Cast1es comments on Jul 6, 2018:

We often work by habit . Have you ever noticed , once you got into the habit of driving to work every workday , you don't think about it . It's almost as if your body took over driving for you and you , "wake ," up after you arrive . You go to a movie , and habitually order the same snack each time you go there . Your mind considered your thing to do (or not ) with this person , so you don't think about it anymore . It takes some thought on your part , to break the habit , make a decision , and once you've made that decision , follow through .

Certainly didn't make the girls like them .

Why doen't the FDA investigate the drug industry for using false statistics to place drugs that are ...

Cast1es comments on Jul 4, 2018:

The FDA used to be much better at protecting the populace from dangerous drugs . Unfortunately , the big corporations got to the politicians , who then reduced the efficiency of the FDA in favor of the corporations making lots of money . Remember DDT , the farmers used to use to kill varmints in the corn fields ? The poison was showing up in other wild life ( like the American Eagle ) . and their egg shells were so thin , that the eggs didn't last long enough for the eaglets to hatch ? I suspect it was also causing plasticine in American women , who were not able to get pregnant . Then there was thalimitide (sp) . This was the drug they gave to pregnant women in the early 1960s , to prevent morning sickness . A lot of infants were born missing fingers, toes , arms , legs , eyes , and genitelia , until the CDC made a public broadcast about it on the evening news .

Fear Or Ignorance

Cast1es comments on Jul 4, 2018:

My neighborhood is very mixed , I don't have a problem with other races being here . I've recently seen write ups about burglary , though , and what burglars do prior to committing those crimes . I would , be cautious and possibly proactive , if I saw outsiders acting in a suspicious manner . If you've read the article , she saw the politician hanging around the neighborhood and taking notes on her cell phone , after speaking with neighbors . She did not confront the politician . She asked the police to check out this outsider , which they did . This would not have been an issue if the politician wasn't black . Black wasn't the issue to begin with . An outsider hanging around , and taking notes at each house seemed suspicious , and the police checked out the situation and eased the homeowners concern . It wasn't a racist issue until a reporter decided to make it a raciest issue .

Wikipedia Can't Tell You Why Intelligent People Have a Hard Time Dating - Psych2Go

Cast1es comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Girls are raised with different training and different goals in mind . Boys are taught about football , baseball , hockey , basketball , soccor , hunting , golf , and encouraged to go out and have sex , just don't get caught . At least , when I was growing up , girls were taught cooking , sewing , child care , balance a budget , and have a low paying job . We weren't taught anything at all about sex , beyond , "Don't do it ." In seventh grade , they separated the entire seventh grade into boys and girls and showed us separate movies . The girls movie was a Walt Disney cartoon , very carefully designed , not to teach you anything , if you didn't already know it . Several girls of my class , had to leave school , because they got pregnant . The entire set up was incredibly stupid and didn't work . While I have met a very few fathers with custody of their children , the ones I have met , have arranged for someone else to actually care for them , often their own mother , or they remarry and the new wife is settled with that responsibility . It's nice to hear that fathers actually do , the child care .

In my opinion , many people have selective hearing and selective memories . They don't want to know , so they choose not hear or listen . Deal with that long enough , and you give up trying , to make yourself heard or understood . If you repeat yourself , they label you a nag , and still make no effort . Another step in the killing love effort . Then they decide , "that one's cold , no passion , doesn't even want sex ." Not with a complete stranger , who chooses to know absolutely nothing about me , who accepts all that is done for them , but does nothing in return .

We all have strengths and weaknesses .

If they truly felt they were equal , they wouldn't have to cut others down to their size . Being here is not about being a snob , or being better than . Being here , is feeling comfortable with those who have like or similar strengths . Just because you may be disabled , does not mean you aren't intelligent . Think of Stephen Hawking , for instance . While he wouldn't have been running in a marathon , it's also unlikely that the marathon runners , would have been competing with him in the scientific community . Be glad of who you are . Be pleased with what you accomplish . Enjoy doing the things you can do . Strive to improve whatever skills you have . Enjoy being with friends of a like mind . You have value . Intelligence will advance science . Intelligence will improve the world for everyone .

When it comes to death, I may have a weird view.

Cast1es comments on Jun 27, 2018:

If you die , but realize what you left behind , then it's reasonable to think that they will follow you into where ever you wind up . On the other hand , if you are reincarnated , you may or may not bring some memories with you , but they don't seem to cover much or last long on average . While physics seems to suggest that matter may change form , but it doesn't just become nothing . There are those who've weighed the dying and they claim there's a difference in weight of humans of several ounces between the dying and when they're dead . I guess that would suggest ghosts have some weight , if ghosts exist . But , in the end , we have no choice in the matter . What will be , will be .
