DenoPenno replies on Oct 10, 2021:

@skado I operate on the belief that almost all of us had a religious background at one time. This would hold true unless your family was atheist. Most were not, and even if you did not believe in or follow your religious background you were exposed to it. This is the fact of the only study I have done on the subject. Religion is sick and asks you to believe sick things. Sometimes people go off the deep end and use that religious crutch. It can happen to the very devout as well as the Baptists who never went to church.

Let's include polio. How about doodlidoo? What are the high risk areas where the vaccine is not reliable enough and what alternative do we have? You sound like my boss who argues that if somebody survived Covid then no vaccines are needed to start with. Maybe in some situations I could do something to avoid blood poisoning, for example, but if I do not and survive then no action was needed in the first place.

I don't know Jennings from Adam but here is my take on all this. If people argue and bring up crap from 6 months or a year ago, for example, we all know this is not what the argument is really about. It's time to stop being eternally offended.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 27, 2021:

@Gwendolyn2018 I agree with you but my meaning was actually about people claiming to be forever offended by things that we all grow out of in time. As for Trump. sexism, racism, etc. these should never be normalized in any way.

Good grief! Did she ask you to buy the bread for her or be her partner? This shows you a lot about me and why I remain single because so many men think you want them or want their money when you are just making innocent conversation with a fellow human not flirting or whoring for food.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 27, 2021:

@Killtheskyfairy Most likely she was just making conversation. My point entirely was all about the money.

I'm not that big of a catch. Where did this come from and why did you think anyone was whoring for food? Why are people desperate? Most likely she was just making conversation. My take of the incident is that I know how to save money. She does not.

I had the great good fortune to come across this lecture by Lawrence Krauss.

inigomontoya comments on Aug 27, 2021:

Awesome! I love Dawkins too! This lecture starts off with a point about how Darwin was disputed by a couple leading Physicists of that day. One of those physicists is also known for dismissing the future potential of radio, x-rays and airplanes. Great story!! hahaha

DenoPenno replies on Aug 27, 2021:

Good lecture. This is off topic but god really did want the races to remain separate. He was so stupid he did not know mankind would invent airplanes. I'm serious. Some preachers still preach this but not with my punch line.

Today I was parked behind my insurance lady's car when a woman in a brand new truck backed into me.

The outcome should be that I receive money. Her insurance should also fix her new truck. There is no way that I am responsible in any way for parking in a wrong place. What wrong place?

I certainly agree with you and I do not wear my ask at all times. Usually it is around my neck so I can pull it up if told to do so. I tell people who do wear a mask to never let others put you down or argue with you for wearing it.

@misstuffy I know because vaccinated does not mean immune. Evangelicals should also know that wearing a face covering does not mean you are Muslim.

Last winter it was so cold in my area that my porch rose up and I could not open my front door.

NoMagicCookie comments on Aug 21, 2021:

This is the result of the foundation for the porch's supports not being deep enough to be below the frost line. Where I live, foundations must be 54" deep.

DenoPenno replies on Aug 21, 2021:

Here is how it goes everybody. My wooden porch is large and built way too close to my front door. It is also built on a concrete slab that was not properly put into the ground. In the winter, water gets under that concrete slab and freezes, pushing the slab upwards out of the ground. This was why the door had problems. It hung on the porch deck and would not open. The problem is in the concrete and the way it is put in the ground. The porch itself was not shrinking or swelling.

We all start out as one thing and then end up as another. This goes beyond the physical and gets into our mindset of belief. Look closely at what you believe today and I'm sure you can see a time when your belief was all different. We progress. We evolve. At least we should be doing so.

They look similar to those you might have found in a cupboard somewhere because your grandfather could not wear them. Food does not get under my dental plates and I love my "super teeth."

If you do not want the jab then do not get it. Some restrictions will be placed on eating establishments and travel. Maybe more. No vax no fly. No vax no enter, etc. Live with that.
