People are talking about reverse racism. I keep wondering if that is part of the "Me Too" movement.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@ProudMerrie The Me Too movement is legitimate but has become distorted because of ridiculous nonsense from others that do not understand. Reverse racism is something that white supremacists claim. Is it real and is it possible? Only to a racist.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 8, 2019:

@Beowulfsfriend The strange thing is that he bought it all. He drank the koolaide. Nobody is saying no cows and no airplanes. The thing here in Trumpthink is that Democratic Socialism is considered as next to Communism. They need to ask if the Communists lived without cows or airplanes. People are so damned stupid!

@Amisja I have a neighbor who lives in the apartment complex next door. I no longer talk to him much and the reason is that once he told me all about blacks. He has no idea that my ex was black but he says "look at all the money we have spent to educate them." People like this are too frigging stupid to even know they are racist and they are a waste of my time. They are a disgrace!

Situations like this happens more than you think and it can escalate with deadly consequences.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 8, 2019:

This is so true today. Trumpworld and the Koch brothers are bringing this on like crazy. It's shameful and sad. How about the case in Texas where a female cop shot a man for being in her apartment and she was not even on her floor. Her weak defense was that she was "giving him commands" and he was not responding to them. That case is totally insane!

I got into a fb discussion with someone and this is his argument.

Yes, the passion of debate can certainly bring out anger in people. My pet peeve is when people get into petty name calling (the most recent was when someone called someone a "dumbass"). I think it's just rude and immature. I love using this platform to share opinions, facts, etc.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 5, 2019:

I see some of this but why do we bring Obama into it? Obama is not in power today. I see your post as a diversion along the lines of any current GOP supporter. Let's forget about our Trump problem and divert the conversation into something else. Fuck Trump!

DenoPenno replies on Mar 5, 2019:

@Surfpirate So, am I making it "one or the other" to only want to discuss or react to who is in power right now? Diversion does little here. People even end up forgetting the real topic. The basic idea in doing any good at all is that in the end the squeaking wheel gets the grease. This does not work when everything is so convoluted that others forget what the squeaking is about. Trump and the Koch brothers want you confused. Trump is so fuct that he is still talking about Hillary.

Which group of people would be more likely to help those in need... theists, agnostics or atheists?

Homeschooling is more of a joke. A vast majority of religious people want to home school for fear that their kid might be taught evolution and science.

I heard someone on tv (I think on Fox) say that people should have increased their withholdings so they would have actually gotten a refund at the end of the year--and if they didn't, it's their fault. I really hope they run with that message, lol.

@SwampBatman A vehicle is not a gun. It's hard to do a gun vs. vehicle death comparison without looking ignorant. Maybe you think we should vet the vehicle buying process more closely. Don't let the mentally deranged buy a vehicle or maybe make them wait 3 days or more before they pick it up.

@LimitedLight It was their money in the first place and we froze it to keep them from it. Later we returned it and rival politics had a fit saying we gave money to Iran.

I refuse to watch because I already know what is going on. This moron is trying to scare Americans into believing that illegals are coming across our border with Mexico to kill you, and he will have family members of murder victims there. No proof of how the illegals got here but Trump will use this for his wall argument. He will also say that he is forging ahead and already building that needed wall with 172 miles of it completed already. He's lying again. In reality this is normal maintenance that is being carried out. He may threaten another shut down soon but look for him to declare his "national emergency" on February 15th.

Religion and Marriage

DenoPenno comments on Jan 27, 2019:

It would depend on if one was trying to convert the other or not. That and secrecy. If the JW even mentioned that their partner was atheist the other JW's would excommunicate her if she did not leave him.

DenoPenno replies on Jan 28, 2019:

@Dewayne5068 I have JW relatives is how I know. Evangelicals do the same thing with examples of plowing and having your animals "unequally yoked." The fundamentalists ones will try to get a believer out of a relationship with a non-believer and they think they are doing "the work of god." Your situation might work if the JW person does not go to meeting and has no other JW's coming around to make her come back.

Writing about things is a good idea. I look back on things I had written about bad relationship times in my 12 year marriage and today I can't make total sense of it, but it seemed important at the time. Now that I am on the outside of the "ring of fire" it is much easier to see things as they were.
