Nice rant. I was already in agreement to this (I try not to burn facts then apply the ash to my eyelids for a perfect smoky eye look like Sarah H S.) Looking outside in, being from a more secular society (I.e. Québec), I have noticed that many laws and regulations in many parts of the US are ...

@Lukian now if I can just convince everyone else...

How to deal with a bitch.

Jnei comments on May 2, 2018:

Isn't there some sort of "bitch spray" that masks the scent that attracts male dogs? I have no idea how effective it is as I've never owned a dog.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

Hahaha. If there is bitch spray, I'm buying a can to keep around for humorous affect.

Its very true and its creating a class of people with no way out of poverty. The worst part is that we will never solve these problems as long as they're seen as personal shortcomings rather than systemic problems.

not near as fun as Christian Tingles though.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@hankster oh lol

Why do women allow these ministers to quote the bible stating that they are inferior to men and that...

McVinegar comments on May 1, 2018:

We should all expect and demand equal treatment under the law. Justice is supposed to be blind. The criminal offender is the one who should be punished. Anyone who would believe a preacher who said, "it's your fault you got abused", is a fool. Stand up for justice. Stand for Womens rights! Stand for...

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

I don't disagree with MOST of what you said. I will disagree with the "fool" part. Its not so easy to throw off a lifetime of training and indoctrination and far too often the cops show up just in time to find the body of the person who was trying to leave. Then they stand around and bitch about why she didn't try to get out sooner. Another thing to keep in mind is the astronomical rates of spousal abuse in the rank and file of the police. How much help do you think an officer who believes wives should submit to their husbands really is? So much weight laid at the door of battered spouses and so much reality ignored when criticising them. I wish people put as much energy into solving problems as they do into judging people caught up in those problems.

Oh look. My life in crosstitch

KKGator comments on May 2, 2018:

Pull a thread and unravel that shit.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@KKGator I meant the "pull the thread and unravel it". I'm having a dark humor day. I'll get over it :)

Do you perceive yourself as a good catch?

ScienceBiker comments on May 2, 2018:

Catch and release? It's the most humane thing to do ?

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

Lol. Good call.

TiberiusGracchus comments on May 2, 2018:

I believe the second outlook you mentioned is largely based on authority. It’s not a coincidence most Christians have Christian parents or live in Christian countries. When people in the States are born again or find god or whatever, it’s usually in the context of the prevailing religious ...

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

Yet I come across that mind set here, where would I wouldn't expect it and also in young children who haven't been strongly indoctrinated. I think it's somewhat natural for at least some folks to think that way. My 8yo does this regularly and I'm desperately trying to teach him the OTHER way of thinking. It's giving me liberal mama palpitations,lol.

So pretty! Great luck catching that bird family. Thanks for sharing, this made me smile.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@phxbillcee yep. My dad had two geese for years who terrorized the neighbors and I've been chased by them. They're no joke!

Guys! I've got some bad news...

Ganaimn comments on May 2, 2018:

Religion is pseudoscience. Worse, even. Infantile.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

What you did there, I see it ;)

Inspired by @btroje I've changed my avatar to show another side of me too.

Lukian comments on May 2, 2018:

Fine ass... but as for the colour coordination... hmmmmmm. (wink) (For a little bit there I was wondering if your avatar or account had been compromised. Even thought of sending a PM)

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@Lukian asking me to colour co-ordinate AND excercise is too much.

Why do women allow these ministers to quote the bible stating that they are inferior to men and that...

stinkeye_a comments on May 1, 2018:

With agency comes responsibility. Some people don't want the latter, so they give up the former.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@stinkeye_a cetainly some cede agency but where do you get the authority or knowledge to decide that it is somehow "voluntary" despite a lifetime of brainwashing? Again I see you offering no facts, no evidence ,simply assertions that because you WANT reality to work a certain way, it must. I understand that the idea that our thoughts, actions and volition are not entirely(arguably mostly not) products of our will but have been shaped for us by circumstance is alarming and abhorent to many. The FACTS, however point to that being the case. Furthermore you see people answering that victims of domestic violence are brainwashed, because.they.are. it is an integral part of the system that makes domestic violence possible. Your irritation with the same answers makes as much sense as being angry that everyone answers "2" when you ask what 1+1 is. By all means believe what you will. Don't ask others to join you in your baseless beliefs and expect to be called out when your lack of understanding makes life unnecessarily difficult for others. Ignorance is ignorance is ignorance and no one will ever learn anything by making baseless assertions and defending them loudly.

The dank bowels of the internet. You know, reddit.

Excluding religion, what are some of the other forms of bullshit that you are growing tired of?

MsDemeanour comments on May 2, 2018:

Karma. In reference to a wicked person 'Karma will get him in the end". Like hell. Don't rely on karma......punch him in the nose

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

Yes. Thank you.

I see people complaining of too many messages and too much attention from people they don’t like.

OpposingOpposum replies on May 2, 2018:

@stinkeye_a "believe" is the operating word there. You are basing your ideas about the world on your own biases and not the facts as they are. Arent we better than that? Is that not the point of being atheist/agnostic, to function according to what IS rather than our irrational wishes and beliefs?

See ya later...

@BettyColeman not in the least. Reptiles have survived far longer thsn mammals. Many of them are nearly perfectly suited to their environment. Fascinating and beautifully adapted creatures.

7 years ago I took two llamas from a huge rescue in Montana that collapsed financially.
