What are your thoughts on banned books?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Banning books is a horrible idea and solves absolutely nothing.

What's better: tacos or pizza?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Pizza, for sure.

Being single

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

After going a stretch of years being attached, I'm content for the time being to be single.

[google.com]. I feel, very strongly that everyone who says "not all men" need to read this.

I am an atheistic Satanist, meaning I don't believe in god or the devil, but rather identify with ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Sounds good. I don't believe in any of that garbage either, but I still almost always get identified as an "atheist devil worshipper" by looney christians regardless of saying so. I at times wonder what the point is?

Ever explored a dark web marketplace?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Yes, but not a topic I'd go into great detail, not on this platform anyway.

How many members do we have?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Over 30,000 sounds very promising...I just wonder if they are all genuine accounts though?

What qualities must an individual possess to be considered mature?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

A brain that critically thinks.

Anyone else go on to this or any other social media outlet and just feel really old?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I'm in my thirties, and at times I feel out of the loop as well. I do use another app similar to this one, but tend to shy away from most social media platforms.

It's ok to be emotional.

The consumer-mindsets of the socially-constructed drones affected by this ancient religious paradigm...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I gave up on that long ago. I find most people do not like having their rather limited world views being challenged by reality. And intellect? Oh you can forget intellect, just as you put it, drones.

"My So-called life is kind of awesome!!"and other 1st world realizations.

Fun ways to raise money for causes

A naked (but discreetly covered) charity calendar. I have a specific reason for saying so.

Social Security is not an entitlement, you paid into it, you earned it.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I agree with your statement.

Why does scripture paint snakes in a bad light?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Alcoholic insanity.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Dating: what's your ideal age range? How important is age?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I don't care about age much, just so it's over legal age limit. I've dated women both younger and older than me.

Just curious - do any ex-religious have religious tattoos and how do you feel about them now?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Never was into tattoos, but one time seriously considered getting one of the Deus Ex video game symbol (my current avatar photo). The Om symbol is neat looking.

Have you dated someone YEARS younger or older?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Don't fall out of your seat when I say this...but when I was in my early twenties I dated a woman who was 24 years my senior. Damn, that woman was so much fun and uninhibited, her age didn't bother me at all. The overall experience of "having fun" with her was gratifying, but came to an end when she moved and I wasn't in the position to do the same. To this day I think about her often, and wonder what could have been had she not had to move away to help an elderly relative? I haven't shared this story with many people before, knowing how judgmental society can be at times.

Negging So I've been seeing some negging on here lately and I'd like to talk about it.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 10, 2018:

Never heard of that term before, thank you for sharing that information. Lucky for me I didn't just come to this platform for the dating part, if that sort of thing has been taking place on here lately.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

I agree, and personally do not care for either of the 2 party monopoly that is our current politics. Excellent quote in the photo. Free speech is slowly being eroded away, and both party's members love that. Political correctness is taking over, making gains here and there.

Steel Trade Tariffs.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

This was well stated. A screw job on American workers, and yeah we are falling behind in the technology department. On another note, I've noticed posts about a meme or link gets multiple views, while extended posts such as this one that are informative largely get ignored, what's that about?

What are your silliest/most unreasonable fears?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

Zero, life is too short to carry fear with you, and one of the many reasons I disdain religion.

Are we meant to be with one person forever?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

I wouldn't say meant, as that would be a personal choice to make, and both sides would have to agree. With that said, it is and not, in the sense that while some couples move on to other partners other couples do stay together until death parts them.

I think it's gross and a major turnoff when women let dogs sleep in the bed with them, but I see a ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

You wouldn't be alone on that thought eternalwisdom. My one aunt is a dog fanatic, and back in 2012 she got (I think this is spelled correctly) leptospirosis from one of her dogs that slept with her in the bed. Two of her dogs were never properly trained, and would at time have accidents, including on her bed. I tried to warn her that could be a possible health hazard, knowing some of them were not well trained, but she didn't listen until she got sick. My advice to you would be to avoid women like that, there are plenty out there who would think like you. I've only ever dated women who were not pet people due to having allergies, as my allergies are bad enough on their own this time of year without the help of other factors.

You may have noted my dashing photo on this website - specifically, my T-shirt which says: READ.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

Yes, I used to love going to Atlantic City NJ, and walks on the beach. Walking on a beach at sunset is like no other experience in the world, if you've never done that you have to before you expire.

Do you believe in love? What is love for you?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 9, 2018:

Although Huey Lewis And The News could probably best answer that question, I would say yes, I do believe in true fine love. Love is equal emotions directed towards that special someone.
