How many others are offended because of Billy Graham's body being placed in the US capitol?

EMC2 comments on Feb 26, 2018:

No I am not. Martin Luther Kings, bust is in the capitol. Graham was indeed a special character in American History so I do not really care. Personally, I never gotten bent out of shape over Graham but at that time I hated the Pope. Now I like the new pope and hate Grahams son. All in all I believe Einstein should be represented in the WH, Science must share the space of greatness and future. Not freaking religion

Does anyone else enjoy saying goddamn in front of Christian's or is it just me?

EMC2 comments on Feb 26, 2018:

Never really thought about it but I guess yes I do.

SCIENCE MATTERS Not just during historic rocket launches.

EMC2 comments on Feb 25, 2018:

So ABSOLUTELY true. If society focused on science, we would be quite successful as a species. The beauty of science is that it is true whether one believes it or not. And those that believe it, have brought our species quite far.

For those without a degree... Do you ever wish that you had one or had finished one?

EMC2 comments on Feb 25, 2018:

I recall being an honor student but in no way acted like one. A blue collar family and I went to community college against the wishes of my family, After getting an Associates degree I gave up and stayed home as a blue collar worker. Wow, two years past and I was not going anywhere so I gave my car and TV away and went to get my 4 year degree/ At that time it was a very worth while endeavor as it opened many doors. Now I sit and wish I had gone for my PHD

What's your favorite pizza?

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

A NY city supreme from anyone. Forget the fish though

Does pineapple belong on pizza?

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

It refers to apples not being allowed on pizza , that is why the apple pines in pineapple

OK.

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

When one feels left behind in society they tend to find refuge in a wrapping of rational thought. Seek out religion and patriotism but with a twist that justifies their insecure stance. Guns and Amendment 2, brings a strong social network which is very vulnerable to logic, so they merely dig deeper and eventually change the mission of their jesus into a nutjob

I just want to meet someone who is intelligent and who doesn't get their info from Fox News.

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I thought the same but then found out how many do watch and BELIEVE FOX I have been dating a woman for about four weeks and all was good, She is very nice and smart, Then the recent school shooting happens and she supports NRA and arming teachers. She told me she wants an AR/ HOLY shiiiiit, Man was I surprised, I just told her , we are not compromising at all. Good bye

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Well it is Texas, Know well for their incredible stupidity.

Does America really need the NRA.

EMC2 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I fully agree. What the hell are we, as a nation, doing with an organization that pays our senators and congress with the title NRA. We are NOT , or should not be know for guns and we are. It is so stupid

EMC2 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

Isn't that the reality of it. I find the exact same thing to be happening. And then when you get there , you ask are you the person in the pics.

God was looking out for me this morning.

EMC2 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

Because he works in strange ways. Very very strange and odd, He likes to hurt some and watch the others worship him.

Pluto's Surface Changes Faster Than Earth's, And A Subsurface Ocean Is Driving It

EMC2 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

Oh what we are learning about our cosmos, is astounding, the new WEBB telescope will be launched soon and this will allow us resolution and light frequencies never observed by humans. I wish science would be emphasised more on television. the world needs to know what we have learned over the last few decades since the advent of complex technology. did you know Trump is cancelling our membership in the space station, ISS, He has decided to sell our share . What a fool.

If we're serious about drawing distinctions between "acceptably dangerous" and "unacceptably ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

I want gun control like the other civilized nations. We do not need military style weapons to protect our self, we need to be practical Who really NEEDS a high energy killing machine who is not in the military or police.

After Mass Shooting, FL House Votes to Put “In God We Trust” Signs in Schools – Friendly ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

The strangest thing was when the Charleston church was murdered as they were in service. these people were dearly close to their god and they actually showed extreme grace after the shooting. Now for these other religious bigots, go screw yourself

How was your process of leaving religion?

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

Wow I would ask if there is a better god since trusting this one got you killed

Conspiracy theories?

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

I do not adhere to them either however the 911 event is certainly lacking in scientific fact. And of course I do not believe Oswald could have done such a hit in the time he had. But I will not call these conspiracy, just reality in covering facts. A conspiracy is something absolutely not true such as Christianity, Based nothing on facts , rather just what one wants to conspire to be true.

Church blesses assault weapons because ‘returning Christ’ will pack an AR-15

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

I agree, I have told my brother the pastor who voted for the Trumpet, to imagine jesus walking along with such a weapon, and also what would jesus do if he say someone with an AR 15 It is truly overly frustrating, yes it is, These kids are marvelous speakers and well developed as future leaders. I do NOT see our nation caving in to this crap

CDC Scientists Plea to Congress: Let Us Research Gun Violence

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

It truly hurts deep in the soul when you watch the orange racoon hat sit there as president and not even give a damn about it. He is pathetic and definitely not too bright. To hear these kids voices and not get it?????? Not understand that the right wing is just hurtful

When we call them sheeple, I don't think this is what they meant. [sciencealert.com]

EMC2 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

This is definitely the future. For some reason many humans want to keep on living and living and so on. If we can grow our own organs we are going where we, in general, wish to go.. check out where science is with neuroscience, it is astounding, we are able to implant memory into rats from another rat.

For atheists - what makes you believe no deity exists?

EMC2 comments on Feb 21, 2018:

Me. I am the same thing as their god. we are all our own creations and we build ourselves, not a man in the sky

Do Christian condone everything that happen in their bible.

EMC2 comments on Feb 21, 2018:

Well they don't have to condone anything, as long as their god did it and they fear the shit out of this god, they have to accept or be punished by the devil

How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 21, 2018:

NOW that is brilliant. I love it. The screening or vetting would be extensive and tedious.

How do you deal with disappointment in life?

EMC2 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I don't know it has been disappointing trying to deal with it

Trump Budget Sends $1 Billion To Private Religious Schools

EMC2 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

It is truly astounding that Trump does a lot of illegal stuff , ignores the constitution, condemns people, lies constantly and then hurts the non white, non religious people. And the republican congress is the largest gathering of cowards possible. they sit there pretending Trump is good.

How about a non-hysterical discussion about guns in the US?

EMC2 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

And most importantly let us include the citizen ban of assault weapons. This is paramount to any other discussion, Yes we all have the right to own self defense, a gun, a hunting rifle but no one should out gun the police with military ability. We all would agree no one has the right to an assault weapon? I certainly hope so Man, I really hope so.

Quark Stars? (& 2 'Ask a Spaceman')...g:8 [space.com]

EMC2 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I am a science buff and read continually. It would be nice to have a forum for science talk, the new discoveries regarding super black holes is wonderful in many ways. They may be the door to the other side with a quasar, Space/time is just too amazing to not stay tuned

Male circumcision, no matter what reason is barbaric and primitive.What's your take?

EMC2 comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I agree it is so barbaric . Unless medially required, do not do this, Men lose 40 -60% sensitivity when the foreskin is removed. I want mine back

After 10 Years, Here's Why I’m Over Online Dating | HuffPost

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

Oh I have plenty of experience with it over the past couple decades, I met my second wife online. It is, as mentioned by another, overwhelming in volume of people to view. And as stated you tend to like and continue to looking for a better fit . I like it because of the chatting however I am not trying my butt off to get a date, that is easy, it is the liking and many times the person you meet is not the one you thought to be

What made everyone become agnostic or so forth?

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

What made agnostic is the same thing that defines sexuality, It is just who you are, be natural and be confident. Think about your age and what your take would be if you never were told this is the word of god Think about how you would see things. agnostic is only natural

First Amendment - Is the separation of church and state absolute or should the government fund ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

It is absolute in my mind, as I read it , it was important at that time to establish religious liberty. With our immigrant population we have all religions, NO government should ever utilize theology as a core of governing people

While growing up, I was raised by my parents as a Catholic.

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

The higher power you believe in is yourself, That is the higher power we all own and own it fully. You have been through some real soul searching and have faced some serious situations. Your parents are there because you choose to have them in your life. I realize jobs are scarce but so is your quality. You are brave having come to knowing who you are and accepting it. Now you must learn to cherish your specialness and get along out there You have that ability to love and be hapy

Is there a reason we should speak respectfully of the dead?

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

As much as it is while they are still alive. If you do not like someone, you do not like them. Respect is a must but liking is not.

Should you be friends first before dating or just go head and and date?

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

It is a great question. I have dated a LOT in my life and the vast majority were dating at first. The relationship always , seemed to me anyway, that it was committed due to the sex. Now at the age of 66, I am single and not wanting to date any further I want a good female friend and then see where it goes. Good luck to both of us

So I got a 7 year old, Easter is coming up soon and he wants to know is Jesus really real and will ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

I always used the truth with my children on this issue. Mom believes this however, I do not and no one knows for certain. Both my children were baptised catholic and I proudly state they are not religious. Maybe my truth enlightened them

Any President's Day plans? Here's a suggestion.

EMC2 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

Today I recall the many times I was proud of our president but with the orange headed racoon hat idiot we now have, I merely hand my head in shame. Presidents day without a president

I see a lot of debate and memes on Facebook about guns.

EMC2 comments on Feb 18, 2018:

Ok everyone, see the debate goes nowhere , we have the staunch gun owners who believe all are evil and need to be defended against. On the other hand the debate is the same only there is a dose of common sense attached to it. Defend your castle, absolutely on both sides, do not murder, absolutely on both sides. But who out there truly needs an AR ? If you hunt with it you are not a hunter, if you feel you need to take on the police, I'd rather you not have a gun

I see a lot of debate and memes on Facebook about guns.

EMC2 comments on Feb 17, 2018:

Guns were never meant to reach this level. At the time of the 2nd amendment one could fire off perhaps three rounds in one minute. Now we do 700 rounds per minute. I do not believe most have an issue with a hand gun or hunting rifle but assault weapons are not needed unless you are looking to assault society We will eventually ban these bad weapons and yes the kill rate will fall.

Gun control? Yes or no and why?

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Yes oh yes. Who on earth NEEDS an assault rifle?? Hell we have the highest murder and violent crimes rate in the world and the other nations do not have assault rifles walking the streets. No excuse is even possible to support the right to have an assault rifle, NO excuses can even exist and if they do , please share one with me

What is the real problem (about guns)?

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

we do NOT have a larger mentally ill population than any other nation. NONE> and is the civilized nations they do not allow assault weapons and most do not allow guns. Why is our rate so damned high comparatively.

I follow the Trump investigation closely and have reached the conclusion that Mueller will indeed ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

With the news now breaking regarding 13 russian indictments and the reason for such, even had Fox state the russian investigation is not a hoax.

How do you feel about (boy) scouting?

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Before black and white television this was the role model and in terms of today, it is time to update them or let them go. Teaching kids they will never be equal in god's view, Back then it was nothing but now it means something

What do you know well enough to teach others?

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

First off Ken, Love your stratocaster, she is a baby, I know me well enough to show others how to know themselves. Spent a long time constructing this. Now regarding science, I am a life long participating fan, I am well read in the field and particularly physics. ONce someone achieves a minimal grasp of science, how it works and the standards it stands by, they become enlightened, Part of my teaching in knowing yourself is of course, a working knowledge of science. science is the answer to all. ALL

Does any of my American Agnostic friends have any written proof that Donald Trump supports the KKK ...

EMC2 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Yes, his news clips. His father was a member of the KKK and carried their views. Then The Don says on television the blacks live is shit, no jobs , no education, no money, The list of his disgusting prejudiced remarks stand and remain in his media engagement. No doubt about it. Hope you also agree, The nation is getting pretty damned dumbed down on the right side.
