Why do you think people are so scared to put up photos on this site or limit it to only one or two?

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 5, 2018:

I've yet to post any photos/images on my profile, but since I just updated the text in my bio I am considering adding some. This may sound odd, but I have never done a selfie before, not the least that I could recall anyway. I do enjoy interacting on this site, but the trolling gets intense at times. One of the groups I host on here has been and continues to be a target of some of those in the progressive gun control group, and I and a few fellow members have been harassed and ostracized for our views. I have received hateful albeit threatening messages in both private and public in which nothing much is ever done about it despite bringing the issue to attention, and with that in mind makes me leery about posting any photos of myself in public, no telling the lengths some trolls would go through to cause trouble. That's why I don't publicly post photos of myself on this site, and for the most part would only consider sending personal photos via private messenger.

The churches have twisted history to fit their agenda and increase their influence and power.

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 5, 2018:

Indeed they have.

Anybody give blood?

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 5, 2018:

I've yet to do so, but think it would be something to put on my priority list. This is a good post, a shame member posts cannot be pinned to the top of the list on the public feed, this one should get pinned.

Do you REALLY look like the pictures you put up in social media?

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 5, 2018:

I have yet to do any selfies while interacting online.

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 5, 2018:

Hot Button Questions 1

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 4, 2018:

The proposals given forth by the progressive liberals would do absolutely nothing to deter criminals from obtaining weapons, and the Santa Fe school shooting doesn't even fit the gun control narrative as no "assault" rifle was used. Our politicians should focus more on finding ways to reach out to those with mental illness and improving security measures as opposed to banning certain items some would deem unnecessary to own. And yes...I am a gun owner.

SpikeTalon comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Same here, I have to agree with Trajan61 when he says some of the religious nuts are actually more tolerable than the progressive liberals are. Regarding the last part, I don't feel much on that topic, morality does not come from a deity, morality is decided/agreed upon by human beings.

Maybe.

You can see how the political left has changed over time, and no changes for the better.
