcare plan as ever in the US.. When the R’s last had it, Bush Jr. led us into two wars… ...

@briangs we're talking about Healthcare. We're not talking about dick enlargers. When people in a country are dying because they can't afford health care because of a for-profit system I think is a human right. Our Healthcare System was not going to be able to handle billions and billions of people going to the emergency room due to lack of any other option. I was uninsured before the Affordable Care Act because the cheapest insurance that I found was over $1,000 a month just for me.

Watching this circus from Canada.. holy shit. If you voted for this idiot you got what you deserve but the nice people of the USA got screwed. He's a madman, an imbecile, and all the other adjectives you can think of. Glad I dont live in the USA.

Kojaksmom replies on Jan 4, 2018:

@witchymom I think you're absolutely right. It's almost impossible for a woman in politics to win. The fact is this no one on either side of the aisle had a problem with Hillary until she started talking about the presidency then all hell broke loose. And we have this Macho ass culture who is always going to trust a bloated male blathering b******* over a female

HRC was and is 100% in bed with the bankers, pentagon, and big corporations. I don't hate her, just knew she would continue the upwards transfer of wealth that has been the hallmark of every president since Reagan.

Clinton was infinitely more qualified then Trump. Anyone who knew about Trump could have told you what to expect.

Kojaksmom replies on Jan 3, 2018:

I'm not surprised by any of Trumps crap. He is a con man he always has been always will be. I cannot fathom how anybody could vote for him. The fact of the matter is Hillary Clinton won the election by over 3 million votes. The E.C gave us this crude orange dancing bear.

My entire life I have battled depression.

Kojaksmom comments on Jan 2, 2018:

I understand and you are not alone. I too suffer from long term depression and it's a battle. My advice is talk to your doctor. I've been on two different anti depressants and oftentimes had to either change meds or change my dosage for it to continue to be effective.

Kojaksmom replies on Jan 3, 2018:

@DominicG79 you may be kidding yourself into thinking a woman and family will make you the happiest man alive. I was married for 21 years. I must say ,many many many times in that marriage I felt more lonely and alone than any other time in my life . marriage and family complicate your life hundreds times over and it's not always good.

Women and atheism

Wayfarer comments on Dec 30, 2017:

I think it's probably more difficult, at least within the typical hetero relationship, since there's more cultural pressure on women to somewhat submit to their husband's viewpoint, and also in general to be non-confrontational and pleasant, ornamental. There's less respect shown overall for the ...

Kojaksmom replies on Dec 31, 2017:

There is more pressure for women to conform. Even in this day, women are expected to be "obedient". fortunately ,many of us don't care.

I think not being from merika gives you a better perspective of how screwed we are. I say keep on expressing yourself! But trust me, it won't do any good. America lags behind and just about every category of quality of life. But we will always consider ourselves number one.
