In Israel, religious and secular Jews fight over Sabbath shopping on Saturdays - The Washington Post

Jolanta comments on Dec 6, 2019:

I would like all shops to be closed on Sundays, not on religious grounds just because we need a day off from all that pressure of shopping, and don't tell me you don't have to go. Just imagine how peoples lives would change, they now had to do something else than run of to the mall, like cleaning the house, reading a book, interacting with their family, visiting their friends, etc. Oh yeah and there should not be any TV being transmitted either. 24 hours, no shopping, no TV, no computer transmission. People would be so lost.

Jolanta comments on Nov 27, 2019:

I don't know where you got it from that the Uighur Muslims have committed any terrorist attacks in China. That is not true at all. Chinese authorities are afraid of any large organization. Look how they treat the Falun Gong and they are not religious at all. China uses both Falun Gong and Uighur Muslims as well as other prisoner to harvest organs. it is never ever justified to eliminate anybody just because you are afraid of what may happen.

"Distance doesn't matter in a relationship."

Jolanta comments on Nov 27, 2019:

You seem to be dating men who are not suitable for any relationships. My advice is to stop trying so hard to meet someone. But what do I know perhaps you are not trying hard. Anyway enjoy the things you have in your life and if you are supposed to meet somebody that will fit you and vice versa it will happen all of its own. Long distance is way too hard and men who perhaps don't have the education standards that you want may be much better at most things than the ones who are. Education doesn't mean much if you are selfish with an ego. Most so called educated men only know stuff in their field of education a lot of them are just numbskulls looking for their sock without opening the sock drawer first.

Guilt: the gift that keeps on giving.

Jolanta comments on Nov 26, 2019:

I think you think and feel like you are letting others down by saying no to someone or something. We women have a lot of it. Men don’t. It’s time to change and think and do what is best for you. The first time is the most difficult when we say no but it becomes easier and easier as time goes by. You take good care of yourself girl. This site would not be the same without you. I am sure this situation is not the only one that you feel guilty about. Time to stop it. Think, are you a mean not caring person, no you are not and that is what is true. You cannot be everything for everyone, not even for your child.
