MsDemeanour comments on Aug 8, 2019:

We weren't going to have children when we married. We were going to have a fun and selfish life without contributing to overpopulation. However, inadvertently and shockingly I found myself pregnant. Seeing the ultrasound at 12 wks I was blown away. I thought then and there I would never have an abortion. I guess I had a 'spiritual' experience.....or at least, I was greatly moved. I would never ever impose my beliefs on others and I stand for the rights of other women to choose. In fact I look around and wish half the population had been aborted. But not mine! never mine! lol. We went on to have three more babies.

Sounds about right.

It's been my experience that men often have a problem with this . Please correct my sexist generalisation if you like. But the men in my life have all wanted to spring into 'problem solving' mode. They've assumed that I've offloaded so they can 'fix' things for me. But sometimes there is no fixing or I already know myself what I must do. I just need a hug and someone to say "I'm here for you". Girl friends have immediately 'got' this. My husband, I had to explain that I just wanted empathy and sympathy. He got it when I explained.

Both are widowed and both very active and independent. They live two streets away from each other and dad goes up for dinner every night and they spend most of their time together. Only they could NEVER live together because they fight. Sometimes she tells him to GO HOME! I find this amusing because my parents never fought. I swear all this passionate arguing keeps them alive.

Look at the Japanese........They adore xmas, tho most are atheist. It is a time where family and friends get together and appreciate what they have. Tell your children it was based on a hippy who talked of the importance of peace and love & to be non-judgmental and that these things are more important than material gain. Merry Xmas my friend :D

Atheist reaches settlement over religious objection to mandatory AA - BBC News

MsDemeanour comments on Dec 22, 2019:

There is conflicting success rates around the success of AA due to lack of experimental research. Most studies rely on subjective participant surveys or observations. Pretty hard to have a control group, and two different recovery methods when anonymity must be preserved. The only participants I can see stepping forward are the highly motivated, who could've found recovery anywhere. This has nothing to do with your post of course. I am glad the young Canadian won his battle. It was never going to help him while the basic ideology is flawed

The nervous Nelly's who jumped at the sound and got away or armed themselves, survived. We are descended from those nervous Nelly's. Anxiety isn't here for us to ruminate on. We have anxiety to prepare and act. Be grateful you have it.

Values that we base our laws on are so subjective. If I had my way every boring plain wall would be covered in beautiful graffiti. That wouldn't suit others. I would still argue with my neighbour about his loud country music. But at heart, I am a socialist and so of course I would embrace those ideals. Religions are dangerous and exploitative and divisive. I see no good coming from them at all.

MsDemeanour comments on Jan 12, 2020:

I was wondering how people would respond to this topic because free speech is tempered with political correctness and the good humanists we are, we wouldn't want to to offend anyone. From what I have read, if reassignment occurs before puberty ie, hormones stop biological males from growing tall, having wider shoulders etc. They would then be able to compete against females without an unfair advantage. I'm not sure what I think about allowing kids to decide what sex they choose to be. It is a serious operation and one hell of a decision for a 9yr old to have to make. Some trans have come to regret the decision later and opted to transition back. if I have a son who loves dressing in women's clothes, he might well grow to be a happy husband and father who happens to enjoy cross-dressing. Imagine if I'd pressured him into becoming a female when he was a child. Likewise, many lesbians describe tomboy childhoods where they shunned dolls and wrestled with the boys. They grew up to be lesbians but are still happy being female.

MsDemeanour comments on Jan 30, 2020:

I prefer the Leonard Cohen (which is the first I ever heard) because I never interpreted the word Hallelujah as religious. It was pain, it was precious love, it was ecstacy, it was sarcasm. I found the song incredibly earthy and far from ethereal. This is probably why I disliked Jeff buckley's version with his change of verses. But even he said Hallelujah was a reference to oragasm. I like the John Cale version too. Now I will sit back and listen to this version.
