The way I like it! Lol!!!

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2024:

I prefer the night life, but often times do not get to indulge in it due to my schedule, which is why I'm also a fan of Fridays and Saturdays.

The highest result of education ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 29, 2024:

I agree, but would contend that's only part of the equation. Keller left out the other important part, that other important part being fairness. Both tolerance and a sense of what's fair are a result of a quality education.

SpikeTalon comments on May 7, 2024:

When it comes to speech, I draw the line on direct threats/calls of violence and death to others, and any similar destructive ways. Anything short of that, is fair game. No matter how wrong or twisted someone else's opinions may be, they are entitled to their opinions, and I have the option of ignoring them.

He who dares not offend ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 9, 2024:

A shame nowadays we don't have more human beings that are as intelligent and articulate as Paine was.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 9, 2024:

Think that would largely depend upon the situation at hand. All factors must be considered and weighed on evenly.

Just by accident I encountered this because I hit sign up instead of login.

I got the same message, on both DuckDuckGo web browser and Android mobile app. At this point, considering the various glitches that often have and continue to plague this site, who knows, maybe the site will finally be done away with after mid September? The great Agnostic Apocalypse that has been predicted for some time now draws near!!

Happy Memorial Day 2024

SpikeTalon comments on May 27, 2024:

Had often wondered why they say "happy" Memorial Day? It's always been a rather somber day for me... https://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/almoyer.htm Ashly was a good friend of mine. Gone, but certainly not forgotten.

The 2009 movie Agora was excellent. I recommend viewing that for those who have yet to do so.

First one is mine. 😊

The hooker one is hilarious.

The sooner people stop waiting for god to fix the problem ...

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 7, 2024:

I hear ya Matt on the god part, and don't disagree per se. Thing is, knowing how fickle human nature can be, if humanity ever somehow does find a way to put the god theory to rest for good, I suspect human beings will replace god with another authoritative figure. Besides, even with religion out of the picture, we would still have politics, and human beings have and continue to find new issues to argue about among each other when it comes to politics.

Just curious.... Why do so many people take a picture of themself in a car?

What is it with men and spitting in public?

SpikeTalon comments on May 1, 2018:

I wouldn't know, I never spit out in public.

Why do women allow these ministers to quote the bible stating that they are inferior to men and that...

SpikeTalon comments on May 1, 2018:

Or better yet, someone should beat the daylights out of the ministers who made such ignorant statements. Beat em' like a damn pinata, and tell them it was the will of their god to have them beaten like that, and see what they say afterwards.

Is it OK to be racist against white people?

SpikeTalon comments on May 1, 2018:

I'm with you on this one, it's never acceptable to be racist against anyone else, even caucasians.

Haha, not for me!

What else are we doing wrong?

SpikeTalon comments on May 7, 2018:

I'm not familiar with Australia political parties, but here in the US I sure would love to see the new Federalist Party gain serious traction, and perhaps become a viable party and give the Democrats and Republicans a run for their money.

This says it all!

SpikeTalon comments on May 7, 2018:

Haha, it sure does.

CRYING! What has made you cry as an adult?

SpikeTalon comments on May 8, 2018:

At least since I have been eighteen years of age, I cannot recall even one incident that made me cry. I've been through alot in my still relatively young life, and have watched too many family members and friends get buried prematurely, life's experiences have seriously diminished my emotions and feelings. Crying never helped me much anyway when I was a kid.

Wow, did this post ever receive some serious hate... The funny thing is, this newspaper tends to lean to the left, look it up- https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/chicago-tribune/ I bet those who are complaining didn't even bother to read the article. Also, the article is about five months old, not that it matters much.

The sky is falling.

SpikeTalon comments on May 10, 2018:

That's a good site.

That isn't the way it was supposed to work out.

I’ll bet there were only like 3 commandments until Moses’ wife got involved.

SpikeTalon comments on May 16, 2018:

I always felt the god of the OT overlooked some really good ideas to base commandments on. For example, instead of that ridiculous adultery one (because there are far worse things to worry about than adultery), I have a better one in mind- thou shalt not act like thine horse's ass. The christian fundies could have really benefitted from that one, as most of them are, well, a horse's ass. Good post.

I'm pro gun rights Pro Constitution Pro capitalism For less government involvement in our lives For less taxes Strongly opposed to socialism For self-sufficiency Against most welfare programs Against social justice warriors/progressives I have no qualms with abortion, but also believe that a man has a right to walk away from supporting a child he does not want to father I have no opinion on lgbt related stuff Does that answer your question?

How are we defining "conservative atheists?

SpikeTalon comments on May 20, 2018:

You might want to look into the live chatroom on the other conservative group, you could ask questions on there and get feedback.

Google.

SpikeTalon comments on May 20, 2018:

I assume you are on Android then? If so, you might want to check out an alternative app store called Aptoide, I like it better than Google PlayStore. It is unclear to me if you are in need of a different email account? If that be the case, I'd recommend ProtonMail, their basic service (which is all you really need) is free and it's a good email alternative. Where browsers are concerned, check out either the FireFox or Armorfly Browser apps and you could then select a different browser service like say Yahoo or DuckDuckGo. Hope that helps some, I had never used Google Wallet though, and in fact generally steer clear of their apps.

It appears the main stream centrists and right wingers are getting happy and comfortable with Trump,...

Is this true?

SpikeTalon comments on Jul 25, 2024:

Mixture... The name changes aren't the big deal some folks are making it out to be, and the going to Yale part was probably due to the fact he had served in the Marine Corps and they help pay for college education. The only disputed part there would be whether or not he grew up in a poor family, and appears to have come from a middle class family. So where he grew up looks like the only truly questionable point mentioned above in the meme, the name changes do not appear to be a big deal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Vance

SpikeTalon comments on Jul 26, 2024:

The concept of a living wage is a topic that involves various perspectives and nuances in politics. While there is a general understanding that individuals should earn enough to meet their basic needs, the specific definition and implementation of a living wage can vary significantly based on factors such as location, cost of living, economic conditions, and political ideologies. As a result, discussions around what constitutes a living wage and how it should be established often involve debates and differing opinions among policymakers, economists, and the general public. In other words, that concept to date has no settled boundary(s) or set amount values, so it remains a debatable concept. Also, not all jobs and professions are created equally, some are more complex to perform than others, and naturally would command a higher rate of pay. Take for example a comparison in tech-related careers, a job in digital marketing/E-commerce is not nearly as technical in nature as say cybersecurity would be, the latter of which would command a higher salary.
