SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Can't say I blame you there.

I do have a question.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Baconsarnie explained it below in superb detail, and the reason why I never have nor ever will use social media outlets such as Facebook. I'm going to private message you when I get the chance.

I've just joined.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

All good.

I stumbled upon this and was wondering if any of you more experienced guys have heard anything about...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I'll be busy for the next couple hours, so I'll have to get back to you later on that.

It seems to me that at the very split second of the big bang our universe was created.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Indeed so.

HOLY CRAP (Continued): Welp, before the "Creation" there was a bit of a problem.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

The holy babble...what a bunch of garbage.

Do you guys think that teaching kids religion is child abuse?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

It could be considered a form of mental abuse.

I miss Christopher Hitchens.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

As do I.

Is there anyone else around here (northeast ga) that isn’t completely indoctrinated?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I'm not indoctrinated, but unfortunately I'm not from GA though. Judging by your avatar photo, I'm guessing you like horses? I sure do, one of my favorite animals.

Why do people just believe what they are told without questioning it???

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

It's easier I suppose, as it requires taking no time whatsoever to think for themselves.

Greetings and salutations to all. New to this community, would appreciate some guidance.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Salutations, and welcome to the community. Guidance? How so?

Biblical Believers Hypocrisy and Ignorance

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I'm way beyond being just a little sick and disgusted at the bible thumpers...

On my mind.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I think both political parties are corrupt.

I'm amazed when the "Believers" come up with their "correct" political beliefs.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I call what you described above willful ignorance on the part of the religious screwballs, they know they are wrong but will not come to terms with that though.

What is the most underrated way people show you they love you? What is the most overrated?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Cooking for me, and overrated would most likely be them telling me I'm a good person. Truth be said, I'm not really a good person, more like balanced, a mixture of both good and bad.

In the land of capitalism, capital is power. Why not use this to our advantage?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I think it could work, but the trick would be getting enough people on board with the idea. I lean conservative, so the politics part would just about speak for itself, and we the people would need a political party that would defend our Constitution, not seek to alter it.

Posting a link instead of sharing a link I am really starting to get annoyed at links being ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Not sure if there is a way to determine title info, whenever I post a link I try to remember to briefly say what said link is about. That can get frustrating when you go to view a post and the description (if it exists at all) is vague.

Politically speaking, are atheists more liberal or conservative leaning?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Atheists come from all walks of life, it is not possible to put all of them in a single category. Some folks are liberal but despise the Democratic Party, while others may be conservative and yet don't see eye to eye with Republicans, and of course some are in the middle (centrists).

To me, Sin is a religious construct and is ultimately meaningless.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

The concept of sin is strictly man-made, and does not exist outside of organized religions.

I think there are a lot more non-believers than admit to it.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

I think you are correct on that thought.

I am on a dating site and I contacted a gentleman and we spoke on the phone last night.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Based on past experiences with religious folks, I'd say don't leave it to chance, you would probably find someone else who shares your world views.

The best explenation I have heard on how to define love was from a speech given by Simon Sinek.

Reincarnation or DNA Memory?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

I'd go with coding in the DNA, as I don't subscribe to the concept of reincarnation.

Question of individual vs. group rights?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

There is no decent trade off in my opinion, individual choice should always come first, then again I was never fond of the group mentality. Neither drugs or alcohol should be made illegal, people need to be free to make their own choices.

Relationships

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Wow, you lasted to 38 without ever having a girlfriend? You are a much stronger man than I, my head would have imploded by now if I didn't have any female contact. When it comes to dating, as simple as this sounds, just be yourself, and you'll be able to socialize just fine. Being a good listener is key, listen way more than talking. Hope that helped some, take care.

Religious pressure

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Just come out and say so, tell your friend you don't believe in religion or mysticism.

Is being single a good thing? An interesting article: [abc.net.au]

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 25, 2018:

The solo lifestyle has both pros and cons. As for me, I've been unattached now for a few years, and while at times I feel the desire to be in a relationship my life is going through another chaos period that forces me to make some tough decisions and pursue some additional education. In the end, I can only hope things stabilize a bit more and new opportunity present itself.

A little bit of statistics and EoUD info.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 24, 2018:

I agree wholeheartedly on that, and while my primary investment is in Btc, Ltc is cheaper to purchase and worth investing in, and besides you could convert to another currency if you choose later on. It is my assumption the wallet service you chose was Coinbase? That is a good custodial wallet service to have, and presently I'm looking into two non-custodial wallets, always good to have one of each for backup purposes. As I'm typing this, the value of Btc is really on the rise again, the future looks promising.

Indeed.

I am disappointed in myself, but feel the best choice was made.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 24, 2018:

As difficult as it may have been, you made the right decision to vacate the premises, risking your safety is simply not worth it. It is equally difficult having your kind gesture rejected in such a manner, but some people out there just refuse the help from anyone else no matter the situation. As painful as it can be at times, there are some things in life that just cannot be helped, and I more or less was forced to realize and accept this at a young age. Life can be rewarding and gratifying to some, and agony and gratuitous misery for others, because life itself is random and unpredictable.

Yes, most certainly, what would I have to lose years down the road? I know I sound like a Deus Ex (video game) fan boy here, but I sure would love to have a neural interface implanted in my brain, making it possible down the road to have a fully electronic brain. I am intrigued by human augmentation and nanotechnology.

Is attraction a choice?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 24, 2018:

Since you were somewhat vague in your query, I will have to assume you were referring to sexual attraction and not general social attraction (like who you would tend to gravitate to friend wise etc). In short, my answer would be yes, attraction is a choice because choices are decided in the brain. I suppose I could be attracted to a multitude of individuals if I so choose, but act upon attraction based on personal criteria that I alone decide for myself after thinking things over carefully. Mind over matter I say, and the human brain is quite a complex organ.
