Hell man, you don't need this site at all. With your looks and all the women in Iowa City that are politically liberal, hip, and non-believers, you should have no problem finding compatible women to date. The only way you could lose or fail at it is if you are a conservative or an asshole.. My money is on the latter.....

For those of us that are the black sheep of the family, how true does this ring for you?

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 30, 2022:

It sure as hell fits me, and my role in my dysfunctional family. It was probably no accident that I was named Thomas, like the apostle, truth-teller in the New Testament gospels.

I yearn for simpler times and fear for the future.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 29, 2022:

That's me, a psycho. I don't even have a smartphone, nor do I want or need one..But then, I've alway been a non-conformist. So sad that my kind is so rare nowadays, compared to the 60s. Nowadays, everybody likes to think they're hip, yet they are almost all very conformist. Fucking sheeple!....

Trump has nothing to worry about regarding Jan. 6. Only the smaller fish will ever see prison over it. He's a member of the club, like George Carlin said, and he hasn't stolen from rich people in the club, so he is safe.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 29, 2022:

We need a govt. sponsored buy back program, like I think Australia did, to first start to make a dent in it. Secondly, we need new SC or a much more progressive congress, to ban assault weapons with a constitutional amendment. Until then, we are fucked... The ruling class is fine with our status quo on guns, because they don't care how many of us peasant are killed, since it only happens among the peasant class. Until it actually starts affecting the ruling class and the political class, nothing will be done. But if the peasants somehow started using their weapons against the political class on a widespread scale, or ever began using them on the ruling class, we would see action so fast it would make your head spin!

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 28, 2022:

That is so true. I remember when I worked as a vending route driver at a state university that was all about science and tech, and listening to the students talk amongst themselves, nary a one that had any knowledge of humanities or liberal arts, all of them obviously grooming themselves for careers in science and tech where they would make good money, never join a union, and either loyally vote Republican, or, even worse, become Libertarians... To them, Ayn Rand was a god and science could solve all problems, it was their religion and the only thing that mattered, not people or humans...

I'd like to think this is one of those great communities that are hidden unless you go looking.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 27, 2022:

I think that is generally true here about Agnostic.com, Glen, unless you begin discussing the dating game and making any negative statements regarding any women in said game, no matter how much the statements are based on your personal experience. The sad fact is that most women on this site are so reflexively defensive of the sisterhood, that they have no tolerance for anything negative said about women in the dating game, no matter how much they may know it to be true. And the same thing with most men on here, they don't have the guts or integrity to stand up to those women I am referring to, either due to lack of courage, or their desire to curry favor with those women by lacking the integrity to admit it when they know a guy is being honest and right about something regarding women in the dating game. So, in summary, this is still not a safe or supportive place, like it used to be, for discussing one's online dating woes, at least if you are a man, and that is why almost no one but me is still willing to do or risk it here. And, as far as I can tell, with the many women who have blocked me over this subject, it also doesn't appear to be a place where women feel that safe or supportive, either, about sharing their experiences regarding online dating, because I don't see any posts from them either, even tho if they had me blocked, I would still see the post listed in the posts column for that group, not sure if that also is true for forum categories like Love And Relationships..

She makes a very valid point that they will deny and deflect.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 27, 2022:

So true, they will deny and deflect, she should have gone on to say, that instead of about faith, it really is all about control and domination of those they hate...She was too polite about it and stopped short of confronting their phoniness completely as fake religion... As the Betty Bower's character, America's favorite Christian, said recently, it isn't at all about religion, "It's White Christian Nationalism, dressed up in Bible drag"..... And in the case of abortion bans, it's misogyny and patriarchy, dressed up in Bible drag. As Betty would say, "Glory!".

Here's why vandals sprayed graffiti at Focus on the Family headquarters

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 27, 2022:

I see nothing wrong with people from the left desecrating their self-righteous, pious, image with the graffiti. To me, the line that needs to be drawn is physical violence against people, not the damage to property. Destroying property to make a political point, while not preferable as a form of protest, is sometimes necessary to get public attention and make a point. I hope in this case it does make a point to the religious right, that our side is not just polite, meek people who will just nicely protest at rallies and make moral appeals, that in addition to that, we will publicly shame and tear down all of their masks of having some moral superiority to us by confronting their hypocrisy. I see nothing different here than the righteous gay men who spilled blood at Catholic churches and disrupted masses held by the cardinal in NYC during the AIDS crisis of the 80s and the leadership of the Catholic church condemning gays and blaming them for AIDS and their own deaths from it. Another example of righteous, justified anger resulting in property destruction, was in San Fransisco, back in the 1990s, when Dan White was acquitted for murdering Harvey Milk and George Masconi, a totally outrageous verdict, that outraged the gay community there, so at the end of a nightlong, candlelight march, that ended at City Hall, they smashed windows and justifiably vented their rage against the city government, including Diane Feinstein, who had supported White over Milk for years, and pushed for the acquittal. Sometimes, the right, as well as the centrists in power, need to be reminded that those on the left are not all meek, polite, sissies, who will tolerate outrageously being shit on without biting back, and being capable enough of violence to put some fear into their opponents of how ugly things will get if they are ignored and not given any concessions from those in power. The only reason we got progress in the 60s, was because of how much of a threat those in the left posed, unlike now, to act violently and disrupt the system. The progress then was never given to us out of the goodness of the hearts of the rich and corporations. Why we get no progress now, is because the rich and corporations are no longer afraid of us at all, mainly because people will not get out there in the streets and agitate the way they did back then, partly because the Dem Party is now much more corrupt than then, and also because now the cops are so militarized, that they are ready to mow us down successfully, even if we did get out there in tens of millions and raised hell like the old days. But the one thing we still have on our side, is that there are still way many more of us peasants, even tho half of them are MAGAs, than there are cops and military, so if we could somehow ...

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 27, 2022:

That really is what it boils down to. I can't count the number of times I have heard a conservative say that kind of cut off my nose to spite my face line, usually it's something like "I don't want any right to healthcare for all or any national healthcare plan, because I don't want to have to share it with illegal aliens, black people, gay people, Muslims (insert any despised minority group here). And the people saying this are always working class white people, who would clearly benefit from a single payer system, with much better access to care and much lower costs for themselves, but no, they can't stand the idea of any of their taxes going to help members of groups they despise, or of having to share access and waiting rooms with members of those same groups. What fucking, bigoted idiots! For people on the right, who will never gain anything economically, by voting for Repubs, it really does come down to them voting Repub because, they hate the same people the voter hates.... It takes no imagination to picture these sheeple rabidly partaking of Orwell's daily Two Minutes Hate ritual in his novel 1984, because they already indulge in it every day, while they are watching Fox News...

Life will imitate art and hospitals will have to become like airlines, becoming prepared to defend against armed intruders hijacking their facilities and staff to perform proceedures they can't otherwise get, due to lack of money, insurance coverage, or laws against the proceedure.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 26, 2022:

True, the last time the left would bomb things was in the 70s, and in the years they did that, they always made as sure as possible to only blow up empty buildings, versus the way the right always plans their attacks on their targets to kill as many people as possible. So that tells you all you need to know about who is really pro life and who isn't..... The left also doesn't support the death penalty either, just to add that in there, since the right is hypocritical and inconsistent in that way too.

It's called industry consolidation and monopoly. The laws against it are on the books, but our pols are too bought and corrupt to enforce the laws, so we get screwed, over and over, no matter which major party in in power. Covid and the supply chain issues, which are also related to offshoring of manufacturing and industry consolidation, were used as a cover for corporate price gouging.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 23, 2022:

Nothing will happen, at least not from the govt., to protect queer folks and other perceived enemies of the right, and the attacks will continue. This culture war stuff is way too valuable to the ruling class to have the government end it and risk the masses waking up and possibly quit being divided over it, because then they might start voting in their own real economic interests and unite against the 1%. Because in America, the duopoly and the corporate media will only allow class war to be waged from one side, the 1% against the 99%.

I guess I'm an abnormal freak or something, despite growing up in rural Iowa and being brainwashed all thru public school to believe that shit, I wised up about it as soon as I got to college and started hearing the truth about capitalism and American politics. So what excuse do all the rest of the college educated people have for most of them still believing this bullshit? It's the same idiots who are working poor or middle class, but keep voting Republican, because they are stupid enough to think they will be rich someday... The other part of it is how brainwashed most Americans are about worshiping individualism, from the corporate media and popular culture here. Solidarity is a taboo subject here..

Changes I'd like to see:

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 20, 2022:

Because almost everyone in congress is owned by the oligarchs who run those companies, and also because almost everyone in congress long ago quit caring about anything but themselves, their spouses, and their children getting rich off their power, influence, and contacts in congress, both during and after their political careers. And because most of the voters are too dumb to see that or care that both major parties are the same on this, and to instead start voting for third party and independent candidates, instead of the bought members of the duopoly..

Just one more reason to want to send them packing.

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 20, 2022:

They are all about selfishness.. Socialists, like me, or even liberals, tend to be more into generosity and sharing equally, that is, except the comfortably upper middle class Dems, who are really no different than the Repubs, when it comes to sharing and economics.

Mass shooting at gay nightclub in Colorado Springs - Los Angeles Times

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 20, 2022:

When will liberals wake up and realize that, on some level, our civil war has already begun and been going on a while, as far as the right wing attacking obvious targets that they see as their political and cultural enemies? : Queer nightclubs and bars, minority-dominated stores and churches, liberal churches, synagogues, etc.. Time for any of those types of buildings and groups to have armed guards there at all times whenever they are open for business and having mass gatherings. I am not blaming those groups that have been targetted, but time to wake up and quit allowing themselves to be sitting ducks. It's not that fucking hard to know which places will and are being targeted, since mass shootings never seem to happen at places and groups that are supportive of right wing groups, so those who should be able to see they are likely targets, need to quit worshipping non-violence and pacifism as if it were some fucking religion and start reading some Malcom X instead, in other words, that self-defense is merely being intelligent... It almost seems like some people would rather just be sitting ducks for right wing terrorists and mass shooters, but for me, at least, I would rather be protected and ready, rather than some unprotected, righteous victim that chooses to be naive or voluntarily unprepared... And one more thing, those armed guards need adequate firepower, not just a six gun revolver, since the shooter will usually have an automatic firearm, body armor, and plenty of ammo, so the guards need to be well trained and armed for such attackers. It also might have helped to have had armed guards outside the club, searching patrons for firearms, so they might never have even gotten inside the club with that kind of security..

Just lucky, I guess, but I also learned early on how to fall safely, so when I do, I usually land on my butt or my side, on soft tissue rather than bone. Worst I ever suffered was dislocating my foot while playing basketball and stepping on another player's foot at an awkward angle.

The Dems need young, progressive leaders, not these old neoliberal, corrupt, centrist, corporate political whores. Nobody outside of party loyalists has any respect for them anymore, and if they are still leading the party in two years, it will be a Repub landslide, because most voters have figured out their con and their games. And BTW, big fucking deal if the Dems still technically control the Senate. How well has that been working out with Manchin and Sinema controlling all of the Dem agenda there? It will be even worse now, as the margin is even less now, and the two DINOs are going nowhere and not changing a bit...

Very impressive that you survived and recovered. Happy you are alive and hanging in there, hope you have many more good years. A male friend of mine survived a bypass of five arteries, not just four, how he made it, I will never know, but I saw him before he went for the surgery and he was in pretty bad shape, very poor color and a gray face. I had no doubt and so did he, that he would die soon without the surgery, so he had nothing to lose. He has other issues now, early Parkinson's and his longtime chronic severe depression, but he's still here and kicking. I guess that last part, for him and you, is what really matters...

TomMcGiverin comments on Nov 15, 2022:

Ted Rall is one of my fav political cartoonists, because he tells the harsh truth, and with the kind of genuine rage and anger I feel about our system here. But you can bet the house on it that all of his suggestions will be dutifully ignored, because the DNC only cares about the corporate campaign cash and their donor class, not about getting anything done for the voters or their base, or even about winning elections. Only suckers still believe they care about winning more than their campaign money, their congressional pensions, and their place in the revolving door system between congress and careers later as lobbyists or corporate jobs after they leave office, all of which they can look forward to whether they are in control of DC or not. It's actually easier for them if they are out of power, because the perks mentioned above keep coming for them, and all they need to do is complain about the Repubs, with no pressure on the Dems to deliver or produce anything for the voters.

If a God existed, it would clearly be one who really enjoyed irony and cruel humor. Not surprisingly, life is full of irony, at least the way I and most thinking, intelligent people see it. So those who cannot understand or appreciate the frequent irony in life are asleep while awake, or just not paying attention, unless they are just too fucking stupid to even get the concept in the first place... They are also unlikely to be able to understand humor, unless it is the most simple and base forms of it.

Meet Watson. He helps with everything

If I had a cat like that, his cuteness would help me cope with the blues and give me hope for better times, if for nothing else than seeing him every day.

Cats have 9 lives. You are not a cat...

I have something like that on my T-shirt, which has an image of a cat as a rapper with bling and everything. It says, " Ready To Die Nine Times" and " The Notorius C.A. T."...

Somehow I missed this.

I used to love it when radical groups used to smash pies in the faces of asshole leaders or celebs that were corrupt or right wingers, but that was in more innocent days when they wouldn't be fatally shot on the spot for daring to assault their betters... Nowadays, it would be a death sentence to get that close to a member of the ruling class and try it..

Somehow I missed this.
