DUCHESSA comments on Apr 18, 2018:

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.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Opposing cultures

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.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Clinton couldn't be kicked out ....much less they will succeed now.

I made a mistake and am now being shamed for it, I went out with a couple of friends because it was ...

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 16, 2018:

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:

Because some people are miserable....

Just got rejected because I'm an atheist.

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:

To take care of a person is '" to be there when he/she needs you"

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:

Lionel Messi

Post your weekend plans.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I am planning to take a morning walk (local park)...then -same park- to seat and read / complete a crochet lap blanket for the veterans.

What to do about AIDS....?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 13, 2018:

MAN: What to do about AIDS? BISHOP: Follow the Church's guidelines. MAN: But I don't like kids

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:

Since in my culture the bad luck takes place on Tuesday the 13...I am perfectly lucky in USA. :)

Do you believe there are aliens walking among us?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Each and every time I see my neighbor I believe they are....LOL

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Go ahead and find out....

Gotta love it... [youtube.com]

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?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 11, 2018:

Talk to a professional

When religion is more important then education?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Never

Growing my beard for my Central America trip in 2 weeks.

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

What does Central America have to do with growing a beard?

Compliments

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Sure....

Have you settled on being single?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I was told that at my age I should settle... Should I?

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

Do you believe all children are naturally born Atheist?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Of course...!

Is it unreasonable to not want people to call me after I get home from work?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 10, 2018:

No, you are not....and your friends are selfish.

What is the one creature, snake, spider, rodent, bat, etc, that creeps you out the most?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

spiders

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?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

Many: "Under the boardwalk, Cambalache (Spanish / tango), Cielito Lindo, Guantanamera, Girls just want to have fun, Time to say Good Bye, O mio babbino caro, Nessum Dorma..."

What's up with personal hygiene these days?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

this thread is a good one; it has helped me know who else I should block.

Do you talk to yourself?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

All the times and twice on Sundays.

What are your dealbreakers?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

Religious / has kids

What is the first thing you are attracted to in a man or woman?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 9, 2018:

The intelligence I can read on a person's expressions.....specially his/her facial expressions.

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?

What would you do if two...

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:

I always say that to bring to this world -knowingly- a child with such condition is criminal.

Why losing a dog can be harder than losing a relative or friend

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:

My cat never hurt me....more than one human did.

What do you look forward to getting out of bed for every morning?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:

Another day....

What is your favorite place to eat that is not fast food?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:

It all depends on what I want to eat. Of I want a real BBQ I will go to an Argentinian or Uruguayan restaurant but if Irish food is calling an Irish pub near my home is the place.

Why do men get so mad when they get rejected?
