We are slowly appreciating over the last year that lying under oath was an Obama-administration ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 7, 2018:

Obamacare takeover of healthcare? Strange. I still pay zero dollars for my prescriptions. Obama era "scandals and lying" when Trump is in power and laden with this same thing. A millionaire and a billionaire ran for president and the billionaire won. Imagine that? The Kock brothers and friends care only about their agenda and nothing about others. http://www.justice.gov/file/20856/download

So my 16 year old, (who knows how to do everything,) used my iron to put a transfer on a hoodie.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 7, 2018:

You might try cleaning it with denatured alcohol. Keep away form fire and flame, and with the iron unplugged gently clean it's surface with denatured alcohol. IF that doesn't work look for resale shops in your area and go to all that you can find. You exact iron might be there for only a buck. I've shopped like this for as long as I can remember.

What's your favorite ridiculous Bible verse?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

I like the one that says "Jesus wept." It must be the shortest verse in the bible. There maybe is a cagillian sermons on just those 2 words. I've hear many of them. If there really was a Jesus and he saw the world today I can imagine that he would weep and make that verse a reality.

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Maybe so, but I've spent my life as an actor of sorts creating an image for others to see. We all do that to degrees. This is why our children have views of us that are not quite real. The image that you become depends on others that are around you. It is best to be yourself.

What is the main thing that attracts you to someone Physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

I like real people who are intelligent and honest, not just full of bullshit and trying to fake it through with you. In that sentence I've eliminated over 95 % of everyone I know. Well, let's try wit and humor. Actually it varies with everyone. Two of my wives were younger. Two were older. None of them were alike. One of them was black. I interacted with them openly as myself and I think they did the same with me. I'm not sure that I have a "type" unless it was someone from a movie. BTW, my ex from Kenya fits into that mold. She could have easily have been a model if not an actress. I get along in a "live and let live" mode. My plan is I will be me, and you can be you.

Could you stay isolated for five days in total isolation as an asocial experiment?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

Truly disgusted to see these Trump pardons.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

Trump is flexing muscle here trying to remind us that Mueller's investigation means nothing. By doing this he sends a message to his people that there is nothing to worry about. He will get them out of it by pardon. Ignore the 17 plus indictments Mueller already has and Trump supporters deny. Trump pardoned 2 from his Reality TV days recently and now tweets all over that he has power to even pardon himself. He may try it, but do not believe it. He's a cornered rat with a bad habit of picking idiot attorneys. ://www.justice.gov/file/20856/download

Anti-vaccine is a religion

DenoPenno comments on Jun 6, 2018:

It's almost idiotic and just more insanity. My take on vaccine is really pretty plain. As a child I knew people who had polio and I saw what it did to their arms and legs. I don't see polio any longer. I also do not see other major diseases that they vaccinate for around today. The reason I do not see these things is because vaccination works. I'm able to see these results because I just turned 72. I was a witness to what I write. There is no way in hell I would think that vaccination causes autism. Somebody is making money off these ideas and they do not care about you or your children.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Carlin was great. I laughed at everything he said about religion. Believers hated him for it and one once told me he was a "horrible man" who was "rotting in hell." Just last night I talked on the phone with a 79 year old relative who is a believer. It upset her when I said there is nobody in hell right now. It's empty. When I proved this by scripture it upset her a bit more. The reason is it messes with their "soul belief." Theists of the Evangelical type have to instantly be in heaven or hell if they are not alive here on earth. It's so damned funny. Carlin could have done a good job with it. BTW, thanks for the quote. I used to hear that on a morning show run by 2 DJ's in the Houston, Texas area years ago.

Does anyone use the Skywire device for television reception? What can you tell me about it?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Skywire is simply another TV antenna. It's similar to the Moleaf outdoor/indoor antennas and there are several outdoor OTA (over the air) antennas out now. All of these will work if you are close to the broadcast source. The difference between analog and digital is simply a broadcast format. All TV is digital now. It means that your antenna will recieve 1080 HD signals OTA if you have an antenna. There is no such thing as a "digital antenna." When it all went digital in 2009 I dropped Dish and started experimenting with antennas because I knew a digital picture is the best you can get. It's now years later and I have an antenna that I built on a tower 38 feet in the air. (30 feet is recommended.) I'm 65 miles from St. Louis and I get all 32 of their stations. My antenna is similar to the GE Outdoor Pro that you can buy at Walmart. (I beefed mine up more.) The antenna is as light as a loaf of bread and less than 3 feet long. Aiming it by compass degree can be learned on sites similar to TV Fool. If you live less than 65 miles to 70 miles from the area you want signals from and can mount an antenna in "line of sight" direction to your city you may have great luck with these antennas. A friend of mine 50 miles from St. Louis gets great TV with an antenna mounted a lot less than the height of mine. It's a great hobby for me and I can turn my antenna from the ground and get stations in Jefferson City or Columbia as well. Becoming a "TV King" might have even contributed to the end of my marriage. I was totally obsessed with doing all of this in the last 3 years of my marriage. :)

I thought I Would remind a few of us just how the 2016 election final outcome really ended.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 4, 2018:

The meme details our last election but fails to point out that something referred to as "cross check" was also used in the final analysis. Cross check is a flawed machine right out of Kock brothers Kansas that checks to see if Smith and Jones (you and me) might have voted in more than one location. The electoral college got this final vote later after cross check was applied to all Democratic votes. It was not applied to Republican votes at all. Clinton's upper hand and vote majority simply vanished. Do not be surprised if the bastards use cross check, or re-name it and use it again in any future elections. Nonsense like this should be eliminated immediately.

We appear headed in this direction.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2018:

Anarchy is here now. Powers that be want to protect this moron so much that they say he cannot appear before Mueller for fear that he will perjure himself. In other words, they know he cannot tell the truth. Now they want him to pardon himself and anybody that Mueller has indicted. Ask yourself if this is possible. If it was illegal in America before and it now becomes possible, ask yourself what it means. Dump Trump. Donnie has to go. Hell with the Kock brothers and friends. This is not government.

If you mess with me too much I will destroy your arguments quickly using the very book you believe from. This is easy coz the bible is a jumbled mess. Let's assume you are Muslim. How do you believe that the prophet flew to heaven on a "winged horse?" This is an impossible fairy tale. Anyone ever heard of a winged horse? All holy writings have their idiotic areas.

Spouse and religion

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2018:

My ex wife was African. Her grandfather was part of a group that founded Legio Maria. This is sort of a mix of African beliefs with Catholicism and Pentecostalism. (You would have to look this up.) We used to talk religion. Once I became atheist she would still talk religion with me and she would agree with me. She thinks my words make sense. Even so, her final words are always "everyone knows there is a god."

I'm way too picky for my own good...also it's damn hard to find single atheist women...just sayin

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2018:

I understand this but not the part about life being fab. Everyone has ups and downs and life is what you make it. Even so, I do not want to rescue anyone and I also do not want rescued. I'm my own person doing my own things and it works for me even if it bores you. Live and let live I always say. It doesn't matter much as my relationship experience seems to only go about 12 years. After that we are each going in different directions. I honestly feel that too many people remain together because they are faking their togetherness needs. Two people simply do not become one, but insecurity may cause many to want to be.

I'm an atheist Unitarian Universalist.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 3, 2018:

My grandfather was a Baptist who turned Jehovah Witness but he never went to meetings. One of his son's did, and he took his entire family to the JW Meeting Hall. Two of his boys turned out Pentecostal. My mother was always searching and when she married my Freewill Baptist step father they both became Pentecostal. By age 13 they are really getting me into this and I'm going to become a preacher. An atheist today, I feel like a latter day Marjoe Gortner. I was indoctrinated but without the water boarding.

Once on a shopping trip in another town I was approached on the sidewalk by a street preacher. He really had a lot of people going there and his spiel apparently was about living forever. He gave everyone a tract that they could redeem for eternal life if they just knew how. He handed me one but I refused it. He then asked if I wanted to live forever. My answer was "not really." At that point he avoided me. I had looked him straight in the eyes but was already atheist at the time. Perhaps he knew this by my answer. Certainly I would have disrupted his show.

Why doesn't god intervene when innocent children are being raped or starved?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 2, 2018:

The fact that god never does ANYTHING is the biggest evidence of the non-existence of any gods. People simply make it up. They have always made it up, but they lie so much that they tend to forget they are lying. I once attended a church where god needed a certain number of piano players. People even pretend that "god heals" when they are taking medicine or have surgery. Believing surgeons sometimes want to pray with you before the operation. WTF? Not me. Sorry, doc. YOU are not going to operate on me.

Has anyone here read One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 2, 2018:

I haven't read it but maybe I should. My take on religion in America is that believers have always wanted you to think we are "a Christian nation." This starts out with false claims of settlers coming here and why they did in the first place. (To worship god, of course.) At some point it might benefit corporate America to push these beliefs. One mindset is created to the point that today believers think that god and Jesus had something to do with our Constitution. How utterly bizarre this trash gets. This is the mindset of why Israel had to become a state when it did (it's in the Buybull) and what it all means to believing Americans. My step father always said that his big proof of the bible being true was that it predicted in the end that Jews would all come back to Israel and that was happening today. OK, I would predict that there are just as many Jews living elsewhere as there have ever been.

His life savings was likely to be over the limit that you could safely carry around with you. As such they will take the money coz "he might be a drug dealer."

Angry Young Preacher: The Bible Says Gay People Should Be Executed (Humanely) – Friendly Atheist

DenoPenno comments on May 31, 2018:

The angry young preacher needs to remember that he is reading out of 66 different books that all say different things and some are contradictory. He has been tricked into believing that all these books go together. Truth is they are just under one cover now. When you find trouble with the bible just remember where it came from and what form it had then compared as to its form now. The writings prove nothing except the fallibility of the book.

Just for grins, how many of us still have bibles laying around the residence?

DenoPenno comments on May 31, 2018:

I have several bibles and the study books and courses that go with them. If I got rid of them now it would be like I was all angry or something. I do have anger but not at these books. My anger is in being lied to and taken advantage of. What can I say? My parents didn't know either. They went with what was passed on to them.

Maybe the best we can hope for is to have a balance of power again. That would make a big difference. Keep in mind that between now and the mid terms Trump will campaign almost weekly in states that he has carried. He may lie a bit again as he wants to keep the GOP power that they have now.

Put us all together and "rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell" and you can see the fear, anger, unfamiliarity, and ignorance needed for this. Bible thumpers say "it's the end times." I say our lives have speeded up so much since 1950 that it is so hard to keep up with everything. This might explain why as we go forward it might look like we also go backward. We have too many gadgets and apps and fear and anger surround us as we don't know what the hell is going on.

Kinda out there, but that is Whoopi.

I love it. I've spent a big portion of my life haunted by the JFK murder. I swear, if I found out tomorrow that Trump had his brains blown out my remark to everyone talking about it would be "it couldn't have happened to a nicer man."

Roseanne brought this on herself. She can claim she is not racist all she wants, but her remark was directed at Valerie Jarrett who was an Obama advisor. Why now? Why words like "Muslim" and "ape?" It looks to me like Roseanne believes every word Trump ever said about Obama and wanted to stir things up. The problem is simple really. The GOP and powers around them overlook Trump on issues of this sort when he should be taken to task for it and called on the carpet. It won't work that way with Roseanne as she never figured on a brave black ABC President, Ms. Dungey, to take action here that nobody else in the world is doing. The ABC President is showing that we simply will not stand for this. Meanwhile all of Roseanne's old shows are being pulled from syndication, and everyone is treating her as if she was contagious. Both Roseanne and ABC might lose millions but the world (and Trump) is being shown that we cannot allow things like this to become contagious. White supremacy is just another dumb and bad idea. It's not a joking matter.

He can go behind the bushes.

DenoPenno comments on May 30, 2018:

I don't think I could ever like Kim just because of her TV show and stuff but she is a real life activist.

Do you support Trump?

DenoPenno comments on May 30, 2018:

You think Trump deserves the respect that his position affords him? He's a liar and a conman. Please explain to me what "respect" you are talking about.

Roseanne brought this on herself and I don't think Trump can help her. Now she blames ambien for her outburst. Great! If they take that seriously it enforces the war on opioids. Soon nobody will have sleep and pain pill meds and that includes Roseanne. Great job, great role model. Meanwhile in Missouri, everyone thought that Trump would come to the defense of Greitens but that could never happen. Since Greitens delimma is a sexual scandal the entire thing would draw too much attention to Trump. Powers that be want our attention drawn away from Donnie being charged with the same things. It's time everyone understood that sexual and racist remarks and actions have zero tolerance in America. Monkey and Muslim remarks do not go together. Some do not even see that the Roseanne remark is yet another stab at nastiness during 8 years of American history. Enough is enough. Trump is next.

Congratulations, tot. Along with those good meals eat some pears. :) You can do this!

Republican? Democrat? Libertarian? :)

DenoPenno comments on May 29, 2018:

I'm a card carrying Libertarian today but I never vote for them. In my lifetime I have carried the cards of the other 2 parties as well. How I vote depends on the issues but I will not likely ever be a card carrying Republican again.

DenoPenno comments on May 29, 2018:

I heard that on 5 PM News today. As a Missouri resident I was so happy to hear that Greitens "Christian family values" had finally done him in. People pointed out others that had affairs but they missed the whole point. This man ran fro governor using the GOP family values position and the scandal he was fighting proved plainly that he lied to the voters. That did him in. GOP supporters wanted to say it was all OK, and between him and his wife, and that she had forgiven him. I'm sure the voters thought differently. The official resignation is Friday, June 1st. As for him and his dark money that I'm sure he doesn't want to reveal fully, let this be a lesson to the Kock brothers and friends. We do not need bought and paid for politics in any state and we also do not need it in our POTUS.

That's wh.y I'm here. :D

DenoPenno comments on May 29, 2018:

Yes, and they openly said they would not work with Obama. Now they cry coz we don't like Trump. This is classic hypocritical racism.

Jesus loves you? What does it mean to you?

DenoPenno comments on May 28, 2018:

Equally pointless to me also. How does Jesus love you except for the bible telling you so, just like in the old song. Other passages in that same book talk of a Jesus with a different opinion also. Yes, Jesus. The warrior King who was killed as a threat to Rome. Someday he will return riding a white horse up in the sky, and he has tattoos on his thighs. He was also resurrected with a perfect body but he kept his injuries and his hands will never heal. Everything is fuct up.

DenoPenno comments on May 28, 2018:

I saw a video once where a white female pastor claimed that god never intended for the races to be together. She said this with a straight face too. My immediate mind reaction is that her god is** so stupid** he never suspected that mankind would make big ocean ships and later the airplane. It's idiot nonsense like this (backed up by the Buybull) that helped me decide to ditch religion. People try to scare me from time to time asking what I would do if it turns out there really is a god. If there is such a being he would have nothing to do with any of the claimed scriptural writings. Bible study alone can get you to this point.

DenoPenno comments on May 28, 2018:

Abrahamic religions are idiotic. All this crap over a rule that god could have changed himself. He hated that he mad man and then drowned everybody except 8 people. He could have just made new people. Later he gets a young girl pregnant so he can come to earth as his son, then he arranged for the kid to be killed so that if you believe in him you can live forever and kiss his royal ass for eternity. No thanks. Not interested. I'll just keep things the way they are. Forever worshiping something is just too frigging long.

Gentlemen, could you please give me some insight concerning unsolicited pictures of male genitalia?
