Freedompath's Profile

Any Robert Jordan Fans ? The Wheel of Time ? Possibly the best fictional series ever ?

Freedompath comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Sorry, I am a non-fiction person (a realist), but I see that you are new and I wanted to say welcome and how I would love your dogs!

Freedompath replies on Apr 26, 2018:

@EvoQ I could so relate to what you wrote...my home was nice and paid for and yet it too, was a prison! I have not one close friend here! They are all else where! I wish you luck and keep in touch, you would be welcome to my desert home! I feel free at last...that is if I can get out of this condo, by Monday! I had to give my dog up when I became disabled 10 yrs ago, but as soon as I get back to Deming, I intend to get myself another rescue!

Looks like MACRON, is on the opposite side of trump!! We really aren't alone, after all!

dkp93 comments on Apr 25, 2018:

So is Macron playing Trump the way Trump played his supporters? The touchy feely bromance between them is nauseating to watch!

Freedompath replies on Apr 25, 2018:

It for sure seems contradictory in actions, but his speech to Congress was all against trump!

Too funny... ://[www.youtube.com/user/MBest11x]

Emme comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Marine comments on Apr 25, 2018:

Trumpie does not believe the other part of the government is legitimate and does not need to take part in anything especially since they will phrase him.

Freedompath replies on Apr 25, 2018:

NO constructive criticism for this dude...I would not be surprised to learn...that he has no grasp of that concept! That is kinda unbelievable when you think about it!!

If you REALLY click with someone online.

Freedompath comments on Apr 24, 2018:

Reminds me of when my grandaughter found a relationship on line and he came to visit at my daughter's house, where my grandaughter still lived and their cat apparently took to the fellow, so my daughter was certain he was a great person! NOT! When she went to visit him, it was disastrous!

For me, it was me that was the terrible person in the relationship. She tried very hard, in her own way to make things work but it just became a battlefield. I didn't love myself, and so I didn't know how to reciprocate her love in a healthy way. The reason we tried for so long probably has to do ...

Freedompath replies on Apr 25, 2018:

@Lethallips I would like to expound on your point about 'intelligence and emotional!' Without the capacity (intelligence), I have not seen much progress in the 'emotional' development department. We need to understand the concept and then believe in and work at...be emotionally balanced. I can believe that some people are mild mannered and laid back and still not be emotionally balanced, in a complete sense! On, the other hand, i have know highly trained intelligent people who were way out of balance emotionally! Could you agree?

At least he's meeting a liberal with inclusive world views. Right now the international news commentators are calling Macron "The Trump whisperer," since he's got Trump talking about softening on Iran and the global warming treaties.

News bulletin: Trump won the 2016 election. Live with it. Do you invite your worst enemies to dinner? I thought not.

Freedompath replies on Apr 25, 2018:

The opposite party is still part of our democratic government...which represents the other Americans, last I checked few moments ago! We have never squeezed out portions of our citizens because they belong to opposite parties...that is a new construct!

Here is an interesting statistic from Australia, females over 15 are more likely to be physically assaulted in their own home than anywhere else with over 50% of such assaults occurring at home, next comes where they work or study, after that we've got someone else's home, then we have other public ...

Freedompath replies on Apr 24, 2018:

@273kelvin that is one scenario and another is males between those ages are at a higher risk for violence. But, this does not cover all situations! And, violence is never acceptable! I was just remembering from years past and observations now. I believe my mind wondered back over other aspects of our society and may have confused things here. Please except my apology.

SinCityHeathen comments on Apr 24, 2018:

You're 100% correct @blindbird, and I applaud your strength to circumnavigate the world around you with such confidence. Even as a Humanist, I try not to interfere in anyone's path. With that, there is an exception to my own personal rule; if you are my family or close friend regardless of gender, ...

Freedompath replies on Apr 24, 2018:

@SinCityHeathen as I read your post, it brings to mind my own children, admonishing me for certain behaviours. I noticed that, in spite of their concerned voice...it makes me question my own abilities. 'Is there really something that I am not seeing here', etc? Then, i must bring myself back into alignment and see if indeed I am going beyond by abilities? Their caution needs to be carefully presented, as it can plant 'fear,' in a person's mind that makes them hypersensitive, which can set-up subconscious doubt, in their ability to do certain things!! And, I have also detected a realization from my children that I am aging and that seems limiting, in their eyes! EVEN, as they have evidence of my own clear focus...when I do anything!

Telling women not to do things because "it's not safe" is a big pet peeve of mine.

Novelty comments on Apr 24, 2018:

My best friend in high school back in 1973 was fearless, she hitchhiked a lot and was brilliant. One day we noticed she was missing. No one has seen her since. I don't tell my daughters to be careful so I can control them. If that makes me paternalistic so be it. I don't give a damn if you ...

Stressing how to be alert and how to take in all your surroundings is the most needed skill. But, there are no guarantees, that I have found in this life!

@273kelvin that sounds like 'male on male,' assault...with high chance of alcohol involved.

jellyfish comments on Apr 24, 2018:

I agree. It does sound pedantic. What's funny is the dangerous activities I've done, sky diving,scuba,skiing etc. at least have the participants were women. But answer me this; why are there so many young attractive female teachers having sex with male students. BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS

Freedompath replies on Apr 24, 2018:

I couldn't agree more!

@Ciravolostone back again...it tells me, someone, is yerning for their love! Maybe the 'innocent and naive' does not apply here? Do you know the writings of James Cavanagh? (Hope I spelled right). I had 2 books of his wonderful poems and I gave them to my son, and now I miss them!

HeraTera comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Kids are always told they don't know anything - their thoughts and feelings invalidated by adults who think they know more and usually do "KNOW" better but don't "FEEL" better. Teenagers feelings are authentic, intense, and marvelous. They can also be scary.
