i had to go into a office close to a supermarket on a very high traffic expressway with next to no persons on the street anyway ever near.
i see this jw lady about 65 yrs old standing there alone with 2 bags of groceries staring at the catholic church one side across the interstate road and the kh across the other side of the highway.
cross bronx expressway.
Those who haven't experienced a Military Boot Camp simply cannot appreciate the usefulness and necessity of what they consider to be "foul language." That some resort to it occasionally bothers me not at all.
The Navy does a pretty good job of enhancing one's vocabulary. The Marines, on the other hand, have perfected the art.
Reading JunkYardDog's poignant expressions brings back some amazing memories.
We learn not to pass judgment but to be tolerant.
i like trump but i would be reticent wearing that hat.🤠.
Quote from Cofty:
Serious question - When was this time that the word 'again' implies?
Undoubtedly this refers to the Roaring Twenties when Money and its companion The Love of Money were abundant and prosperity was everywhere.
Trump is a wheeler-dealer who is into Money as a True Lover of Money would be. Money is his obsession. His "Deals" are all about Money. And Power. And diverting Money from The Swamp into his own areas of interest.
America is in very deep trouble.
Will Trump make a difference? We'll soon discover how that's gonna shake out. The Swamp is powerful and bloodthirsty.
Where guns aren't available the weapon of choice for mass killings is the knife:

Is it really a "gun problem" or a "people problem?"
i studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.
result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.
pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .
Quote from _Morpheus:
Do dogs and wolves look ANYTHING alike??? Do they behave in similar ways??? Do they live in similar social structures???
Thankfully, for us Dog Lovers, Dogs come in all shapes and sizes; Wondrous diversity! But the Truth is in the DNA. Dogs and Wolves do mate and have offspring which in turn mate and produce offspring. Wolves in fact may be the Loveliest of all Dogs.
In answer to your question above: They do, actually. Their body language is identical.

Some Wolves are naturally attracted to humans and can be easily domesticated. Studies on the Origins of Dogs seems to indicate that Dogs have come from Wolves:

Quote from Simon:
Authority is needed to set boundaries and train people to respect them. Just like training a dog, a lack of authority is often the cause of errant behaviour.
Authority does well with youth who have "normal" conscience and senses of compassion and the ability to empathize. Unfortunately, it does not work with those who seem to lack conscience or compassion. The Psychopath is immune to structured efforts to instill such values.
A School Shooter Video Game:
news in general are supposed to be unbiased.
but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.
any favorites?.
My favorite among the many would be RT. It is very refreshing to see news and programming which encourages Critical Thinking and discusses many topics that the MSM won't touch. Rather reminds me of the "good old days" in America when Journalism was real.
so, i have a guy that is emailing me after listening to my podcast series "this jw life" about my life story before, during, and after being a jw.
this guy happens to be an elder and pioneer serving where the need is greater.
i love this guy.
Quote from Dub Stepped:
I am an atheist now. That doesn't mean that I'm opposed to the concept of a god, it just means that I don't see the evidence for one. I would LOVE for there to be a god. I would LOVE to know that I was created with a purpose.
Then you will not be disappointed when All is Revealed in Due Time. The WTBorg Cult Inc. version of what is to come is quite twisted. The beautiful thing about what is coming is that All Will Be Made Whole and Well. None will be forgotten or left out.
Quote from Smiddy 3:
You do make some good points Old Navy but obviously not all people who play these games and watch these movies act out with them otherwise we would all really be up shit creek.
Agreed. It is truly a fortunate fact that most who indulge in such games are not tempted to act out what they indulge in within the games. But the question remains: Why do we have those kinds of video games which are heavy in violence and killing? Or movies and television programs which portray violent killing and death with impunity? In the early days (until the late 1060s) of movies and television there wasn't so much of an obsession with violence, murder and mayhem as it is done these days.
Is there a connection or not? Where do those who do the shootings and other mass murder events get their ideas? How are they learning how to do it with maximum effectiveness before being either killed or apprehended?
