Jolanta replies on Jul 15, 2020:

@Lizard_of_Ahaz From December 1940, Berlin ordered the transfer of clerical prisoners held at other camps, and Dachau became the centre for imprisonment of clergymen. Of a total of 2,720 clerics recorded as imprisoned at Dachau some 2,579 (or 94.88%) were Roman Catholics. Kershaw noted that some 400 German priests were sent to Dachau.

The numbers posted are bogus. The death rate is approximately 1% of THOSE WHO ARE CONFIRMED INFECTED (about 1% of the population). So the death rate will be about 0.01% OF THE POPULATION.

Bidens is not a person who one notices, what does he stand for actually? Does anyone know?

Jolanta replies on Jun 26, 2020:

@Varn And you think he will do it? I think he will reverse some thing Donald has done, however it will only be things that Wall Street agrees to.

Marriage can be wonderful for the right partnership. For many years I had expectations that didn't match reality. So now, a lot wiser, my reality of being unattached fits my expectations just fine. Happy as I am, free to do as I please, nobody to answer to but myself. It's good for this time in ...

Jolanta replies on Jun 25, 2020:

Yes, me too. I cannot imagine ever again living with someone who I have a intimate relationship with.

@mischl Yes, there is a huge so called romantic vision of marriage going on. Far too many fairytales when we were kids.

Racist hatred and religious persecution will probably continue until we have a leader who speaks out against it.

Jolanta replies on Jun 25, 2020:

I don't think even then will it stop. If people are not educated hatred will go on for ever unfortunately.

Yes, I have been married twice and we had some great lovely times, however I have found that I am at the happiest when I am not in a relationship with anyone.

Big parallel except that now it is not the Jewish people that are persecuted, or at least not by the politicians.

Jolanta replies on Jun 21, 2020:

@kmaz So does it mean you don't believe in freedom of speech? I was thinking that a cultural group talks about culture, have I missed something? What is culture? Does politics come into it? Do we only take up things we agree with? Do we not "talk" about everything that it encompasses, good or bad? Do we want to go forward or do we want to stay in the same spot? I ask questions because I want to know, what people think and one cannot do that if one only asks "nice" questions.

Jolanta comments on Jun 16, 2020:

I never knew the Souts were a religious group. I was involved with them here in Australia when my children were small but we never had anything to do with religion, never. No prayers, no mention of God or Jesus. Is this something that is going on in other countries with the scouts?

Jolanta replies on Jun 21, 2020:

@LenHazell53 Yes, maybe the one my children went to they did not bother.

I heard the phrase today "cop-out".

Jolanta comments on Jun 20, 2020:

Yes, there should not be any plea bargaining to a lesser charge or any immunity either.

Jolanta replies on Jun 20, 2020:

@dermot235 There is a clause in their contracts that they are not responsible if they kill anyone. That should be removed immediately.

@OldGoat43 Yes you did vote for an idiot for president, but so did we in Australia. To boot he is an religious idiot who is waiting for the second coming of Jesus.

I question the question. That is way too simple of a question to poise in a forum. @snytiger6 gave the answer with one click. Why does Islam worry you? More than Christianity?

I was a Girl Guide...and my husband was a Boy Scout, and then a Scout Leader. I was always a non believer, even as a child, but never had a problem with saying the Guide promise “To do my best, to do my duty, to god and the Queen”, as it was completely meaningless to me. That, and the once ...

Jolanta replies on Jun 19, 2020:

In Australia there is not one skerric of any religious affiliation to god in the scout movement, or at least none I have noticed. No prayer, no church service.

@kmaz Wow, there, what can I say to all that. Seems like you are very upset. All these things i am projecting onto you have so upset you. How old are you to be so afraid of being projected? I somehow do not think many US citizens are okay with all the money that goes to Israel, especially if they knew the whole truth and I do not think it is good for the Jewish people who do live outside of Israel either. Are you fine with it yourself?

Totally fucked.
