Moravian comments on Feb 13, 2019:

I recently attended the funeral of my late sister in law. I new nothing of her upbringing apart from the fact that she was born and raised in Ireland. It was a humanist funeral and the celebrant said in her eulogy that the poor girl had attended a Roman Catholic convent school and the nuns had treated her so badly that it had put her off religion for life. So the nuns do serve a useful purpose after all.

Interesting. McAllen averages around 6 murders per 100,000 citizens. Glasgow,considered one of the 10 most dangerous cities in Europe had a murder rate of 2.7 per 100,000 in 2017.so if it is the safest town around I wouldn't care to live in the others.

Moravian comments on Feb 10, 2019:

Is it maybe that people in South East Asia have been conditioned to think this because of the behaviour of the many European sex tourists visiting your shores. My partner and I were talking to an English guy in our local pub and he mentioned that he spent some time in Thailand each year. My partner mentioned that her son is married to a Thai girl back in the USA. He looked at her and said "What, he married one of them" Sound of jaws hitting th floor and hurried exit from his company.

Two redneck hillbillies were in a restuarant when a woman at the next table started to choke on her food. One of the rednecks immediately grabbed her pulled down her pants and licked her bare backside. She got such a shock that she gasped and the food shot out of her mouth and she recovered. Second redneck to first "thats the first time I have seen the hind lick maneouvre done."

I remember once when I was young and daft, having a bit of repartee with a rather large girl. She came out with the" you couldn't afford me" comment and I replied with "yes beef is expensive these days." I can't remember much after that and my face hurt next day.

Why So Many Smart People Aren’t Happy - The Atlantic - Pocket

Moravian comments on Feb 5, 2019:

Intelligence and "smartness" are probably different. It has recently been ascertained that a baby gets it's intelligence from their mother. I'm sure we all had super intelligent mothers. I'm not sure that it is being smart that is likely to make one unhappy, it's probably that many of the people who are both smart and successful to an extent get caught on the materialism treadmill. They are never happy with what they have and are always striving for more.

It was more likely caused by lower solar output,there were two episodes of lower sunspot activity during this period, and volcanic activity.
