Sticks48 replies on Sep 25, 2021:

@Deb57 l'm sorry. As l said l have seen this quite a bit in my life especially in women in our age range. I was fortunate to have good parents. Our parents divorced when l was 7, but our father taught my brother and me to respect women and our mother was our true friend and confidante, so we always treated women with respect. We didn't always make great choices and sometimes even in good relationships life can get in the way. Some relationships are only meant to last for a time. That doesn't mean they were bad choices. Life can throw a monkey wrench into good relationships and it is no one's fault. Sometimes people change over time and you don't change in the same way. This idea that relationships are supposed to last forever is based on religious ideas and not based in reality. I really only regret my third marriage. I did not trust my gut and that was on me.

Americans don't like voting for angry Presidential candidates. You can't run around bragging you are a socialist in a country where way to many folks, especially old folks, equate socialism to communism, a stupid comparison for sure, but this is how they think. Bernie has great ideas and poor political skills, and it does require a certain skill set.

@Ello We gave an appearance of a democracy but only white men could vote and the electoral college was set up so if the rich and powerful didn't like it they could change it to suit them. We talked about all men being created equal and talked about freedom, yet most of those people signing the Constitution owned slaves including Washington and Jefferson. Women may have the right to vote, but are still not garuanteed the same wages as men and do not autonomy over there own reproductive systems. Let's not forget our "justice" system where the rich get by with many things the average citizen can't because they don't have the money and people of color are dealt harsher punishment than white people for the same crimes. I won't even bother with the discrimination in the health care and banking systems. What would you call these things?

@Charlene Nothing of the sort. Up until the 60s or maybe 70s unmarried men were suspected of being gay and not only could you be discriminated against in the world of employment. In some societies, including this country you could get your ass kicked, sometimes even killed. The priesthood was a job where no one questioned why you weren't married or never seen dating. Don't try to read shit into what l say and l said nothing about pedophiles. With that logic l could say you are implying all priests are pedophiles, which we know is not true.

Starting with Reagan the Republicans have been selling the idea the government can not be trusted, even though they make up half of the government, give or take a little at different times. Our educational system changed because of this idea of the passing of a national testing standard to get funding. We no longer teach civics classes and our history books have always been a joke. I am sure there are other things wrong with our educational system, but l am not close enough to the problem to know what they are. There are teachers on this sight who have more insight than l do.
