WEDDING PROPOSAL.

Athena comments on Jul 5, 2018:

I think some women would love a spectacle during a proposal. You Tube has hundreds of them where the women is ecstatic. There could be a couple of things going on in this case. This woman is not someone who enjoys a more public display, or she was unsure she wanted to accept. He put her in an ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

The Youtube proposal...I bet...are orchestrated. No, is not her fault; she is a private person and he is a bombastic SOB that wanted to get his way. He clearly said he wanted to have a good laugh.

Argentina just signed into law the Justine bill (organ donation).

Denker comments on Jul 5, 2018:

It's like that here in the Netherlands as well. The most disturbing thing is that this altered the qualification about when death occurs, for some organs to be effectively harvested they have to come out before decay starts which is quite early in the dying process.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

Who is there to tell me that certain organs were not harvested while the person was still alive? The movie "Coma" (1970s) should be played again.

bigpawbullets comments on Jul 5, 2018:

Sound like a dangerous first step.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

Indeed.

Davesnothere comments on Jul 5, 2018:

And as such would be in violation of the very premise of law itself, the sanctity of your human form. All laws regard your body as your own property, which can be stolen from, killed and so forth, violating those laws. If they take the right of Body integrity from you after death, then what is to ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

your speech doesn't fly with me...I am all for organs donation but on my terms.

KelseyScott comments on Jul 5, 2018:

I kinda like the law. I am personally an organ donor. So perhaps my judgment is skewed, however I believe that upon my passing, that is to say that I no er need use of my organs. Then what should any of my remains, if, big if here, I don't treat my body well, is usable for another that they should ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

I am all for organ donation...but don't impose it on me.

Marionville comments on Jul 5, 2018:

There are quite a lot of countries in Europe who have adopted this system so it’s certainly not the first. Here in the UK we have devolved government and Wales already has it, and England and Scotland will be bringing it in soon. The reason is because the number of donors was very low and even ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 5, 2018:

Thanks for the info. No, I don't think is a better system because it lends itself to criminal behavior.

GinaKay comments on Jul 4, 2018:

I'm not sure how I feel about this right now. I'll have to read more and think about it. It's basically an opt-out process rather than the current opt-in system, as is in the U.S. Basically presumed consent. But to clarify, this is not law yet. The Argentina senate has passed the bill and it has...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

Dear, the lower house voted it -unanimously- yesterday. So, it is law....Actually, the vote in both houses was unanimous; yes, is an opt-out process. BTW, before getting the info. from the Argentinean news I received a WUp message from a friend of mine...the daughter of one of the legislators.

WEDDING PROPOSAL.

Surfpirate comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Perhaps he wasn't confident of her answer being positive so he used social pressure to make sure she said yes instead of no. That's manipulative and dishonest and she would be wise to rethink her answer after having some time to mull his proposal over after the 'surprise'.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

My personal opinion about the guy (I know him since 2001) is that he is and arrogant pig.

WEDDING PROPOSAL.

DarrelScott comments on Jul 4, 2018:

I would never do that to embarrass a potential spouse. Ask in private, marry in public.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@DarrelScott See, a religious ceremony was not for me and it certainly was not for my late husband. Some friends found out we were married because the witnesses to the civil ceremony opened their mouths. One can be a private person...No? LOL

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@Louise1920, @DarrelScott That's the point. We didn't have family / friends at the civil ceremony...later, only diner with two couples.

Even the marriage should be private....

skeptic99 comments on Jul 2, 2018:

It would be more accurate to say we will be replaced by the people who come over our southern border.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@skeptic99 LOL...the Spaniards "conquistadores" knew way before the elites you mention now how docile the Latino workers were...this served them their purpose for centuries....but we are om the XXI century. Is not going to fly.

Que comico pero verdad [youtu.be]

DUCHESSA comments on Jun 30, 2018:

¿Por qué muchos Latinos no saben que hay Latinos/as blancos/as? Why many Latinos do not know that there are white Latinos/as?

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@gigihein Don't be embarrassed of what you are....and Cuban is not a race but a nationality. See, I am of French heritage (My parents /culturally), I don't know the origin of my granpas (I believe they were a mix of Scots and Welch and I am Argentinean by birth.

New state for the Union Guess which piece of land may become USA's state 51?

Davidthinks comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Is this just a matter of extending federal voting power to the population of PR? Don’t they already pay fed taxes? I can’t see that happening under the current D.C swamp because it is GOP run right now and that would add a potential extra 1mm votes to bring the DNC back in to take over the ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

See, the Puertorricans -all USA Citizens since 1916- living in PR can't vote in presidential elections; they must reside in the mainland to do so. I believe PR already pays state taxes.

Well at least the bible has some common sense.

webbew1 comments on Jul 4, 2018:

The Bible has a whole lot to say about how one is supposed to treat immigrants, refugees and travelers from foreign lands. None of which meshes with what is happening right now. Leviticus 19:33-34 Exodus 22:21 Exodus 23:9 Malachi 3:5 Deuteronomy 27:19 Matthew 25:35 Romans 13:1-7 Jeremiah ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@silverotter11 For the same reasons all the riches plastered on the Mexico City Cathedral's walls remain on said walls and not even one f...g ruby / chip of gold goes to the needy. I could say the same about the Vatican.

Why do men want younger women?

DUCHESSA comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Some think her youth will be passed to them by "osmosis"...eliminating the need for viagra.. :)

@azzow2 I am not talking about nationalities but about behavior -good and bad-, education. Many take for granted that all Latinos are uneducated, extremely religious, only good enough to clean floors....drug addicts and narcos.

DUCHESSA comments on Jul 3, 2018:

They are making a big fuss over the Guatemalan mother whom today was reunited with her kids, in NY, after 40 days. Some people paid her bail. Now...will she and her three kids be deported?

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 3, 2018:

@Trajan61 Well, I hope six months from today they don't say to me "This horrible refugees are all criminals." because i will answer them "F...k you, I told you so."

@azzow2 It may sound funny to you but the Resident Aliens and Naturalized USA Citizen are the ones who reject the illegals the most ....and this doesn't happen only among the Latinos; other cultures do the same.

Pretty accurate summary:

skeptic99 comments on Jul 2, 2018:

The problem is that children are brainwashed throughout their public education and on most of the stuff they see on TV growing up to accept the foundational ideas supporting liberalism. They don't begin to realize they have been lied to until they finally get out into the working world and confront...

You mean "asylum seekers". I am an immigrant (1980) and whatever I ACHIEVED WAS DO ONLY TO MY EFFORTS.

I didn't understand the whole "Make America great again" thing.

DUCHESSA comments on Jul 3, 2018:

Central America is inhabited by +/- 50,000.000 people. I hope you have room in your home to house all of them....including the gangs members and all kinds of criminals. If the innocent children were really incarcerated nobody would be saying they have been separated from their parents...who are ...

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 3, 2018:

@mcgeo52 They broke the lay by entering w/o permission. No difference with a person entering your house w/o your OK. Who are the criminals? Please, you don't have any idea if some of those seeking asylum committed a crime in their own land. Separating the children from the parents...as bad as it is / sounds...is the law. Trump doesn't induce any fear in me with his speeches...I am from South America...I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN LATIN AMERICA. The gangs in Central America are horrid...and is true many of the CA inhabitants are in danger....but is not USA the nation that must solve their problems. Their respective presidents should. BTW, there are many American Consulates . Embassies in the region.......and there is where they should apply for asylum...as the Cuban did in the Peruvian embassy in Habana last century. Remember the "Marielitos"?

SpikeTalon comments on Jul 2, 2018:

A scary and disturbing thought indeed.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 3, 2018:

According to last week info. the Trinitarios is a gang with about 1,000 members in NYS...the majority is Dominican.

Why are Men threatened by Intelligent hard working women?

Buckeyeproud comments on Jul 3, 2018:

I have no idea I assume they feel threatened and are afraid they might lose their job to a woman who may do it better. I personally support hard working and intelligent women.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 3, 2018:

@bigpawbullets No need to advise them....they always have run away from my brains and logic...The only one who didn't became husband...with whom I had the most wonderful 29 years of my life.

@Buckeyeproud When a man and his two brothers get divorced by their wives (two per man) is time for them to revise their mother induced narcissism. What am I attempting to say? That the way some men are educated could be the reason they treat women in such bad way.
