Why would, or wouldn't, you date a believer?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 15, 2019:

I have and it has never been a problem. There are many shades in the spectrum of believers. I have never and would never date a church going believer. That would not work. With the vast majority of women I have been with I have no idea what they believed. The subject never came up, and that was and is fine with me.

There is a road from the eye to the heart which does not go through the intellect.

20 million caregivers perform complex medical and nursing tasks

Sticks48 comments on Jul 14, 2019:

Just another example of our very fucked up health care system. A national health care system will cost too much. Funny you don't hear that when they build a new ship, bomber, or nuclear weapon we don't need. You don't hear it when they are asked to bail out some corporation because they are failing because of bad and sometimes illegal management. We are a poor excuse of a nation.

If a flower doesn't bloom, do you fix the flower or do you fix the environment?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 13, 2019:

If your talking a relationship, sometimes a change of environment can help if that is the real problem. If not it will be a temporary patch on the real problem. If it is another person and you say to yourself, this person would be fine, if or but, then you really need to think this over. If you don't really like that other person for who they are, not who they could be with a little work, then you have a problem which will probably get bigger over time. If your talking flowers they are not that expensive to replace.
