Please PM me with their user names, I have encountered several men in the past few days that I believe to be scammers. I don't usually check out the ladies, or get checked out by the ladies. I can check photos and other details to see if they need to be reported or just watched.

Here they are. Got them both early this morning and they haven't advanced: Mi-Nguyen and SandraJoy.

While I don't buy into the Sikh religion and know they are quite misogynistic, they are usually level headed, unless honor is at stake - at which point, they are reminiscent to book and media interpretations akin to 18th and 19th European/American dueling culture.

I was reminded of Chuck Berry today.

Marionville comments on May 9, 2021:

Cool story. I remember buying a few Chuck Berry records in my teens.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 9, 2021:

I wish I had known. In my son's defense, he didn't expect it. He was going to the concert to cover it for the school paper and then his cousin called and needed a last minute replacement - my son only had a couple of hours, but he said there really isn't much keyboard work in Berry's music.

I was wondering why they always seemed angry. Your ideas?

Beowulfsfriend comments on May 9, 2021:

Personally, I find a fair amount that I like, in the alternative range mostly.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 9, 2021:

@glennlab I know. I don't like much, at all, of the top pop stuff. Alternative is mostly still rooted in more classic rock and folk and blues.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 8, 2021:

I total agree with you KK. I would add, for myself, I dont believe a government should ever be in the business of killing its own citizens. Personally, I see making it legal to kill your own a slippery slope. Murder and treason can soon become other crimes, first for other bad crimes and then who knows.

Do all religious people lack a sense of humour ?

Beowulfsfriend comments on May 3, 2021:

While atheists, like the religious, come in all shapes and carry different paths, I will say just once - list the dead due to atheists and compare that to a list the dead due to religious people, especially fanatics. There is no comparison.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 3, 2021:

@Diogenes I find capitalism far more evil than most anything except a monarchy and such. I fully support socialism; I would even argue that on paper, communism is fine, it just lends itself to becoming taken over by a tyrant strong man when put into action by humans.

Beowulfsfriend replies on May 3, 2021:

@racocn8 They were simply authoritarian dictators, not unlike any other tyrants from history. Too many blame communism, simply vilifying with no understanding of it. As a philosophy, communism is no worse nor no better than others. In my opinion, however, it will never work because it lends itself to allowing for a one man authoritarian rule to occur. Thus, I would not support it. In some ways, Stalin and Mao became their own cult figures, not unlike a number of religious leaders. Besides, who really knows what either man actually felt toward religion. Most likely Mao was more atheist, but many of the Soviet leaders had close ties with the Russian Orthodox church. Remember, the Russian Orthodox Church was financed by the Soviet government. I am pretty sure that Lenin wanted to end that involvement; he just up and died and Stalin took over, fully.
