We have never had border security. Hence many jobs are lost to illegal aliens. This also drives up the prices of rent - supply and demand.

@SheThatB They take many jobs away from Americans that would do the work. They drive up the prices of apartments. Its simple economics.

@scurry Trump's a genius, and I love what he's doing. 1 Space can not be created - so the space of the Universe has ALWAYS been here. 2 Space can not end - it extends forever. Aristotle was 1st that I know of that claimed the Universe is eternal and infinite - Einstein said the same thing.

My belief - God is the Universe - its eternal, it created man, it fits.

gater replies on Mar 21, 2018:

Thanks, I got real high the other night and it occurred to me that God is the Universe. So I went from not believing in God to believing in a new definition of God. I hope they don't throw me out of here :)

Do you accept the possibility of a god, but reject man’s perspective of one?

gater comments on Mar 18, 2018:

I will never again believe in the Bible's God, however we have no idea where evolution will lead us, if we ever encounter a "supreme being" - they will just be far more evolved than us.

@EmeraldJewel I remember hearing that God created man so man could worship him. - If that were true then God must have some messed up ego issues.

If you could be safely frozen for 500 years and then thawed out - would you?

I'm over 60. Do I have the energy to learn how to get along in a whole new culture? I'm pretty adaptable and I also am interested in the future, but what would I be there besides a sideshow exhibit?

I used Scottrade for about 10 years - sad to see it closed - I don't like Ameritrade as much

I'm having the same problem . I much preferred the Scotttrade software . I'm afraid to order anything using their stuff .

What is your definition of The Universe?

paul1967 comments on Mar 20, 2018:

I can't conceive of anything without a beginning any better than I can conceive an infinity of time. My human brain just doesn't process time without end. When you think infinite all you can do is think of long, but I can't imagine endlessness, but my inability to do that doesn't stop me from ...

@Countrywoman Interesting - yes history is full of examples of men that offered new views that were right - but they were ridiculed - Copernicus was nearly put to death because he claimed the earth moved around the Sun.

Coffeo comments on Mar 19, 2018:

josmi6699 comments on Mar 20, 2018:

The universe, like everything else, does not care what anyone believes. There is evidence that the universe does not have a an infinite past. To say "to me this is basic and true .. I suppose some cant conceive" sounds exactly like how theists justify their beliefs: based on nothing at all but their...

gater replies on Mar 19, 2018:

Yeah, I believe it - and I have for over 40 years. To me its simple and basic. Although there is no way of knowing what is out there - im am sure space continues forever - the laws of science may never catch up to logic. Logically there is no way to contend that space ends at some point.

How often do you get high?

Goat comments on Mar 12, 2018:

Now, I would never do this myself as it is illegal here in Utah. BUT, if I were to share a recipe, it would go like this: 1 pkg Costco Brownie Mix, 2 grams ACTIVATED bud finely ground (coffee grinders are best with a bit of flour), cool, cut into 16 equal pieces, and voila! The easiest edible ever.

@irascible Just think about it - there cant be a beginning of time, its physically impossible, because at any point in time, there is a "before that" - and space cant be created or destroyed - another physical law. no beginning of time - no end of space - you better get used to these ideas if you want a grasp of physics.
