The Muslim situation in America is really complicated.

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

I am British, I live in England. I have grown up with Muslim brothers and sisters for my entire life. There is a tiny number of right wing extremists who hate the muslims and a tiny number of muslims who hate non muslim people. The vast vast majority just plod along as they always have. Stop with your lies.

Horrible vicious creature oh n she isn't northern with that fakey fake Scouse accent

Mosques in America

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Woah where do you even start with this level of pure hatred???? This is utterly disgusting. I live in a British town with 33% Muslims (some are my dear friends) and NOT ONE is involved in radicalised hate crime. Do not do this. The Q'oran is a very ancient text but word for word against the OT there is little difference when it comes to the levels of violence. The thing is we have all evolved. I want to see a peer reviewed study as regards the statistics you claim. Do not fan the flames of hatred.

I would like to wish all my American friends on AGN a very happy 4th of July.

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Awww yer so lovely. I really hope all this Brexit Malarky doesn't create more devisions.

I've always been moderately Liberal, but recently due to all the poisonous rhetoric from the Right ...

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

I have never been MODERATELY anything...come and join us in socialist heaven ;)

Just when you thought you had seen in all

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

I had a pattern for covering an armchair like this. They are actually quite popular here

This site and all of you are really cool! It is nice to "be around" people with a similar core ...

Swear words?

Amisja comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Don't swear

Happy 4th To All The Americans. ??

Amisja comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Mine would be daft silly clever funny guy wanted. Must like gin ;)

I rarely post anything in the Love category, so I figured perhaps it was about time.

Does Conservative Politics exist because Conservative Religion frequently doesn’t ruin lives ...

Amisja comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Conservative politics in the UK came from a laissez faire approach to business during the industrial revolution. The idea that business was sanctimount, above all and should therefore be free to make its own decisions. Consequently they had no problem with child labour or enslaving entire nations because, afterall profit was king. It moved away from the old ideals of kindly paternalistic approach to poverty and believed in functionalism. The labour movement was a response to that. Conservatism here had no real religious base, in fact the opposite is true. It was the left who generally followed religious doctrine. There has been a lie amongst conservative types here and in the US that profits overall will eventually improve everyone's life. Certainly, in the west most people are fed and housed but the gap between rich and poor is huge. We just do not question some people's 'right' to be rich and this to me is wrong. No human has the right to more of the earth's resources than any other. If you then mix a 'god given right' or a belief that you are more blessed than any other people into the argument then you start to see some of the issues you have with the religious right in USA. Add to this the desire to keep the 'underdog down', divide working people by things like race, culture or religion and then try to maintain control with education, healthcare and diet then you have a toxic mix. My views are, paranoid as it seems, religion is social control at its best.

What is something you have never done?

Amisja comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Wow you guys have never lived!

Anyone familiar with Waris Derie?

Amisja comments on Jul 2, 2018:

Its been illegal here for a while. FGM is a ridiculous idea and has no purpose in the modern world. I have cared for several adult victims over the years.

What is your position on abortion.

Amisja comments on Jul 2, 2018:

I think it is not my decision to make for anyone else, however if a person needs this procedure then it should be free at source, available to all, safe and stigma free.

Is the Trump presidency a gift in disguise?

Amisja comments on Jul 2, 2018:

As a Brit (with strong links to USA) the only possible useful thing this administration has done is ignite young people and bring them into the political discourse. When young people start to think about their world the left have powerful allies. Not only do they have strong voices, they have the invincibility of youth. I dislike the comparisons to facism but completely appreciate how the extreme right are exagerrating the fears of the population to further their own ends. However, this gives the left the opportunity to provide an honest alternative. The problem with the left wing in both countries (USA and UK) is complacency. They must provide strong viable alternatives or they look weak. My view is that when the 'noughties' start voting (Don't forget they are 18 this year), the political landscape will look very different. Just get out and vote.

Lovely

People will challenge you.

Amisja comments on Jul 1, 2018:

I have never seen any 'garbage' that you speak of. All I see are kind people who are nice to each other with a little playful banter. You find what you seek in life.

I post therefore I am.

Amisja comments on Jul 1, 2018:

That is true. Prior to this post you weren't, well to me at least. Now you are. I am too. So hello and welcome. I am me and you are you and so far we are doing a good job of it :)

I figured out that I don't hate folding laundry.

Amisja comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Dry your clothes on a washing line. Better for the environment and saves money. I dry mine outside even in winter (as long as its dry). Also the wrinkles drop out. I like doing laundry and ironing but I get so little time to do it I end up with a laundry mountain.

Are there any Football (Soccer) fans watching the World Cup matches from Russia,,,,,,if so who will ...

Amisja comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Its Football and we'll win!

As I mentioned before I have been contributing to the Science Festival at my university this week.

Amisja comments on Jun 29, 2018:

My partner teaches primary school children. He says parents are under a lot pressure to let their girls be like their role models. Why aren't their role models engineers or scientists?

Hello peeps

Who?

Got an entire day off! Its the first in forever.

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Of course so far, I haven't stopped...kitchen blirzed, bathrooms gleaming, vacuumed everywhere, going to do a bit of ironing now...

Maybe it could be called a fetish of sorts; but I do mostly prefer a larger lady.

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

I absolutely hate this. Chubby chasers are the bane of my life. To be viewed just by your size, your brain, abilities, personality become pointless. It means you have to remain large to retain attraction. Its horrible and demeaning. I lost a lot of weight and my ex dumped me. Being very overweight is unhealthy.

Let's see how this goes. Not digging the point system, but whatever.

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Hi there

I had no idea that this place existed so imagine my surprise.

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Hello Mr. Moody. Welcome xxx

Religous beliefs

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

I'm British and no one ever asks. I will ask people from our local Asian community if they are fasting during ramadan because its good to show understanding. I have never been asked this in my life here, although I was often asked what church I went to when I lived in USA. I told them the truth.

What percentage do you feel male and what percentage you feel female?

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

I only feel like me. I have all the requisite girly bits and I like men. I can plaster and do DIY but I am hopeless with cars. I am rubbish with tech and football and absolutely do not get cricket. My Dad would never buy me a 'pint' of anything to drink. I am a traditional northern English woman, hard working, resilient and careful with money. In some cultures I would be seen as masculine, I am also 172cm (about 5ft 8"), its a good day when I remember to brush my hair and I only rarely wear heels. I can't say because being me is all I remember being.

I used to live in Asia, and I would love to get my hands on some Rambutan.

Amisja comments on Jun 25, 2018:

Love it

Things are looking up for me at long last.

Are you gonna be less grumpy now?

Lovely to find a community of like-minded beautiful intelligent people! This makes me super duper ...

Is traveling and being exposed to other people and cultures important and why?

Amisja comments on Jun 22, 2018:

Yes because once you travel you realise theres more alike than different. Most people everywhere, in their own little lives are trying just to get by and to make things better for their kids

I just viewed what was you greatest skill.

Amisja comments on Jun 22, 2018:

My greatest accomplishments are my children. Its been tough. My eldest doesn't speak to me, she was a sickly baby and hard work as a child and a teen. Now she is doing very well. Eventually she will talk to me again but I am very proud of her. She is beautiful sweet funny and intelligent. My middle boys has just finished his BA. He nearly died when he was born and grew up to develop Aspbergers. He is bright funny and kind. He looks beautiful and has a heart of gold. My youngest is a mini me. 6ft 3, kind loving intelligent. He has type 1 diabetes and lots of physical problems. He has been ill a lot but is heading off to York this sept to do philosophy. I of course, remain upright, employed, creative and academic but nothing I acheive, not the doctorate, not papers publish, nothing makes me prouder than those three.

Happy summer solstice!

Amisja comments on Jun 18, 2018:

I am sure a man existed who walked around telling some lovely stories. He wasn't the sun of god. Just a bloke in sandals. There is too much circumstantial evidence (not factual historical I know) for him not to. Bart Ephraims book is the highest authority on this and he does.

I lived a life full of people.

Amisja comments on Jun 18, 2018:

Exactly the same, happened overnight for me. Its takene a long time to recover. Nothing can replace the mostly destroyed relationship, I formally had with my children but I am trying. Gin helps

Supper: GF pasta with spicy wilted kale, smoky fresh corn, intense blushed tomatoes with a ...

Amisja comments on Jun 18, 2018:

I thought GF pasta referred to "girlfriend' pasta...seemed a bit harsh to turn a GF into pasta, but who am I to judge!

What's your favourite city?

All of the above, I also LOVE Singapore...I know it can be vile but I love the people, KL, HK of course. In USA El Paso and San Diego. Canada...hmmm Toronto. However, I am a small town north of England girl...Oswaldtwistle cannot be beat!

Can't abide the man

I don't trust most physicians.

Amisja comments on Jun 15, 2018:

I work for the NHS (and a university) here in UK as a senior clinical practitioner and really resent this post. Not one of my medical colleagues does their job for money! I earn more than most junior doctors and believe you me they work bloody hard! It takes 13 years of training to become a consultant in the UK and doctors are expected to constantly undertake CPD...I know, I contribute to some of this training. I have sat with more tired, anxious junior doctors who feel unable to meet the needs of their patients than I care to remember. It is illegal for medical staff to receive monetary knock backs...we don't even get nice pens anymore. What I'd suggest is if you don't like your doctors...don't go!

Suicide, a luxury of the affluent countries.

Amisja comments on Jun 14, 2018:

This is inaccurate, unlikely to reflect the truth. Suicide is endemic across all human societies and even some mammals. This post is actually harmful because it perpetuates the notion that suicide is about selfishness and priviledge when in fact it is sometimes about altruism. In fact it is more likely to be ignored or death stats recorded inaccurately because of religious or cultural teasons https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1240102/ Please consider the affect of posting such comments.

I just want to thank all of you.
