I’m curious about how many women believe they have a one track mind.

Jolanta comments on Mar 12, 2019:

What do you mean with one track mind. Yes women do multi task better than men. Not only do we have to look after the house, the kids, the pets but often the man too, he is a lot of times the biggest baby we have.

Jolanta replies on Mar 12, 2019:

@ToolGuy Perhaps, but it seems to be a lot of that serial tasking to me.

We need youth in politics... The "mature" politicians keep on getting it wrong! Go AOC...

Jolanta replies on Mar 10, 2019:

I don't think that the are getting it wrong, they know perfectly well what they are doing. Nothing of what they are doing is for the greater good of humanity but only for themselves.

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

mordant comments on Mar 10, 2019:

Taken literally, your statement equates winning with being wrong. I would say one has to let go of one's need to be right, or proven right, or accepted as right, as a poor use of limited time and energy. But it's damned important to have integrity and standards that actually guide you. I fear the...

Jolanta replies on Mar 10, 2019:

You know it can sometimes be like white lies. Do we want and need to hurt someone or not.

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

THHA comments on Mar 9, 2019:

I don't mind being wrong, because that is usually when I learn something new. If you think you are never wrong, you do not learn much, and likely it is just pig headedness.

Jolanta replies on Mar 10, 2019:

@misterinvisible I can see pigheadedness in its full force there, he, he.

Boy Who Wasn't Immunized For Tetanus Spent 57 Days In Oregon Hospital : NPR

Jolanta comments on Mar 9, 2019:

Very sad indeed. I don't know where I stand on vaccination, although I am for it but not totally convinced that it doesn't do harm to some, but how to know which ones so it is better to get vaccinated.

Jolanta replies on Mar 9, 2019:

@Petter You know what perhaps it is a new thing that they test them out on the skin first, because when my children where vaccinated that did not happen.

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

dare2dream comments on Mar 9, 2019:

People who do right never win?

Jolanta replies on Mar 9, 2019:

Sometimes they don't. You know the saying don't cut your nose of to spite your face.

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

maturin1919 comments on Mar 9, 2019:

I often win by being right. I don't understand how or why the two would be mutually exclusive.

Jolanta replies on Mar 9, 2019:

Well there are laws in every country, those laws are not necessary "right or moral", if you want to be right or do you want to win/

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

t1nick comments on Mar 9, 2019:

It depends how much of my ethics and morals I have to abandon to be a winner. Winning without ethics and morals is a foul repast. Its hard to get that bad tasste out of your mouth.

Jolanta replies on Mar 9, 2019:

It is but there are situations when we are just pigheaded, no matter what.

Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.

Yes, the pigheadness is a difficult one to get over.

Add deceit and fear mongering, and the list is complete.

People get away without punishment for their crimes sometimes(e.g. O.J. Simpson). The majority of people are white (in the US). majority of people getting away with things are white based on statistics. Theres no evidence that it's based on color. It's a "money/who you know get out jail pass" not...

Jolanta replies on Mar 8, 2019:

What! You are contradicting yourself when you say majority of people in the US are white, majority of people in the US are getting away with things based on statistics. So what colour are the people who do not get away with things then if not coloured?

How true is this? I think it's spot on.... Ugh...

Jolanta comments on Mar 7, 2019:

What a lot of rot. You are carrying on about Russia interfering but not worrying that the US has always and is interfering in politics of other countries. Be more worried about that Donald revoked laws about dumping toxic waste into your waterways. That is more important. Be more worried that ...

@gater Repairing you should think about that next time you come upon a pot hole. How can he possible be repairing if he revoked laws about dumping of toxic waste into water ways. Please explain that and don't tell me it is not so, because that is not true. And how about the Dakota pipe line that is leaking? How about Flint, has he done anything to 'repair" the water for them? Not one iota.

Just like you, unless you are a native Indian, you to come from somewhere else and should not ask someone in a derogatory way if they belong or not.

@gater I am living in Australia and yes it did start as a criminal colony, but it was not only criminals who came here. Why do I care about American politics, well I care about people around the world and another thing is that all the world is affected what is happening in the US, after all the US has invaded more than 20 countries since the second world war, so yes it does affect us and others.

It's not our differences that are th problem, it's our inability to accept and celebrate them.
