Then why not prevent 100 malaria cases

It's trying to pay off the house by 40, retire by 55 and all of these ridiculous financial goals utilizing finances as security, when in the grand scheme, the feeling of security is fleeting. It is very interesting, that I felt richer in college, with a negative net worth, and no money whatsoever than I do now.
You may want to study the concept of Tanhā:

Taṇhā appears in the Four Noble Truths, wherein taṇhā is the cause of dukkha (suffering, pain, unsatisfactoriness) and the cycle of repeated birth, becoming and death (Saṃsāra).[1][2][4]

What's a few browns growing up never knowing who or where their parents are?

Who cares if foreign policy is being dictated by the Kremlin? That the relationship and trust we've built with our traditional allies over decades has been completely eroded?

Totally worth it so he and his deplorable brethren have a few extra dollars in their retirement fund.

The key is you get them young and teach them about a higher power with books of fiction. Slowly you wean them off Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny but keep telling them they will go to an evil place forever unless they worship and give 10%. Worked on me for 40 years.

Imagine if you could not teach religion till a person was an adult?


How you can believe that's the guy God choose ? Slim pickens

A lot of people are sociopaths to some extent. I think you underestimate how many people read this and smirk and say "yup, pretty much!" while trying to think of how to respond to make themselves appear like a normal person with empathy.

Trump not knowing about DVRs might be the only thing saving our country right now.

I picture him as more of a VCR guy (top loading, with a remote connected by wire)

Blinking 12:00.

Impossible, the good ones have high speed cameras that look at impact

Curious whether TheDonald and/or CP have a defense for this

It’s been widely reported that Trump knows how to use a TiVo.

Something something Uranium One lock the ***** up - get over your pathological hatred of Trump - deep state lies - it's better than open boarders and baby murder.

My son's march towards atheism was unguided by my hands. Any time he would bring up things like hell, or heaven, or god and the devil etc, I would respond with something like "Well what do you think about that." And he would tell me what his friends had been saying and I would say "Thats a really interesting way to look at it, does that make sense to you?" And he would most times say "Im not sure" or "I dont know." And I would say "Some of the coolest things about the world around us is that very often, we dont know how or why something is, so we look for answers."

Hes eleven now, and on the fast track to getting deep into the sciences. He wants to be an astrophysicist. We are taking our first trip to LA in a couple months and he might be more excited for the Griffith Planetarium than he is for Disneyland (maybe, they are probably a toss up right now.)

Watching him discover and explore and want to know more about the world HAS to be more rewarding than filling your kid's head with a bunch of garbage and watching them repeat it back to you with no congitive thought.

Back to the dog thing for a moment, I would bet some dollars that Trump has never had a pet. If I lost that bet, it would be because he begrudgingly let one of his wives have a pet, but he never wanted to have anything to do with it.

I'm Jewish. Went to Sunday school, Hebrew school, had a Bar Mitzvah, my grandfather was president of our synagogue (and taught Sunday school before I was born - Bud Selig was a student of his), etc.

I send my kids to Sunday school and Hebrew school and they will have Bar/Bat Mitzvahs (save the dates just went out for one of them), but at the same time, none of us really believe in god/religion. We're probably going to let our kids stop going to religious school after their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. My son bought into the whole god thing initially, but he pretty quickly decided it didn't make sense.

It's kind of dumb, I know. I guess, like a lot of things we do in life, we're kind of doing it as an obligation, partly to not piss off our parents, partly because...I don't know. Judiasm is a bit different, as there is very much a cultural/community part that is separate from the religious part. And the nice thing is that my wife, whose family was completely unpracticing, has really enjoyed the community aspect of joining a synagogue. I really like our rabbi, too. Just chatted with him yesterday. And I appreciate our synagogue - it's extremely welcoming. It's even expressly pro-LGBTQ - there used to be something on the website about it, but I can't find it now. I know there's a flier about LGBTQ issues posted in the hallway at temple.

In the long run it's gonna cost them money. Just think about John Bolton telling a textbook narcissist how great war with Iran will be for his approval rating.

Or how about all the people that resort to pushing crack for a living because Trump won't raise the minimum wage? Or the people who have given up on life and choose to smoke crack because they make $8/hr. Then many of these people end up in prison and Awval pays for their meals and ensures they can't work and share some of the tax burden.

Or all the people who are stressed out that Trump won't do anything about climate change? Instead of working and having hope for the future, now they're all in WAAF mode and day drinking wondering how they'll commit suicide when **** hits the fan.

None of this will be good for Awval's retirement plan

Many Christians simultaneously believe both in predetermination AND that you have to choose to allow JC into your heart to be saved.

Aside: Physicists and (some) Christians agree on a thing!
