Sometimes something as small as saying "hi" will make or brake a person's day. I had a sociology teacher that told me once she was stuck in traffic. The lady in front of her wouldn't move. She passed when she had the chance. Noticed the gal was sobbing. She said she would have felt terrible if she honked the horn.

They seemed to go ever well the last time, so...

Should prostitution be legal?

nicknotes comments on Oct 5, 2018:

I think so. Sometimes it is the only way for people to survive.

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 5, 2018:

@nicknotes Yes, and if it was legal all over, you'd go to a place like the Bunny Ranch that has security. Prostitutes CAN be raped. I'm not talking about paying the bill. I'm saying that there are certian things people just won't do. Also it would cut down on CTD's. I've heard that if you go to one of these establishents, you have to have an STD check. Also you wouldn't have to worry about the prostitute skiking your drink, stealing your money, and end up with a missing kidney. Also street pimps treat their hoes like shit.

I had a Great Grandmother who would cook dinner with a horse looking over her shoulder. So I wish I could have known a grand parent the way you did yours. She must have been something to break your heart that way.

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 5, 2018:

Yeah, it hurt like lell when she passed. She would cook so well it would put Gordon Ramsy to shame. Her horn rolls were to die for. I didn't know either of my grandfathers. One died a year before I was born, the other a year after. My other grandmother died in 1993. I guess I payed specific attention to her since I didn't have any other grandparents. That's why I became an Atheist. Some say it takes years... but when I was praying to have her back, I realized I was talking to myself. Now I am spritual, but don't believe in a personal god.

@Green_eyes That's one thing my friend Murray mentioned. He said that health care varied from Province to Province. The pills, I don't know how that varies up there. In the UK you pay a standard price for a RX.

@SACatWalker I've know for years that we've been missing out. I listen to our neighbors to the North. With the ACA, my premiums did go up slightly. However BC/BS didn't put the extra moneys into R&D. One year I got about $600 back. I have pre-existing as well. This sucks.

I've heard Canadians live an average life of 3 years longer in the US. But we are told we have the BEST medical care in the world. We have the highest infant mortality rate in the Western world! On a side note, we are told that in Canada, you'll be on a waiting list for any procedure. It took about 3 months for my back surgery! The last month or so, I was in bed for about 23H 45M EVERY day! I could not go anywhere. Just to go to the bathroom, I'd have to stop and lay down in the kitchen. My bathroom was about 10 feet away! I lost about 20 pounds because I couldn't stand long enough to make anything to eat. Could hardly get a glass of water.

In the US you need to have a US flag on top, then whatever flag below. There weren't any American flags, so the law didn't apply! If it's so fucking great, go back there!

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 3, 2018:

@Lilac-Jade I'm sorry to hear that. I myself personally know who have been in that situation. My best friends dad passed away a couple years ago. Pancriotic cancer. After six months, he told me he was 180K in the hole. That's with insurance. He was in his early 50's when he passed. Shortly after his passing, his wife called me. Wanted to sell me her house and the farm. They had half a dozen rental properties. I've known this family since I was 8 or 9. When she called, I could tell she was doing everything to not break down in tears. She did get to keep the house and farm, and one rental. Everything else had to be sold. You can't afford to take care of yourself here. Unless you are rich. The politicians get government health! You can't afford to go to the doctor for something that could be easily cured. Then it gets so bad that the medical bills are outrageous.

Slayer - Not of This God Ironically Tom is catholic. [youtube.com]

Tampabrew comments on Oct 2, 2018:

I always thought his religion and band were an odd juxtaposition. Didn't Kerry King write most of the lyrics? I'm pretty sure he wrote and recorded most of the bass lines.

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 2, 2018:

Jeff was the true talent in the band. Kerry did write a lot. I believe this is his song tho. I'll look it up. Looked it up. Kerry wrote it. I can tell Kerry and Jeff's style just by listening.

That's ok, Paul was already dead at that point! (& now John & George are, too)

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 2, 2018:

@phxbillcee You can watch it if you want. Supposidly a tape made by George harrion said that Paul died in a car crash in 1966. They had to cover it up because there would be mass suicides. It's bullshit, never verified, but very creative by whoever made it.

No. The only thing is I hope it comes when I am asleep. No terminal disease or anything. Just go peacefully. Without pain.

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 2, 2018:

@Captnron59 I did R&D for an engine building company. One asshat I worked with would always try to get me into trouble. Why? I started in R&D, he had to work his way up. He'd intentionally tell me to do things incorrectly. He also asked me several times about my pay. Never told him. One time he tried to make me mad by saying he was an Atheist. Surprise! Didn't give a shit. Once he was welding a bracket. He asked me to grab it. Didn't know it was still hot. He did. Started laughing at me. I had a big wrench in my hand, and it took everything in my power to not beat him to death with it! I did talk to my boss about these things. Shit wasn't done. I got a job immediately at Ford. Fuck that asshole!

@IBuiltTheMoon The biggest part that bamboozles me is how he fired off 3 rounds in 5.6 seconds with a bolt-action Italian piece of shit! Carlos Hathcock couldn't do it. He was the best 1000 yard shot the Marines had! Jesse Ventura couldn't do it. He was Expert. People that have served during the time said it would be hard to get a head shot in that time frame with an M-14. Your target is moving 6-8 MPH, you are on the 6th floor, and you have to shoot through trees. I do balistists tests myself.

@Hellas I typed that wrong. I meant to say that I was making that post for a partner, not a one night stand. That's what I meant to say. I've never been that type of guy, and I am too old to try and play games. That's why I'm looking for advice. I want her to be with me. :)

azzow2 comments on Oct 1, 2018:

Some of those guys are very responsible when it comes to gun safety just because of the environments that they thrive in requires firearms awareness. For the most part, if they feel the need to keep a firearm they will regardless if the law allows them to or not. Why not just let them register them ...

TheGreatShadow replies on Oct 1, 2018:

You brought up the point of them getting them illegally, then registering them? Legal law-abiding citizens usually don't even do that! My father has about 3 dozen firearms. I have a few. You don't have to register, so why?
