What does everybody here think about the importance of chemistry to a relationship ?
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
Chemistry or "spark" is important...but too often it's something subtle - even subconscious - that triggers - or doesn't trigger - this spark. That's why several dates and "taking it slowly" is important. Habits - good and bad - need to come out. The tolerance for habits needs to be tested. This takes time to make a relationship work.
I know who this is, do you?

One of the very first "pioneers" of wildlife tales and adventures - Marlon Perkins. As a result of his work on Zoo Parade Perkins was offered the job in 1963 for which most North Americans remember him: host of the nature show Wild Kingdom. The fame he gained in his television career allowed him to become an advocate for the protection of endangered species, and through Wild Kingdom he gave many Americans their first exposure to the conservation movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlin_Perkins And, yes....I'm 73 years "young".
Does being Buddhist make one an atheist?
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
It's a good question; only because Buddhism doesn't believe in anything mythical happening to the founder, Buddha...Although the stories of his life are filled with alleged mythology, there's nothing about him dying and being 'reborn' or being born of a virgin. One of its principles, however, will make you "religious" for following it...and atheist for not following. ** The concept of believing in "re-birth" or coming back to life in different forms. ** This has no foundation in reality. No evidence. No support. Not one scientific hint of reality. Hence; *if you follow any of their teachings...you are technically "theist"..*.. Buddhism (/ˈbʊdɪzəm/ is the world's fourth-largest religion with over 520 million followers, or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists. Buddhism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and resulting interpreted philosophies. Buddhism originated in ancient India as a Sramana tradition sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, spreading through much of Asia. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recognized by scholars: Theravada (Pali: "The School of the Elders") and Mahayana (Sanskrit: "The Great Vehicle"). A note about BCE; BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) mean the same thing- previous to year 1 CE (Common Era). This is the same as the year AD 1 Most Buddhist traditions share the goal of overcoming suffering and the ***cycle of death and rebirth***, either by the attainment of Nirvana or through the path of Buddhahood. Buddhist schools vary in their interpretation of the path to liberation, the relative importance and canonicity assigned to the various Buddhist texts, and their specific teachings and practices. This doesn't mean an Atheist can't be "buddhist-like". It's a practice of calming and meditation. It embraces science and wisdom - it doesn't shun it. Perhaps some day there will be a group that practices Buddhism without the belief that you'll die and are reborn. Perhaps some day some scientist(s) will provide evidence that our atoms and molecules can all assemble 100% and form the being of another plant or animal. Odds are good that this might happen... but not good that it can ever be proven.

Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
Forget the child rapists. The church has always welcomed male dominance in a relationship...not just against the kids. When women marry, their traditional vows are to "obey" - remember? The church (and for that matter, all the religions of the world) expect male dominance. The men - according to any #religulous - are the family planners. The women "offer" themselves "when the men are ready"....so they've basically fostered rape in relationships; couples have sex when HE's ready....not her. Is it no wonder that the abortion issue is rearing its' ugly head in Republican dominated states?
Ha ha ha. Not even a question.
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
Uh....let's reverse that offer; would I take it if I had to publicly accept Jesus and go to church every Sunday... No. Can I get offers to pay me to take it if I do that?

Love Rachel. She's sent staff and crew out to Missouri to get the scoop. She's been reporting on this issue nightly.
How can this lady continue to harass me, if she blocked me?
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
There's 3 strategies for handling folk who don't debate well. 1. Ignoring. 2. Blocking 3. Reporting. If they've blocked you...you can reply with a top-level, fact-filled, link-backed debate...or - if you can't reply to her... ...just continue to ignore. Have you considered why she's "harassing" you yet blocked you? ....it could be a love/hate thing. If you can go to their page, then On the right, about half-way down, is "report/block" Do so.
Ya. That'll work.

Gay sex is wayyyyyy overplayed. (and no...I'm not gay and never was...but have had gay friends and family) I've asked several gay couples how they "enjoyed" it...they concurred.. it worked once, failed/was uncomfortable too often... so they just snuggle. They love each-other....and the "horrible" stories about gay sex are just not there. We've seen many "gay couples" - we just never knew they were "gay".... We need to be far more tolerant of same-sex couples. Thanks, @altschmerz for this tongue-in-cheek post!

How do you define love?
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
It's different from "like". It takes more time to develop. it might be stronger than liking Its' opposite is hate....the end of love is indifference....not hate. Hate is when you've been let down by the alleged love/lover. Indifference also takes more time to develop than hate.
Does anyone else hate the phrase "I love you" ?

Spirituality in Film & Literature
Robecology comments on Jun 8, 2019:
The CBS TV series "God friended me" caught my eye because it came right after 20-20. Having watched a few chapters....I like the concept. The story line goes something like " a computer wizard "tags" an atheist/agnostic vocal podcast producer with folk who, at first, he doesn't see why someone named "god" on the internet/facebook would single this "tag" out as a "friend suggestion". But the podcaster seeks the person out...finds out how he's "connected" to the person....does something to "help" that person, and then the show ends...but not before a new "friend suggestion" pops up at the end of an episode. After several episodes, we see the podcaster re-connects with his father ( a very good and seasoned actor who plays a minister in a local church) a smart cutie (for the romance/eye-candy aspect/hook), an asian/middle-eastern computer wizard, and eventually the Computer wizard" who's playing "god" and proposing these weird "friend suggestions". Cute story. Not a bit #religulous but they don't ever "assume" the supernatural elements are either true nor "correct"...but they do point out that they are benevolent (almost beyond belief)

Robecology comments on Jun 7, 2019:
I don't want to call it a "dark age"... I'm feeling that these last pushes toward conservatism, toward resisting women's equality, towards racism is just that...last pushes from the "cornered rats" who feel desperate that their way of life is no longer "the ideal" What's ideal? -I'm afraid to use the term; but in a word...."Globalism". That would be... -all of us speaking one language. -no borders -one economy -stabilized growth...in fact....no growth, the new word will be sustainability. -A population that's reached ZPG. -Little or no "religion". Charity still working - but not because an imaginary power demands it. -Most, if not all "diseases" cured. Anti-aging chemicals and genetic procedures allow us to stay fit and healthy decades longer. -No burning of fuels for energy. Not coal, not fossil fuels. Not hydrogen, not wood, not cow chips. -No need for "combustion"...except for entertainment. -We would even phase out nuclear. Geothermal's already in place in Iceland, for example; so I'm not talking about putting wind-generators or tidal-flow gens there unless they see that the transition would save them from tapping in to the potentially unstable source of geothermal in to the stable sources of wind and tide flow. When will we reach it? I'm guessing in anywhere from a few decades to 100+ years. We are getting close.

Good morning and happy Friday! Today's question: Do you think aliens are real?
Robecology comments on Jun 7, 2019:
I've talked about this many times. In a few words; Yes they're real; but no; we'll not likely talk to them, let alone meet them, any time soon. I'm sure that there's hundreds of millions, if not billions of habitable planets, a few million of which have evolved life, a few thousand of which have evolved advanced civilization, a few hundred of which...even in our galaxy, have evolved radio communication and interplanetary travel Now, Let's look at the odds of us even talking with them. Assume we've spent 100 years sending out Radio and TV signals. So right now, a civilization of aliens, say, up to 100 Light years (LY) away from us just got the signal and translated it to something they comprehend. Within 100 LY of us is 500 stars. Let's apply the 1 in 10 rule. Of the 500 1 in 10 have habitable planets. That's 50 of the 50, 1 in 10 are likely to have developed advanced life forms; that's 5. Of the 5, 1 in 10 have developed radio communications; that's now down to 0.5 star systems; within 100 LY...that are likely to have picked up an old radio or TV broadcast, and translated it. Do you see where I'm going with this? Watch; then comment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRoj3jK37Vc

I'm sorry; but I must disagree. If the Congress starts closing in on DJT he'll just resign. He'll hand the reigns over to Pence; like Nixon did to Ford. That will throw us from the frying pan into the fire; because Pence will then pardon DJT. Pence is Trump's worshiper. His "do-boy". He'll simply pardon DJT....which would then make him eligible for retirement benefits....which would then allow him to go do his leisure thing whie we pay for it.... AND Pence would do his bidding... .AND the cabinet wouldn't change a thing. No. No impeachment. DJT wants that push so he can blame the congressmen and women on him quitting. Then if Pence pardons him....he would be eligible to run again in 2020 and perhaps even 2024. No!! Stop pushing impeachment! Play a little chess. Make a few mental moves ahead of him. That would be disaster for us. The only solution is to keep a tight rein on him...then vote him thoroughly and convincingly out in 2020. Beware. The Trump voter will be out in droves. They are blind to his misgivings. They will flood the polling booths in 2020. This is our best hope - to get out and vote him out in 2020.

Good poetry. There's poetry groups here within A.com....you might consider posting there. Here's a similar view on Love and Pain...with a more optimistic ending...by Sting; Brand New Day Sting How many of you people out there been hurt in some kind of love affair? And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again? How many lonely, sleepless nights? How many lies, how many fights? Well, why would you want to put yourself through all that again? "Love is pain, " I hear you say Love has a cruel and bitter way Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain! How could it be that what you need the most... Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again! One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey?

What are some reasons you are afraid to commit?
Robecology comments on Jun 6, 2019:
There's a whole spectrum of folk out there from those Ready/willing/able to commit to those who are fed-up/done/finished with relationships. Some have kids. Some don't. Some are ready to start a family. Some have grown kids. That's why internet dating is useful. It lets you narrow it down - range (how far will you/they travel), age, height, religious-ness...etc. Know your limits...

Folks. Did you ever have a mechanic, or someone who "knows your car"....suggest that you get something fixed/replaced soon....or you could find yourself stranded? Many of us have taken this a variety of ways. We've ignored them. and nothing happened. We've ignored them..and discovered they were right. We trusted them. Plunked down money....and still ran in to trouble. OR...We trusted them...plunked down the money...and never looked back. Situation solved. Well that's where we're at with these dire warnings. Elon Musk; Scientist, genius, billionaire, CEO of Tesla, SolarCity, SpaceX, and the Boring company... calls it the "dumbest experiment ever"....watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM

I lost a young wife in '77. I was 32, she was 29. So it does take years to move on. Tip; try to change your behavior when any bad memories come back. Smile and recall the good times. Banish the thoughts of bad times. Ken Keyes suggested..."hold on tightly....let go lightly"....

By "Dick" I'm guessing they're implying being a dumb male? How about being a "Cunt" I'm guessing that "Cunt" implies being a dumb female? Better yet; how about we drop the sexist connotations? I hate both of them. They're wrong.

Ken Keyes Jr. (now deceased) was my go-to guide for relationships. He inspired me - and I've now known his works for close to 50 years. He's the one that I've often quoted here (Hold on tightly, let go lightly and many other gems of relationshp wisdom)...so order one of his many books....here's a good one...my all time favorite (I'm on my third? Fourth? copy) is "Handbook to Higher Consciousness" https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41M9QQ7THPL._SX298_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

I'm so sorry he feels compelled to talk so quickly. His accent makes it hard for me to follow...I have to stop and replay the video several times. Otherwise a very thorough presentation...worthy of a doctoral thesis....but definitely talking over my head - or at least, too fast.

Robecology comments on Jun 5, 2019:
If "I'm wrong" and I've lived a life NOT devoted to god, Why would I not go to heaven? Even a promise of "hell" for "unbelievers" implies a life after death. What if they're wrong....and there's just "nothing"? Then all that worshiping, paying tithes, time and money to support the #religulous will have been a waste. ....and don't give me that "god is watching" thing. Hitler conscientiously worked to kill millions. Do you think because he said "I believe" and "forgive me father" that he got in to heaven and the Jews he exterminated didn't? Oh...and in the words of Penn Jillette; What's to keep an atheist from killing, robbing, and murdering? Nothing. That's why an Atheist is more morally upright than a #religulous person; We do good because it feels good. It feels right. The #Religulous only do good because "god tells them to". http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2310350220?profile=original

Robecology comments on Jun 5, 2019:
If you call names instead of debating facts, you are #1. violating community standards. and #2. Not debating - you're arguing. Ask any debate coach. Google "debate rules". Once you name call you've - -admitted defeat -lose the debate -get no points...or if in a debate class, get an F. The rules are simple; -debate the issues. -don't make this personal. We're all here for the common good. As a fiscal conservative that also wants to see success in our government, accomplishment (MAGA) and efforts to reduce our deficii - yet not a believer in God....I think we're all on the same page. Teach me with references - don't degrade me with rudeness. I recommend you read this image; and perhaps save it, or at least tab it. You want to make your points as close to the top of the pyramid as possible.

Robecology comments on Jun 5, 2019:
Good point about Aldi....it being a relatively new name to a great market...I hadn't a clue if the possessive S should be added or left off....so thanks for that. So let's define "peeve"...is it anger showing intolerance? Should we not have "peeves" to have a healthier mentality? I might have been guilty of misusing the Aldi's or Aldis "s" addition simply because I hadn't learned the wiser use. Perhaps there are those who comment that are simply not as wise as we are? Should we be "peeved" at their grammar faux-pas or should we politely try to educate them? As a 45 year teacher veteran....this is constantly a challenge for me! Let me sit on my hands, as well!

Can a potential romantic relationship move too slow?
Robecology comments on Jun 5, 2019:
The "waiting" game. Someone's playing it more than the other. "Waiting" to see if loneliness prompts initiating contact. It could be said that it's a wise game...or just a game...or a game for "players"....but it can be frustrating. Who's going to be more "upfront"? More "honest" ? More "forthright"? Who's going to look at being more "upfront" as too aggressive, too assertive, too anxious....and who's going to look at being "upfront" aa having healthy, strong feelings? Ugh...Games people play...it's the reason many are happily alone.
Is this appropriate for a first date?
Robecology comments on Jun 5, 2019:
We completely know her intentions...
Wow.
Robecology comments on Jun 4, 2019:
Three ways to respond to a personal "attack" !. Take them seriously and work to correct the issue in a positive way 2. Take them seriously and be offended and confused, feeling helpless and hopeless. 3. Don't take them seriously. They don't really know you ...and/or their opinions don't matter. Chose 1 and 3 as often as you can. Try to avoid reaction #2.
