Does anyone remain confident in Trump
Gohan comments on Feb 9, 2018:
Unfortunately he has a cult following. For them, he can do no wrong. There's a perfect word to describe Trump and that word is trumpery.
Favorite Anything?
Gohan comments on Feb 9, 2018:
Driving a Pontiac Fiero GT.
POF - Plenty of Fish. Anyone familiar with it or use it? What are your thoughts on pof?
Gohan comments on Feb 8, 2018:
I have a POF account and I've had some dates. It used to be good, but since ownership of the site has changed hands it has become nothing but porn ad after porn ad. You have to pay to see your matches on the meet me section. I think it needs to go back to being the great site it once was. It needs to be 100% free again. Now, I shall step down from my soapbox.
I want to thank @Affinis for giving me this idea (after reading your thread on Lorraine Hansberry).
Gohan comments on Feb 8, 2018:
Dogma (1999)
What does American greatness mean to you?
Gohan comments on Feb 7, 2018:
The United States of America has never been great. It has always been a work in progress. Some members of our government like to see progress halted at all cost. Some have a different view and wish to push us into the future with a sense of dignity. We've seen democracy work. Some individuals seek to tear down all that has been built because of their personal beliefs. We need to make our representatives represent the people not the corporations.
Is it easy for you to adapt to change?
Gohan comments on Feb 7, 2018:
Change is inevitable and necessary. Without it life would be uninteresting.

What do men want in a woman?
Gohan comments on Feb 4, 2018:
I cannot speak for all men, but what I look for in a woman is someone who is a friend, confidant, and lover. Someone I can spend time with me and never tire of my company. Someone who understands even when I don't.
If you won the lottery,,,
Gohan comments on Feb 4, 2018:

Southern region question- Is it true that Dunkin Donuts builds near a Publix?

Gohan comments on Feb 3, 2018:
I began writing due to the office environment. Whenever I had a chance I would write a paragraph or if I was lucky to have the time a whole page.
Favorite quotes.
Gohan comments on Feb 3, 2018:
"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment... because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal." -Jean-Luc Picard Star Trek: Generations

Do you belive in Ufos?
Gohan comments on Feb 1, 2018:
I believe that there's a high probability of the existence of aliens. As for UFOs they're real until they've been identified.
Do you find learning new things exhilarating or do you feel like learning is a tedious chore?
Gohan comments on Jan 31, 2018:
I find learning new things to be exhilarating. Words are fun, but I have found using proper English makes some feel vacuous, so I refrain. In my writing I will not succumb to others' unwillingness to pick up a dictionary.
Have you ever burned a bible?
Gohan comments on Jan 31, 2018:
I have a love for books, so to burn one is a sacrilege in and of itself. This is of course my opinion. To each their own. I don't judge. I see a bible or any other religious text as a work of fiction designed to manipulate.

Joker (The Dark Knight) Loki (Avengers) Gul Dukat (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) Captain Gabriel Lorca (Star Trek Discovery)
Would you raise your children religious just to fit in?
Gohan comments on Jan 30, 2018:
No. I would teach them to think critically and question everything. They may be ridiculed by those who don't follow their religious morals, but they will live happier lives.
Is it wrong to use child soldiers?
Gohan comments on Jan 30, 2018:
Even if the children survive a war they will be casualties even if their bodies are unharmed. It's morally reprehensible. Anyone pushing a child into war should be tried for crimes against humanity.
State of the Union Address, anyone?
Gohan comments on Jan 30, 2018:

Sex. And, then what?
Gohan comments on Jan 28, 2018:
Cuddle while engaging in conversation.
Liberals
Gohan comments on Jan 28, 2018:
How about we dispense with the labeling and have true representatives who care about what their constituents want. This is called democracy. What the "patriot" conservatives what is more money and are willing to create policies that grant them this. And to have some morals is "liberal" and is taboo. I was born in this country and was taught the ideals of our forefathers and they are not being lived up to.
Do you think scientists will find cure for aids and cancer
Gohan comments on Jan 28, 2018:

What if?
Gohan comments on Jan 25, 2018:
The Pope said there's room in Heaven for moral atheists. I guess he's supposed to have God at his ear. So, don't sweat it.
Do you like to play brainy games or enjoy puzzles of any sort?
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
I enjoy playing video games, puzzles, and Sudoku. Making my brain work makes real work better and easier.
Send Betsy DeVos a message: let her know how she has failed to make the grade. – NEA
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
Trump said it himself, "I love the uneducated." He has a track record of appointing people in positions they staunchly disagree with. In DeVos' case, she hates education with a passion. She wants to destroy the population by making our children into mindless slaves only capable of pulling levers and digging coal. That is something that should not stand and it has for the past year. Don't just impeach Trump, that won't solve the problem. Invalidate the entire administration and remove them from office. We can no longer tolerate a government that only works for corporations with little to no regard for the people. Return democracy.

What is your favorite movie of all time and why?
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. When I was eight the thought of space travel fascinated me. I was learning about space in school and the evolution of technologies for that purpose. And I liked whales too.
Was I wrong to laugh in her face?
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
It's natural to laugh at the ridiculous. It seems that those who place faith in a shared delusion can't seem to get that though they have faith does not mean everyone has to have faith in it.
You heathens eat pineapple on pizza?
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
Absolutely. I'm going to have some tonight. To each their own.
What would be the definition of hell to you?
Gohan comments on Jan 24, 2018:
Hell, in my opinion, is not some astral plane where your greatest fears are inflicted upon you because you sinned. I feel that Hell is a state of mind, whether it is caused by your environment or it is self-inflicted depends on the individual. Hell could be living with roommates that won't clean or pay their bills. Or, it could be meeting your significant other's parents and they hate you because you don't meet their standards. As for some place your soul goes to suffer endlessly, that may be a work of fiction to strike fear into people.
Are Immigrants Ruining America?
Gohan comments on Jan 23, 2018:

Gohan comments on Jan 22, 2018:
I'm currently editing my third novel, Where the Stars Hang (wtshnovel.weebly.com). My two published novels are available on Amazon (Veiled Stars and Measured Land.)
How Many Writers In This Group?
Gohan comments on Jan 22, 2018:
I'm a Science Fiction writer. Veiled Stars and Measured Land both available on Amazon. One, Where the Stars Hang, is in the editing phase. One day I was bored at work and pulled out a notebook and began writing a novel (I might go back and rewrite it,) ever since I've been writing and getting better at it as time progresses.
Are there any creative writers in the group?
Gohan comments on Jan 22, 2018:
Your point of view is what brings truth to your scribblings. Without it, the work will feel flat and without substance. Pour yourself into the work.

Gohan comments on Jan 20, 2018:
...we allow our fears get the best of us, then we become monsters.
I was bullied all throughout my 12 years of school.
Gohan comments on Jan 19, 2018:
In my opinion, bullying is as bad as rape and should be treated as such. It tears people apart and leaves a lifelong wound that never fully heals. Those of us who suffered through the anguish can't fulfill our greatest potential in work and relationships. We trudge through life in constant fear. When we try to step out of the safety of our shells and is the tether that pulls us back.
Anyone into the Horror genre? What’s you number 1 film you’ve seen??

Alien.
Heard this today for the first time by Disturbed. Totally unexpected from them. [youtube.com]
Gohan comments on Jan 19, 2018:
In my opinion, this version conveys the emotional weight of living in such an environment would have. Though the original was great, this one hits me in the heart.
Had a conversation today with someone who asked if the Answers in Genesis Ark Encounter was ...
Gohan comments on Jan 19, 2018:
If the ship contained the DNA and the necessary equipment to support the cloning process, then this would make it plausible. As the people writing, rewriting, translating, and falling asleep while scribing by candlelight, they may have interpreted some details incorrectly making it seem like they led the animals up the ramp. Otherwise, Genesis might just be several hundred tons of animals two by two poo. The evidence isn't there.

What is the scariest thing you've ever done.
Gohan comments on Jan 18, 2018:
One day I was heading to work in my dad's 1986 Pontiac Trans Am. The 15 mile stretch of I-70 was clear. I reached the next town where I worked and took the exit. When I pressed on the brakes the pedal went to the floor. I pumped them to no avail. I was speeding toward the light on the traffic light on a busy street. I pulled the emergency brake and the rear wheels didn't lock. It had rained quite a bit the day before and I thought the mud would slow me down. I pushed the gear lever into neutral, aimed the car into the valley between the highway and the off-ramp. The car wasn't losing enough speed and at that speed if I turned sharp the car would've flipped. The thought entered my mind to push the gear lever into park, but I didn't. Instead I threaded the space between a pole and guy-wire. I hit the slope up to the surface street. It ramped me into the air over the lanes. Thankfully, they were empty at that moment. I slammed down on the other side of the surface street and drove down into the valley between the highway and the on-ramp. I had burned off enough speed to make a tight circle in the muddy grass. Luckily, I came out of the ordeal unscathed and the car was remarkably undamaged. Needless to say, I was late to work that day.

Are shorter people respected the same as taller people
Gohan comments on Jan 18, 2018:
I believe everybody deserves respect regardless of height, weight, gender, political beliefs, or religious beliefs. Respect is easily lost by action or inaction and difficult to regain.
