fishline79 replies on Feb 12, 2020:
@gigihein I had a cat once, whose favorite game was fetching a rolled up cigarette soft pack and bringing it back. Then I would toss it into a cowboy boot and he would dive into the boot and get it out. Another one loved to play hide and seek. We would take turns and she would creep slowly through the house to discover my hiding place. One time I jumped up onto a table in the kitchen and when she crept around the portal from the dining room and didn't see me, I yelled BOO, and she pissed on the floor. I felt like a heel! But she could play this game for hours.

@WilliamFleming Tell that to the "Cult" who are currently calling themselves the U.S, Senate (Republican Party). Are they trying to work toward a future where all Americans are treated with respect? If so, then why are they helping this New York City Mafia Don Paranoid Schizophrenic Talk Show Host con artist use the Country as his own personal Ego defense mechanism? What do they (virtually all from Southern States) stand to get out of destroying what everybody keeps telling me is the greatest country in the world? It isn't Donald Trump who is tearing up our Constitution. It is them with the help of Russia and others! They are bitter from being the ones who lost their precious "Confederacy of Greed" 170 years ago and have been trying to "Rise Again" ever since. Wake up, America! The trouble with the average American is that they know, and are told nothing about what lies outside their own nationalistic "Father Land". I have lived in four other countries but mainly in Spain (which was under a fascist Dictator for 40 years and will never forget what it was like) If you want to see what this country really is, you have to step away from it, The average American knows nothing about anything outside their boarders. We don't even see International news on TV anymore. I'll grant you the South does not have a monopoly on bigotry and we all have a lot to learn about respect for all people, but we are not the "United States" anymore, and never were.

He FIRED the prosecutors of Roger Stone and ordered the judge to give him a reprieve. The Democrats need to get off their asses and start fighting fire with fire. He has control of two and 1/2 branches of government and it's just starting. THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED and there is nothing anybody can do about it. At least Bernie is trying. If everybody wimps out, what hope do we have? I'll vote for anybody they put up. Maybe it will be Blumberg. At least that would be fighting fire with fire. That man who chastised me for exaggerating the Hitler connection is in denial. Just watch Trump and don't be surprised if they set fire to "The "Reichstadt" and blame it on the Democrats.

Yes, and what Bernie says is not just currently self-serving and expedient. His words have been falling on deaf ears for over thirty years. Also, remember Trump telling us in 2015 he's financing his campaign with his own money. Yeah, right! He never paid for anything with his own money. Even his golfing trips to Maralago cost US nearly $200,000,000 last year! At least Bernie (who doesn't have money) uses grass-roots funding and sticks to his message instead of proffering whatever is currently popular with his doting base. BTW, according to a recent (Washington Post?) pole, He, Biden and Blumberg are currently running at around 70-75% national projection to beat Trump, but that's only if it's a real, honest election, so don't hold your breath.

Fernapple comments on Feb 7, 2020:
There is an obvious illogic in the end times ideology of most fundamentalists, once expressed as. "How can you claim to honour god , and yet despise his creation." If you follow the Abrahamic religious logic, that the children of Adam and Eve were given the task of caring for and tending god's ...

I don't find it so hard to discuss with Christians this way of looking at things. We need to convince them in their way of thinking, not ours. If you have to tell them how unicorns, fairies, Santa Claus, angels and demons will become extinct if they don't care for the world, then so be it.

One way to go is the story of Noah's Ark. Whether they believe in it literally or symbolically God told Noah to save all the animals in the world.

In many ways, the natural world has been considered an adversary threatening life; one which God often uses through its extreme such as floods and earthquakes to punish humans for defying God in some way. We still use the phrase "acts of God" in insurance to describe certain incidents with no ...

Yes indeed. Didn't 'God" tell us we have "Dominion" over the creatures of the Earth? Interestingly the spanish language uses the word "dominate" to describe our relationship with animals, whereas, in english we use "train" (to teach). I'm not sure what significance that has, if any, but it seems to relate to two different religious interpretations.I prefer ours. I guess King James I wouldn't agree.

This reminds me of a time when I was riding in a car with other people. One man rolled down the window and threw a wadded up piece of paper out of it. I asked why he threw litter on the ground.

Interesting anecdote. What a way to transmogrify his understanding of religion. Even I, an agnostic, live by the one "Golden Rule" that his Jesus taught. That is the only lesson the so called Christians need, and the only one they reject!

“WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO GET CHRISTIANS TO CARE ABOUT THE EARTH?” Most religious groups avoid officially taking sides on political and social issues. Those that do take sides often splinter into sects or erode nearly away. That doesn’t prevent extremists of all sorts from flocking in to hawk...
fishline79 replies on Feb 7, 2020:
They don't even care about their 'soul". At the heart of the NEW Republican Party is the Southern Christian Evangelical movement, and they use Christianity the way Trump uses the words "believe me". The dogma they have been fed all their lives is nothing more than rhetoric they learned by rote and if they can't even apply it to respect for an oath to uphold the Constitution, I guess the planet their "god" created in seven days isn't worth any more respect.

They are visited by tour boats, mostly European and Russian but you can't see anyplace from a tour boat! Mahon is the second deepest natural port in the world (in distance from sea to port). It also housed the first US Naval Academy (ca. 1820). Look it up.

To me that sounds almost as vulnerable to theft and mail fraud and duplication and other such interference as voting on computers. The old mechanical voting machines I grew up with worked great and were virtually tamper-proof. Either use them or a box with a slot. Furthermore, people say the new electronic voting machines are a closed circuit, and maybe so, but the results have to be sent out to be tabulated and can be intercepted at that juncture. Computer technology is destroying our lives and institutions.
