GOP woman on Kavanaugh allegations: 'What boy hasn’t done this in high school?' | TheHill

DenoPenno comments on Sep 23, 2018:

I never heard of rape in my high school. A lot of us boys did dream about sex though, and we shared to names of those we wanted to have it with.

What about the woman's past? what about the woman's future? g

DenoPenno comments on Sep 23, 2018:

This is exactly how it is too.

Bad logic about christianity and shootings, cause and effect. g

DenoPenno comments on Sep 23, 2018:

JRehling telling it like it is. My kids want to claim it is because we "removed god from the classroom." I'm the first one to point out that god was never in our classrooms. I believe that we have more shootings today because we can no longer whip Johnny's ass. Parents are not in control any longer, Johnny is.

Where do you stand (so to speak)?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

The anthem and the knee thing is all Trumpthink and he was not even in the military. Playing of the anthem at games was a request of our government to keep young men interested in joining the Armed Forces. I'm ex military and not opposed to taking a knee. **What is missing here** is why they take a knee. Hardly ever do we get reminded of this being because racist police officer actions have caused death among blacks and further promoted un-equality in our nation. Now I'm waiting for all the white supremacist remarks like "Duh, well they kill each other don't they?" There is always a genius in every room. Failure to see what is really behind this makes you someone I do not want to be around or associate with.

Naughty Jesus

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

Yes, Jesus wants to enter your heart and this can be done without surgery. All you have to do is shut your eyes and bow your head. Hey, wait! All my heart does is pump blood and you are trying to provide me with a reason that Jesus died. Is this witchcraft?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

Genessa has it right. There are 2 issues. At my age today and in my situation, I struggle with living in society while not actually being a part of that society. We have to find out what works for us and know the truth as much as possible.

A Tale of Gender Bashing and a Double Standard.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

It saddens me that there is such a double standard between the genders, the group think, and the enabling behavior. IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY Well posted, linxminx, but this just might be all about **people control** instead of genders and enabling. As such it has everything to do with group think. Anyone remember the Facebook meme with Jesus and the Devil arm wrestling? Later there was one with Hillary and Donald arm wrestling and Hillary had taken the place of the Devil. These were out prior to the last election and similar things led to cries of Russian meddling. Facebook has been to Congress and since then has made some changes, but I have less functionality in Facebook now. What I do notice is that political subjects are bombarded by troll comments that come from sources not so easily nailed down. This goes beyond the "cutesy" level that so many of us would use anyway. Many of the comments are false and not backed by evidence. The person posting cannot be traced, or if you do trace them they are vaguely listed and they become invisible days later. This is like a series of "missed calls" on your phone that suddenly are not working numbers only minutes later. What's going on with the phones is somebody wanting your information. What goes on in Facebook and You Tube is that someone wants your money and your vote. **Yes, they will even lie to get it.** Tactics of "Russian meddling" were in place before the election and so much more so even now. Imagine someone spending millions to get your dollar and tell you how to vote. Imagine billionaire business interests running agencies to do this and you see behind the false information. Advertising has always been about people control but today we have stepped into 1984. The difference is that it came a bit late.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

Now I am an activist in my own right and I do not pray or have time to reflect on invisible imaginary beings. You cover a lot of things in a good way in your checklist. I admire your quick work on morality being man-made. In America they still debate that for hours to a point of being ridiculous.

Which are you more concerned about in a relationship: being smothered or being abandoned?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

In one sense I feel abandoned now but I have to look at it in reverse also. Maybe our divorce was abandonment. On the other hand, I have always been afraid of being smothered. Being smothered by another human being is the worst.

Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong - The Huffington Post

DenoPenno comments on Sep 22, 2018:

You have to have a diet and exercise combo and eat 4 to 5 small meals a day to speed up metabolism. Too bad I don't do that any longer. It kept the body furnace burning. Today I workout less and still eat the same or more. You must eat less as you get older. I think I just hit 260 so eating the same doesn't work. I was best around 200 lbs. The foods you eat are important in this, but I know fat people who eat barely enough to keep a bird alive and they are still fat people.

If you were ever religious, do you ever recall making sacrifices for god to prove your love to him?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 21, 2018:

Of course. This is the religious way. It is the Pentecostal way. "Faith enough" might explain it all but there is not a defined meaning for "faith." It's a matter of whether you meld into the belief system or not. I studied too much and melded out.

While attacking fake nonsense? Explain. I always attack fake nonsense.

I know the subject of age difference has come up a few times here.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 21, 2018:

In my experience all my friends were married so it might have made me hurry to marry at 21 and the woman was 34 and had 4 kids. It worked for a couple of years. In the end we remained friends over the years. She's dead now and so are 2 of the kids. Next I'm 24 and ran off with a 16 year old. Still in the same family as the first one here, but this time around I end up with 2 daughters even though the relationship is not good. In 1974 I ran off with a woman who had 8 kids and ended up helping raise half of them. She was 18 years older than me and we got along fine. She died of a heart attack in 1984 but my 2 daughters from the earlier marriage had come to live with us. The youngest after I found myself alone again. In 2004 I went to Kenya at 58 to meet my future wife of the Luo tribe. She was 28 at the time and we were married 12 years. We spent over 10 years of this together. We remain friends today and we had no children together. I haven't seen her in 2 years but we both still live alone. Throw misguided religion in between all this and there are my loves and relationships. Young or older didn't matter to me. Three white women and one black. No big deal.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 21, 2018:

I agree. Trumpsters think it strange that women come out of the woodwork many years later. Is it strange also that all the choir boys and alter boys are now coming out? Did those boys "spread their legs" in high school or wear clothes that made them appear as "asking for it?" Any self respecting woman that supports Trump, his clan, or his nominees needs to do a second think. This is the dignity and respect that you get from Trump's GOP.

This sounds hopeful.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 21, 2018:

It would be nice if it concludes after mid terms and the Dems have more power or a true balance of power. Also be aware that Trump is once again saying he will fire Mueller and they say he will do that right after the mid terms. Trumpty has to see what kinda clout the Dems have, and if they have none then "goodbye, Mueller." It doesn't matter that Mueller is a Republican. Trumpty Dumpty and his closest supporters would like this. It's all another mistake by someone without enough intelligence to govern.

She has good reason to be wary of testifying to them.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 21, 2018:

No, it isn't any wonder at all. Adding to the strangeness I found on conservative talk radio today that one call in person wants to have Ms. Ford investigated to see if she has any George Soros money. Another caller said she was popular in high school and we all know that girls get popular by spreading their legs, so this should be investigated too. Poor GOP bastards haven't got a clue do they.

Racism is wrong in any respect. Arguments for it make no sense at all. As a white man I know a lot of racists and "racist unaware" types. I hang out with none of them and was last married for 12 years to a black woman. My 2 daughters however have a white mother.

Some Brief Thoughts on Time.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 20, 2018:

Well said but I have to disagree with you about deep sleep. It is during this time that your brain mulls over the experiences of "now" from that moment and before and puts it together sometimes in a hard to understand segment that we call dreams. The irony of "time" is that theists think there was no such thing until god created it. It is also most likely that some have come up with an idea of traveling backwards in time because of the sleep mode of our brain.

DenoPenno comments on Sep 20, 2018:

I agree with a few things you have listed here. Not sure I want an LTR and I certainly do not want a smoker. Can't stand a conservative because they believe all the Trump nonsense and didn't even think that way until Trump actually came along. Must be Trumpzombies? I might weigh 250 but I don't want you to. If you call yourself atheist but you are still "spiritual" you are not for me. Spiritual can be anything you want it to be. If you flip flop on atheism you are not for me. I'm not wanting a situation where we get along perfect and then you "find god again" and some guy who says he is a minister declares we are "not equally yoked" and you justify breaking up because of that. I been around a while and I've seen a lot of things.

Has anyone else had a religious friend ask where your sense of morality comes from?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 20, 2018:

It does not take a god to make people realize that others do not like being poked in the eye with a stick the same way you do not like being poked in the eye with a stick. Morality comes from the societal system that you live in. This is why morality is slightly different in different parts of the world. Otherwise you might have your god changing it slightly because of copyright laws.

Have you ever been in a relationship where the other person did not know the cultural "givens" ?

DenoPenno comments on Sep 19, 2018:

My ex wife and her tribe were not aware of Elvis Presley. The best reason I could think of is that Presley never did an African tour. On the other hand, the late singer Don Williams went on safari in Kenya and also did a tour while he was there. Everyone had his music. Riding in the matatu they would play his music and say "he is called Don Williams." Just a note on Kenyan parlay here. They always say "he is called" where in America we say "his name is."

DenoPenno comments on Sep 19, 2018:

Yes, I am numb emotionally right now. I am shattered! It started when my wife left, then I realized my life was not what I thought it was. I am not who I thought I was, and it all goes backwards to where I see almost everything. I'm able to see why I do what I do and why others do also. Your entire life serves to set you up for who you are right now. You go from the hero of the movie into the limited bit player that you really are. You want to recover from this and go forward normally, but inside you realize that most likely you never will.

For believers, fear of atheists is fueled by fear of death

DenoPenno comments on Sep 19, 2018:

There was a case where the believer ended up killing his atheist friend after an argument over the existence of god. I suppose the believer just could not take the reality. Something about it sparked his anger. I've heard people say to me "wouldn't it be so nice if there really was a god?" Why would it be "nice?" Do you need that much supervision? You are comforted that there really is an invisible man in the sky. He guides you and is going to send you somewhere. He watches you take a crap or have sex. You make up stories about things he gave you. Hey, you need to outgrow this.

I think so. I enlisted in the US Army at age 18 and have spent time in other countries overseas. I learned a lot of things. I was a conservative Missouri redneck with connections that I will not list. At the time I would haver been a Trump supporter if he was around. In 1980 I was a card carrying RNC supporter but I was watching and listening. My travels and people I met was sinking in. Today I am aware that the party of Eisenhower is no more. Trump is a conman and not for the people. He lies more than anyone and I will never go back to the GOP again.If this makes me a "liberal" none of it would have happened without traveling overseas.

Muslims state these days that "black holes are the vacuum cleaners of the universe." The strange thing is that nobody thought of this before vacuum cleaners were invented. This is similar to some Christians telling us which part of the sky heaven is located in. Direction as we know it is related to our earth. I don't think anyone gets it.

It is worse than arrogant but no more so than what the others in the religious world say. This is why I have no sympathy for those who have left the false religion but are still searching frantically for the one true religion.

Feeling a bit bummed.

I have an ex mother in law who tells everybody that computers are responsible for the breakup of many marriages. I think she misplaced responsibility here. Nothing guarantees that you and this man would be a match really even if you seem to be so much in agreement. Words on paper or a screen mean little when you have not even met. Here's my similar story. I have a Facebook friend on the east coast whom I have talked to up to 4 hours at a time on the phone. We have been friends over a year and have never met. She is like a princess and would really like to be one. We think alike in many ways and are in agreement and supportive. I tell her that if I win the lottery I will marry her. I think she would do this even if I am 72. Where would it be in 10 years? I respect her and value her opinion but the more I look at this I see exactly what happened between myself and my ex. I am attracted to younger women and often there is a great age difference. I am willing to take a chance on this situation and I see no other families or marriages that I would break up in doing so. The destroyed lives are what you have to deal with here, so maybe you really are spared some grief in your case. In my situation I see a pattern that continually wants to repeat itself and my relationships last about 12 years and then go all to hell. Look at yours carefully. Ask yourself if it would have really of been worth it. Ask yourself how children and others would deal with it and how long you think the utopia would go on. Been there, done that. What I left out of my story is the time that I gave in to a situation similar to yours. What I offered you is a bit of what I have learned from it.

Tryna decide which would save my soul lol!

I always have those people who tell me to be fair I have to "try" all religions. Why do I have to try anything if you can prove that the writings are bullshit? Other defenders of the faith say "god doesn't send you to hell, you send yourself there." If you are so frantically searching I can agree you send yourself there. Gods are imaginary. There are no instruction books, rules, or punishments. No proof of an afterlife so do the best you can in this life.

I took the test once and it said I am ESTJ-T. Am I really a Sentinel and my role is social engagement? Maybe. I know that I am a voice of activism in a world that seems to be unraveling for many of us who live within it. Fairness does not exist but we have to approach everything with logic and use evidence and facts. Trump and many others want to use their own facts and this alone is worse than religious indoctrination. It doubles up on those who want Democracy when the GOP marries into the religious right. Be diligent and be on guard.

Ready and willing all the way the slaughterhouse.

Yes, it is a Trump rally but remember that he only has them in certain states. Any time he gets worried he seems to have one. People can't seem to figure this out.

Yes, please
