What is it about someone that is attractive to you?

Sticks48 comments on Nov 4, 2019:

It is a combination of intelligence, sense of humor, the love and respect for animals, and the ability to empathize. Physical attraction is important, but if those other qualities are missing, I will lose interest fast. The first four qualities also help in making someone sexy to me. Even giving all of that, if there is no chemistry it ain't going to happen.

It is no different than making live action movies out of comic books or animated action shows. They should use the actors they think will help them market the film. They ain't doing this just for the fun of it. They are trying to make money. There is nothing and should be nothing sacred in the creative arts, whether it's a song , a book, a painting, or whatever. That is just me. I'm not a purist when it comes to the arts. You may feel differently and that's okay too.

[facebook.com] Any Bernie Sanders supporters here ?. You will like this.

Sticks48 comments on Nov 3, 2019:

This video was manipulative. The most anti-Bernie folks on there were Republicans. Do you really expect them to praise him? DUH! Not all Dems like him. The Dems as usual are divided about who they like. He does come of as the angry old man. That is fact. I would like him to tone that down. Historically it doesn't work. His proclamation of being a socialist works against him with Boomers. They automatically think Communism. I know they are wrong, but it is what they believe. The Boomers are a huge voting block, and they vote in large numbers. His health scare did not help. I like Bernie and would have no problem voting for him, but I don't think he can pull people from the center. If you can't do that you cannot win an election for the Presidency. If you can't get the black vote you can't get the nomination. He is very weak with those two groups. That is also fact.

The far left is no different from the far right when it comes to this kind of thinking, except the far right will most often go out and vote for their parties nominee and the far left will not vote, and then sit around and whine and bitch for four years. If they do this in 2020 they will be as responsible as the folks who do vote for trump with whatever disasters befall us with his re-election. Get off of your selfish asses and vote no matter who the Dems nominate!!!

I have never had a problem with folks getting cosmetic surgery. If it gives someone more confidence, then they will probably do better in their life. Whether we like it or not appearance matters and has in most societies through out history. That applies to both men and women. Up until the class system started breaking down to a degree, it was mainly the upper class this really applied to. That definitely changed in the 20th Century with the influence of mass media, magazines, movies, television, and an economy creating a middle class who could buy nicer clothing and accessories.

Is massage an important part of a loving physical relationship?

Sticks48 comments on Nov 2, 2019:

I have lived with one masseuse and dated another, so I learned how to give a pretty good massage. I have found some people just don't like getting a massage. If they like them I give them, and if they don't, that is okay too. Personally I think a good weekly massage is a very good thing for the body and the brain.

Too many scandals in the church-especially the conservative religions!

Sticks48 comments on Nov 2, 2019:

Conservative equals scandal whether in politics or the church. Conservatives are deathly afraid of change and they can't seem to figure out change is inevitable. They never stop change. They slow it down sometimes, but it happens anyway. This fear and also greed makes them do unethical and often illegal acts. From the middle of the 20th Century to the present and into the future, these changes happen faster and faster, and they can't deal with this reality. This is why they always refer to the past and not the future. This and their fear of women, people of color, and the LGBT community is why they are no longer fit to govern on the national level. They simply can't keep up. IMO
