She Made Kavanaugh CRY!

[TOP]

Yeah I was previously FastLane but my hard drive died taking my password with it. Yeah I'm a retired Anesthesiologist. Joan of Snark AKA Bird Brains claims I'm not a doctor. Little does she know.

Some here just must be jealous of those with real careers They're wrong about mine being real...I'd bet their just as wrong about yours...

[Concart]

Even the Universe ends, probably in Heat Death AKA "the Big Chill".

I like exploring the mystery because I think people can find a more fulfilling mortal existence by doing so even if there is nothing beyond mortality.

Agreed. I strongly doubt mankind can comprehend a power so great it created the entire Universe. At best, maybe a tiny, tiny fraction of that power. Heck, most of us can't even comprehend the size of our own planet. Either there is existence beyond the physical or there isn't. We can't know with our current level of tech.

Well said. If the universe is a basketball court, we can see one strand of one of the threads on the net. In other words, we have no idea that’s there’s a game going on on the court, what the rules are, or what the goal is. But religion has decided they know ALL of that. It’s pretty laughable.

I agree 100% that she was wrong to do so and that it caused you physical harm. The point I'm making is that, if she's sane, then she should be held accountable, but if she's mentally ill, then she should be ignored and never trusted.

I guess you should put those who are mentally ill on ignore then...she was very wrong to do what she did...and continues to do...I agree 100% I've don't do anything mentioned, just fyi....

[ExpressLane]

Just observe the two of them, you’re supposedly a doctor, if you think Biden couldn’t pass the test while Trump did, you are no physician.

Trump routinely takes hard questions from reporters and Biden is being shielded from questions because he can't handle it. You may not like Trump but one thing for sure is he is cognitively intact. You on the other hand...I'm not so sure about. Don't believe I'm a doctor would you like to discuss how 2,3-diphosphoglycerate is produced and what its role is in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve?

[ExpressLane]

If we were responsible for our grandfathers actions many of us, especially me, would be in trouble!

She certainly got privilege from her family owning slaves. Mine came from poverty in Ireland and shortly there after fought against slavery in the Civil war. Why should I pay reparations? Maybe she should pay me reparations.

[ExpressLane]

As a generality, I agree with this. I worked with military officers and airline pilots for over 40 years. All had above average intelligence and a BS/BA degree or higher. Even so, I found that being smart in one thing doesn't mean they are smart in all things. Additionally, a small percentage were "off". Not as bad as Ted Kaczynski, but still people who believed in conspiracy theories or asserting things not logically supported. Some were just fucking morons socially and would get into trouble over sexual or financial matters.

Or perhaps you were the one that was off.

[ExpressLane]

I thought you had, but could be wrong. Some people do, some don't.

IMO, it does go with the discussion because a person who never apologizes can't be a Christian except in name only.

Are you a preacher?

watch the Hannity interview, Trump is a moron.

Bolton likes to bomb...

[Micawber]

The closest anyone can get to origins is understanding science and cosmology.
The closest we can get to peace of mind and happiness is in satisfying deeds, family, vocations and avocations.

Therefore religions are at best utterly worthless. QED!

[Micawber]

"Biden is being shielded from questions because he can't handle it. "

Wrong, he is flying under the radar because he can, leading by a dozen. Trump would do the same if he were in Biden's shoes and intelligent.

It would be the latter. I've occasionally been advised to put her on ignore. I won't do that because she's not to be trusted not to post my personal info. She did it here a couple of times when we first arrived and was warned about it.

And there's your two sets of rules. Her friend EE got a temp ban for sharing part of a personal email he'd received about other Amazon ppl. But Toxic posted part of an email exchange with Mason from when they were an item, and got bupkes. Playing the eternal victim has benefits.

Being an "eternal victim" AKA victim mentality is an illness all by itself although not formally named so:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...ictim-identity
The victim will definitely complain and even whine to others about how hard life is. But if anyone ever offers him some options for changing that life, the victim classically comes back with a long list of "Yes, buts."


https://www.healthline.com/health/vi...entality#signs
Frustration, anger, and resentment
A victim mentality can take a toll on emotional well-being.

People with this mindset might feel:

• frustrated and angry with a world that seems against them
• hopeless about their circumstances never changing
• hurt when they believe loved ones don’t care
• resentful of people who seem happy and successful

These emotions can weigh heavily on people who believe they’ll always be victims, building and festering when they aren’t addressed. Over time, these feelings might contribute to:

• angry outbursts
• depression
• isolation
• loneliness

How very kind of you to reach out and help her...a complete stranger, but you seem to "know" her so well

[Doc Dutch]

Well said. If the universe is a basketball court, we can see one strand of one of the threads on the net. In other words, we have no idea that’s there’s a game going on on the court, what the rules are, or what the goal is. But religion has decided they know ALL of that. It’s pretty laughable.

Agreed on all points. On religion, please remember that spiritual growth was the initial goal. Human beings, being still too apish for their own good, tend to fuck up large, powerful organizations over time regardless of their nature. They could be a corporation, a religion or a government. A main problem seems to always fall back on the old aphorism about how power corrupts.

I strongly believe there is a third component to existence, that being a spiritual side, but there is zero physical evidence of such a thing. It's like telekinesis, telepathy or "magic". Anyone who claims to have spiritual powers of any kind is either lying or delusional. Nonetheless, virtually all of humanity, over 95%, believes there is something to it.

Why would I put anyone on ignore, TOP?

How very kind of you to reach out and help her...a complete stranger, but you seem to "know" her so well

I've only known her as long as I have you.

[Doc Dutch]

Or perhaps you were the one that was off.

That possibility remains in play.
