How to Respond When Someone Says “All Lives Matter”

The really unsafe part is to let anyone photograph your ID. Before long they are you and have what you have.

I'm in mid Missouri in a community of about 1200 people. No visible homeless people here, nor are they to be found in towns close by. Did someone kill them off or did the dope play out? One thing that got rid of the homeless is people burning their abandoned properties for the insurance money and claim the homeless did it making meth. Along this same route is to evict the homeless from cheap historical hotels and do a complete makeover of that historical building. Now it is no longer historical and those near homeless cannot afford it. Where did they go?

We will all be better off when Trump is 6 feet under and for "who is at fault" it depends heavily on the situation. Trump has no "pure logic" and is a grifter and a conman. If the Pentagon controls everything keep in mind that my view of a Patriot is someone who has served in our military, not a narcissist on a clown car with his friends.

When people impersonate you in any way 2 things happen. 1. When they pretend to be you they can get away with saying many different things. 2. When they pretend to be you they are very close to assuming your actual identity. If any of this goes unchecked for a period of time you may find yourself owing money in other states and the one getting away with this is paying nothing because they say you are the real scammer. They then have the house and car that you are made to pay for.

@Lorajay Many strange rumors going on right now about this including one from Elon Musk. He took down his post, then put it back up again. Most say the entire story was misleading and they make up bullshit about it like Musk did. Fox simply claimed they had no motive for any of this. If you present the motive it does not look good for the GOP. Now the attacker confesses the whole thing and tells what he was going to do and what he came there for. Charges against him could hold up to 40 years plus in jail time if convicted. Yes, he says, he was looking for Nancy.

Now let's look at the suspicious set up where Nancy tells her husband that he can take these hammer blows for political reasons. He won't be killed or anything but he will go to the hospital. Are we thinking that something like this went on here? Nancy can own the GOP close to election time and get sympathy for her DUI hubby. Is this something like we are thinking might have happened?

Yes, I live in Missouri and have witnessed my share of meth and pill popping rashes, etc. I've seen this in my own family and I know all of the lies. These people will do anything for dope and when they cut off the catalytic converter on their cars claiming they had to have money for food, that food is the dope that they take. The woman that I met had allowed this to ruin her life.

It could just be an incentive to stay with Aetna. There's a lot of competition out there. However, be very careful and read all the fine print.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 20, 2022:

I'm sure it's an incentive. No question. But suspicious? No way. This is a card like going to Walmart and buying a gift card and load it with $300. At $1,200 a year extra I still would not owe any money and I pay no end of year taxes. What I have paid during the year comes back to me. Since i am still working I also keep my 2 main credit cards active just enough to maintain a very high score.

QuidamOutrepont comments on Oct 7, 2022:

It seems likely to me that Jesus Christ and Christianity was made up by the Roman Empire. So it makes me wonder why would the Romans do that? Why would they give up their polytheism, Jupiter and his bunch of gods and switch to monotheism?

DenoPenno replies on Oct 11, 2022:

Perhaps the Romans were trying to confuse and control the Jews by taunting them for killing their own Messiah. Keep in mind that the original plan called for a supreme Jewish ruler and not a dead 3 days, risen, and now residing in the sky type person. This last idea is how people of today explain the death of Jesus and it started some 300 plus years after his supposed time of living.
