    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    Do you? Why then does that never appear in your assessment of the world? THAT's what you write about: greed, violence, corruption, suicide and overdose. I only bring this to your attention because I think that your religion has taught you that the world is a bad place but not that it can also...

    Trump's literal answer to a question

    "Well, I will do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, uh, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka were so, uh, impactful on that issue, it's a very important issue, but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because childcare is...

    Trump Slams His Attorneys Then Spends 45 Minutes Defaming E. Jean Carrol AGAIN, and Her Witnesses.

    I saw a meme after the second Carroll judgement that said she grabbed him by the pursey. The jury believed her. That's what matters. It doesn't matter what anybody but the jury (and maybe the trial and appellate judges) believes. Nobody can stop him, but he can be made to pay a price for some...

    A song a day

    Yikes! I see what you mean about wanting to kill yourself after hearing that. LOL. I think I need a sedative. That song is slightly older than you are if the biographical data you gave is accurate. Interesting that you found it. In my day, we didn't listen to music from earlier generations...

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    Of course. There are times when one feels a sense of connection to nature and life associated with a sense of awe and often gratitude as when gazing at the night sky and contemplating the dimensions and one's history and connection to those stars. Or when enjoying a beautiful sunset or a...

    Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump?

    Then we nailed it! That's what we were going for. Thanks for noticing,

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    Here is the arrogance your religious beliefs tell you that you are entitled to. You have no special knowledge or inside information. If you want to be understood, use plain language - not poetry. You've explained nothing to me. You've just made assorted assertions and expressed assorted...

    Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump?

    That's a song that has always moved me: "But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?" It still makes me weepy:

    Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump?

    Agreed. Agree again. Still agree. Agreed yet again. Harris has been consistent. She will debate on September 10th, but apparently, just that once. From this comment: "I wonder why Kamala Harris wouldn't want to debate Donald Trump for POTUS 2024?" Are you implying that does not and wouldn't...

    Homophobia

    Au contraire. It is in service to the well-being of society that I advocate for humanist values including tolerance, freedom to pursue happiness as one understands that withing the confines of the law, human development (education), human opportunity, discarding bigotries, and dignity for all...

    Why didn't Kamala Harris want to debate Donald Trump?

    Trump and Biden agreed to two debates, the one that led to his dropping out, and a second one on September 10th on ABC. The terms of the debate(s) need to be mutually agreeable to the two candidates. Trump tried to change them and so did Harris. After Biden dropped out, Trump suggested...

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    Thanks for that, but I still don't see anything substantive there and no reason to investigate this area further. I have yet to read about any concrete benefit or useful insights gleaned from anybody who uses that kind of language. It's always just poetry to me: "the...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Not as I use the word unintended, which to me means that either the process was not directed by a mind or else by a mind that didn't anticipate some outcome. No, but we would say that gravity directed the configuration or motion of a material object Natural selection is a blind process with no...

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    That's just more of that vague language that doesn't seem to be referring to anything at all. For starters, why do that if there is no benefit? And exactly what are you saying with that second sentence? It sounds like a Chinese fortune cookie or a horoscope to me - vague. What soul? What...

    Variations on Wordle for wordies.

    Stop and Alert are different. Before bidding boxes, we used to say, "Skip bid, please wait," which was asking the next bidder to wait ten seconds before acting following a jump bid, which is what you described. Alert means that a bid doesn't have the commonest meaning, which is usually natural...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    Agreed. It's self-evidently true that the profit incentive drives people to do up to these four things, the first three being beneficial and the last requiring laws and regulations to mitigate: People are more creative in order to make more money. Come up with a good idea and you can make bank...

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    That's acceptable because it has to be. Furthermore, as just explained, we don't require them. Relative "truth" is not only within our reach; it suffices to achieve our objectives. However, remember that religion cannot do better or even as well. Faith does not produce knowledge; only...

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    You are incorrect. Human animals have funerals. Your religion teaches you to see the world so darkly. You and I live in the same world, but you see in the most pessimistic of terms like the Jehovah's Witnesses I told you about recently, who didn't know what to say to me after I told them what...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    How much money does anybody need? Whatever the number, more than that is greed. It doesn't just harm others to be trying to accumulate the world's wealth. It hurts the greedy one, too. I'm sure he means Clarence Thomas.

    Homophobia

    OK, but that still doesn't make how others choose to live your business. I found your source: "The institute added similar statistics were found for men: “Specifically, 35% of married men ages 18-55 who have children report being ‘very happy,’ followed by 30% of married men who do not have...
