Spinliesel comments on May 7, 2018:

What could be the possible reason for making left handed cutters almost twice as expensive as right handed ones? Yes, i know, what the market will bear. Capitalist bastards. There is no more technology or assembly costs in making right handed versis left handed tools. I'll have to start scouring...

Cast1es replies on May 17, 2018:

The difference in cost , has to do with the concept of mass production . I've read that only about 6% of the population are left handed , so many fewer left handed tools will be purchased , bearing in mind that , due to lack of availability , many left handed folks learn to do things in a right handed manner , so there is an even smaller demand for left handed tools of any kind .

@joeymf86 You do not have to be Catholic, join as a couple (although that may be cheaper), or listen to ANY religious stuff to use their facilities . They don't hassle you . You check in at the desk at the front door . Your initial post , started out saying you don't hang out in clubs or bars , etc , then asked what others did . Sounded like you were asking for suggestions , to me . So , I apologize for trying to help . And if that's the case , then you'll be happiest sitting home alone .

Cast1es replies on May 14, 2018:

@Myah Yes , college courses are expensive . My parents did not put me through college . And while my Mom took a couple of night courses after high school , my Dad did not even graduate ninth grade . They moved to a different country . I began taking one or two classes a semester at my local community college , after I separated from my Mother-in-law , while working full time , and taking care of everything , on my own . I never borrowed money for courses , I earned it , and paid as I went , because I chose not to be in debt any more than I absolutely needed to be . Today's students borrow money , with no concept of paying it back , because , after all , they have a **very** low interest rate . Then , after twenty to thirty years of being in arrears on their payments , they want the debt they never bothered paying , to simply go away . This debt was paid for by the taxes everyone in the US paid for . We, the tax payers , loaned them money at a **very** low interest rate , to provide a better future for themselves . They made very poor choices , taking courses because they looked to be fun , didn't require a lot of home-work , could hang out with the fun crowd , etc . , instead of courses that would provide them with future support , then didn't bother repaying the loans . This , by the way , is the story of a woman I rented rooms to . Oh , and there was one other thing . She decided she wanted to have sex with a drummer , even though they realized they didn't have contraceptives , and when she told him she was pregnant , he walked away . Yeah , let's raise my taxes even more , so I can help pay off the loans , these ne'r do wells inccured .

@hemingwaykitten If homosexual people didn't marry and have children with straight folks , there'd be no concern about them passing on that gene , if there even is such a thing . A problem has been more along the line that homosexuals have been afraid to , "Come out ," so married and had children with straight , even though it wasn't what they truly wanted . I am pleased that , in this day and age , same sex couples can both marry and also adopt a family . Although I can't speak for all , the ones I do know , seem to be doing a great job of parenting !

Cast1es replies on May 5, 2018:

Yes, you are correct , sex always involves some cost . Serial murders , often choose prostitutes as victims , because they're people unlikely to be missed . Male serial murders outnumber female serial murders 6:1 . I have yet to hear of any man , who was raped by a woman , who got him pregnant . While men are congradulated for getting lucky , young women are still shamed for it . And yet , if a woman refuses to have sex with a man , he immediately labels her as being a slut , then broadcasts it to their social pool . If a woman is drugged and raped , and she reports it , in this country , they take her to a hospital for a rape kit , which is again invasive , embarrising , and more often than not immediately shelved . In some foreign countries , a woman who was raped , is sentenced to death by stoning , for having sex outside of marriage . If she survives a rape , and becomes pregnant , she then has to make some serious choices . 1. Will she abort the fetus (costly . guilt , shame) . 2. Will she have the child and put it up for adoption ( frequent doctor appointments , medications , morning sickness , time off from work , time off work for the delivery period , recovery period , possible loss of job altogether , deciding whether to give up a child for adoption or to keep the child . Cost of orphanages or foster care until (if) child is adopted . IF she decides to keep the child , then clothing , furniture , medical care , child care when she returns to work (2015 census reports it now costs over $250,000 to raise a child ) . So yes , you are correct . Sex does indeed cost money . More often than not , it costs a woman , many times more than the tiny amount a man invests in it .

Cast1es replies on May 4, 2018:

Actually , the air was much , much more polluted , just a few years ago . Adding air cleaners to the automotive system AND having them routinely tested , has made dramatically cleaner air . While I think contraceptives would lesson the concern about genetically damaged children , there will be , "mistakes ," made , and there will be those who challenge the concept , and decide to have children anyhow . Even being careful , there are likely to be problems , because some children don't know who their sperm donars are , whether it was a matter of artificial insemination or whether it was a matter of adoption or even mistaken identification of the true father .

Then , after 14 laser treatments to each eye , they told me I had glacomma , so they began the needle treatments , in my right eye . I couldn't see or feel improvement , Last visit they told me the right eye had developed leaks , so they skipped the needles . This visit , they were concerned about the left eye leak , so they did the laser , It's very irritated , to the point there are occasional tears rolling down my check . Left the Dr's office at 12:00 noon . It's now 9:37 P.M. Over the years , there have been other occasions , with other kinds of doctors , where the treatment has caused problems , rather than fixing them .

What would you say to God if when you died you were faced with him?

Why all the genital mutilation

Cast1es replies on Apr 24, 2018:

In countries which routinely remove the clitros , the plan is to keep women faithful , by seeing to it that they don't enjoy sex . In religions , that require the foreskin be removed , the concept is that there will be fewer penis infections , do to that area not being properly and thoroughly cleaned routinely .

Pakistan has more Muslim fanatacism than, I believe, any other country. More even than Iran, etc. This is mainly due to the majority having very little education, and the girls even less. That is why I find it disturbing that the USA gives so much financial aid to Pakistan, without demanding any ...

So beautiful ! I appreciate your efforts in my behalf . I took a course , designed for those recovering from hip replacements . We stood in a heated swimming pool and each exersize was similar to these , and limited in number . They said to expect recovery from the exersizes , to take one to three hours . For me , the pain from the exersize lasted three days after each class . Osteo arthritis is when the cartiledge , which is supposed to cushion where the ends of your bones meet at your joints , has worn away . Think of driving your car with no lubricants . This was twenty eight years ago now .

@Texasrunner That's good advice and , when the I had the good sense to divorce my mother-in-law , I joined Holiday Spa , where I could workout in the gym and there was a life guard for my girls , at the pool . Eventually , years later , I developed osteo arthritis , a slow but progressively deteriorating incurable disease . Walking is painful .

My Dad was a fall down drunken drug addict and my Mom was his enabler. You can fill in the rest... I told them both to go to the Hell they believed in, 18 years ago, and slept good ever since:):)

Be a little careful about transferring your assets too early . Read about a couple who ut their house in their son's name , to avoid taxes. Within a week he had them evicted .

I have heard that older people go on cruises and spend their money on that instead of retirement homes. I'm not sure where I read about it. But from what I hear, they will take care of you on the ship, you always have people to help you move about whether in a wheelchair etc... While you are on ...

I read/heard of similar comments , years ago , and did a very small bit of research at the time. The scheduals I saw , showed ships cruised for a few weeks , then were in their home port for a week or two . I wondered if the crew remained on board during the time in home port , and if they were taking care of passengers while in home port .
