azzow2 comments on Jan 22, 2018:

I like the pro choice option better because it give people with life threatening problem an option. Also I do not think a rape victim should be obligated to carry her attackers baby. However people that use it as a form of birth control that bothers me.

Unless you have been down and out you do not have any idea how this program works. I was making a lot of money when I was young and am grateful that I had jobs that paid well. One day later in life I came down with medical problem. Never intended to have children. They came around as these things do. I took responsibility and because I did. I receive help to feed my kids WIC SNAP health care and money for bills. Not everyone can make tons of money. I know people work 2 or 3 jobs and still struggle. If you want to hit someone causing the problems go put a petition in to get the oil per barrel lowered those senators and congress sit on those dividend check from the oil futures.

Why do we need feminism?

azzow2 comments on Jan 22, 2018:

From what I have observed is the violence training if you can call it that, starts at a young age at home. To educate people how not to repeat the bad training that was done to them. To point out not to repeat the way bad parents learned from their parents. That to encourage instead of spite children.

Any Aussie Atheists on here?

Even though I am insightful and a source of entertainment within my innercircle. I would hope that they would forget me so as to save them having to grieve. Projects well my kids are my biggest project to make them smarter than the average bear, is my ultimate goal. I think I would start making videos of my philosophies and how I came to those conclusions, so they could learn and build on them. I know the first part counteracts the second part.

What was a disillusionment in your life?

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Can't really call it a disillusion more like had heard about it but never really put it together. When I returned after my tour in the service. I had gotten a job where there were several veterans was sitting in the lunch room about a year after I had stated working. Got to talking to a Vietnam war veteran he was one of the ones that got beaten up in an airport for being in the Vietnam war. He had stated his anger for the treatment he received for simply doing his job. And has resentment that we got greeted with such open arms. First thing I had said to is that we got the welcome home was because the veterans like him made it possible and insured we did not get that shitty treatment. After that we became very close friends. Most unfortunately he has gotten M.S. it has been suggested that agent Orange had some thing to do with that. My guess on your age is close to mine. Oh think I was suppose to say you are 29.

Inequal distibution

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Education is for the people controlled by the government there needs to be standards however those standards differ for every student. The education stressed on everyone meeting a goal at a certain time is absurd. Puts undue pressures on and causes lots of people to drop out or be turned off to learning.

Are you tired of the platitude ' someone will come along when you aren't looking'?

Not good with compliments any way always think that the person giving them has alternative motives.

Agnosticism You reserve judgment on the existence of a supreme being.

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

As a honorable agnostic think it is you duty to cherish and learn from all creeds, religions personalities, both intelligent and the inane, from science and idiocracies to better improve your self so as to help others to improve as well.

Are there others here, who have felt the loneliness in your soul, that feels like a kind of hell?

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

(1)Think you are referring to solitude the emptiness you feel in your head even in the company of others because you can't seem to relate on any level. (2)The loneliness that you feel at home or doing something that you will not have someone to share the memory with. Think when you are alone for long periods of time the second description kind of fades because you just accept this is how it is.

Rights or privileges?

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Unfortunately those privileges get abused in the legal system. If a victim is put on a witness stand their character is assassinated this seems to get sluffed off. If a law enforcement agent has to result to violence they are tried in the media by public opinion. If a criminal commits a heinous crime and it can be proven without a shadow of a doubt that person is housed fed at the taxpayers expense because they have privileges.

What is your take on Satanism? a taboo subject never as far as I know reported in the media.

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

That is a very strange religion because Lucifer translated is angel of light. I have heard in theory that because some thought differently abstractly, that they have knowledge which in turn perceived as light. So being of light, intelligence was thought of as evil.

I'm an idiot about american politics. Why does the government need to shut down? WTF?

azzow2 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

My rule is no spanking violence begets violence do not teach a kid to solve a problem with hitting. Time out shove your kid in a corner or chair now they know how to runaway from a problem. Spite this solves nothing either other than to cause animosity. Logic and reason solve problems. Learning the correct physiological responses and applying them works the best.

What was your favorite television show when you were young?

azzow2 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Alf, Mork and Mindy, Mash. Liked Alf because of the nuances back then like it now because of the sarcastic comments. Mork and Mindy was genuine humor and that in today's tv it is hard to find. Mash The excitement of solving a complex problem with a aspect of humor. Humor applied in our lives makes a solution to a dismal problem more tolerable.

Oh wow.

azzow2 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Every chance you take on an emotional level is like buying a lottery ticket to win millions of dollars. The comparison that demonstrates is your odds improve, if you cut the theory of chaos in half by opting for the same numbers every time. So look for traits in people that you can accept and some that might be new to you. Because every time you try your chances of a positive outcome for you improves.

How about your best "Dad jokes"?

azzow2 comments on Jan 19, 2018:

Not really a joke but it is amusing. This guy buys these cigars and he paid 100,000$ for them they were rare. So he calls up the insurance company and insures the cigars. Then he smokes the cigars. Then he calls the insurance company and turns in a claim for fire damage. The insurance company refuses to honor the claim. The cigar smoker takes the insurance company to court and sue. The judge makes a decision in the case in favor of the cigar smoker. The judge then had the cigar smoker arrested for arson.

Ancient Aliens

azzow2 comments on Jan 19, 2018:

I love the absurdity in this show. They do it with some trickery. I watch it and comontate in my head. One example they like to talk about the aftermath of some super weapon that was discharged in India thousands of years back, never accounting for the phrous that could have done this. They talk about the large stone heads on Easter island the simplest answer for this is they were made to deter passing ships from coming to the island in hopes they would think the island was inhabited by monsters. They never bring up points like this. I do like to watch the show thow it is geared to the novice UFO enthusiasts.

The documentary Zeitgeist.

azzow2 comments on Jan 18, 2018:

Have not watched the documentary. Seems they went out of context what the word zeitgeist means. I have used that word before in construct of a poem. I took it as likes a 60`s hippy rubbed off on the kids or a 80`s look of punk or goth the generation today would emulate them. Could do many more examples. The point being if they wanted to apply it in religious aspects there would be lots of murders those christians like to put people on crosses and if they think your a witch they dunk you in water then tie you to a pole and burn you to death.
