Interesting.

I think honesty is a virtue.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 12, 2018:

What would you expect from a religion that forgives its followers for anything under the sun aside from blasphemy? If they lie, they just pray for forgiveness from their imaginary creator and everything is okay.

Why do so many people on here, especially the self-described atheists, spend so much time discussing...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 12, 2018:

You wouldn't be alone on that thought, over the last few days I've noticed a few others commenting about that, and most of them were met with rather degrading comments that of which they did not deserve. I'm starting to wonder myself now? For the most part though, I just ignore or block the users who say anything hostile.

Who is your classical atheist author? Voltaire, D'Holbach, Hume?

Are you following people and what do you get out of it?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

The following part is not something I bother with a whole lot, but I agree with its premise, and understand how some community members here would like to be informed when a particular member does a new post. It's only a creepy thing if you let it be, and I've observed that even most of the trending profiles on this platform do not have loads of follows. I have over 330 followers and counting on another app I had used, and they follow me because they know the topics I post about and look forward to new posts, it doesn't bother me. I don't have near as many on this app, but am grateful for those who are interested in my posts and choose to follow me. If you give it time, you may discover you have more common ground with others than initially thought.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

Even as a kid I preferred to say happy holidays as it covered all the holidays around that time of year without having to mention every single one. I enjoy using the term even more in recent times, just to see if it irritates any paranoid delusional cranks;)

I saw "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" tonight and highly recommend it.

Coming out of the Religious Closet

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I make it well known that I do not discuss politics or religion when out in society, and to please talk about something more interesting or important. Besides, I firmly think that when anyone I'm around talks about either of those two topics often, I know I'm not dealing with someone who's serious.

I confess.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

Not exactly an image hoarder, but I've got some interesting photos stored on my desktop. I'm fond of sunset photos, and swimming pools/bodies of water at sunset or night, really tranquil to look at and calms my nerves down.

Where do you like to explore?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

As a city boy myself, never was that interested in the country or small towns etc. I love NYC, but haven't had the chance to go their in years now. The other place I enjoyed frequenting was Atlantic City NJ, and hitting the casinos there. Just about every sort of vice one could imagine could be found in AC NJ, which is why I enjoy myself there. That's certainly cool though if you enjoy visiting lesser known or forgotten places, that's different. I know someone who used to like visiting abandoned homes, and once he stumbled across an abandoned hospital.

Is it only on iPhones that this app doesn't spellcheck?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

Cannot determine such, and I hate spellcheck, certainly a feature I could do without. I did notice however sometimes while using the Android app it automatically replaces letters, and oddly enough misspells words that I did spell correctly, which can get annoying.

Getting over someone

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I know parting ways with someone you harbored strong feelings for can be difficult, but it is rewarding to move forward with your life and get active in the dating scene again. In the meantime, involving yourself in hobbies and interests would also take your mind off of things.

I've dealt with stalkers in the past, however said stalkings were not related to any love interest.

I was just wondering who here is an introvert and how you deal with it?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I tend to be introverted, as I don't usually start conversations. It's been easy for me to deal with it, and I gladly would chat with anyone kind enough to say something to me.

What is your experience, if any, with these symptoms or conditions and medications.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 11, 2018:

As a kid, I exhibited similar symptoms at times, and at one point the public school system thought I was troubled enough to suggest I be on medications. Thankfully that never happened, I had parents who fought for me, and to this day many years later I am not on any kind of medication(s). I think most people deal with concentration issues from time to time, and it's not a big deal, so I am inclined to believe what was mentioned in that article. It is a possible scenario that all parents should deeply consider, but these days denying your kids medications/healthcare could be perceived as child neglect and thus subjecting the parents to deal with government officials getting involved in their business, as bogus as that is. Thank you for sharing, excellent article.

Well, when I get a better photo I'll post that, but I said I would, so be warned!!!

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Never used Facebook and never will. Truth be said, I'm not into social media much. If you're looking for a decent platform to post photos videos etc on, I would recommend Minds.com, it's a decent site for bloggers and activists. As for this app...I've been on here for almost 10 days now and it's okay. While I met some interesting folks on here, I've also crossed paths with some real close-minded bigots who would be quick to blame the other side of doing such, which leaves me wondering how long I'll be sticking around on here? Anyway, hope that suggestion helped some, take care.

Whenever a viewpoint comes up that the particular individual does not favor, right away the other side is wrong, and on and on it goes...
