Which is the more disturbing, Russian politics or Islamic fundamentalism
Freedompath comments on Mar 27, 2018:
I think I would have to go with Russians! They are smart and know how to use their intelligence for harm in the very cleverest and ugliest ways...with no regret! I do not trust Russians...Islam fundamentialism has a lot of ignorance in it, and some sects do blow themselves up for the cause! But,...
Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj that is odd...but they have a history of poisoning people, one way or the other! I read an article from the UK, that noted Russia is the only place this gas is found...the Russians developed it!
Have you ever looked back on something did and wondered how you survived?

Well, there was that one time I had the speedometer needle wrapped around and pointing straight down to neutral. 5 drunks, me included on bald tires. Good times.

sassygirl3869 comments on Mar 30, 2018:
Oh yes traveling alone in a foreign country with virtually no money eating dates to survive and sleeping in youth hostels with no hot water, never mind bunk beds with thin mattresses, and no locks on doors. In a country like Israel in 1973 all I would see were camels, Arabs and solders. I can write ...

Estranged family?
fathercat comments on Mar 30, 2018:
Yes, 11 brothers and sisters. Zero connection.
Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
Wow! That is a lot! It surely must be odd, to have that many sisters and brothers and not have a connection! I wonder if this was true in the past or is this a 20th Century thing? Come to think of it, my children do not have much contact with each other!
Estranged family?
Clare comments on Mar 30, 2018:
Parents dead, sister's, don't talk to much at all. Brother not at all. I'm all alone.

Estranged family?
Akfishlady comments on Mar 30, 2018:
I have 10 living siblings and only briefly talk to one or 2 of them. I have about 40 neices and nephews as a result and very little contact with them. It is tough, just want to have family that I am connected to but it is impossible. So we choose family by way of those we keep in our lives.
Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
That is a lot of family! It must be more difficult for you, than most folks? I don't think that I have that many friends!
Estranged family?
OhioAdam comments on Mar 30, 2018:
My mom passed away when I was 18, and never had a relationship with any of my dads past then. I have two brothers, one died a couple of years ago and the other brother is on the same journey as myself, away from religion. So that's been nice.
Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
I believe that I could never go back to religion, it seems unnatural, somehow! Welcome to this forum, as I see that you are new!

@jorj I would say the oligarchs (who knows about what the people know... everything is carefully controlled) have no conscious...that particular nerve gas was not to ever be used, is what I read! Watching Putin over the years...I believe that he is very possibly, a 'for real' evil person. And, I hardly ever say that about a person! If you notice, his face only has one expression! Notice his eyes, they seem to have nothing behind them! He seems to be a tightly wound-up pkg! Lol. I have seen evil up close, and I don't trust Putin! I often wonder what he will look like as an old man?

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj well, I applaud you...that is an honorable thing on your part! Please, understand that I most likely grew up poorer than you! And, most of my life I was ashamed of my upbringing. But, I had a little idea in the back of my mind, that I wanted to be somebody! It took me many years to overcome so many obstacles...and I must tell you that I paid, some high prices at times! If you recall, I got 25 yrs of mental help. But, I never lost sight of the fact...that i wanted to be somebody! But, what that turned out to be was, just finding and honoring my real nature! I never wanted what others wanted, like fancy cars, jewelry, clothes fine house! I am really a peasant, at heart! Or maybe a gypsy...but these things were frawned upon in society so I tried to be like what THEY wanted me to be! Money, is not the measure of a 'man'...status, is not the measure of a 'man' (as in mankind). To honor and nurture our own nature is the real measure of a 'man!' And, that is what I strive for everyday! And now I am respected and taken seriously! I am myself and I do much more than I ever did in the past! Make sure you are doing things for yourself, that supports your true nature...it pays off in ways that you cannot envision, until you are old and grey! Now, I look back and see that my upbringing helped me to understand so much more than I would have ever been able to, otherwise! Make your life, what you want it to be...that is worth something!

@jorj well, don't waste your intelligence worrying about people you have no control over! It will suck the life right out of you! I do believe we need to keep abreast of what our government is up to, but change comes very slowly for anything...there are no instant fixes! OR...quick fixes! So relax, and make your life good for yourself...you WILL need it, if you live until old age!

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj I agree there is some truth in what you are saying. However, if you want to be a catalyst for change, you must know yourself first! It is not possible for any other person to change the thinking of other people...they will change when they are able to and no one knows when that will happen for someone else! Heck, a couple of my children are out there in 'left field,' and I am not referring to politics! There is much mental illness, on their father's side and my side! I have tried to educate them on mental illness, down through the years, but their problems may be above my 'pay grade!' If I want to be a fully functioning person, I will need to limit my time with them. Sometimes, we can't even save our loved ones! But, someone else, or something else may come along and help them, I can live with that. I must put myself in order, so that if I am needed I will have the where-with-all, to help! They are just angry, hatefilled people and that throws me completely off balance! I have stepped up to the plate and tried to find some resolution, but nothing has worked and now I am getting to the end of my life and I don't want my last few years filled up with anger! It sucks the life out of me! There is a deep problem when people have that much anger!

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj if you don't mind my advising you...I want to say that you are casting your 'net' to far! Focus on one issue at a time, then when you have gained enough information...only then can you began to see a bigger picture! Plus, you may be trying to understand everything all at once...and that is not possible for anybody! In fact, you could go into overload, and understand very little! This is simply the nature of the brain! Maybe you could do a little research on the 'brain,' to see how you could regulate yourself better. Now, I am speaking of research here. Your library should have CD's called, 'The Great Courses'...they have all kinds of research and lectures, by scientists, professors and other experts...on the brain! It helps to start at the main source of something! It helps to know how our brain works! These are college courses and you can find all kinds of ideas that you are interested in. I spent thousands of dollars buying these courses, until I couldn't afford them! We all need to limit our focus, because it helps in understanding things better. Nobody can take on our whole social order, within a short time span! I hope this is helpful to you, as that is my wish.

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj you should honor your specific nature! However, study of all kinds pays off...in dividends! You don't necessarily need to go to college...unless you have a burning desire to do something that requires that much study! I once felt less than other people because I did not have the education that I thought other people had! But i studied on my own, and now in my old age, I am out doing my peers...the ones that are still living! If you want to be happy and successful, follow your heart...develop your own interest, that is where your strength lies. And without our inner strength to support our own nature, life is harder and not much fun! You can check this out by observing the people around you!

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj you have not proved me wrong yet? If you came back to me and showed by your own description of that Cambridge Analytica, theory, then I would have to admit, I missed the mark! In the first place I was not putting you down...I was attempting to stress to you, that what that CA company is doing, is way above simple explanation! When I worked for the IRS, at a low level 5, I did not have the skills to perform at a grade 12, like my friend did! That is not an insult, that is a fact! This is where you are using issues to prove yourself by! How you treat others with dignity and regard, is what we judge ourselves with. Disagreeing with someone is not assulting their charater, unless you have degraded that person? Can you say that I have degraded you?

@NicoleCadmium yes, that is a biggie! But, I just bet...can't be certain, but this Pope would be perfectly fine with LGBT and any kind of persons! But, he would need to denounce his religion! Lol. Social changes take time, he is making a few and knowing how frozen in time, religious beliefs are...that is most likely a real challenge, where the Pope, sits! I sure appreciate him...it is not easy going against the 'grain!'

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj my feeling is that you are doing just fine...get use to being challenged, it is how we learn! When we don"t understand something we push back at the other person! And, if you make that something against you personally, then you will slow down your understanding of a matter! I once did exactly what you are doing, took opinions too personal (and in certain situations, I will find myself still doing that now)! Back in the day, I thought my opinions were who I was! I have all kinds of opinions...some people agree and other people push back and challenge me on them! Plus I learned my opinions changed in many cases...after I was able to comprehend more information...after I either...got new information or I simply couldn't/didn't understand before! So, in reality...I am not my opinions...people are more than just their opinions! You can verify this for yourself, by observing people around you! A human being is someone, who HAS opinions! I am not on this site to tout my knowledge, but I have gained a lot that I think would be helpful to others and I get another point of view here and I see how other people assimilate information and even their life...different from my own! So I am learning to accept THEM...even when I often times disagree on matters! No need to limit yourself here...real life isn't all that neatly wrapped up, at times! The same will be true here! But, it appears to me, that the majority of people on this site are here, because they want to face issues...and find 'real' understanding...not mud sling! I accept your apologie, but I think no apologie is necessary! I try to explain myself the best I know how and I think that other people are doing the same! The words are not always meant to insult, but to make a point! And, they can catch us off base, which brings out some anxiety! That is normal! If someone here just doesn't want you in their 'sights'...you will be deleated! For me as well! We will never please all the people all the time...and that is just fine! I find some people unpleasing, too, lol, and i may want to move off their radar! You, too!

Freedompath replies on Mar 30, 2018:
@jorj if you studied what Cambridge Analytica, did with people's Facebook information...that helped get trump elected...you would understand why I brought trump into my post! The CEO, explained it himself...what he used in the trump campaign! I can hardly grasp the concept myself...that is why I keep saying go and get the info 'from the horse's mouth!' He has developed a system, to hook people... who use the web, that will undermined us (rob our freewill)! It will make us do things...that someone else wants us to do...without OUR ever knowing that it is happening! (This is based on all that personal data that has been gathered on us, over time.) It is psychologyical war fare! He was proving it's validity, by how it got trump elected! Andrew Nix, (CEO) was happy about his creation, before that large crowd, in his lecture...(it was in the UK, I think, his business is in the UK)! My comment about your 'grade level,' is most likely true for this situation! Because, if you understood what this (CA) information means to everyone of us, you would be very concerned about your own welfare...and, not about me! Just about everyone uses AI...now days! And, everyword we put 'out there' is being analysed and collected! Everywhere we go with our phone on, is being collected! Now, if you are confident about your intelligence, use it to get educated about this matter, because 'the wild horse is out of the barn!' And...start 'seeing'...people with different points of view instead of LEFT or RIGHT people...I hate labels!

Freedompath replies on Mar 29, 2018:
@jorj maybe if you focused on one issue at a time, you could understand more! This thread was about Internet privacy...not Obama, not Hillary...but our personal privacy! If you are going to dispute Cambridge Analytica, at least go to their Web site and get information from their CEO! That is where I found my information! It may not mean anything at all to you...but I am neither LEFT nor RIGHT, and it makes me feel angry, that you are attempting to challenge me on ideas...that don't even apply! Have I once labeled you? I could care less which side you are on, as long as you respect the inherent dignity of all people! I am not your enemy, stop trying to make me one...it does not become you! Ps...the CEO, himself said it wasn't the same, as to what they did with the trump campaign! Surely, you would believe the person who set the whole thing in motion! He is telling this in a large crowd of people!

But, as I learned more on my own, I realized they must be sheltered, because there are poor girls in Thailand and I am sure they did not have masters degrees!

I've been trying to love myself for years. It takes time though to re-wire all those things that got drilled into my head as a kid. "You're stupid!" and "You're ugly!" Things like that get repeated by so many people when you're a kid and, in my case due to my OCD, they are very hard to let go of it....

Freedompath replies on Mar 22, 2018:
@Nothing well...if there is nothing perfect in the Universe...I guess we need not worry one way or the other? Which brings into question, if nothing is perfect...and if there was a 'god'...he would surely be imperfect too? So why are people going to 'hell' in a handbasket (by some religious teachings)? So that belies another question...why do we have so much punishment going on in the world, for all our imperfections? It is punishment here and in the afterlife!!

Freedompath replies on Mar 21, 2018:
@DUCHESSA. What is your idea of the 'root of the problem?' I have 3 sons, who went through teen age years...and they came out ok in the end! But, their teen years was a nightmare! As well as many of their friends and this was not the glorified 'gun' years! I never blamed 'anyone' for what is taking place around the glorification of guns! And, decent people have killed right here in this very country, as well as the next ones around here! I keep a distance from anyone that promotes his gun ownership as a badge of honor! But, I am aware of the violent 'video games' and the constant 'call' on 'our second amendment rights' justifing gun ownership...'in order to protect one's self' from their enemy who most likely is their neighbor! Because these people haven't been exposed to people much further than a 50-100 mile distance! In this area, people have no knowledge about people 2 counties over! If you believe that 'decent' people don't kill other people with their gun, you are the one who is living in la la, land and could use some knowledge on the nature of human beings! And, this did not cover the accidental gun deaths!

Then, kids with developmental problems, pick them up and kill people when they are just struggling with growing up! Early education about guns and how they kill, might be in order!

The GOP, promoted fallacious about Hillary for years, that is what brought her down! I watched it and thought how hard it would be for anyone to overcome what she was faced with. The GOP, 'poisoned the well,' the GOP, plays to win at whatever cost! These GOPs, in this very area, have done the same thing for years! They pander to these evangelicals, and they know exactly what to say...and then brag about what was accomplished, always at a distance! It is usually never local, so these people don't question!

That is a dismal thought! There are a few people who can lead, and new people would take time to accumulate, even if they were humane! I do believe Bernie is a straight arrow person, but his age is a factor! I have followed him for years and he DOES concern himself with the people. Adam Schiff (spell), of Calif, seems to be a level headed person and a good politician. But, he is calm, deliberate and thoughtful...not what all the low intelligent people think, will make a good leader! They need a person with more drama in his personality! That is what these people are accustomed to...in the pulpit! They need to be turned on! That would be at best 40% of the population! This is a major delimma, but no perfect person is going to show up, to run for our president! But if it gets worse than trump, there will be no hope! ...because, we may not have much of what we have come to know of America...left after these next two and half years! No, I refuse to believe trump will have an extra 4 years! His, is a totally, criminal mind and a lot of those people who thought he was the great savior will see through their own folly! There, is a shift here in this Evangelican Republican stronghold and we still have over 2 more years of trump! Trump is not capable of pulling himself together...it will get worse, unless some unknown forces, take over out of public eyesight and I don't see that happening, because trump can hurt people, BADLY! Only a totally isolated person does not know that now! It is going to be disastrous, for the next two and half years, with trump! I may need to bury my head in the sand!

I am surprised that you can say for certain, that protest 'don't work?' When nothing remains the same, even when we can't see it changing! 'Is anybody better off, now'... you say!

@LoveTravel-H2O I think the marches are important, because they allow people to make a public statement about their concerns. Do you recall the quote, 'life is a journey not a destination?' The 'work' is never done, it must always be reinforced by taking a stand, sometimes that means in public! There will always be issues that get highjacked by irrational thinkers and that requires the (hopefully) level headed people, to speak up for balance and justice.

My favorite quote, and important to me getting along, is Ring Lardner's "'Shut up' he explained." First I get the side-eye, and if I still don't stop talikng I get the quote.

Oh! That seems a bit extreem! Whatever, is churning in your brain...needs to express, itself! Sometimes, that isn't pretty either and can use a little light shined on it!

It is hard to believe that this is promoted in main stream society, but on the other hand, that has been the distortions coming out of, Liberty University for as long as I can remember!

@MattChanning ...why are you so defensive about 'nothing?' Your post indicates a person looking for a 'fight'...not another's point of view on some matter! Good luck with that...

@MattChanning my 'half full/half empty'...was only a metaphor for how I experience my reality, especially, at this time when I am moving and have a lot of emotional upheaval, with pairing down of a lifetime of collected stuff! My brain is not digging very deep at the moment! I do think that I may be different to you in one respect in that...when I see people in my mind...I usually see them as individuals, I rarely think of them in large bundles.
