Don't stop with him.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 17, 2018:

I do agree fully but I heard a long and drawn out bunch of nonsense today on talk radio about how Hillary and the GOP was out to get Trump from the very beginning. It's almost laughable. Supposedly Trump knows about it now and that's why his revoking the security clearances. Poor Trumpy. Everyone is out to get him even in Europe.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 16, 2018:

Sometimes it seems as if the media that you do get back and forth is only something to catch your eyes and sell newspapers or make you read the stuff regardless of format. Reporting has turned into the selling of stories. One old saying is yet true. If you wanna know what is going on just follow the money.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 16, 2018:

OK, the idiots allow teachers to be armed and a school shooting like the last one in Florida where 17 students were killed goes down. What do the cops know when they invade the scene? I'm sure they will immediately recognize the black man with a gun as a teacher. Of course they will. Their extensive training gives them ESP. There is nothing to fear here, folks. Let's go ahead and arm the teachers. The above is just one senario. There are more.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 15, 2018:

I've been "downsized" most of my life. I live in a nice mobile home, but I once had a doublewide one in Texas. The cost of housing is so outrageous. I've only gotten ahead in life because of my low overhead to start with. I think I piss people off. They all want nice big homes but nobody can afford them. I have some that know me nagging at me to get a new car. I'd rather have the money and just keep driving my 2005 Monte Carlo. I can just pay cash for the car but the smart way today is to lease it. I don't want to do that either. Let me try to make my point here. I saw a movie where 2 cops needed $20,000 for a business venture and between them they could not come up with the money. They had to take out a loan. These are the guys with the nice house, nice cars, maxed to the hilt on everything and if I had to live like that I would blow my brains out. We live in a really fucked up fake world.

WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL?

DenoPenno comments on Aug 15, 2018:

Thank you so much for posting. In my studies gods were supernatural. When I was a believer my mind speculated on all of it, and I also believed many supernatural things. Not today. No ghosts or any other nonsense. No demons, no devils, etc. I can't even enjoy a good horror film these days. I laugh myself silly with most of them and just give up. A proper approach to god belief shows there is no evidence for any of it. I have no room today for gods or superstition.

At my work or almost anyplace these days NOBODY can do what they tell you they are going to do. People all says words but the words do not mean anything.

Knew that people in China and other places were wearing them, etc. and thought it was a good idea. If the Kock brothers continue to do phony investigations and keep up their current business practices in America you might see a great many more of us wearing them here.

Dealing with the religious.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 13, 2018:

It is very difficult. My longtime religious friend always tries to carefully bring his god into the subject. Maybe it is his way of preaching to me. He brings current world events into a picture he gets out of the book of Revelation, then he always wants to put them both together. To me it's sort of like talking about Trump and then you want to bring in Elmer Fudd or Bugs Bunny. That might work! Maybe I will try it.

My passport is currently expired. Even so, it is the most accurate form of ID in the USA. I once used it to cash a check in a local store and what I am writing you now is what the clerk told me. I suspect that your tellers are very naive and could be easily fooled. They either never plan on leaving Wisconsin for another country or they do not watch TV. I hope the branch manager cashed your check for you. The new passports will be different and even have a chip inside them. When you renew the old one it will be a lot like $100 bills with a strip and a chip. I was told it will be "totally new" but I doubt that. To have a complete record they will simply add pages to go along with the old.

Just gotta ask this.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 13, 2018:

I think you are correct and many would like to get this system to a point where nobody votes and then there would be no reason for elections. The least they are hoping for now is to get us into sham elections, then take it all away later. What's with Trump haters? He brings out the best of white supremacy in any of us. His Fascism doesn't even want to acknowledge a bit of brown. He's an asshole that is dividing the country and causing bloodshed in doing so. Follow his tweets and you see his many lies almost daily. He claims the US steel industry is going to open 6 new plants soon. The steel industry says it will never happen regardless of what Trump says. Trump supporters believe it and just move on to something else. If you follow the tweets he is a low life son of a bitch. His supporters think I am not being fair, but the ones I know still cannot explain to me what Helsinki was all about. A secret meeting with Russia? Oh, come on. Then you claim you would believe Vlad over your own Intelligence agency. OK. Let's give that job to Russia then. He's a failed businessman and a traitor. I could go on and on with this and point out that nobody before him ever did any of it this way. They would have been rode out of office super quickly if they did. Agolf Twitler and his bunch have power and they would rather be Russian that be a Democrat. As for me, I would rather have sanity in America again.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 13, 2018:

Do what makes you happy, but my argument is in the words "the body my soul was given." I have zero belief in humans being "given" a soul and that soul being the real you. I argue instead that you are the soul. You became a living soul.

Well first of all I'm sorry but I'm not too educated.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 13, 2018:

Mostly this is because of a burden of proof. Since there is zero proof either way I can shift the burden of proof upon myself if I tell you absolutely that there are no gods. I am an atheist, yes, but I am an agnostic atheist. Both terms are one and the same unless you get technical and shift a burden of proof onto yourself. Only a fool would claim without doubt that no gods exist. Do I believe that gods exist? NO.

How do you deal with family members trying to save your damned soul? Avoid them. It's the only way. Now imagine your family being taught that this life means nothing and it is only a training ground for the life you will have after you are dead. Yes, after you are dead is when you really start living. In order for this to happen you must let dead Jesus into your heart so he can save an invisible part of you (your soul) and keep it from going to an imaginary place of bad things. You want this invisible soul to go to imaginary heaven so it can live forever with Jesus and the imaginary god. This is so real to me that I can almost taste it and start speaking in tongues right now. Avoid them and just live your life. This is probably the only life you will get.

DenoPenno comments on Aug 10, 2018:

It is how you as an individual deals with the intelligence from the amount of knowledge you have acquired towards humanity that allows you to separate yourself from the injustices of racist hate. Those are your own words pasted to my reply and I agree with them. In my late teens and early 20's I was as racist as anyone. N words and off color jokes were the norm. Slavery jokes were normal and we wanted to own some slaves. Many of us could not wait for the "South to rise again." We had no clue what we were really talking about. It was just what the white majority did and how they thought. Many are thinking that way again and I don't like it. I grew up and in the years that followed my last marriage was to a woman of color. The marriage lasted 12 years. I have come to see the world as a giant box of crayons and people are the colors inside that box. Nothing more and nothing less.

I still find it amazing that people of his time were concerned with turning water into wine or walking on water. Calming of storms and casting out demons. Healing the sick and raising the dead. If you read that right it is so obviously concerns of an ancient people. Apparently god had the same concerns that they did.

Some good ideas there. I'm type 2 diabetic and I think this happened because the doctors finally put a name on it for me. I eat and drink what I want but I do take their medicine. Metformin so far. No insulin and I don't measure anything. Pre-diabetic is like "pre-thunder storm" or maybe "pre- house fire." Let's try "pre-heart attack." I'm a creature of habit who has had this condition for over 5 years. Medicine is making great strides in many directions but I'm hard to convince for just as many reasons. I didn't go to my doctor with a complaint that led to this. Blood work eventually led to this. I'm a man who just doesn't believe that doctor's can see you for 15 minutes once every 6 months and know what ailes you. That means my doctor sees me a half hour every year and maybe 4 or more people are involved in my blood work. BTW, I'm like a 250 lb. gorilla and used to work out with weights all the time. I admit my diet has never been adjusted to compensate for working out less today, and that I do have a big waist. I wear 44 inch pants. My waist needs to be 10 inches smaller.
