Sticks48 replies on Nov 27, 2019:

@slydr68 These are facts. All voting records are in the computers. This and exit polling is how they determine how voting breaks down by race and gender. This is fact. lf so many white women didn't vote for republicans they would never win the Presidency again and it wouldn't be close. We know how most white men will vote. We know how black women vote. Most Hispanics, male and female vote for Democrats, That leaves black men and white women as the voters who swing Presidential elections one way or another. lf you fail to recognize the problem, you never fix the problem.

Until we get corporate money out of our elections and drastically change our tax code, all of these changes you and I would like to see happen will go absolutely nowhere.

I really don't see how a revolution can happen here. Our society is to large, to diverse in race and culture to get enough people together to pull one off. That is one of our strengths. If you think there is or ever has been a government that is or was not corrupt especially in any large country, I would like you to name them.

Why do you folks always think these leaders in other countries want to start WWlll? Do think Putin is on a suicide mission.

@Cutiebeauty A lot. Some folks are weak and they will be easily persuaded to believe whatever they are told, good and bad. There is nothing you can do for those folks. I had a mother-in-law who I really respected for the way she raised her kids. She once told me no matter how hard you try you wil lfuck up your kids in some way or another. Unless you are perfect you will pass on stuff to your kids that may not work for them. Each person has to figure this stuff out along the way. Most of the people on this site were raised in religion and figured out somewhere a long the way it was bullshit. it is that way for most everything in life. Confidence can ebb and flow. We have all been in situations where we are not very confident and situations where we are totally confident. it is definitely not a black and white subject.

Of course I would've left them. What a strange thing to do. Do you think you made a statement by throwing them away? What you did do? You proved every Christian that thinks non-believers are hateful, nasty people with no ability to live and let live, right.

@Allamanda I don't believe all cultures have really appreciated the natural world, especially the European cultures which whether Americans like it or not has had the most influence by far on the way we have developed as a country. The industrial age and the money that could be made from that explosion of technology really blew everything up.

All people on this planet want peace and love to help each other and stand by each other.

Sticks48 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

Those governments are made up of people. Therefore all people do not want peace and love. Even all peoples outside of governments don't buy into the peace and love ideal. It would be nice if they did , but they don't.

Sticks48 replies on Nov 20, 2019:

@Neenz Governments don't make people bad. We are each responsible for what we do and what we think, unless there is some impairment. We are not evolving near as fast as our knowledge and technology is evolving, and that is part of the problem. Human beings by and large do not handle change very well. Change in the last 150 years or so happens faster and faster. You must remember 49% of people have an IQ in double digits, not exactly supporting the argument we are evolving at an accelerated rate. The less intelligent the more the fight against change, especially social change.

That is certainly the truth. When you're a kid you want to grow up and it seems to take forever. When you get older and want time to slow down, it just picks up speed. In my estimation this should be the other way around. A definite design flaw.

Does anybody else wonder why "believer" is an option on an agnostic dating site?

Athena comments on Nov 19, 2019:

A believer believes and is therefore a theist. Yes, I have the same question. Another question I have is this... if you believe enough to identify as a believer, aren't there other sites which would be more suitable? This is one place people go to get away from religion, with so few ...

@Allamanda It is much the same with many Native American tribes in the States. It is not a disguise for them. According to my ex, a Chiricahua Apache, many Native Americans are just very spiritual and can be open to certain aspects of other religions. I really saw that when I lived in Northern NM.
