They send their forces into the country single file, a line I think has become something like 40 miles long. What could go wrong?!!! LOL

What if America painted Chinese flags on their F-22 and then bombed the shit out of Russia. And then we say, China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit b…[Read more]

It was a Ukrainian I was texting. I verified the number with the info I got from AirBnB when I booked a few nights there for this week. It came up as a number by the Dnieper river that flows through Kyiv and he replied in Ukrainian not Russian. Anyway, there is no Russian army in Kyiv because Putin has told us that they are not at war in Ukraine…[Read more]

I was texting a guy back and forth in Kyiv on Sunday night and at one point he did not reply for a few minutes. Then I got an apology – “Sorry the last bomb was very close so I moved”.

They are not happy with us since a TV reporter called their ambassador “an apologist for slaughter”.

@Encogitationer – You thought we were joking?? We have now decided to create a safety zone for their embassy staff to come and go. 🙂

This “Lessons about Atheism for ages 8 and up” might be of use to some.  It can be printed or saved as a PDF.

I only do my virtue signalling from a safe place padded with extra layers of cotton wool as I have a very sensitive disposition and am easy offended to the point of needing constant positive affirmations that everything will be OK. I seldom drink alcohol. In fact the last time I did I had an excellent beer here 🙂

I guess I might try Poutine with a glass of Poitín instead. I hear it cures everything 🙂

@Autumn – Je vais manger de la poutine pour le dîner ce soir mais pas de vodka!

I don’t have a specific term for my beliefs,

Good. Same as atheists. We strive to learn what we can and reason through the evidence to come up with our best understanding about a topic. We have various “understandings” as opposed to “beliefs”. For theists their beliefs are held as absolutes but for us our understanding of something is open to q…[Read more]

The Tale of the $100 Bill:

It’s a slow day in some little town……..
The sun is hot….the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich tourist from back west is driving thru town.
He stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms u…[Read more]

The main difference as I see is that Epicurean standards are of a higher standard to those of religions. The Epicurean philosophy strives to improve the welfare of the individual which in turn will benefit society. It understands that death is the end of life and life on Earth continues without us just as it did before we were born. It is a…[Read more]

@marulimarulaki – When he does not agree with my behavior he sometimes feels justified to hurt me knowingly.

What is the method by which he hurts you? Is it verbal abuse or is it physical? Both are forms of unacceptable behavior but physical abuse cannot be tolerated. Once is once too often. You are correct in saying that you consider it as an…[Read more]

Irish news reporter called the Russian ambassador to Ireland “an apologist for slaughter”. Yes, it is a good question.

Russia needs someone like Nadya Tolokonnikova as president.

Putin has been winning his other wars. He will do to Kyiv what he did to Grozny and what Russia has also been doing in Syria. That is carpet bombing the cities, especially targeting schools, hospitals, power stations and residential areas.  Tens of thousands will perish unless a ceasefire happens soon. I don’t think this is likely as he has not…[Read more]

I thank god I am an atheist so 🙂
