Defence of significant other

Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:

No one needs to defend the significant other because it isn't anyone else's business who one is with.If the family is that shallow I would not honor them with our presence however once confronted I would let them know in no uncertain terms that I do not appreciate their comments and if they wish to see me in the future to stop it immediately. It would be appropriate o let them know about their short comings as well.

There is no use arguing with people who deny simple, verifiable facts | Miami Herald

Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:

TRUE However they do not use the same logic or reason when they relate to religion! There you must have faith which cannot be proved! No free will.

Why do people think something had to happened to me to make me an atheist?

Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:

It is beyond their belief that anyone could deny god and still be a good person.They never can answer the question about bad christians except to say they will go to hell and so will you! These people deny logic and proofs. They maintain to ask for proof is somehow a sin in and of itself. Besides it negates the need for faith! They do not acknowledge free will that is without a god of some kind. However all those other faiths besides christians are also going to hell.

Should ther be term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court?

Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:

I believe two terms for senators and three for representatives is enough because I feel that we should have a conscious flow of new ideas in our government that relates to the changing times. As for the Supreme Court I again feel a retirement age of 72 is more than enough time to serve.These justices that are older than this loose tract of the changes in the populations opinions regarding the law that occurs. For example the death penalty verse life in prison, the current view on weed, abortion being attacked. The same should be the policy for state government. I am also tired of these politicians making a career of the positions and passing different laws for themselves verses the people they serve. Example healthcare for the Congress vs the rest of population.

The term "ladies" Any other women here cringe when they see this?

Marine comments on Mar 11, 2018:

It has gotten to the point that I do not know what term or terms are proper to use any more. if I do not know their name it seems I should just turn away. The same thing goes for opening a door today. I am going to only open them for gentlemen only after the verbal lashing I got from the last lady I opened the door for.

Do you agree with the holistic approach to medicine?

Marine comments on Mar 9, 2018:

I think it is getting out of hand when 70 universities are given $200,000,000 to study their approach. To tell a person with cancer they can will it away is criminal or any other diseases for that matter. I am sure some of these methods do work but there are to many quacks doing this approach and killing people as a result.

Should universities take political stances?

Marine comments on Mar 9, 2018:

I am against these universities taking a polictical stances. My children went to a school to learn as much as possible about the world and their country from many points of view. The aim was to broaded their knowledge not impose one political view on them. This would be no different than going to a church.

It is important if you work on a farm that you shower after work as you pick up many new bacteria and viruses in your work.

So I got another rejection today for a job that I was well (over) qualified for.

Marine comments on Mar 9, 2018:

Dress in black with a white blouse, lower your voice and take charge of the interview by asking what are you specifically looking for in this job. When they are finished speaking take the points they made one by one and tell them why you are qualified for the position. say something like I led this project or that project and how sucessful it was. How you saved a company money i s big one or how you introduced a new product or savings. Use ideed on computer or any head hunters.Do you have or can you get any letters of recomendations. Carry a briefcase,no jewlery or perfume and extend your hand to shake hands first as this shows leadership.Ask what they think of your qualifications at the end of the meeting in this manner Do you feel my qualifications meet your needs.? Look at smaller companies as their turnover is more important to their operation and generally they need to replace an opening quicker.Good luck .
