Do you agree with the holistic approach to medicine?

azzow2 comments on Mar 9, 2018:

Yes and no Some herbs can be toxic if overused so people that are not educated on the hazards should not be indulging. I have heard that wormwood soaked in alcohol is an hallucinogen never tried to find out. The pharmaceutical companies just want to make money so they will have the doctors prescribe anything that they can even giving doctors financial incentives. There is no happy medium because the FDA does not recognize herbs as madisional and because the pharmaceutical are so established they just blow off the holistic approach as unrecognized solutions. Not to totally put pharmaceutical in the burn pit some medicine is necessary however there are many out there that turn out to be worse than the original problem.

If I feel friendly toward the person I will give settle hints to help them self correct.

Is there something to psychedelics?

azzow2 comments on Mar 8, 2018:

I am as lucid as a cuckoo, I say that because the cuckoo bird supposedly uses a lot more of its brain than other animals do. I can write some intense poems and I am drug free and have not touched alcohol in well over 7 years. So from personal experience, I think drug use is a pissy excuse and people just use it to escape normalcy because they fear living.

Pride

azzow2 comments on Mar 8, 2018:

This some advice that my dad gave me long ago. Love is like a lottery ticket you are going to buy a lot of losers but eventually you will be in the right place at the right time and a winner will show up. Remember that everyone has different quarks and if you can tolerate the idiosyncrises in someone you will have located a rare person.

Your poll is missing some choices both or neither. I love all animals I have 3 cats 2 ferrets 2 dogs 4 rabbits and 5 chickens and 4 ducks. Cats are interesting because they seem to have a sassy attitude. Dogs loyalty and willingness to please is also a great attribute.

Tough question here! Why are so many people absolutely certain the bible has NO truth in it if they ...

azzow2 comments on Mar 8, 2018:

You question should be in the converse. How can so many people be fooled by such a document with no absolute truth to back it up. Have to think about some of the stories. A talking snake? Eve made out a rib? Cain and Abel wives? A boat with the largest zoo ever on it? Losing strength because hair was cut? Turing into a pillar of salt at the sight of an explosion? Parting the red sea, food from the sky? Just a few examples.

Was dating a woman back in 2013 she was really into me. She knew that I had had a vasectomy and I think in the back of her mind that this somehow ruined me. That was the last time I had dated any one. Lots of people have a stigma about sterile partners they want to leave their legacy on this planet is all I can figure.

Who are your people?

azzow2 comments on Mar 8, 2018:

Being a poet and aspiring author it is difficult to locate people with complexities of certain artistic mental facilities. I do and find solace with the kinship in this realm that this website has to offer. This is my most recent poem thought I would share. Pintle brittle: Thump and bump eerie is the anbient light of hasty delight. Crackle and snap are the toasty fires on a cold winter's sight. Bustle and bristle are the twigs beneath your feet on a placid path to unusual reasoning. Whoosh and thrush the blades of grass crack off like shattered glass in shards of embarrassment. Squeal and creek do the rusted wheels yaw of forgotten memories leak in to infinity. Shift and drift the glistening herbs of delight tickle into the complexities. Whisper are heard through cotton veneers what images for yourself to adhere.

azzow2 comments on Mar 7, 2018:

The patched worked on my 6th quit try. I also used pumpkin seeds seemed to help a lot. The best advice I would give anyone is do not pretend to quit with intent of going back. Put it in your mind to quit no scapegoats. I have not smoked in over 10 years and can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke.

Do you find giving advice to someone who disregards it, is a waste of time.

azzow2 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

If you just tell them they are doing it incorrectly they will never listen. Argue with them until their ears are bloody then watch them F -up. Then say I told you so after the umpteenth mistake, they may consider you could have been correct from the get go.

azzow2 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

I have seen this on a show, think it is called brain games. Most people do not want to think about complexity that is why beer and remote control tv is so popular. Give most average Jane/John Doe a complicated task and they will mess it up, like a wet dream in a crowded elevator.

Fear of Hell

azzow2 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

Hell is just a term like Santa Claus we know it is not real and yet in some respects it controls our emotions. It is a way in which terminology is used to cause fear in our mind. Phobias can be erased with intellectual perspectives. Like a spider for example lots of people fear spiders in reality, a human is thousands of times bigger than an arachnid, we are not even in the prey category for spiders. Most not all people that have spider venom in them is because they swatted the fangs of the spider into their skin. In most cases people that insist that a spider bit them it is a case of mistaken identity the solifugae is way more likely to bite a human than a spider is.

So.

azzow2 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

Even though the fire arms stay in a safe. The primitive weapons are always at hand I have a crossbow with in arms reach and my compound bow is easy access too. I figure they are quiet in the event of more than one problem to take care of. The gun is something that deems great respect it has saved more lives than it has taken. The people that missaproate the tool that is meant for protection and hunting, should have the same deed that they did to others done to them. Here in our state we have the right ot open carry. I do not think that bravado is necessary. I do think that everyone has the right to protect their loved ones as best they can.

azzow2 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

Started as courisioty have been agnostic just about all my life. Heave tried many date sites all that reply on other sites are cristian that just reply unknowing what agnostic is or think they can change you. The scammer community is out in full force on other sites as well with fake profiles. It seems a lot are from Ghana Africa. This site is like a melting pot of non beliebers of all talents and even though the occasional disagrement happens everyone seems to support each other. It is a place that you can ask an absurd question. (how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop?) or something more profound ( Is the speed of light affected by the the gravity of Jupiter?) And you are going to get some eclectic answers for sure.

I've always been a very touchy-feely person.

azzow2 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Right, I will but do not enjoy touching someone I dis like or distrust I never put my heart in it when I have to shake someones hand if my hackles are up. If it is someone I care for I will openly express emotions for granted there is not many I trust. The amount of people I trust are less than the fingers than I have on one hand.

azzow2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I have been agnostic for as long as I can remember. I talk to people that are religious devouts and my mind go cross eyed with the hokey ideas they cling to. Had seen the word agnostic and it piqued my interest. A lot of people do not know what agnostic means and associates it with negativity unfortunately. Something like the Non Domination Tea Party might work.

What is symbolically - metaphorically meaningful to you?

azzow2 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

The praying mantis for being stealthy and deadly a graceful creature. The essence of survival. The scorpion certain types can kill an animal 100,000 times it's size with just a pin head full of poision. Symbolizes how unbalanced nature can be. I chose creatures because we as people could learn a lot more about our own life struggles.,if we understood nature beter. So my choice is not a material thing but a observing thought.

Guess he did not like the companies revenue very much thousands of jobs are going to go down the tubes. Those companies are just going to close or relocate. Just wonder if there is any politicians with brains in office.. The last one I can remember hearing about was Christy Whitman that as NJ govener several years ago. Surprised PITA is not on the green pig issue.

Is it easy or hard for you to get to sleep?

azzow2 comments on Feb 17, 2018:

Sleep is not a habit for me I consider it a luxury epically when I feel rested after I wake. It is an absolute absurd part of life if it were possible I would invent an off switch so as my chemical make could be shut off for a period of time. I never stop thinking from wake to wake. I have had several surgeries one in particular I remember the anesthesia flowing up my arm as like the mirror in the movie The Matrix I long to have that feeling every sleepless night I have.

So I posted something earlier that I took down because my intentions were being misunderstood.

azzow2 comments on Feb 17, 2018:

It is almost an impossibility to locate such commodity in any one given community as there is here. The amount of like minded people here is very difficult to locate in the sea of the religious prejudice. So for you to seek a form of assimilation is to help please your void would only be an acceptable responce.

I had long had doubts of mythical creatures had often thought of the no proof idea. When I had heard of the 3rd pope that would mentally torment other religious patrons one example is he would have the children removed from Jewish parents that refused to convert to Catholic. Force the children to abandon their parents for a pathetic excuse.
