Robecology comments on Feb 1, 2019:

So your main argument against alternative energy is that gas is more reliable than wind? Weak. -Do yourself a favor. Test drive a Tesla. Talk to people even in northern territories that have Solar on their roofs. Search the internet; ask "proof of Global temperature rise". I agree that it's wrong to take an "alarmist" view. I'm optimistic that EV's Solar and wind will make fossil fuels obsolete in a decade or so. Dinosaurs thrived on much hotter temps, no ice, nor snow....so we'll be fine with the higher temps... ...it's just that our temp rise is so drastic that if you're not in A.C. business then you should consider it...profits from good AC skills will soar. Yea, I know; the mid west is having record colds. Google "record cold vs record warm, data"...you'll see far more record warm spots in the world. Those who are good at building seawalls will make profits. Moving companies will score big in the next 10 years as coastal cites flood. But we'll survive. No alarmism needed...just gotta be in the right business.

I'm a frustrated, idealistic teacher. Ecology was my forte...You know; Renew, Reuse, Recycle? I'm happiest when I share info that someone "appreciates". Having said that - you're asking for good deeds that go "unappreciated"? I'd have to say IMO it's not "amazing": but I make an effort to live "below my means" and 3R my "stuff".... I give anything I have that I don't use anymore to the different used store folk. My favorite "used store" charities are; 1. a funky, eclectic collection in tiny rooms in an old house in "White City" Florida, as well as.... 2."Anastasia's Attic"....an out-of-the-way, not-Goodwill/not Salvation Army....just a few folks making a living selling used goods. 3. Then there's the one chain of Jimmy Carter-sponsored stores - the "Re-Stores" - that I also give to and shop at. Not amazing...but soooo satisfying to "move unused stuff along"...

Robecology comments on Feb 1, 2019:

It's not about being "sexist"....it's not comprehending why - if family planning were encouraged and welcomed - abortions would all but disappear. It's about the ultra-poor/ultra ignorant. They are naive. They need to have access to birth control...or they will keep making unwanted, unloved children...and the prison population will continue to grow. It's not about being sexist, or racist. It's about social priorities. If you want less money to go to abortions and more to go to things you like, you rant about and fight abortion and family planning funding - but the prison population grows. If you want an end to the ignorant getting abortions - give them an alternative - or they will keep having babies.

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2019:

There's a simple way to end abortions; make it easier for the poor and under-educated to get family planning. Between the abortion protesters and the politicians who fight to de-fund planned parenthood, I don't think they realize that by fighting family planning they're actually encouraging abortions - and encouraging unplanned, unwanted, unloved burdens to society. 90% of inmates in prison admit they were "unplanned".. the rest don't even have a clue. I know...."I pay for my family planning - they should pay for theirs". or how about "if you don't want abortions, don't get pregnant". .....but they're far dumber than you. They don't know how to control this; but we who have computers and can type above 4th grade level know better. For the ultra-ignorant woman it's the only way to get love and respect .For the ultra-ignorant man, they think it's an ego thing to make a woman pregnant. Solution? Let all women be "well equipped. IUD's. Diaphragms. Pills. There's a whole mess of ways to prevent kids. They just need easier access to them. If you want an end to abortions. Then do a 180º on family planning.

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2019:

It' depends on your degree of honesty, and the levels of intimacy that you've been with each. I've been guilty of trying to juggle three at a time; always with pretty disastrous results... so all I can suggest - the lesson I've learned - is be forthright, be honest. It'll take courage to say "I'm dating others" - but those who care and are self confident will say "cool - compare me - I'm sure you'll see Im the best" vs...those who are isecure/unimpressed with your "3-at-a-time" approach and say "uh-oh...see ya". They lose; the confident one wins.

REAL ESTATE Feds freeze Russian oligarch’s assets, Upper East Side mansion A sprawling mansion on the Upper East Side has been frozen as part of a hard-core battle between the US government and Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, The Post has learned. US officials say Deripaska, an aluminum billionaire, is close both with Russian mob leaders and Russian President Vladimir Putin — and that he is on the sanctions list because he is allegedly involved in murder, money-laundering, bribery and racketeering. Deripaska also had President Trump’s ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort — who has been convicted of crimes including money-laundering and who is cooperating with US special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe — on his payroll for years. Abramovich recently transferred $92 million worth of property to his ex-wife, Dasha Zhukova, an editor and patron of the arts who listed her current address as 11 E. 64th St., according to property records. https://nypost.com/2018/10/08/feds-freeze-russian-oligarchs-assets-upper-east-side-mansion/

Search **"Population Density and Social Pathology - Calhoun - 1962 **to find the article.

The C/R deny climate change - why? They want to see their investments in gas power/petrol powered vehicles and fuels continue to grow. They know support for EV's Alternate energy, while profitable and far better for the environment, will kill their fossil fuel investments. So if they ignore climate change, they ignore the fact that it's the poor who will suffer climate disasters first. So much for having a "Christian Morality' or being a "shepherd for mother earth".

You can "impeach" any U.S. political office holder....it's just become such a complex, token, and often unenforceable "route" that there seems to be a new direction (Indictments). Remember; it took 17 months to even start Nixon's "impeachment"- and even before it became official he bowed out...and saw how by bowing out, he could get his VP to "pardon" him and earn his retirement benefits. (I'm afraid Trump is at that stage now). Clinton was "impeached" but not convicted, and A. Johnson was impeached....but allowed to finish out his term. Historically Impeachment hasn't worked.

At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out) Baby it's cold outside Ah, you're very pushy you know? I like to think of it as opportunistic I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside) The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside) The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm) My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!) My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!) Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke) I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there) Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!) You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand) But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!) I really can't stay (Get over that old out) Baby it's cold Baby it's cold outside Okay fine, just another drink then That took a lot of convincing!

I'm not impressed with Twitter....but I feel the pain of the meme; like FB, Twitter has gone downhill. That's part of the reason I'm here....Ag dot com seems far more positive, and sophisticated.

Is real love possible for people with mental illness?

Robecology comments on Jan 29, 2019:

What a loaded question! There's a whole spectrum of mental illness; many not recognized. The number of mental institutions declined drastically in recent years - while the number of "stress" disorders seems to be growing. You have to take this on a case-by-case thing.

If you look in to the details of his death...you can see a lot of neglect - nothing provably willful...but he died prematurely, and the powers that be let it happen. https://brontebaxter.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/is-george-carlin-dead-because-he-spoke-of-the-new-world-order/

Students have always had the "option of studying the bible". It's never been banned - by any school in America - ever. He's trying to gin up his base, again, as usual.

Why would anybody vote for the looney democrats?

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

Remember; #1. We want to impeach a Russian sympathizer. 2. We only want to raise taxes on those making over a million (trump and reps already raised in on all of us) 3. No one wants to "shield illegals"...we want a firm and fair process. 4. Guns kill 30 Americans per day - 10 per day suicide. Illegal immigrants killed less than 1 per month last year. 5. Strengthen America With more of us having more $ due to health care for all and we're smarter thanks to college for all, America will finally become great again. Not because we can police the world...but because we're healthy and smart.

I bet all the guys remember this car.

I'm about to turn 41in April and I've been unhappy in my marriage for eighteen years.

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

Wise decision. Better to file for divorce before "cheating". Don't let "cheating" be the reason she accepts your divorce. I've been through 3....it gets easier every time. Stay pure, stay clean, stay faithful...but call that lawyer now.

I have seen this happen more than once.

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

Communication is not as easy as they say; but Silverotter11 said it best; it's a two way street. My (off-and-on) ex says I never want to discuss "it" but then she drones on about things we've discussed ad nauseum....so I nod and say "yes dear"....and then she gets pissed because "I'm not listening to her".... Now I don't blame my ex's more than 50%...I take at least 50% of the responsibility for the breakdown in communication. So how F'd up is that? Are we "playing games" or are we trying our best to communicate? I hate when someone close (not you, but ex's) say "you're playing games" or "you're not listening" or "do we have to accept this s.t as adults". All B.S. comments for a "failure to communicate. Ken Keyes says this; "You cause more pain in the world by "taking offense" then by accidentally being offensive"... BTW; I live by his precepts; http://www.mindpowernews.com/HigherConsciousness.html

Super hot. I love showers together.

I've been a hetero "feminist" for decades. My young wife died because she took Birth control pills back when they first came out. They were toxic..she got cancer....we both suffered for years...she passed. I recovered...but I'm here to say most men still don't get it. I won't "apologize" for them...just warn you to steer clear of men who don't treat women - not with respect - but with equality.

Update...I traded it in! I had issues with the headlight...then pulled out of the service center...and had to go right back....battery "issues". They changed it for free....but showed me a newer one. Long story short....I traded in the white one for a new one...with (almost all) the bells and whistles the first one lacked!

I'm not a calorie counter so much as a content, fullness/hunger watcher. I won't overstuff myself. I like to let myself feel "hungry" every day. I read that hunger pangs...actually feeling hungry....is good for you. It releases enzymes that control your metabolism and speed up fat digestion. Today's diet plan....two eggs, no yolks, microwaved, with a little cheese and ketchup...one slice of toast, juice. Lunch; greek Yogurt with blueberries, banana, and a half cup of oatmeal-pecan-cranberry mix. Dinner....not sure yet; probably fish and veggies, stir fried. I might open that package of Tofu.

Back when I was about 10 years old.

Robecology comments on Jan 28, 2019:

Telling an adult to "grow up" is like telling a recluse to "get a life". It's not helpful. It's rude. It's also arrogant. Are we to assume you're "grown up" whereas those who want things differently from you are not? Consider not saying "grow up"...it let's people know that you are still stuck in name-calling...which isn't very "grown-up" at all, is it?
