Irony Melania Trump promotes an anti bullying stance with a "be best" slogan.

LenHazell53 comments on May 10, 2018:

Sir criticism is NOT a synonym for bullying, you are mistaken allow me to demonstrate If you think this you are like as not to find you have spent most of your life with you head up your own backside, and find it out too late to get the shit out of your ears. (That is Bullying serves no purpose other than to ridicule and Ad hominem attack the speaker) The point of criticism is to put a break on runaway ideas, to encourage critical thought, analysis and reassessment, to improve or abandon the bad and improve and clarify the good. (That is criticism to high light the true purpose of words used and dispel false equivalencies ) see the difference?

LenHazell53 comments on May 10, 2018:

Yes one can never be 100% sure of any contention being true or false under all circumstances. For example under laboratory conditions, a group renowned scientist could leave milk and cookies at the base of a chimney in a house where "Nice list" children live every christmas eve for one hundred years, and then measure the resulting consumption and monitoring the following morning. IF in 1% of cases, the cookie is nibbled and the milk sipped, IF on 1% of the cases a jolly fat man with a sack is recorded coming down the chimney and making off with the Blu-ray player, it still does not prove the existence of Santa, (as a mystical being or as a burglar) is proves there are unaccounted variables. Because of such a study I am not going to leap at the one % and start becoming an ardent Santa-ist again hoping to be, one day, a good enough boy to wake up one December 25th with a stocking full of goodies in the fireplace, and I am certainly not going to reinstall a coal fire and chimney for especially this purpose as an act of faith! “You can never be sure 100% that there isn’t a ” is the argument from desperation, the last act of a drowning man clutching at a razor blade. It is the scientific equivalent of the sulking spoiled kid, sticking out a pet lip, stamping a foot and sulking because they can't get their own way.

I can relate.

LenHazell53 comments on May 9, 2018:

-I have a friend; we met at seven years olds, went through school together, faced all kinds of problems and were as close as siblings. We saw each other through our divorces; we were godparents to each other's children. Then after a bad time in her life she joined the born again Christians, within a week they had convinced her that I was the devil, was trying to take her from God and drag her to hell, and that she could never be happy if I were a part of her life and that they were her only friends. I warned her that when the chips were down they would desert her; she called me a liar and a fool. I heard nothing from her for two and a half years, then a little while ago she got in touch, during an operation to remove a cataract from her eye, it was discovered that she had a brain aneurysm. It has been caught early and she should be fine after a minor operation. She went to her church terrified and asked for help, they offered "thoughts and prayers", she asked for support and a lift to hospital they offered "thoughts and prayers", she asked that someone dog sit her pets and come visit her in hospital, every one was busy but "thoughts and prayers". I spent the day with her, comforted her, accompanied her to see her surgeon for reassurance and bought her a coffee. She is fine and ready for the operation at the end of the month. It cost me a couple of hours and the price of a Starbuck's. MY friend is back and is free of those parasites, according to who, god sent me to her in her time of need, but who she must now reject again since I have not taken the "Obvious" call to salvation her illness offered me. Even she was disgusted by this and is seriously listening to why I am an atheist and why she might want to re-evaluate her church.

LenHazell53 comments on May 8, 2018:

I did have an odd experience like this, through a writers group I was involved in I met and communicated with a lady in the USA for a number of years. Because I am partially dyslexic she offered to proof read some of my stories and correct them for me. After a time she began discussing online a number of Issues with erotic scenes in my writing, these discussion became very detailed and deeply explored the nature of erotica. She spent time making suggestions, editing and helping me better understand the way women read romantic and erotic fiction. on night she became flustered and finally she admitted she was using these discussions to pleasure herself. I'll admit that even though I was an unwitting party to it, I was both flattered and embarrassed, to this day I'm not sure if this was cybersex or not.

LenHazell53 comments on May 8, 2018:

It is pretty much a catch all platitude Is god being invoked to bless the continent? Is the speaker simply hoping god will bless the American people, as many say god bless as a salutation? Is it an insistence that a god bless America as opposed to anything else blessing it, the devil for example? Or an instruction to god to bless America as opposed to the UK, France or god forbid Russia? Or is it just the political speakers Amen, so we know they have finished waffling and we should all applaud now like performing seals on steroids? Who can say?

LenHazell53 comments on May 7, 2018:

I've been very happily married since I was in my late twenties, when I turned fifty some many years back I started getting random contacts from old girlfriends and old female school friends who all find themselves now single, asking if I was still married and if so was it a happy marriage, and to let them know if I ever find myself free. Came as an unwanted shock I can tell you. It's weird because as a young man I was always the one who got friend zoned, "I like you but not in that way" and the classic "I would but you're too nice." YuK!. So I am assuming that should anything ever happen to my lovely wife, I won't lack company, but obviously I'm in no rush for that.

LenHazell53 comments on May 6, 2018:

Shlain seems to conveniently forget that reading and writing were not universally available to the majority of people until the latter half of the 19th century, only to the elite, and yet misogyny existed and flourished anyway, and that when literacy flourished it was only then that feminism became popular and fought back. He also seems to not notice that all writing systems are not alphabetically based, some are pictographic, such as in ancient Egypt and eastern Asia and yet the same pattern of male dominance rose up there to, based on simple "might makes right" sociology. To me this seems a very dangerous path aimed at encouraging ignorance, demonising education and blaming feminist woes on "clever dick" (excuse the word play) men, when the very thing they are blaming is actually the fuel that drove the equality engine, literacy!

I'll put this here.

LenHazell53 comments on May 6, 2018:

If Hitler had been a good man he would never have risen to power. To become a dictator by necessity involves traits that are fundamentally not good. Ruthlessness, the ability to instill hate and fear in others, the ability to rabble rouse, the ability to put ones conscience on hold, the ability to lie convincingly, the ability to scapegoat effectively, nationalism disguised as patriotism and the ability to recognise and reward similar traits in others. Had Hitler risen to power and then changed to be a "good" man he would undoubtedly have met with an unfortunate accident or illness and Eichmann (or someone equally ruthless and ambitious) would have replaced him.

Some women use the word as an affectation. It has a troubled and mixed etymological history, but it is generally agreed that a a base level it all relates to having gathered knowledge either by age or study. Most so called witches persecuted at one time or another in history were midwives and herbalist, being put out of business by the churches. Medicine, healing and midwifery was becoming the province of monastic and orders of nuns, and frankly they did not want the competition. Today it seems to be used as a catch all term for practicing new age and neo pagan women.

LenHazell53 comments on May 5, 2018:

There is no such thing as a "Bad" word, word is just a symbol to signify a meaning. Only the intent with which use a word can be negative or positive and even then a word is nothing until heard, interpreted and reacted to. You are always free to ignore or not listen. The meaning and impact of words alters too over time. Uttering Strueth, bugger or blimey would have at one time carried a blasphemey charge, now few people even know what they mean, other than as silly "swear" word replacements

LenHazell53 comments on May 5, 2018:

This has become typical of British society now, the lack of trust in professional people when they do not agree with you is ludicrous. Yes a doctor can make a mistake, which is why any doctor will offer a second opinion from another doctor, however asking a doctor for second opinion from a Priest is an insult. It is like a mechanic telling you you need a new gearbox and you saying no because you aromatherapist has sprinkled lavender oil on the clutch. In a case where every single doctor has told you your child is effectively dead, and is only alive and in pain because of life support, saying no keep them alive and suffering based on nothing but the fact that the person objecting is a parent is an act of cruelty you would be prosecuted for it were a dog and not a child. We have to learn to have trust again in our health professionals with nearly a decade of training behind them and huge amounts of experience, and not doubt everything they say on principle, or on the say so of so called holy men.

All relationships have ups and downs.

LenHazell53 comments on May 5, 2018:

MY first marriage ended badly, when I was in my early twenties after five years. The marriage and relationship was all totally on her terms, I was isolated from everyone, family friends to such an extent, that later, I realised I was subject to cultish brainwashing techniques. Ultimately the relationship collapsed on her terms too, for reason I won't go in to, she found someone better able to provide for her wants. I was left with literally no one and nothing, even my relationship with my immediate family never fully recovered, they saw me as having deserted them, and I felt they abandoned me (my brother I believe even had an affair with my ex behind my back). Afterward it took five years of therapy, new friends and getting my head straight to come to the conclusion that you cannot actually rely on anyone other than yourself, that you have to stay strong in will, protect yourself, be assertive and never submissive. Marriage and a relationship (be it romantic or friendship) is a partnership, if one or the other is constantly trying to get the upper hand, it is not going to work in the long term. Mutual Love is and has to be the basis, it must be based on honesty, trust and determination.

I’m curious about whether and how people set age parameters for potential romantic partners.

LenHazell53 comments on May 5, 2018:

My rule of thumb is that if someone is dating or married to someone young enough to be their child, it is a bit creepy. I don't doubt that their are legitimate and strong relationships built on the so called "May to December" age gap, but I cannot see what they can possibly have in common. Years ago I dated a woman eight years younger than me and it was not a pleasant experience, though we liked one another, she understood none of my terms of reference, nor I hers, our tastes in films, music, culture were vastly different and so were our expectations of one another. I can only imagine a 16+ age difference would be so much worse.

Ur was a Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, who doesn't know that

I say are you English

LenHazell53 comments on May 4, 2018:

UK here and there is no such thing as American English, there is correct English and incorrect English the speakers of which feel they need a geographical euphemistic excuse for their linguistic shortcomings.

My friend and I laugh about how competitive we are. But I laugh a little bit more.

We say the ends justify the means... but if we poison the means, do we not also poison the ends?

LenHazell53 comments on May 4, 2018:

"The ends justify the means" Is an excuse doctrine, enabling pragmatism to be used as an excuse for any and all atrocities. The true problem occurs when the end is genuinely useful and even desirable, such as when a medical breakthrough comes from something like the holocaust. Is the end tainted by the means or can we look upon the end as atoning for the means by which it has been discovered? This I believe is the essence of your question. I feel that such discoveries may well have been found by other means at another time and that knowledge is knowledge regardless of the source, facts are neither good nor evil, the end may not justify the means but in such cases to deny those in need compounds the atrocity. One can admire and mitigate an end while condemning the means by which it was incidentally discovered.

Worship or fight?

LenHazell53 comments on May 3, 2018:

I have no place in life for any higher power that demands worship, makes threats, or imposes its will. It is simple bullying, you never back down to a bully.

I am NOT a sex addict. I just have restless groin syndrome...

Is there any song that when you hear it ALWAYS reminds you of something?

LenHazell53 comments on May 3, 2018:

Yes, there are many, but the song Mississippi by pussycat, holds a place in my heart as the song that was playing the very first time I ever fell in love ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZEPIpTpoPs

Do you think dreams have meanings?

LenHazell53 comments on May 3, 2018:

Yes I do believe dreams have meanings, but hose meanings can vary. Sometimes it is subconscious turmoil attempting to resolve itself, sometimes wish fulfilment fantasy. With me if I have a cold or flu, I have nightmares such as you describe, which I assume is symbolic of the fight between the disease and the anti-bodies of my immune system. Without knowing more about you life and current situation, I would not hazard to guess at an interpretation.

Hmmm...how odd (not really)

LenHazell53 comments on May 3, 2018:

The odd thing is that if you study occult history Demonic Possession meant that you as a sorcerer Possessed (that is had control of) a demon, not that the demon had control of him. King Solomon was supposed to be possessed of many demons and he used them to build the Temple of Solomon with no metal fixings at all. It is not until the New Testament times that the idea of a demon taking over a person and needing to be cast out became popular. Technically this is called obsession not possession.

Should Atheist be tolerant of religion or should it be treated as unacceptable social behavior?

What some one does in their own home of their own free will is none of my business. However when someone tells me what I do in MY own home is their business because I am doing it wrong, and their invisible imaginary friend is going to burn my children forever because of it, then I have a right to get a bit miffed!

What do you think about "helpers", ie auto tuners, and what I "band in a box"?

LenHazell53 comments on May 2, 2018:

I was a purist, using only acoustic guitars and drums when I was young, insisting on "real". Now I figure spend hours and days in a studio arguing, or do it at home with five or six programmes on my computer and get exactly what I want in a matter two or three hours.... sod reality.
