Gatovicolo comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Well, I don’t generally teach in a skirt, but my students typically require my attention all the time.

How do you view indoctrination?

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 21, 2018:

I believe in both freedom and education. Both will result in the loss of religion.

Is there a UNIVERSAL morality?

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 20, 2018:

There are universal mores across cultures. Murder, un-sanctioned killing, is universally condemned. Look into cross cultural anthropology.

We always heard the scientists say "the universe is expanding" and since there is "nothingness" ...

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 20, 2018:

That’s an assumption that’s not necessarily correct. And just what constitutes nothingness?

MeToo Backlash | January 17, 2018 Act 1 | Full Frontal on TBS - YouTube

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 20, 2018:

No. I don’t. Something needs to happen, but I think this will have a more negative reaction than the members of that movement anticipate. The accusations w/o proof that are leveled against men are tantamount to witch hunting. I think a more measured approach is due that involves rigorous investigation and prosecution for sexual harassment. This crap with Al Franklin is a perfect example. I’ve seen the careers of men destroyed by false accusations by women trying to take advantage. When the only thing you need to do is accuse someone of something, then there’s a real problem.

Happily single—or not?

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 19, 2018:

I like the independence, lack of the need to compromise and the absence of emotional drama. I miss the sex, intimacy, the regular adult conversation, mutual emotional support, the presence of another person sharing my life... Happily single? Some times. Sometimes not. I’d like to have both, but I don’t think it’s possible.

Soulmates - is there just the one?

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 19, 2018:

Nope. It’s all a matter of matching personalities. That can happen many times.

Witches

Gatovicolo comments on Jan 19, 2018:

New age paganism is at best acmodern interpretation of barely known ancient practice. Like Druidism. The druids were destroyed befor the common era by pagan romans. Assatru is at least taken from the mythology of Scandinavia. It’s actually there because of Sturluson. But both were folk religions. The current pagan religions are divorced from the culture of the ancient celts and Scandinavians by thousands of years. They’re really more of a social club playing at something they know little of. Of course, there are other pagans that have plenty of evidence in the historical record I.e., Roman/Greek. But the same objection can be made for them.

Glad to be here. Hope to make a ton of friends and who knows maybe a "soul"mate gag gag choke lol

I think that’s a characteristic of men in general. If you want something fixed, tell a guy. He’ll try to fix it. It seems to be how we’re wired intellectually. If he’s no trying to fix it, then he probably doesn’t care.
