Are there any special purpose in our life other than eating, drinking, sleeping, making merry, ...

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 10, 2018:

You could make it special by volunteering for a cause that speaks to you, or caring for an ill relative, or mentoring a student (Big Brothers/Sisters?) Or having fun could be plenty for you!

Does "the atheist closet" detract from what homosexual individuals went through?

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 10, 2018:

IMO Things did not really change for LGBTQ people until they got loud & proud & people realized it was their brothers, sons, best friends, not "aliens" to be feared. I have seen a number of posts on here, especially lately, where people "came out" to their families, with trepadition, only to find their family was atheist/ agnostic as well!

Last week I had a terrible scare.

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 10, 2018:

ALDI sells non-GMO, grain-free "their brand" dry dog food very reasonably. I have seen my dogs become more playful & somehow "brighter" (especially the older one) since they have been on it about 3 months. And their coats look great too...i used to spend about 6× more with less results.

I think I’ve been messaged by a scammer.

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 10, 2018:

Anybody that calls you "dear" (Or WTF "pretty) right off the bat, BLOCK IMMEDIATELY!

I was parking today and this ahole came out of nowhere and took my spot.

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 10, 2018:

Getting shot over a parking space is a Real possibility nowadays! Stay in your car! Keep looking! Is any parking space worth Death?! Or a record or jail sentence for your brother?!

Can anyone show me scientific proof that a fetus is not human?

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 9, 2018:

A fetus completely meets the definition of "parasite". ( Wholly dependent on the host.) So, do you also encourage tapeworms, and the like? Am I going to hell because I have had puppies de-wormed? Those poor living things, ripped from their warm, safe, nutrient-filled coziness! I weep for them! You?

What is the meaning of life for a godless man/woman/country/world??

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 9, 2018:

It means i do not have to grovel in front of some vengeful superbeing, nor worry about "original sin" nor being judged by someone who allows child rape wars, & starvation. It means i can keep my money for charities that actually Do something, or,,hey, ACLU, anyone? It means i can sleep in Sundays. It means i can take credit for my own actions, like being kind & helpful to others. I can vote my conscience! I could go on here......

Having experienced all the fun of being married to a violent drunk, I am Much happier if they drink coffee, or club soda, whrerever we may be. However, If they remain in control of themselves, I have NO problem, because it is Their choice...i am not their mother!

Stereotypes are facts of life.

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 9, 2018:

Can anyone show me scientific proof that a fetus is not human?

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 8, 2018:

The Babble says so...kill a fetus, pay a fine. Look it up! Take a look at one, around 6 weeks it is almost indistinguishable from a rat, panda, or any other mammalian fetus. Certainly not human-looking, unable to live outside the host (the definition of parasite, actually). Keeps looking alien-ish for most of the pregnancy. Until actually born, totally dependent on it's host.

So have a lot of other women!,! I call/email/ my "representatives" regularly. I also worked hard for Bernie! Does this fool think I sat on my ass all these years & then suddenly woke up? And that the other women trying to help their sisters sat around and played bridge all these years.? And that none of them have experienced unpleasant sexual situations, ever? Or is he trying to minimize this movement? Idiot!

Saw this on my feed and dear lord.

AnneWimsey comments on Oct 8, 2018:
