@Petter I was told to avoid local water and drink bottled water because of the zygot that mosquitoes carry. I boiled water to kill that and other germs. If I avoided both malaria and cholera that is fine but the locals are more affected by malaria. My ex still had a came over to America on the plane. A woman I know had a fit that they let here travel and I told her that malaria is not contagious.

What if the problem of poverty is that it’s profitable to other people? | Books | The Guardian

DenoPenno comments on Feb 27, 2019:

Poverty is profitable. Poverty for the masses is how the wealthy stay rich.

@Bobby9 In no way did I say or imply that wealth is always stolen. You forgot my "IF" word in my posting. What is the point? OK, we said it so why are we whipping a dead horse?

@Bobby9 I'll try facts if you remove your head from Donald's ass. Notice that you are so ready to come down hard on me and my words involve another word which is "IF." I find that IF is a big word for supposed situations.

@Bobby9 Then try this one. If the masses have poverty it must be that the rich have some of their money. If the masses all live in poverty how would it be that a top percentage had wealth in the first place? The poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

DenoPenno replies on Feb 20, 2020:

When the right spouts "freedom of religion and not freedom from religion" it shows that they still want to believe that America was founded on principals of religious freedom. This has to be coz they want a "Christian Nation." It's all lies. If any religious group was not wanted in Europe back then it certainly had nothing to do with American Evangelicals today.

I told my religious friend about my post on Noah's Ark.

twill comments on Feb 19, 2020:

They were told to?

DenoPenno replies on Feb 20, 2020:

Yes, we were all told to believe it but nobody questioned it. Only today do I look at this and see it is total nonsense straight out of 3000 years ago from nomadic shepherds. Take away the indoctrination behind the story and anyone can instantly see through it. With that said, some of the "wiser" Evangelicals still claim that sexual sin is behind the fall of man and even enters into play in the Garden of Eden. They seem to be forgetting that incest is a sexual sin and god used it to populate the earth not once, but twice. How dumb can you get?

The only subject I am agnostic about is ETs. I'm pretty sure they exist but not quite convinced. God, on the other hand, is a hard "no".

DenoPenno replies on Feb 18, 2020:

I believe that ET's would have to exist somewhere. It's just that I do not feel we have sufficient evidence. Many try to delude and swindle in order to get you to believe. Hey, that sounds almost like religion.

That show is just a joke in general. They show interesting stuff and then start to explain it... "Did aliens make this? Did an ancient civilization make this? No, it was an old housing development from the 50s that was half engulfed by a volcano." The show is just a POS for gullible people.

Unfortunately, Rick, you are exactly correct. Our Reality TV world says that if you want to create controversy claim aliens did it. The reason is that it sells.

School Board Jesus Prayer

Sofabeast comments on Jun 18, 2019:

Should the $ have 'In Gold We Trust' instead of God. After all, with a promise of religious freedom in the USA, then the inclusion of multiple Gods and none at all should be included. So, if schools take prayer, then they must allow for all belief systems.

"In God We Trust" is a true motto for our money. The money is the god we are trusting in.

Someone converts to a religion in order to continue a relationship with a person. Sex overcame religion by becoming a member of religion and the people involved are not honest with themselves.
