  1. I think it's more accurate to say that religious people tend to be *obsessed* with sex.

    Bingo! One of the presidential candidates a few years back, Rick Santorum was incredibly obesees with homosexual anal sex. To the point where it became a popular saying that he thinks about gay sex a hundred times more than gay people think about gay sex.

    If they make it so hard to bring up children and you can see their future as nothing more than burning on the greed driven pyres of the rich and greedy, why play the game.

    Your attitude is not unique. Many men have chosen to drop out of that game. In a huge social experiment started in the 1980's woen were taught form a very young age that men are rapists, and pedophiles - all of them, and young males were taught that anything a woman thinks is sexual harassment - is by definition sexual harassment, and "you better not go raping women you rapist pedophile".

    By and large, for many years, men just went along with it. But then a problem developed. Now that sitting with your legs too far apart makes you a symbol of rapist culture (man spreading) http://everydayfeminism.com/20... it has become pretty clear that women by and large simply do not like men, and a majority of them hate men. From this article http://femmagazine.com/2015/03... - “Manspreading” is essentially part of rape culture."

    Let's face it - if the way you sit causes a female outrage, and she is validated if she thinks you are the equal of a person who would force sexual intercourse on her. She hates men badly.

    So we had that problem. Most men have no intention of physically violating women, yet they have been part of the all men are evil cultural experiment. Given that most divorces are initiated by women, and the initiator almost always wins the lion's share of the proceedings, and most marriages end in divorce. A normal heterosexul guy might be forgiven if he just bags the whole thing. One thing is for certain - you end up with a lot more money in the bank.

    Regardless, I'm not certain if it is a good idea to download this or not. It's probably NASA trying to get as much of their data out there before they are cleansed of scientists who do not straighten up and fly right. Which is apparently what is happening with the AGW data as well. This stuff might be illegal soon.

    100% positive there is a correlation of those unhappy people being single vs non-single (even more so being childless and single vs families)...which is what facebook whoring seems mostly about.

    Could be a chicken and egg thing. A lot of men are choosing to remain single because the cards are stacked against them, and present day young women have been raised on a steady diet of misandry since they were young, and are mostly pretty unpleasant to be around, so it's kind of understandable that men are a little harder to get. My single male friends are either really happy or putting up a big front, and the older single females - not so much. The lament is "Where did all the good men go?" Well - it's like Yogi Berra said, "..if they aren't going to go there, there's no way you are going to stop them."

  7. Social media is a part of life but people need to accept each social media site as only a fun fad and not commit so much emotion or effort to it.

    If only. Since I resisted FB for years, and only signed up when I needed to for the various projects I work on, I had a little different perspective. Well, my relatives found me, and I have to say that they run the gamut, but all are overly involved. From the over-sharer, who apprently shares every single thing she does on the internet - quickly unfollowed, to the drama queen who posts cryptic messages like "I can't stand it any more" and then everyone else holds her in their prayers, to the overly politicized who post endless trumphillary bullshit. Then there is the chain letters of the interent age, and a couple endless outrage third wave feminists.

    All in all, these were people who used to be pretty darn nice. Now they are all screwed up. I find myself visiting the non required groups less and less.

  10. The prevalence of opiate addiction in the US is absolutely no justification for the pressure on doctors not to prescribe opiates. The drugs meant to replace opiates are fine supplements but worthless as replacements. It's sad there are addicts in the world and it is a real medical problem, we shouldn't deny even one person who an opiate would be marginally more effective at managing their pain that opiate to reduce the number of addicts. Especially because those measures don't work.

    Which by the way, brings up one of the major failures of the war on drugs. Opiates. Many of the people who are now hooked on heroin, were once vicodin et al patients. So they get cut off from relatively benign drugs (the acetaminophen in Vicodin is more harmful) and turn to cheaper and illegal heroin. It's not the only group of course. But if people are using something like vicodin for a long time, th euse needs monitored and a withdrawal program needs to start.

    One ting is for certain, there are two groups that want as many drugs as possible to be illegal. That's drug cartels and politicians. On this matter, they are on the same side.

  11. I went to the ER once with what was probably a pinched nerve. I was having a pain that, at that time, was the worst pain I'd ever felt in my life. After the ER finally decided I wasn't a drug seeker they gave me a shot of something. I remember laughing out loud and telling my wife that it didn't do a thing for the pain because I could tell it was a bad as it ever was but I just didn't care any more. It was awesome.

    Ahh - good times! 8^)

    I know for the short time I had the burst of euphoria before geiing ill, it felt damn good.

  12. Morphine or another strong opiods, That's what they do that make them valuable dispite being addictive. They make you not care about pain or unpleasant things.

    Not in this case at least. Opioids and I don't get along well, they dull the pain a little, then a momentary rush of euphoria, followed immediately by the room taking a 90 degree shift, and me breaking out in a sweat and puking.

    Not certain why, but I'd be the last person to develop a opiate addiction.

    Hmm, could be liver failure.

    So let me get this straight. You and your cancers upon humanity fire American Workers, and bring in more qualified Foreign workers.

    Seems like if you want foreign workers, badly enough, you pay them the same as you paid the American workers. I suspct the American workers will suddenly become more "technically qualified."

    I would probably be less comfortable with a vr headset on. I've watched myself be cut open once and stitched up 7 times, always with a keen sense of curiosity and interest. It's never freaked me out in the slightest, probably the same reason I've needed to be patched up so much. Well, the one time I was only getting five stitches and the ER was really busy so I got left for an hour and a half after being anesthetized, the doctor said to just suck it up even though it had basically worn off.

    I thought I was going to be the only one who was more curious than freaked out. The one time I had a more major operation I was asked, and I said I damn well wanted to be awake. So a happy shot and spinal, and I bugged the surgeons the whole time. I don't think they are used to their patients carrying on conversations with them.

    After one of my many Hockey accidents, I had to get a bunch of metal put into my lower leg and near my ankle. During prep for surgery, they gave me a nice shot of "I don't give a damn". It wasn't a pain killer, but I gotta tell ya, I was one unconcerned person. With that, and a spinal tap. I was awake for the whole procedure. A little foggy, but I was conversing the whole time with the surgeons.

    It was actually kinda cool, because I had questions about the various machinery they were using. They told the wife I must either be a scientist or an engineer for all my yapping. Regardless, without the shot of happy juice, I wouldn't have had such an enjoyable experience. Wish I knew what it was.

    But I've been around long enough to know with nearly 100 percent certainty that facts are remarkably flexible things in the world outside of science, because so many people are not interested in hearing truth, they are interested in hearing what they believe. So what they want to believe becomes the fact. And a fact checker that reports something not in accordance with their sphere of belief becomes a liar of whatever political stripe that they need to demonize. This is whether well documented and credible "facts" are involved or not.
