My late husband; he showed me that there are people who can be trusted...
Where Does Religion Come From?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 18, 2018:
It comes from the uncanny need of people to explain those things for which there is not an explanation.
How do you tell religious people that you're an atheist?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 18, 2018:
By saying "I am Atheist".
Just throwing this out there from a discussion I had with my mother this morning.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 18, 2018:
Maybe because everybody knew McCain wasn't going to win?
Why are you a loner?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:
I was told by people I make very bad first impressions... I guess this's the reason why I am always alone.
Atheism and socialization
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:
Who wants to socialize with believers....? pleeeeeeeeeeease
Has anyone come across any fake profiles?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:
No exactly "fake" but one person with two profiles. I reported the situation.
Why might a man and a woman who are: 1.

Being offended: What does it REALLY mean?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:
Well, it seems for some people is a lot easier to be offended / embarrassed than to turn around and go their merry way. Is an attempt -quite unsuccessful- at controlling people and saving face
This Stormy Daniels fiasco is a waste of resources and energy.

Nobody can stop you from seeking medical help.
Why does it seem that some people go out of their way to be unpleasant?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:
She did you a favor. YOU HAVE NOT IDEA WHAT IT IS TO DEAL WITH A LUNATIC AND HER "DEVOUT FAMILY"
Atheist perspective: Becoming atheist does not mean you have to change everything about you – ...
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:
The problem is that people....in their induced ignorance....believe every stupid thing their pastor / priest / deacon tells them....Why they tell them these things? Because they are very scared of the rise and spreading of Atheism; they see their "golden hen" flying away from their pockets.
I've screwed up again.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:
Always remember "no to feel guilty for seeking your own happiness". Other people happiness is not your responsibility.
When did you realize you were old?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:
never, dear, never.....
Has anyone read Richard Carrier's book about the Historicity of Jesus and the weakness of the ...
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:
Does people really need a book to tell them how ridiculous is to believe that an entity -which conveniently looks like a human- jumps from cloud to cloud, 24 x 7, and watches everything we do? Please, we are reaching the first quarter of the XXI century and the stupidity has to go....Mankind needs to jump out of this ignorance.
HOT or COLD, or somewhere in between maybe... What kind of showers do you prefer?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
Who uses filters in the shower? I do.
HOT or COLD, or somewhere in between maybe... What kind of showers do you prefer?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
I used to enjoy pretty hot showers....until the day I woke up with an eczema that covered almost my entire back; it was hot and feverish. The dermatologist prescribed some meds but I ignored him and used coconut oil, Eczema gone in two days. Now, only warm showers.
69 Visitors and no one says 'hello'
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
After reading / answering your post I went to my profile and I found out that 278 members visited it since I joined. Guess what? No one said "Hello" to me. Should I cry and get depressed?
Embarrassing nickname?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
No embarrassing nickname but a "pisses me off diminutive". While some people call me Sil (I love it) other had the bad taste of addressing me as "Silvita". I ignored them.
69 Visitors and no one says 'hello'
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
Why I visit a profile? To see if the person "is what I am looking for". OK? Well, let say I find a gent that fulfills most of what I want in a partner...but he lives 2,000Kms /miles away. You can bet your nose -and win- I won't say hello to that person.
How many of you older people listen to current pop music, or is it only "noise" to you?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 15, 2018:
I LIISTEN TO MUSIC. PERIOD. FOR INSTANCE, THE HIT "DESPACITO" FASCINATES ME BUT ONLY IF PLAYED WITH VIOLINS. I don't care for a song if it lacks harmony...or the lyrics are only a bunch of senseless rhymes.
What is your idea of a man "taking care of" a woman?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 14, 2018:

How long to wait before going on dates?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 14, 2018:
One day you will wake up and feel "It's time".
Making whites white again.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 14, 2018:
Mrs. Steward's bluing. Bluing the whites is as old as ever. If I am not mistaken, the whitening properties of this colloid was discovered by accident when a "piece of blue" fall in one of the batches where paper was being made ions ago
So, actually met a local guy FROM THIS WEBSITE for coffee and dinner last night.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 14, 2018:
Details...we want details....:)
My parents send me good morning text every other day.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 14, 2018:
Do they send those greetings in an attempt to convert you or, simply, because that's the way they feel? If the first scenario is the case, tell them they are wasting their and your time; if if the 2nd... go in your merry way and don't say anything. I would....
I'm currently parenting a teen in the age of social media and instant gratification.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:
At the "very mature age OF 12 Y/O" my brother told my parents he was quitting school and going to work. My mother told him "OK, but also find a place to live because we don't like freeloaders. " My mother knew he would go to my grandmother's home. My mother called my granny and told her what was going on. Granny, wise as ever, said not to worry. Yes, my brother went to granny's....three hrs away, by train. From the go she gave him work in exchange for food/shelter. My brother had to paint the entire fence, go into town to get the newspaper and other necessities -every day before 5 am, help the ranch's foreman and few other things.... After a week he was back home and ready to return to school.
Famous person?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:

Oooooooohh Lancer gooot bloooocked.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:
Bad news, this weekend Westchester county, NY will have an event to get gun owners to give up their guns and receive money in return. The legislators are so stupid; they believe the criminals will give up their weapons. Revolting.
Anyone ever had anything bad happen on Friday the 13th?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 12, 2018:

What are the best movie lines of all time?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 12, 2018:
"Frankly, my dear...I don't give a dam." " Because you, Your Honor, you are a douche bag."
I recently became single because my ex decided he couldn't live with my cat.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 12, 2018:
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever
Have you ever felt guilty about how you treated someone.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 11, 2018:
No, not guilty but kind of ashamed about my reaction. The fact the other person deserved to be put on her place doesn't justify my choice of words.
Have you ever met anybody who actually believed the Earth was 6,000 years old?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 11, 2018:
Yes, several individuals....and all of them share a common indicator: They never finish grammar school
I don't get the attraction. Some one explain the allure.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 11, 2018:
Attraction? Allure? Nahh..........Comfort? Yes
Prayer at extended family meals
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 11, 2018:
I never had prayers at home because I was born into an Atheist family....but when I go to a person's home I don't participate in saying grace or prayers...and if they ask me to leave I do. Conversely, if a person insists in praying / saying grace in my home...or evangelizing the other friends I ask that person to leave...if he/she doesn't I call the cops and have him/her removed.
How do you channel your anger?

Is abortion morally objectionable?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:
WELL, IN MY OTHER COUNTRY THE DEBATE ON ABORTION IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. I WISH i WAS THERE TO TELL SOME LEGISLATORS HOW IS THE LIFE OF A KID WHOSE "MOTHER" WANTED TO ABORT HIM /HER BUT WAS CONVINCED TO HAVE THE CHILD. What is morally objectionable is to try to impose one's way of thinking on another person. In the case of abortion it could lead to the most horrible neglect a child could endure

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

What are your silliest/most unreasonable fears?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:
Sharkphobia...LOL At 4 y/o I asked if at the bottom of the Patagonian's rivers (which are crystal clear) sharks were swimming. My "adorable 18 y/o sister" placed my head under water for an eternity to show me no sharks were around. Since them I don't swim with my head under the water. LOL
Texas Bill Prohibiting Male Masturbation Moves Closer To Becoming Law
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:
Maybe this bil -if voted into law-will teach the stupid legislators that women reproductive rights must be respected. I hope you guys see the sarcasm and the message conveyed by this bill.

Have you ever changed your name - I don't mean for a pseudonym like here but changed it for real?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:
I don't think most people will tell you about this because they may have very powerful reasons to change their last name...but I know a lady who did so on account of the horrible teasing her last name caused.her.
What's a song that either gets you up and dancing or has you harmonizing along with it?

I'm just gonna say this now so I don't blindside anyone, but I'm a bigger girl.
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:
I allow myself to guess you have been teased / insulted on account of your weight. This world is plagued with ass..e who are too busy looking at other people to avoid fixing themselves. To be overweight -three lbs or twenty lbs- is only a problem if it affects your health. I care about the person...and a skinny / fat ass...e won't make my friend list. Welcome and be happy.
What would you do if two...
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:
A friend was informed by his wife's physician that she is carrying a baby with Down Syndrome. My friend refuses to hear any reason. He says the doctor may be wrong. How much denial is too much denial?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:

Fellow agnostics, how do you feel about believers joining?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:
I have seen kids as young as 6 months old in nude resorts and beaches. See, if you hide something...the natural curiosity of the kids will make them to look for it...and they will find it..the same with the body.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:

Is social anxiety a problem for anyone else?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:
When I receive a "Hello"....I check the guy's profile before responding (or not) since several factors will condition my answer. Age, distance, level of education, children....will help me to decide whether I answer his note or not. People should realize that "no answer" is an answer.
What wrong assumptions do people frequently make of you?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:
This is a funny one...at least for me. I was eating lunch at a restaurant near the school where I last taught. I was chatting on the phone with a friend when a restaurant patron approached me and said "You all Spics factory workers go back home." I ignored him and I went back to the school to prepare things for Parents / Teachers Night. Guess who came in...with his daughter? Yes the guy who called me Spic. IAW, many people assume I am an ignorant, person because I speak with an accent. The guy...after the conference....said to me "I will never judge another person. " I reminded silent.

What do you say on facebook to friends or family that have lost a loved one?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 7, 2018:

Admitting when you’re wrong..
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 6, 2018:
Since my teens and until my forties I was "never wrong"....One day a friend who knew me from childhood told me why I acted in such stupid way. She said: "You -like most in our generation- were taught how to do everything the right way by being told that you were always wrong." She was correct and until that day I was a person who had great difficulty accepting when I was wrong.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 5, 2018:
I just saw the "caravan" of Hondurans walking to reach Mexico City; to see them and no to cry is very difficult. I am human. Now, I ask: What is the Honduran government doing to prevent this exodus....what are the authorities doing to provide those basic needs all human being deserve....? Why, again and again, must be USA the country that helps them? Please.

Would you raise your children religious just to fit in?
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 4, 2018:

Changing times
DUCHESSA comments on Apr 3, 2018:
If we look at the increasing numbers of Atheists....we may say eventually mankind will be saved from mythology....but this will happen centuries from today. See, mankind used to believe the tides were the result of Poseidon' s rage...when the effect of the moon on the tides was "discovered" humans discarded Poseidon from their daily prayers...but it took a long time for this cultural change to happen. The same will happen when mankind discovers there is not a God with whom to share a cup of coffee / to ask for favors.
