Why did you get married?

AMGT comments on Mar 4, 2018:

The first time I was 25, definitely did it because of cultural pressure. I screamed the F word in my head as I walked down the aisle. The second time, I did it because I was in love. He had never been married and really wanted me to be his wife, so I went for it. I was convinced he was “the ...

I thin k my 2nd ex-wife felt the same about me. She did admit that she was not "all in"....about 2 years after the divorce. IDK if I was ever all in either, to tell the truth

Would you eat lab-grown meat?

NicThePoet comments on Mar 3, 2018:

This is kind of cool, but I also don't 100% trust that something won't go horribly wrong in a very sci-fi horror movie kind of way. So to answer the question, no I don't think I'd eat that. It would be neat to see if it really does reduce global warming though.

Do women enjoy sex as much as men? Does it depend on who they're having sex with?

sunhatpat comments on Feb 19, 2018:

Wow, that's a lot of questions. Both sexes enjoy sex a lot. Who does more? It depends. The ancient Greeks had a myth that explored this question. A seer named Tiresias got to live in both a male and a female body. When the gods asked Tiresias who enjoys sex more s/he said Women do. Of course, that ...

Knitfreak comments on Jan 29, 2018:

I have read frustration expressed on this site, but this site is a safe zone for us. We can rant and rave if we so choose. I'm frustrated at times with religion and the religious. I'm human and can be annoyed. Empathy is something that comes with maturity.

twill replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@ravnostic Also please remember online, we have a communication problem already....we can't see faces, hear voices, read emotions. So, the art of conversation will always be limited....what you percieve as anger, could be frustration. Or sarcasm/ poorly written attempt at humor.

It isn't a decision you have to make, I never decided there was no god, and obviously there is one for very many people, just I guess I didnt need one. Ignatius Loyola said give me a child till he's six and I'll have him for life! I think that has some truth in it .

twill replies on Feb 9, 2018:

@jlynn37 What am I getting at.....communicating a thought that popped into my head today. A question. A question aimed at believers. Question was simply...why didn't God populate the other planets? Which then became....why did he put the planets so far apart? which then became: would he populate the other planets with humans? And since his followers like war so much, put the planets really close to each other they can have war! That's about all I've got. But it was a fun exercise. IDK...would this be "satire" rather than "philosophy"?

twill replies on Feb 5, 2018:

Good honest answer Sherry: Seems like purpose, like all of life has its Ebbs and Flows. If you have a vagueness or detachment now, that's understandable. Just be open to what you discover, what comes your way, etc. But yes, TV is a soul killer. Make that change first....fill that time with some effort at discovery perhaps?
