I’m not shocked in the least, you do know the Crypt keeper from HBO was molded from actual human bones, not that they’re part of the puppet now, they were cast in resin from molds created from the bones of a cadaver from India. He also has Chucky's eyes.

Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature. - Albert Einstein

Willow_Wisp comments on May 12, 2021:

It depends on the people I’m around. In rural Alabama with a 45 minute bus ride each way to and from school through angry abused red neck kid country where the most abundant natural resource is growing bullies you can bet your ass I valued my solitude. I’m an introvert and a daydreamer, a natural born flower child but I carry the attitude one would associate with an innocent kid in Vietnam given two weeks of leave after experiencing all the horrors of a massacre. On the plus side it made me adventurous. I’ve been a motorcyclist (Harley), I was a hang glider pilot, sailor, actor, artist, archer, roofer, blacksmith, armorer, tailor, cook, sword fighter, carpenter, world traveler, and every family role possible except grandparent. I survived it all. The roach coach at my office let’s me run a tab. I tell the coachman that he’s keeping me alive and I resent it. There are things worse than death and I haven’t had the joy of experiencing many of them yet. There was the heart attack, curious sensation. Crap, I forgot I made a deal with myself to not write when I’m stoned. Have fun I’ll be around, I’m cursed to outlive the life insurance policy my ex has on me but keeps paid in full. I can’t let them make another dime at my expense.

A friend of my fathers from the Army visited once, he was black and he was exhausted from driving too much because it wasn't safe to stop, and that was in 1967 well after the worst days of travel for black Americans. A year later MLK Jr was shot.

Willow_Wisp comments on May 7, 2021:

I work full time now, but I've done well over 10,000 hours of non-court ordered voluntary community service. I really enjoyed building floats for Pride, but the most rewarding thing was doing kitchen work at homeless feeding events. One year I was Santa Clause for San Pedro and we gave out several hundred presents for underprivileged and disabled children. No one could believe I went through the entire day without taking a break, they don't know how I cried later when the children couldn't see me, it was their day so I couldn't ruin seeing Santa for them by letting myself sink into a self absorbed pity fest.

I come from Christianity so I fear it because the more religious leaders have freedom to speak the more they sound like Nazis. In fact Nazis came here for inspiration before the war, they loved the Conservative racist points of view from Nationalist Isolationist, ie people like the KKK and Henry Ford who is mentioned in Mein Komph and Henry Ford kept an autographed copy on his desk and even had a Hitler portrait on his wall. These people love secrets, and there’s like minded tyrants all over the world, what if it’s already an international secret organization attempting world domination? We can detect them now, but what about after unbreakable 2048 bit encryption is freely available to them. Soon the entire world will be two great factions that can’t talk to one another. Next is war.

This was always true, we refused to see it. We see who the enemy is and it’s us.

We propped up tyrant after tyrant, we’ve never sold democracy to anyone but we packaged and sold it to the American people. All you have to do kids is buy the idea that Christian Conservatives have the only version of democracy that exist and to not accept it is to be an enemy of apple pie and the National Anthem, and Christian Conservatives endorse all things Republican. It’s disgusting.

Family of woman shot by cop during Capitol riot says it was murder

Willow_Wisp comments on May 5, 2021:

How odd, it's a shame they weren't all shot. Everyone else has to abide by the law. BLM had to get a permit, and had a narrowly defined area where they could stage a protest, and lived within the terms of the agreement, and were still met by hords of police in riot gear. However these right wing terrorist just believe they own everything, walk up beating police, destroying barricades, breaking windows, stealing shit, and shitting all over Congress. I think the ENTIRE troupe of people arrested so far should be publicly executed, and when their families complain execute the families too. That's how other countries deal with terrorist attempting to overthrow the government.

In case you had any doubts about why anyone objects to those who kneel during the national anthem.

Willow_Wisp comments on May 5, 2021:

Clearly racist overreaction. I'm a vet, a white vet. I'll be executed before I stand for the anthem again, not for a country that does this, this isn't why I served six years. We have real patriotism that doesn't require props or magic spells and chants. It's about OUR people, and OUR people come in all sizes shapes and colors, and excludes no one except those that despise us. Those that despise us are a small loud belligerent minority of posers that are step by step being dealt with.

Was religion an old form of government?

Willow_Wisp comments on May 5, 2021:

Only in part, original government was divine right monarchy even if it predates the term. The issue with proclaiming yourself as king comes with the question, by what authority are you king? 40 thousand years later... Millions of Christians hear mass in a language they don't speak: **Latin** and becomes a main issue for Martin Luther to protest, creating the protestant branch of Christianity and the Lutheran denomination. A few hundred years later... Millions of American Christianity cult members use Christianity as the backstop for their "Lost Cause" Movement. Creating a false resurgence of Christianity in the 20th and 21st Century. This movement is anti democratic pro Christian dominionist in tone and intent. Generally few believe any of the religious woo, most Christians believe in the "Lost Cause" promoting white supremacy and acts of insurrection and right wing terrorism. Christianity doesn't exist except as a smoke screen for hate groups now.

Corporal punishment in America's schools

Willow_Wisp comments on May 4, 2021:

In fourth grade I had a teacher named Mrs. Kennedy and her husband was Coach Kennedy. She would send as many as ten kids into the hall two times a day to be beat by the coach with a paddle. Somehow I always ended up in the hall. Two or three times a day. I couldn’t tell Dad, he had already swore he’d beat me if I got in trouble at school, his abuse was legendary so I stayed silent. One day Tina was sent to the hall, Tina was a natural Disney Princess and I doubt she knew that about herself. She told her Dad, he came to school, he pressed charges. We had a new teacher. I never got to thank Tina’s Dad, but recently I heard that he died and it made me sadder that I was when my Dad died.

Willow_Wisp comments on May 2, 2021:

I think the very human thought “What am I supposed to do with my life?” would be more than enough to start religions. In fact life after death seems to be a relatively late development. The underworld in Greek and Roman belief seems more like shades of people that once lived, forgetful and distracted, like a character that lives in a painting in Harry Potter. In the Old Testament there’s no mention of anything like modern concepts of heaven or hell, it was a grave, the same for rich and poor, vile or pure, all went to the grave.
