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. There comes a day when you have to allow the child into the real world and being home schooled for the wrong reasons could backfire on the parent and cause anguish to the child.

@GipsyOfNewSpain I think the move back to vinyl is more along classical music venues. They say it sounds better. I don't see the music industry as going back to records like we had before. I prefer digital myself and my ears seem happy.

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.

@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.

Religion and Marriage

SeaGreenEyez comments on Jan 15, 2019:

I married an American Muslim. Our respective faiths (my lack thereof) were never an issue. Early in my adult life, I was a Bible-thumping theist and my spouse was an Atheist. Again, it was never a problem. Where I would have a problem with a JW is that's a cult, and I can only stretch my "to ...

DenoPenno replies on Jan 27, 2019:

All religion is a cult. Some are mainstream and some are not.

Some folks harbour so much ignorance and hate in their heart.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 27, 2019:

It is letting up some but people still want me to hate my ex. I suppose the first reason would be because she left me, but sometimes you go in different directions. It's no secret even to me that the real reason is racial. Dumb whites feel threatened by others, and usually for no reason.

DenoPenno replies on Jan 27, 2019:

@PalacinkyPDX Sorry. Cultures also have racial and class divides.

Bill Maher Doubles Down on Comic Fans

JeffMesser comments on Jan 27, 2019:

There was nothing hilarious about it. Minutes earlier Maher railed on Bloomberg about criticizing those who choose to smoke marijuana. Then he himself turns around and ridicules those who choose to follow the myths they enjoyed as children. His lack of consistency belies a lack of understanding....

@LiterateHiker I love super hero movies but lately I have come to find many of them too juvenile. Maybe it's because there are no new plot lines and everyone is a super hero.

@KKGator Since we know he will not get his money exactly as he wants it I say let him declare a national emergency. Any way you look at it 2000 miles of border wall is not going to be finished even by 2024.

DenoPenno replies on Jan 26, 2019:

In todays world you have to see news from all over the world to put it together and know true news. Otherwise you are simply going along with a fake president and his claims of fake news. BTW, what he means here is the news that he wants you to believe. Some people are too ignorant to get that. Trump supporters with a somber face tell me "we have always had fake news." Sure, but I guess they bought it and drank the koolaide.

Let's hope so. Trump is already getting ready to declare his "national emergency" at the border if he doesn't gt the wall money. It's in the works in draft form now.

I'm not a fan either. Most tattoos do not fit the definition of "body art." My 2 daughters both have tattoos and they love them.

I seriously doubt that Cheeto ever took serious responsibility for anything he has done.

It's a good thing we don't live in an age of cheap drones that could fly over a wall. We have also not invented ropes, ladders, or shovels yet, so the wall should be impervious. I still think Clinton should announce she is for a moat with Canada just to see what Fox News and Trump says. Maybe we ...

@Charlene I believe he is working with Miller mostly on this border situation and they decided to change it into a "humanitarian crisis" because they were fast losing support.

Both parties are equally to blame for all of the problems in this country

DenoPenno comments on Jan 25, 2019:

I like your meme but both parties are not to blame. The cult like worship of political puppets and believing that we need them to run our lives has much to do with what is going on. A simple question in America today would be can you name any person in our history who could do or say what Trump has ...

DenoPenno replies on Jan 25, 2019:

@RobertMartin Why would a party be to blame when an ignorant man shuts down the government? Trump said he would be proud to shut it down if he did not get his money, so he shut it down. That's pretty plain and it is not how to negotiate. Now he has caved and government will re-open. Who knows the mind of Donald Trump? Trump himself cannot answer that because he lies too much.

It’s hard to believe that in 2008 I was canvassing for Obama. What changed?

heymoe2001 comments on Jan 25, 2019:

Both sides have gone off the deep end. There is no way conservatives at the moment can be considered reasonable but the other side is equally ridiculous. There seems to be an all-or-nothing, us-against-them manner of thinking. It is dangerous and it got this country a baffoon in the whitehouse....

DenoPenno replies on Jan 25, 2019:

@genessa I find it strange that some think the left has caused a loss of civil liberties when such liberties did not arrive through the right. In fact, using religion to fight abortion for any reasons, the right will do or claim anything to get that child born. Once birth occurs the kid is on his own in every way possible.

This is an instance where we should mind our own business.

Can people get together to talk about science?

DenoPenno comments on Jan 23, 2019:

They should. I love science but you tend to lose me talking of Shroeder's cat and a multiverse. Let us discuss science that we have some evidence for and not just make things up. When you make things up or talk of "what if" you tend to sound like a theist in my opinion.

I'm not trying to kid anyone. I have what I want and I'm able to buy what I want, but this does not mean I simply go out and buy a new car. Different car maybe but not a new one. I hear people talk about a fantastic lotto win and how they would buy everything new for all their families. Homes, cars, etc. My first words to them is that they would be broke then. You can help your families without doing idiot things like that. The first thing I would do is hire a financial planner.

American gun culture is a religious cult. I've been a gun owner and shooter since I was 16, so I'm not against gun ownership. What I'm against is unregulated gun ownership, open carry, and concealed carry with no permit. It's insanity.
