@TD: I think the answer to your question, at least for me, is “No”.

My Prediction: Trump Wins Big
by minimus ina month ago it might have been questionable.
not now.
after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

His biggest weakness is that he doesn't completely act in accordance to federal politics, which always gets him into trouble.
Believe it or not, I really like posts like this one. There is an attempt to state... something. You don’t like Trump - got it. And you are trying to say “here’s a problem” - great. But it brings with it a plethora of strange implications.
What does it mean to “completely act in accordance to federal politics”? Above you said that his lack of acting in accordance to “federal politics” is his “biggest weakness”.
Is there a list of rules called “code of federal politics”? Can you list, perhaps, some violation of this code that causes “weakness”?

The Power Of Unconditional Love
by 1234 inthe most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.
no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.
watch any mother with its new born baby.

Yes, I guess that's the case if you don't get it.
So, one of the reasons you’ve been getting push back is because there seems to be platitudes stacked upon weak definitions. When you say “unconditional” it means “without conditions”. Conditions can be anything - literally anything.
The vast majority of "love" on this planet is conditional love. Meaning if you do "this or that" Then I will love you.
That is one form of conditional love. It’s a form of affirmative condition. There could be negative conditions too - “Don’t do X or else I won’t love you”. For example, if you marry a woman, love the woman, and then one day come home to find her banging the neighbor it puts a damper on things. Perhaps you then find out she has been sleeping lots of other men, and the one child you have together isn’t really yours, yet she pursues you in court for alimony and child support. Are you saying that if the man really had “true” love, it wouldn’t be conditional? The man would just continue to love her? The condition in this case negative is: “Don’t fuck other guys” (among others).
In the example of mother and child the condition is the biological relationship shared. After all, the mother doesn’t have that love for other babies.
In your statement above (“Meaning if you do ‘this or that’ Then I will love you.”), you are really citing a form of emotional manipulation. It is very similar to “If you love me, you will have sex with me.”) I would agree that isn’t really loving - it is manipulation.
You divide love up into two categories “conditional” and “unconditional”. And the “unconditional” kind you associate with manipulation. You are conflating ideas.
If that is the only kind of love you know of how do you explain unconditional love to someone.... you can't, there is point of reference.
You can use words. It’s possible. Write more descriptive sentences. See what happened when you tried to expound above? Suddenly it seemed clear you were conflating ideas.
Yet it exist.... believe in it or not.
Sure, if you mean “manipulation-free love”. That definitely exists. That’s exists in the majority of relationships. The manipulative kind is, by definition, dysfunctional.

"Jesus wept"
How do you explain other dimensions to people locked into a 3-D world?
What is that supposed to mean? Are you claiming that you perceive truths beyond our grasp?
The Power of Unconditional Love
We don’t know much, but what we do know is that the power of love is a curious thing. It makes one man weep and, yet, another man sing. It doesn’t take money, nor fame. You don’t need a credit card to ride that train. It’s strong and sudden, and cruel sometimes. But, in the end, it might just save your life.

Yeah, I went through about 50% of it. It doesn’t look like any information is requested that might personally identify you, and it is hosted at a known survey management site.
Nevertheless, I think it is a positive sign that the first “gut” reaction was skepticism and a suspicion of a fraud/scam.

This survey was also posted some time ago on reddit.
It's legit and I have answered the questions.
I wasn’t going to do it. But since it has been posted on Reddit, it must be safe.

So which God are you worshiping? The pissed off teenager or the woman with her child.
So your god is a Hitler lover?

My guess is that this young man went home proud that he followed through on the precise course of action praised by pretty much every garbage rap song these days. According to everyone he looks up to, he did exactly what he should have done.

I watched the video. It looks like a young pre-teen (he looks short). And of course runs away with his pants half way down his ass - true to the current cultural rot.

Is There a Higher Conscious
by LetTheTruthBeKnown inmost of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.
