@Unseen, Show me facts that all of the choices we make are random.

I BELIEVE based on what I do know. I know that I chose to get up this morning, start laundry, make a cup of coffee, turn on adult swim and read the updates on AZ. Was that random? Because I laid here and debated what needed done and how I wanted to start my day.

I know that there…[Read more]

@Davis, I agree we have made it more complex. But it CAN and SHOULD be simple. Yet I can only speak for myself.

@Unseen, I’m sorry but that is funny shit. And for future reference,  girls who go down that fast, are likely going to require ghosting.

@unseen, I really enjoyed the Bach and quad harpsichord piece you posted. Even with the four of them they were almost overpowered by the strings. I ran across this very young Slovenia orchestra doing this short Offenbach duet. See if you can isolate the mezzo. Normally I don’t care for many famous mezzosopranos. There are better versions of this…[Read more]

(BTW, one of the irrational physical standards women apply is a height requirement. Research has shown that they prefer men who are taller than they are, and that the main factor that can overcome this prejudice is the wealth and power of the male. Or perhaps it is more logical than it first appears, according to this Maxim…

Certainty, clearly, is subject to qualification without devolving into nonsense. Not so with faith. It’s the nature of faith that it is 100%, a total commitment. Certainty can recognize facts and qualifications, faith cannot because “kind of faithful” isn’t real faith.

I 100% disagree with your statement there… Without d…

Agreed. We are a like parasites that kills their host. Since the sun will eventually fry the earth there is a clock ticking and the only way to survive that is space travel to a similar planet. I doubt that will ever materialize as a…[Read more]

Clearly, our species is on the way out.

There was still a sliver of hope a couple of years ago… But now, with Trump’s policies, and the fact that he is a climate change denier, It’s too late. I’m really hoping that somebody will win the presidency who really “gets it” in 2020….But it’s not looking like that’s going to happen.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news… But it’s too late. And we have much bigger problems on our hands than plastics. I’m not downplaying it whatsoever. It is an absolutely enormous  problem.

I am much more worried about ocean acidification. It is the beginning of the end of all life on earth. There are massive areas of the ocean right…[Read more]

He’s always creating distractions so people will be thinking about something irrelevant

With him I think it’s twofold. I do think he loves the distraction. I also think he absolutely 100% believed that he was going to be able to buy Greenland and Build some kind of trump tower with the ice to enrich himself….I’m sure there was some type…[Read more]
