@Captain_Feelgood right. demand in your field. as if college is just for getting a job. yes, the poster's comment is about free college for all, so what do you MEAN there is nothing about free college? as for the rest of it, NOT false accusations. the rest is implied. of course it doesn't say anything about good guys, but the meme obviously admires bob and laughs at jim. it doesn't have to SAY the word "good guy." geez. g

@martin2999 you filled in your bio. good. now i have something to say about what you wrote. on most dating sites, yes, what you said about presenting yourself to attract people is true. here? not so much. we have a community too, as you will have noticed (and i forgot to mention that your post is actually in the wrong category; it sort of belongs in site & customer service, since it's not ABOUT love and relationships). on this site, the very best way to attract people, and find people to whom you are attracted, has little to do with profiles (we still like to see them of course). it is easier to know whom you like by what they say, how they participate, how they show who they are, posting on topics most of which has nothing to do with romance. if you want the best chance of finding a person to fulfill whatever it is you're looking to fulfill, i highly recommend browsing the categories, finding posts that interest you, engaging in those conversations, posting likewise, and seeing who's who and what's what around here. then you'll not be messaging people cold (hi, i saw your profile, you're pretty, i have no idea whether that's even a picture of you or whether your profile is truthful but here i am, let's date) but instead will be starting warm (hi, i loved what you said about cheeseburgers. i feel the same way!) g

@OwlInASack right, re leadership. and palestine shouldn't have to exist where it is; land was set aside for it by the british mandate, and they were rejected from it by the jordanians. but that happened, it can't be changed, they have to live somewhere, and they have some land they're fighting to stay in and be respected in now. so regardless of whether it should have to exist where it is, it DOES, just as whether or not the jews should have formed israel, there it is now, and it's all full of people, right? so there they are and now something has to be done about it, and you're right, it's the leadership, not the countries, not the people. pretending that things can go on as they are doesn't work. pretending that each people doesn't have its own nation, or that each people should not have its own nation, doesn't work. so... who will kick bibi and his likud out? and how will the hamas be replaced by an organization that isn't hateful? i have no ideas. i have not met anyone who has any ideas except kill the palestinians or kill the jews. those are the only solutions i ever hear. do i even need to say those are bad ideas? g

genessa replies on Feb 11, 2019:

@sassygirl3869 yeshiva just means school, a jewish school; it doesn't indicate, by itself, what kind of jews, or how jewish. it can indeed have a high population of chassidim or ultra-orthodox jews, but that is not a definition, and other jews can go if qualified (just like any private school it will have standards to be met -- i don't think most of them are actually religious standards). but extremism in what someone personally practices is not what we generally mean by extremism. don't we usually mean in their behavior toward others? otherwise we speak of orthodoxy, not extremism. it's not as if orthodox jews go from door to door trying to get christians to stop eating pork. i don't think nazis and white supremacists give two poops how religious the school is. they're identifiably jews. that's all these punks care about. hurt jews. they do not care whether they pray twice a week or twice a day, eat pork or eat at mcdonald's. the fact that they go to a jewish school pegs them as jews, whereas a public school that has jews in it doesn't cry out for swastikas. that's all. g

oh boy do i try music -- if only he would keep his hearing aids on! we go to adult day care (he's gonna grumble today because i'm not going with him, and by the way i am the vj, so everyone ELSE will miss the music but not him because he tunes it OUT). anyway thanks for the kind thoughts. g

genessa replies on Feb 9, 2019:

@Mcflewster i am already having agony. what has that got to do with hanging out with other atheists in a belief exchange? you didn't mention political activity (or assisted dying) when you suggested a belief exchange, and the name belief exchange doesn't hint at either. i am big on fighting for human rights. i don't need a belief exchange for that. my interest in human rights has nothing whatsoever to do with belief except to the extent that we should have the right not to be imposed upon by the religious beliefs of others. in the states, where i live, we have the freedom from religion foundation. they don't sit around talking about how they do or don't believe. they don't exchange beliefs, and their purpose isn't even to stop other people from being religious. they work to recover and maintain freedom of and from religion, separation of church and state. as for religion's continuing its downward spiral, i don't care at ALL what i care about is that on its way down, or even on its way back up, it is prevented from legislating, executing and adjudicating its way into my life and the lives of others. what people believe on their own time is their business -- just as my last days, and how i feel about them, are mine. g

genessa replies on Feb 9, 2019:

@Closeted, @Triphid yep loosely lol -- translations vary, and interpretations vary wildly. some random examples: in ezekiel, christians translate a hebrew word -- well, from other english, from other english, from latin, from greek, from hebrew, possibly from aramaic, but let's talk about hebrew -- as "virgin" but there is a hebrew word for virgin and a different one for young woman, and the one used in ezekiel is the one that means young woman, NOT virgin. also the nonchristian interpretation of the whole story is that it's about a specific war or wars, NOT predictive at all. well, oops, that kills the whole "predicts jesus" thing. another thing is ha-satan, not a name but a title, roughly meaning prosecuting attorney, not devil, not fallen angel, not demon.... okay that's random but i am no biblical scholar. jews don't have an old and new testament. they have the hebrew bible. there is talmud too but that's neither a bible nor related in any way to the christian bible; it's a book of commentary. hope that helps. g

genessa replies on Feb 7, 2019:

@Mcflewster solve what? i already said TWICE how the use of the phrase "chosen people" came up. (i don't know how the phrase "god's chosen ones" came up; that's not a known phrase. the poster uses it but i've never seen it before.) it came up in the story of abraham in the torah. god chooses to offer a deal to the jews, through abraham. abraham accepts the deal, or covenant. so it's both sides choosing to accept the pact. that's IT. nothing else. just that. i can't say it more clearly or succinctly. that's the whole shebang. as for the plight of the jews, which plight do you mean? believe it or not, judaism isn't focused on any plights! rofl! again, i remind you, i know a lot about judaism, not all there is to know, but rather a lot, as a jew, but i AM an atheist. when i talk about a biblical story, i talk about it as a biblical story, nothing more. lots of phrases in common use come from fiction. g

@sfvpool from the ayn rand institute: "In fact, Social Security is not insurance.

We shouldn’t hide that fact with euphemisms. “Contributions” should be called “taxes.” “Benefits” should be called “handouts.” Social Security shouldn’t be described as “social insurance” but as welfare." now i don't AGREE with the ayn rand institute but we must assume that the institute got its attitude from rand herself, in which case SHE believed social security was welfare, and yet, while railing against welfare, she did willingly receive it. in light of this, whether or not she needed it is irrelevant. her hypocrisy is clear. g

@Moravian that is generally true, partly because books do a different thing to the brain than films do. i can think of an exception though: sophie's choice. the film was far superior to the book because styron decided to devote whole chapters to stingo's sex life and they were irrelevant to the story, but someone must have said "this will never sell; throw some sex in." the filmmakers wisely decided to leave those chapters out. g
