Robecology comments on Jan 1, 2019:

Sorry for those fellow conservatives who suffer the "name calling, banning, & accusations!' We should all commit to being more positive. Let's debate with the basic rules...no name calling. No hostility. May I suggest that we offer links - or facts, or data - to back up our strategies. Let's be conservative because we want to have progress that's been throughly studied and reviewed; let's not go to conservatism that's "reactionary" to progress. The world is growing, and changing. We conservatives want to make sure those changes benefit all of us - from the poorest to the wealthiest.

What is it about a woman's boobs that men (and some women) find so attractive?

Robecology comments on Jan 1, 2019:

Let's be honest. An average shape is attractive, a full-bodied woman is more attractive. Fuller-breasted women seem to be more out-going. More joyous. More zealous. Not to say the average sized woman isn't - would love to be proven wrong....and have been many times...just putting it out there. I think an average sized woman who gets a breast enhancement operation sees more men, is attracted by more men, and is pampered by more men. Call it "biology" or in our genes...I don't think it's a learned behavior (although I was nursed by a full-breasted mom....hmmmm) I see future generations of women with larger breasts...I honestly think we're not only gaining height over the generations, the women are gaining in breast size.

Robecology comments on Jun 19, 2018:

...dealing with it is all we can do - but if you complain about it and fight against it, you change it. Saying to just "deal with it" is a defeatist-loser-pre-suicide attitude. Saying "I can do something to fix it" is what winners, leaders, and champions do.

Robecology comments on Jun 18, 2018:

I suggest you read "Population Density and Social Pathology" a short article written many years ago ('62) by John B. Calhoun. He basically proved, using rats in moveable-wall cages, that being crowded is the one factor that explains a lot of social ills. He gave his rats food and water, kept them clean/sanitary; he just moved the walls closer together on certain populations. He noticed child abuse, abandonment, abnormal and reduced sexual behavior, gangs, hoarding (greed) ....all the social ills we suffer today. China had it right with their one-child policy; they just went about it wrong. If we don't get our population growth (150+ more births than deaths, per minute world-wide) we're doomed. http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock/

What If You Were Never Born.....

Robecology comments on Jun 18, 2018:

Richard Dawkins says it best; Basically; we're extraordinarily lucky to have been born. If anything is an unexplained miracle, its the fact that we're alive for short time, as a human being....considering the 200 million sperm our father had, and the hundreds of eggs our mom had - the odds of us being alive are incredulous. Be thankful...to no-one in particular. If you're #Religulous then being in this body is "a short visit to heaven"....so thank god...whoever she is.... http://commonsenseatheism.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dawkins-quote.png

Robecology comments on Jun 18, 2018:

To "get behind" this fellow takes much more than you're asking; and I reply to this as a classic, non-racist, non-religious but politically conservative person... 1. For him to be so pseudo-religious is a smack in the face to all atheist-agnostics. 2. There's a fine line between love, hate and indifference. We who are in relationships love our partner. We getting out of relationships often "hate" our ex-partner...but we strive for the day when they'll become "indifferent" to us...when we just don't care. You don't "hate" someone unless they've offended you, lied to you, or turned their back on you; in fact those who you hate often started out being loved; or they professed their love for you - we rarely "hate" the stranger who's done nothing to us. So right now, it's hard to "get behind" someone who's been such a consistent liar to us. And please don't try to defend his lies; they've been easily documented; check this if you like. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

Here's Obama on the logic of gun control - just 2 years ago, this month (June)...basically; he doesn't "want our guns", he just wants to register them, require training for them, suggests insurance for them -both for their loss/theft, and their victims (both accidental and intentional)....sort of like we have now, with cars.

Musty smelling books. Any advice?

Robecology comments on Jun 6, 2018:

It will take time and patience; a face mask (to avoid breathing all the mold spores) and a bunch or old but clean cloths (old towels best). A spray bottle with just a few tablespoons of bleach, mostly water will work well to not only renew the books, but stop the molds and fungi (my girlfriends called me that...a fun -gi....get it? ) but the labor depends on your love of the books, the time you have, and the value of the books.

Recently a friend told me a joke about a couple arriving in Heaven and receiving a tour.

Robecology comments on May 29, 2018:

I'm agnostic; and Richard Dawkins said it well as a response to this... “We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

Here you go trolls.

Dangerous, indeed. We are a "growing" nation; our obesity rate is climbling rapidly; our national health level is declining, mainly due to the poor self discipline of those who chose to overeat and not exercise enough. Beware the danger. Buy the ice-creams on sale; just spread out the pleasure over time....or you will shorten your life and suffer greatly as you get older. Google Obesity MAP CDC...a shocking map of how fast we've become obese - as a nation!

Robecology comments on Apr 17, 2018:

@DavidThinks; If you don't see they wrong-doing of our president and the way he has been documented as having clearly used and abused many women often, then you can't call yourself a Conservative. Google "Trump raped 13 year old" to see that this man is unfit, morally, to be our president. Here's the link (not sure if Agnostic.com will let it be viewed....so google it for yourself). https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/

The Hannity issue. So lets assume he did use Cohen as his lawyer what is the issue here?

Robecology comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Think about why you don't like Hannity...it probably has something to do with his obvious dishonesty, racism, and sexism. This connection to Cohen proves he's been unethical and unprofessional as a TV news commentator. He's losing advertisers even now because this has crossed the line. I strongly support a Conservative government; but people like Hannity, Paul Ryan, and Trump are giving conservative strategies a very bad name.

Is it hypocritical for me, as an atheist, to celebrate religious holidays?

Robecology comments on Apr 17, 2018:

There's a lot of goodness, warmth and comfort that comes from sharing Religious holidays with family. You don't have to proclaim your stance as Agnostic/atheist to be one; and the traditions of Religion are very friendly, warm, and peace-loving....so by all means....enjoy them, share them. If religious family members challenge you with a debate, keep it friendly - and they might grow out of their religious "dependence" thanks to you! If they challenge you in a hostile way, give your apologies and smile; they aren't at your level - yet.

Robecology comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Religion was important to developing cultures. It gave people a hope, a reason to carry on, a reason to live. It was a social tool; you met your future spouse in church; you socialized and made friends at church/synagogue/mosque gatherings. But then Religion got carried away. Territorial. Elitist. The crusades was the beginning of forced spread of religion; missions to America to convert the "natives" was another well-meaning but mis-guided attempt to spread "the word" while killing those who didn't want to follow it. Now, in the age of science and reason - that seems to have faded away. Religion - or let me call those who follow religion - the Religulous - have lost the value of their religion. They use it to proclaim the need for unplanned families - and thus fight planned families and the consequences of unplanned pregnancies. The remnants of primitive religions; the Muslims and Buddhists mean well; but the Muslims, in particular, have adopted that angry "my way or the highway" approach that Christianity used to have....so ISIS and AlQaida evolved. I miss the socializing that went on; but I don't miss the false hopes and "prayers" that are a lame excuse for sort of caring. If you care about a person or group's well being you act; you donate, you go help them; you don't "pray" for them. "thoughts and Prayers" is now a veiled insult, to me. But I've found social groups; Irish American clubs, garden clubs, etc. can, and do, allow socializing without the pretext of worshipping imagined gods.
