WHO NEEDS GOD?

callmedubious comments on Jun 14, 2019:

i would really question how many "rich, powerful ppl" really believe in a god. i doubt if a proclaimed atheist could ever make it very far in politics today. so i don't, for one minute, believe all these RPP are really believers. i further doubt that there are many rich, powerful IGNORANT ppl.

genessa comments on Jun 14, 2019:

@ClaireMilner i think she really believed she was doing the right thing. she wasn't, of course, and franken should have had the investigation he requested; anyone with eyes and ears can see he was set up. she got caught up in me too, which is a good movement but like many good things is ripe for abuse, and this was an abuse of it. i blame her a little; i wouldn't vote for trump or stay home or vote indie over it if she was the nominee (which i don't think we have to worry about). it wouldn't hurt if she apologized, but i am not holding my breath. g

genessa replies on Jun 14, 2019:

@sassygirl3869 i am fairly sure she won't. biden is more worrisome. he really could be, not because more people like him but because people will be voting on who they think can beat trump instead of whom they favor. they really should vote for whom they favor (biden, if that's whom they favor, and someone else otherwise). that is why we must be more careful with him. of course it all could change with the debates. you never know. but i will address the issue of the senate: we do have to take over the senate and in many ways it's more important than who is president, EXCEPT that trump is SO corrupt, we really need both. and there are other people who can be good senatorial democrats. i would not worry about that in terms of the presidential candidates. we need it all. let's get it all! g

@sassygirl3869 so if she is the nominee, which is unlikely, but still, you will either vote for trump, stay home or vote indie, all of which gives us four more years of trump? it is one thing not to vote for someone in the primary. it is another to reject the winner. g

@sassygirl3869 i won't be doing that until after the debates. there is a lot of stuff on the web that is either untrue, or true but misinterpreted, or true but irrelevant, or just plain true and presented fairly, and i am not going to sort through them, but rather trust my own perceptions. i watch every interview i can of every candidate even if i have no other knowledge about the candidate. i'll be watching the interviews. i will have context for everything i see and hear, if i can help it. right now i like warren best, but i have always been fond of booker, and harris is rising in my estimation. if a used piece of toilet paper wins the primaries i will vote for the paper. it will still be better than trump. g

i did not mean to imply that i thought the hysteroscopy would be done without anesthesia. thing is, i am equally afraid of the needle in the wrist and of the anesthesia itself. i often have a bad reaction to anesthesia. but the worst part is the ptsd. i awoke during eye surgery when i was three. i am beyond terrified now. it isn't logical or rational but it is deep-seated. i truly believe i could have a heart attack and die just from the terror. g

@St-Sinner funny, the recent surveys of which i know are FOR impeachment. and the mueller report may not have accused him but it certainly did lay out a list of his crimes! republicans are NOT hoping for impeachment (except at least one who actually read the mueller report, which i suspect you did not) and is for it because he wants the president impeached, not a distraction-impeachment. yes, we need to oust the lousy leaders next year, and if we can impeach barr and mnuchin for their crimes (that is actually on the table right now, but i would add devos to that) beforehand, that'd be good. but in the meantime, impeachment may be something we all decide we want. and by the way, americans do not like a democratic election undone by poiticians in washington, but that was NOT a democratic election, and that's in the mueller report too. g

@Vintenar i used to volunteer for aol, well before the law decided that aol, as a profit-making entity, did not have the right to make people work for free. the section of aol for which i volunteered was, like most or all such sections, an independent contractor. it was for a time plagued by hackers who would go into the leaders' profiles and brag on them that they'd "owned" said leaders. i was the only leader who never got hacked, but sometimes i went to look at the profiles of the others, and i would see this bragging line. the owners of the profiles never saw the bragging. why? because i am a compulsive tweaker and customizer, and upon acquiring a new computer the first thing i do is change the background and text colors (and everything else). the hackers knew almost no one does this and thus bragged in white type -- white on white being invisible. it showed up quite plainly to me, of course. i told the other leaders about it and they were astonished. i told them how to check it for themselves: select all on their profiles, copy it up and paste it into windows write. then change the font color or the background color and presto hacko, the bragging lines would show up. they said i should report this to tech support, so i called tech support on the phone and was trying to describe the problem. when i got to the "copy and paste" part the aol tech stopped me. "how do you copy and paste?" he asked. it's not just grammarly, m'dear. tech support just universally sucks! and furthermore, while i'm ranting along, i will tell you why (i think) tech support, like so much else, universally sucks: the O word. what's the O word, you ask? OVERQUALIFIED! no one will hire you if you have a brain. they will tell you you're overqualified. they're afraid you'll get bored and leave, they're afraid you'll get motivated and take over the company, they're afraid you'll think they're dumb. well, they ARE dumb. my late best friend, who was an actors' manager, told me that once a studio exec complained to him that he just couldn't get good help. every administrative assistant he hired turned out to be a dud. how in the world could he get a good one? my friend said, let me hire your next administrative assistant, the studio exec said okay, and my friend followed through. the exec came to him raving: she's wonderful! i can't get over it -- how the hell did you DO that? my friend said, well, i just hired the best person who applied for the job. (now why didn't the exec think of that? lol!) obviously, tech support for most entities operates as that studio exec had been operating: don't hire anyone who's too good because that person is overqualified. dumb! g

@TheMiddleWay it is not just better reported. if anything it is worse reported because it is actively covered up. i don't know about other christian sects but when a rabbi does it, it's reported and he's arrested and he loses his job. so there is no credence i would give to the notion that it is endemic in other judeochristian traditions, nor that it is equally found in all traditions. it is not traditional, at least in judaism, to sexually assault children. the rate of pedophiles in the general population is reported better than the rate in the catholic church because there is no concerted coverup throughout the general population, though there are of course coverups at various institutions. g
