Now let me stop you right there...

Walking to work I'm approached by an woman with a pamphlet.

zeuser comments on Mar 31, 2018:

See if you can bottle it. You could sell a million, at least.

I think I have to stay away from Facebook this weekend.

zeuser comments on Mar 31, 2018:

It's easy for me to ignore the FB noise, there's a lot of it there even if it isn't Easter. I don't try to provoke anyone, although I do seem to do it by accident anyway. And I always wondered why egg nog isn't an Easter tradition. You're only allowed one kind of egg each holiday?

Should women still act like women and men like men?

zeuser comments on Mar 31, 2018:

The key word in your question is "act". Men and women shouldn't act like anything and just "be", and not worry about fulfilling anybody's expectations. Granted that's easier to say than to do for a number of folks. But you shouldn't stop being yourself just because some arbitrary set of rules makes it harder. Men have always felt insecure, women have always felt the need to be very strong. Acting in a way that denies any of it will inevitably hurt you.

Have you ever looked back on something did and wondered how you survived?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

Oh hell yeah. I should have died 8 or 9 times, at least.

People describe me as a sinner. What is sin?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

You got it right, brother. You know what's right and what isn't. When someone else tells you what is right or wrong, the assignment of sin is an enforcement mechanism. I don't like anyone defining my morality, and especially not with an enforcement mechanism based on a subjective definition of sin. You're on the right track here. ?

Do you want a funeral, or a celebration of your life?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

I told my kids to surprise me.

I recently bought a crock-pot and learning to use it.

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

I make a very good posole in the Crock-Pot, that isn't that hard, it's good and hearty, and you can spice it up quite a bit. Here's an easy one, take pork loin and put it in the crock pot with a can of root beer, let it cook on low for 5 or 6 hours, remove, shred, and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce and Cole slaw on an onion roll.

Favorite pholilosophere?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

Heidegger, Husserl, Sartre, Pierce. Phenomenologists, an existentialist, and a pragmatist. Sounds like the beginning of a joke, if you got them walking into a bar. ?

Do you agree or disagree?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

They hype it as the greatest story ever told. But it's a story. And not even that great, if you ask me.

How do you know what they wrote in the bible,koran and the bagavate gita is all true ?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

You don't, but you can use your own logic to see the problems with the myths and suggested timelines. Most older scripture, regardless of the faith, it's based on oral tradition, politically manipulated at some point to support the actions of those in power. Other newer scripture, relying on the angel Maroni or alien thetans for their delivery, are just plain ridiculous on their face.

Should an athiest or agnostic be a god parent?

zeuser comments on Mar 30, 2018:

I wouldn't do it if someone asked. So far, that hasn't happened, so this is a hypothetical for me.

I have a cousin whom I love dearly.

zeuser comments on Mar 29, 2018:

I'd tell her what she wants to hear, just to make her feel better, the do what you can by conventional means.

Are you patient?

zeuser comments on Mar 29, 2018:

I modify my behavior so it looks like I'm patient, but I do seethe internally when something goes on for what seems like forever. Does that count?

Sex, fine food or good company?

zeuser comments on Mar 29, 2018:

Do You Have a Phobia?

zeuser comments on Mar 29, 2018:

Acrophobia. I got zero sense of balance and wobble on a 2 foot high step stool.

How fast do you drive in a 35 mph zone?

Why are men so afraid of meeting face to face on online dating?

zeuser comments on Mar 29, 2018:

Well, suggesting a meeting immediately gets withdrawal, in my experience. Plus, now don't judge me, I expect to pay for whatever happens at the first meeting, and most of the ones so far have resulted in very little chemistry. So I'm careful.

Heart breaker..

zeuser comments on Mar 28, 2018:

Back in 1980. No, she married someone else, so did I, and that was that.

Every time I say good bye to my now 95 year old dad it wrenches my heart.

zeuser comments on Mar 28, 2018:

I'm in a similar spot. My dad's 93, I am about 10 hours away by car. I call him every day and usually visit 3 times a year. Could only make it once in 2017 due to my on life demands, though I am traveling up for a 2 week stay starting next week. My mom is gone, all his brothers and sisters are gone, all my mom's brothers and sisters are gone, I am an only child, and when you get to 93, most of your friends and neighbors are already in the ground. It's rough.

Can a guy have a female best friend and sex never enter the frame?

zeuser comments on Mar 28, 2018:

Well, friendship is one thing, being a best friend is something else. I have several female friends without the benefit of sex. I don't consider any of them my best friend. YMMV

I gotta know.

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I spit when I need to spit. If I spit indoors, I do it in a sink or a toilet. Outside, a sink or toilet may not always be available when the need arises. I prefer to spit in a natural area, but will spit in the street if I must. Y'all need to deal with that. ?

Would you date a woman that had sex on the first date?

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Why do people say, "I have been to every corner of the world", when the earth is round?

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Not if you look at it on a map. A map of the world has corners.

Since my mid forties, I have found myself becoming progressively more of an introvert.

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

The older you get, the more you realize all the ways things can go wrong if you interact with anyone. It makes you a bit more introspective and cautious before you engage with people. That's not being an introvert, and it certainly isn't insane.

I started reading the bible recetly, and I'm 11 pages into genisis, and the shear substance of what ...

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Yes, I've read it, for a biblical exogesis course in college, and it solidified my views related to Christian religious validity (it has none).

Can you judge a person by the company they keep?

zeuser comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Hmmm, I dunno about that. If you're doing opposition research, I guess this a common tactic designed to dig up dirt on people. While it's a valid tactic for adversarial applications, if you look for dirt, you'll find it. If that's what you're after, go ahead. I can't see this as a good policy for vetting potential hires unless it's for a security clearance.

A fun question for everyone... what is the best way to break the ice here?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Just talk. It's like throwing spaghetti against the wall, some of it will stick, some won't.

Any wine lovers?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

I love Pinot grigio, true Rose, oaky chardonnays, Sauvignon Blanc, nice big Zinfandels, Pinot noir, and the occasional Gewurtztraminer. I love dry Chianti with Italian food. And who doesn't love champagne?

Are Some Men Reluctant to Talk on the Phone?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Texting is asynchronous. You don't both have to be available at the same time to exchange useful information. And if you want, you can check to see if someone is available and finish it up by talking to each other on a standard phone call. I don't like leaving voice mail either.

Mixed feelings on new company holiday

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Where I worked previously, there were no religious holidays on the company calendar, but they gave everyone a floating holiday, which you couldn't carry forward and was distinct from vacation time, for anyone who wanted to take off some particular day. Lots of people used it for Good Friday. I used it for the beginning of the NCAA basketball tournament, the closest thing I get to a religious experience anymore.

About you?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Well, there's a lot of ethnic culture and foods that are most definitely an important part of who I am. It's not just about ancestry, I count the close bonds I still maintain with folks in my old hometown. Now to be fair, I grew up in a heavily ethnic area, so my perception of what my background means to me will always filter through that lens. I am an American, but I have strong Eastern European roots that I am comfortable and proud to possess.

Favorite Atheist/Agnostic songwriters/songs?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Billy Joel, "Only the Good Die Young". I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints; the sinners are much more fun...

A joke for believers.

zeuser comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I've been telling this joke for over 50 years. In my version, it's a guy at a bar talking to the bartender, and the existence of God does not enter into the setup. But the fact the joke was repurposed indicates it's a good joke. You can always repurpose the good ones.

How old were you when you got married for the first time?

zeuser comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I was 28, and got a divorce 28 years later. That was 9 and a half years ago. No regrets. I mostly enjoyed being married, but I also like being single. I'm on great terms with my ex, and my kids are ok with the whole situation.

What is the most painful thing you’ve endured?

zeuser comments on Mar 24, 2018:

Diverticulitis attack was the worst pain, rolling around in bed and loudly moaning. Severe gout hurts like hell, and rivaled the diverticulitis pain. And of course abcess teeth. Sheesh, I've been through some pain, but not right now. All my best to the folks who are in intense pain right now.

Would you try to overcome a categorical refusal?

zeuser comments on Mar 23, 2018:

Nope. If it has come up at an early stage of the relationship, it's clearly a deal breaker for them, and you waste time and energy trying to make headway. When I see "God is important to me" in a tinder profile, I swipe left baby!

Do you spend time debating your views on religion with the religious?

zeuser comments on Mar 23, 2018:

My Uncle Doc told me once "Don't ever play somebody else's game." I won't debate anyone about anything where they make the rules and they determine the forum. They've stacked it against you, and that's a bad spot to start from. I do like honest existential discussions in a friendly environment with people who are open to ideas. But this is territory where zealots rarely visit.

When life gets you down and you're having your worst day, what helps you to feel better?

zeuser comments on Mar 23, 2018:

A bar. With friends is better, but just a bar works. Your way sounds a lot more selfless, but I gotta be me.

I was 12 the day I stopped believing.

Continuation of the online date.

zeuser comments on Mar 22, 2018:

You will stay together as long as you each are willing to swallow the other's crap. Based on your description, that's gonna take some work to engineer. I can't see a good path to suggest here, sorry. But don't give up and good luck bro.

Maybe I should start a group called "women who love men who love themselves".

zeuser comments on Mar 22, 2018:

How did I get put in the friend zone ?

zeuser comments on Mar 22, 2018:

You can't get out. Either you accept it and put up with it, or you move along. Forcing the issue will cause conflict eventually. Sometimes, you don't get what you want.

zeuser comments on Mar 22, 2018:

I carry a pocket knife in my pocket, a multi tool Leatherman and a 4 inch Jack knife in my backpack, and some small screwdrivers to fix eyeglasses in the dop kit in the backpack.

OKAY.

zeuser comments on Mar 22, 2018:

1. Shorts, old Filip flops, and a too small tank top with picture of Pee Wee Herman. 2. Anchovies and chopped onions in a bowl. 3. I can tell by your scent that you want me real bad.

Can you live without meat?

Probably. I could probably live without wine too. Probably both are a good idea. Probably won't do either one.

How do you feel about taking chances? What is the best chance you ever took? How did it turn out?

zeuser comments on Mar 21, 2018:

At 34, unemployed with a 3 year old, I quit my job as manager of a cable TV system and went to a local community college to get a certificate in software technical writing. I was hired immediately after I completed the course and worked for that same company for 28 years in many different capacities. Luckily, my then wife had a job and encouraged the move. She should've stuck with me. Oh well. I also quit a good consulting job to work for a cable TV company a few years earlier, and that job sucked. I was laid off in a corporate merger reorg. So when you take a chance, you take your chances!

Finish this sentence..

Is chivalry SEXIST???

zeuser comments on Mar 21, 2018:

Hmm, I think your definition is an interpretation of the meaning. I looked it up: "the sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms". This was a medieval concept, back when knights were warriors and abided by a code of behavior so as not to abuse their authority over those who were not warriors, which notably included women. Your definition is a derivative of the original meaning, and yeah it's probably sexist in the context of current society. In the context of the times when it was developed, no it wasn't.

Today's thoughts: I remember how sad my grandmother was when I started refusing to go to church ...

zeuser comments on Mar 21, 2018:

Choices have consequences. Your Gram made a choice that alienated you, her granddaughter, and it doesn't sound like she really respected your point of view. It was probably not her intention, but that was the effect. You also made a choice. You feel guilty about it. You had a conflicting choice between hypocrisy for the sake of family harmony and personal integrity. I understand that you feel how you feel, and you can't change that. But how would you feel if you just went along with her, essentially lying to her? I'm sure your Gram loved you, which is the most important thing. People can also choose to be disappointed, you know. I hope getting it out there helps you deal with your emotions and you find some solace. Best of luck to you.

As a gay man I grow increasingly tired of the seemingly shallow attitude in the dating pool.

What is your take on claims that thought, emotions or intention can affect the physical world?

zeuser comments on Mar 20, 2018:

One of my good friends is the executive director of the Rhine Institute in Durham, and they do experimentation on this and all kinds of paranormal phenomena. Some of it is interesting, and they explain some things with the (objectively proven) concept of quantum entanglement. Of course, a lot of it is hooey, but experimental results are sometimes very convincing.

I saw this on another page, and decided to bring this over hear.

zeuser comments on Mar 20, 2018:

To be fair, the Catholics lie about all kinds of stuff. (Disclaimer: I was raised as a Catholic.) Putting their words into the mouth of a dead man is the least of it, though it is still reprehensible. When you can't win the argument with evidence, make some up. Then go to confession to make it straight with the big guy. At least they're predictable.

What`s the difference between being single and emotionally lonely?

zeuser comments on Mar 20, 2018:

You can be in a relationship and still be emotionally lonely. The two things can coincide, but one is not necessarily the cause of the other.

So this happened: [usatoday.

zeuser comments on Mar 20, 2018:

There is good evidence that we are in the midst of a mass extinction. It's happened before, usually in response to natural events that cause a profound change in the environment. The rise of human civilization is the principal cause of the current environmental displacement. You see it in the encroachment upon and destruction of wild environments, the predominance of floral and faunal (not sure if those are words, but stick with me here) monoculture, the introduction of predatory species in foreign environments, the deliberate modification of natural climate cycles, and the proliferation of chemical and physical detritus in our oceans and atmosphere. So we are quite effectively doing what you suggest on a global scale. Fighting for conservation and eating salad instead of burgers are good, but really, the scale here is beyond any simple solution. Doesn't mean the loss of another species is any less tragic, but there is a greater tragedy happening all around us.

zeuser comments on Mar 19, 2018:

Well, when you actually study the Bible, you realize it is a political document, and a mythology, and not in any sense an accurate historical account. For the most part, and I hate to generalize, people who have never studied it deeply believe it at face value. People who have studied it understand the reasons behind the document, and treat it that way. There's the issue.

Why do men get so mad when they get rejected?

That is just bad upbringing. Or maybe none.

What was your favorite thing to do when you were a child?

zeuser comments on Mar 19, 2018:

I grew up in an old coal mining town, and before things were built out, we had a lot of woods and culm banks (big piles of mine tailings). In the summer, me and my posse would find isolated areas and build forts in the woods, and mess around on the big culm banks, looking for fossils and throwing rocks off the top. In the winter, we went sledding and built snow forts for snowball fights. Rode bikes everywhere. It was fun!

Baseball fans?

zeuser comments on Mar 19, 2018:

The Durham Bulls are your AAA affiliate. I try to get out for 2 or 3 games a year. I'm an old Phillies fan though, and I did what you are doing to a lesser extent. Went to see them at Wrigley, Washington DC, and at Citizens Bank. There might be an excursion to Atlanta this year as well. The DC Park is beautiful, you'll enjoy it. You need to add Chicago to your list, Wrigley is a rare treat.

What are your pet peeve markers you look for on a first date?

zeuser comments on Mar 18, 2018:

Well this applies to anyone, but on a first date it is a deal breaker. Before I speak, I try to make sure I have something to say. You want to talk over me? Once, ok, that's a Mulligan. Twice? Three times? All the time? Keep talking, I'll just wait for this date to end and never call you again.

Should psychics and fortune tellers be handled like con-artists and thieves?

zeuser comments on Mar 18, 2018:

One of my personal heroes, Harry Houdini, made it a point to actively debunk psychic and spiritualist con artists as he traveled the vaudeville circuit in the first half of the last century. He made a lot of enemies and was eventually murdered at the height of his fame during a stand in Chicago by those criminal interests. Entertainers are one thing, people who exploit the weak minded are quite another. We all have a responsibility to stay aware, but being duped by a professional conman is no shame, and the ones who do the duping are criminals, plain and simple.

Do you judge people base on how they look, talk, act, and how much money they make? If so why

zeuser comments on Mar 18, 2018:

I assess people based on these factors. Judging involves developing my opinion of the individual, and I do try not to be superficial about it, but hey, I only think it though so much.

Which do you prefer, books or ereading? Why?

zeuser comments on Mar 18, 2018:

If I can't get it on my Kindle, I probably won't read it. That's for novels. I used to like newspapers, but I broke that habit too. I miss the crossword puzzles, though. And the cryptograms. Doing those online just isn't the same.

Today, March 17, I will not be wearing green for 2 reasons.

zeuser comments on Mar 17, 2018:

First, I'm sorry that happened to your great grandmother, that is horrible. Second, I applaud your historical knowledge and your personal integrity, both are in high demand and shockingly short supply. I've never worn green on March 17, mostly because I'm not Irish, but partly because I am not a big fan of cultural appropriation. Though you could make an argument that the decline of the day into an excuse for open drunkenness is not culture, and it isn't uniquely Irish. Druids live on, though, in spite of old saint paddy.

What traits make a good boss? Have you ever had one?

zeuser comments on Mar 16, 2018:

I've run the gamut from excellent to shitty bosses, and I tried to be a good one myself. The best ones give you what you need to succeed, nudge you into areas where you ought to be, and trust you to do the job. And yeah, they have your back no matter what. I always tried not just to be a good leader, but to develop good leaders. You want to have guys that can do it on their own, but come see you when they need help, and trust you to help when they ask. Bad bosses blame you when things don't go right. Good bosses blame themselves for not anticipating what could go wrong. A good boss is a partner, a bad one tells you what you did wrong after things go sideways. And a good boss always knows what you are up to, because he or she makes sure to communicate regularly.

Science is a methodology shared by those studying many different observable and theoretical phenomena. Math is a language of symbology and the means of expression of the relationships among many abstract concepts. Art is a means of expressing a representation of a variety of aspects of subjective and objective observations. Philosophy is a way to take an organized and structured approach to explaining the essence of reality. So the answer to your question is... Yes!

I love reading! Anyone else? If so who are your favorite authors and what genre do you prefer?

Fantasy and science fiction. Jim Butcher, Terry Goodkind, Brandon Sanderson, Frederick Pohl, the late great Richard Jordan, and Kurt Vonnegut come to mind.

Immortality

No, I don't think I want to overstay my welcome here. The things you do in life have meaning because you will eventually die.

Ok what do I say/?

It's you know certain things are offensive to certain people, think of a better way to say it. If you don't know, say whatever you want, you'll find out if it pisses someone off soon enough, then adjust. And here's the thing, if anyone calls anyone a name, you can't learn a thing from that individual, not one thing.
