How important is physical attraction?

How do u handle holidays?

IAMGROOT comments on Apr 2, 2018:

Although both of my parents were raised in different religions, neither of them were practiced in our home when I was growing up. We never attended any church and neither of my parents attempted to provide any spiritual guidance. We celebrated Xmas in the commercial way with a tree, gifts, sometimes we would connect with the larger family (my dad had two brothers and everyone was in the same area) and have a much larger gathering/gift exch. Easter was for hunting for the hidden easter baskets (I have two siblings). After I grew up and had my own family, easter was typically celebrated by going out to brunch (and no, nobody said grace, LOL!).

How religious family members "support" you.

IAMGROOT comments on Jul 21, 2018:

You nailed it in your last paragraph.

Have you ever watched a movie in an IMAX theatre?

IAMGROOT comments on Jul 6, 2018:

I agree with you. IMAX is da bomb, 3-D is overrated. It's tech from the 50s, for crying out loud. We have an authentic IMAX theater in downtown Sacramento.

Being limited to broadcast tv, I found little else on but The Sound of Music on ABC.

IAMGROOT comments on Dec 16, 2018:

I took a look at the SOM Wiki. I'm not aware of any other connections, but there certainly could be. Love that film, also loved the Lost in Space series. Pretty sure I had a big crush on Penny. =]

My youngest daughter graduated Saturday.

IAMGROOT comments on Jun 6, 2018:

I think that's awesome! All kids want their parents to be together, it's natural for them to want this. While I realize the togetherness you have is not "that" kind, I feel any solidarity your kids see has a positive effect on them. I am in a similar situation. My ex and I get along well enough to cooperate in the best interest of our teen-aged daughter and more. I don't see us getting back together, but there is nothing preventing us from being friends and I know my kids like that. (I have two)

Walmart Customers.......

IAMGROOT comments on Dec 5, 2018:

For the vets! In your opinion, what is the attitude of the rank & file in the armed services about ...

IAMGROOT comments on Mar 22, 2018:

Interesting question. I completed my service obligation in December of 1983 and have only an opinion on what the current attitude is. My guess is that while the majority are probably still believers, ranks of non-believers is growing rapidly, just as it is in the rest of society. For my part, I can say that when I enlisted in 1979, I was a dyed in the wool believer, sickeningly "witnessing" to anyone who would listen in idiotic attempts to save their "immortal souls." In basic training (Air Force), I recall everyone went to church, mostly to escape the alternative of cleaning toilets or whatever in the barracks. I went too, and I was immensely disappointed at the concert atmosphere. I barely remember what the chapel was like, but there was a stage with a live band. There was no real message or lesson being delivered. It was just entertainment. This was the beginning of the end for me. I wouldn't say I became an Atheist as a result of the experience, but my opinion certainly changed at that time. New information later helped to change my thinking completely.

I am curious as to how all of you with children, or thinking about having kids, feel about teaching ...

IAMGROOT comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I think you're handling it well. My kids both know what I think (I don't consider Atheism a "belief," but rather absence of it). Along with that, I have always encouraged them to do their own research on the subject of religion, or anything else for that matter, and then making up their own minds. The result is that the apples have not fallen far from the tree. My son (now age 26) is very "live and let live," and at the very least, is highly skeptical of religion. My daughter is my mini-me and has gotten herself into some minor arguments and controversies at school because she's a bit outspoken. (she's a performance artist, what can I say?)

Look what I got today! Sexy, huh?

Just finished reading "The Virtue of Selfishness" by Ayn Rand.

IAMGROOT comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I have read most of Rand's works and happen to agree with the Objectivist philosophy. I think her fiction does a great job of illustrating that philosophy. She uses pure archetypes and obviously many people have an issue with that, having been spoon-fed "flawed" heroes their whole lives. I think they are missing the point. Rand was a Russian immigrant who went on to become a screenwriter for Cecil B. Demille so I think she deserves some props. Her works have had an impact to this day.

Have you ever met a "flat earther"?

IAMGROOT comments on Mar 22, 2018:

I wonder if a study/survey has been done to measure the percentage of flat earthers who are X-tian, or other faith-based religion? My guess is it would be close to 100%! That's not to say there aren't intelligent religious people. I know plenty, but I think they may be predisposed to believe in this type of horse shit.

Just screened Avengers Infinity War for two other people.

IAMGROOT comments on Aug 10, 2020:

Both are incredibly sad. At the end of Infinity War when you realize Thanos is going to win, even though you KNOW most of these people will come back through some machination of time, it's pretty devastating to watch them all disintegrate. It was also pretty hard to watch Gamora die. In Endgame, RDJs scenes were the most moving for me. I am so invested in these characters, nearly all of them, that I can't even watch the final goodbye scene for Iron Man when they are panning through everyone and playing his recording to his daughter, without breaking down. "I love you 3000."

In your opinion what is the most likely thing that could halt human progress?

IAMGROOT comments on Apr 21, 2018:

"Halt" Human progress? That is a mighty big statement. I think it would take a great deal, but obstacles impeding/slowing progress, IMHO include: Government Religion The current infusion of religion into the US administration Global thermonuclear war Nationalism I don't subscribe to technological doomsday scenarios we see played out in film (Terminator, etc).

Name your Top 3 favourite computer animated full-length feature films.

IAMGROOT comments on Nov 28, 2018:

I have to agree with you on Ratatouille. That is a fantastic film. TS3 is probably my fav digitally animated film. Pixar is expert at creating a compelling and emotionally moving story and characters. We have all lived with Andy's toys through their adventure and (I have said this before in response to other movie posts and on FB) the scene at the end of TS3 when Andy is symbolically saying goodbye to his toys causes me to completely lose it. Not a fully animated film, I would add Avatar (the James Cameron film) to this list. While I'm not fully enamored of the eco-geek premise, the film is visually stunning. The CGI is seamless and the love story works. It's a movie I can watch repeatedly.

Universal Basic Income(in the near future)? And why you feel this way

IAMGROOT comments on Sep 18, 2018:

Definitely in the minority here, but I oppose this because it is unsustainable, for one. And two, it will only provide justification to tax those who actually earn their money even more to support those who don't. Collectivism = loss of freedom (and money). No thanks.

IAMGROOT comments on Jan 27, 2018:

You go girl! I just saw some survey result that indicated the highest percentage of responders (30%) believe religion is the cause of most human conflict. I agree wholeheartedly with that. Religion has caused more pain, suffering and death than anything else in human history. As Hitchens said, "Religion Poisons Everything."

I left my abuser over two months ago but I am still struggling and very unhappy.

IAMGROOT comments on Jan 28, 2019:

The first musical I can recall watching (or one I love that I know is pretty old) is The Sound of Music. I have always like film musicals, but wasn't introduced to musical theater until after my daughter was born. At age 4, she was already taking dance and quickly graduated to theater. Now she does both and takes jazz and tap along with voice coaching and has been performing with a local youth theater company non-profit for 6 years. It's an exceptional company who produce, IMHO, excellent shows. They are in rehearsals for Newsies right now.

How do you deal with telemarketers?

IAMGROOT comments on Jun 26, 2018:

I deal with them with much less patience than I used to. If I don't know the caller, I typically don't answer the phone, but every once in a while, the number will look "legit," and I'll answer. The last time this happened and it was a telemarketer I was rude, probably for the first time ever. I just said, "I don't want to talk to you right now." LOL! Immediate hang-up on the other end.

How do you people feel about prenups?

IAMGROOT comments on Jul 23, 2018:

It depends on the assets possessed going in, I think. Most states (probably) have laws recognizing commonlaw marriage after a certain point in time and dividing jointly acquired assets during the union equally if the relationship ends. I feel sometimes it makes sense, others it's not needed.

Parents: Do you use punishment?

IAMGROOT comments on Apr 23, 2018:

You should define the meaning of "punishment." I think you mean corporal punishment (spanking/hitting). If that is what you mean, I did not practice this. I have two children, one is grown, the other is 16. With my eldest, when he was young, on one occasion, I spanked him, but only because I had threatened to do so after repeat violations for the same thing and in order to maintain credibility, I had to follow through. In retrospect, I think that hurt me worse than it hurt him. There really is no need to spank your kids. When they are younger, using time-out is very effective when done properly. This is a method of control (because that's what we are really talking about anyway) that doesn't involve excessive force. If you have an especially unruly kid you may have to hold them in the chair, physically, until they accept that you are in-control. When they get older, suspension of privileges is effective, but again, you must follow through.

IAMGROOT comments on Feb 24, 2018:

The cause/reason for an event/occurrence can be explained, but things are not preordained to happen unless deliberately planned. There is no mystical being orchestrating events in the universe. As someone else has already said, "shit happens."

Sextortion - I learned a new word today.

IAMGROOT comments on Sep 7, 2018:

This is a common scam. I was hit at least 6 times by two different people (or maybe the same person using different spoofed email addresses, IDK). Yes, that initial email scared the shit out of me despite the "revelation" being completely untrue. The scam emails I received implied I was doing more than watching porn and they had installed keystroke logging software on my machine, yammer-yammer-yammer. I deleted them all. LOL!

Noob tats for middle aged white dudes?

IAMGROOT comments on Jun 22, 2018:

Dude! I'm not going to answer all your questions, but will touch on some: First, I'm turning 57 next month. I've had tats less than 5 years. I think your age, and what other people think don't mean shit, TBH. This is about YOU. Tattoos are like wine, subjective. I agree with you about skulls and some of the crap people put on themselves, but if that's what they like, that's what they like. Power to 'em. As for your personal choice of tat(s), totally up to you. Whatever is meaningful to you is all that matters. Location is also up to you. Some areas are much more painful than others, and that might be a factor. Also, ease of viewing (for you) may be something to consider. I have two large, elaborate tats; one on each upper-arm/shoulder. They are both meaningful to me (Groot on my right and a custom Tiki tat on my left). So you do you, man.

When did you start drinking coffee and why?

IAMGROOT comments on Oct 31, 2018:

LOL! (to your ice cream comments) My story is that my first taste of coffee was at age 16 while at a business meeting with my dad where we (and others) were being pitched on some brand of shock absorber by a corporate rep in a large warehouse conference room. There was coffee and donuts. My dad asked me if I wanted some coffee and I said sure. He asked how I wanted it. I said "the same way you take it." (with cream and sugar). It looked and tasted like mud. LOL! I didn't touch the stuff again until I was in my early thirties and stopped with my GF at the time at a diner on our way up to Lake Tahoe. I don't know why I ordered it. Maybe I just said yes to the offer by the waitress. Or maybe it was chilly out and it just sounded good. For whatever reason, I did it, and I liked it. I have been taking it black ever since and have acquired a strong preference for Starbucks (or other brand) French Roast. I consume about 2/3 of a pot each day. More on weekends. LOL! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Several have mentioned John Carpenter's version of The Thing, and I really like that film. The remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy is really good too.

I was walking across a large field on-campus with a friend when a girl who was coming the opposite direction asked me if I had any money/change. This wasn't a homeless person. I think it was another student. As she asked me this, she reached down possibly with the intention of feeling for change, but she brushed her hand right over my crotch. LOL!

My teenaged daughter is heavily into musical theater. Recently, her company performed Addams Family, which was very good. The theater company she belongs to is pretty big and occasionally split the kids up and do two different shows. They did that this time and the younger ones did Lion King. These are all Broadway versions, and always good. So I spent Saturday evening watching that, striking the set, and then last night was the cast party. It's always a roller skating event and I really enjoy that too. =]

You are the one being imposed upon. I see nothing wrong with another polite visit and a reminder that the issue still exists and you'd really appreciate their help. I get your hesistation after that last experience. Sorry you're having to deal with this.

Do you drive

What ice cream flavor would you be ?

Another tattoo of mine that I love. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies

That's cool. Is it connected to other ink (see something connected to the tail), or are they just place next to each other?
