Not to be scared of but I'm not on board totally with the proud of my blood crowd either... Its anything else that come out down their. Natural and nothing to be ashamed of. But kinda gross to see other people's.

@MsAl She is a very feisty woman who knows her own mind, and she has an issue with misogynists. (Don't all thinking women have issues with misogyny?) Thanks for sharing your experience as a nurse aid.
This is interesting.

Christians are fanatical about not thinking about sex, especially not the naughty bits of of "Holy" people. I once heard a catholic monk's talk about Glorification, the raising of the dead on the day of judgment in perfected form. In the Q & A section someone asked exactly what a perfected body ...

I see this in sports as well as some legislatures, and I would guess that her original address was written with that in mind.

@luckytobealive And what exactly is your point? When have I ever claimed to be on the side of the majority? Precisely how much weed have you smoked in the last 24 hours? Why did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby? Why do even imagine that you can win this game of insults against me when you have already so clearly lost?

Daily Covid cases in the USA are up to 80000. In the UK they are around 3500 per day. Based on population this means that the USA has over four times as many infections per day than the UK. I wonder why ?

@luckytobealive Your claim that science is all about proof shows that you have zero comprehension of the nature of science. Proof exists in mathematics, liquor, printing and numismatics, but *not*, repeat *not*, science. I suggest you learn about the Scientific Method. I refer you to Karl Popper's "The Logic Scientific Discovery" and the concept of falsifiable evidence that is one of its underpinnings. /@bookofmorons

anglophone replies on Apr 13, 2021:
@luckytobealive There is no such thing as proof in science. However, it would take a very brave man to dispute both the facts and the evidence relating to the spread and control of Covid-19. /@bookofmorons

@Triphid Try this: 4x365.25 = 3x365 + 1x366. (But then once every hundred years and once again every four hundred years messes slightly with the fractional part.)

Growing up as an unwilling Baptist.....I was taught that we are ALL sinners, because we bear the STAIN of ORIGINAL SIN (thanks, Eve) and so we MUST be ''washed in the blood of the lamb'' to escape that. Does any of this make sense to anyone?

No, it does not make any sense to me. Having said that, I have never been able to understand weapons grade bullshit.

Marionville comments on Apr 3, 2021:
Basically these guys have a hatred and fear of strong, intelligent, or clever women. They also need to feel in control, and allowing women to compete on equal terms removes that from them. They use the bible and propriety as justification for their misogyny.

@Marionville @girlwithsmiles I have no time for any man who feels threatened by any woman simply because she is strong, intelligent or clever. I approach all people, regardless of gender, on equal terms unless and until they demonstrate that they are deserving of being treated otherwise.
Alabama to keep ban on school yoga as conservatives say they fear rise in Hinduism | The Independent

That's hilarious IMHO!! It would be like banning star symbols for fear of rising Judaism. It certainly helps explain why they want prayers and crosses everywhere ... like that will convert all those godless heathens! <snort!>
