RE: can you be a muslim and british?

Just to clarify that last rather ludicrous statement; Debates by Catholics including within the Vatican questioned the temptations for Roman Catholics to vote as the religion represented a Kingdom and Kingdoms with Monarchs were held to be representative of the Kingdom Of Heaven with Christ as King. Voting in a liberal democracy was understood to be anti Monarchial and anti Catholic. The Kingdom of God was not a democracy or even a liberal one. No mobs ruled over Christ. The Vatican as a whole, in it's wisdom finally after much arguing and philosophizing finally gave in to allow Roman Catholics to vote.
Some, either very conservative or those of the old Aristocracy refuse to lower themselves to the levels of the mob. They will not deign to vote for obvious reasoning. They barely recognize the modern set-up of countries that have, to them, excluded them from their inherent rights to govern simply based on birth. This i=must be extremely difficult for an outsider to understand, let alone comprehend. And so, the 'reluctance' remains to either participate or publicly acknowledge that ruling a former Catholic Country depends upon the moods of the lower classes or what is tantamount to mob rule. While our respective Kingdoms may be gone, our standards remain.

RE: Lessons learned

On the one topic that gives the greatest fun,pleasure...doing "Political Cartoons"; I would show them what to specifically target in any and all depictions be it physical or known traits...for example, President Trumpleforskin,(name derived from Rumpelstiltskin story; my name for Trump), his hair, lip formations, eyes, snout/ nose, etc. etc.

RE: IS TRUTH BEING ERADICATED?

Promoters of lies, distortions and untruths/ lies usually claim they are simply engaged in conveying 'information' . What they are actually and essentially doing is showing themselves to be liars and fakes.What they primarily care about is whether what they say/ claim is effective in accomplishing this manipulation. Correspondingly, they are more than less, indifferent to whether what they say or whether it is fake/ false or outright lies.
Being indifferent to truth is an undesirable, even reprehensible and those kind should be avoided and condemned. People that show no actions to their being manipulated are complacent as complacency shows that truth is not as important at all and that there is no particular strong reason for any of us to care...
How then can we fail to taketh importance of factuality and of reality seriously? How can we fail to care about the truths. We simply cannot.

RE: Real interest or time wasting?

Honestly, I would say many people are. I know I am and I find it disheartening that someone either does not ready my post and emails me based on my photo. Read the post!!! I am not a "God fearing Trump loving'" woman. I think my profile alludes to that.



AHHH a ray of sunshine...there is hope, finally!

RE: Hypothetical situation

Ha! Good! And to which 'world' would you like the portal door opened?? I can think of several...since childhood, Mars...to explore all the ruins and build sand castles... and certainly the actual world of all our ancient Gods/ Creators...to see and study it; learn their history and their origins...or baring those, the restaurant at the end of the galaxy...(ever read Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy??? )

RE: Religion - how much are you willing to compromise?

RE: Religion - how much are you willing to compromise?

Having travelled to many parts of the world I was always surprised at the numbers of people from similar, different and even radically different religious backgrounds have married and made delightful marriages together. Sometimes one will convert to the other's , sometimes not as they were both satisfied with their own and did not affect their love and dedication to each other. In the turbulent Middle East I was astounded at how many mixed marriages between Jews and Arabs take place, even among the families of very opposing sides of the continual wars breaking out and over the whole question of Palestine; Israeli General Moshey Dayan was related to the family of Yasser Arafat by marriage for instance. It raised no eyebrows there. A large number of Arab and Israely families are intertwined via marriages and is perfectly normal. With Europeans, since we entered the Middle East to fight the Crusades, Christians and Arabs have intermarried, especially during the times when Lebanon had been a Crusader Kingdom and with families that fought for Saladin. Many Crusaders brought back Muslim wives and their children, even into the far north of Norway. Conversions take place if good people are open to learning the religions and teachings of another one provided they have good teachers whereas conversions by the sword never work out nor are beneficial to anyone . I met several prominent Palestinian families that traced their ancestry back to a Knight from France, Germany and Spain, 2 still had their ancestors's swords and Israeli relatives via cousins...seems that love, real love does manage rather well to blend both families and religions with respect and tolerance which are seemingly opposed by political and religious bigots that have no comprehension of the powers of love. I also met some whose families split over politics but have no problems at family feasts be they Arab or Israeli. They have more in common in their respective religions than not as they recognize that both the Christian Bible and the Muslim Koran can benefit both; that both religions are based on love provided one's eyes and heart are open to understanding them. Fanatics and 'hotheads' are exiled until they can 'grow-up'...

RE: Hypothetical situation

More than likely, I'd go for it. I love the ideas, concepts and all current experiments with both Time Travel and the Multi-verse theories of which my instinct says that they are true. I have wished for years for a Ufo landing; they would not have to force me on board, I'd chance it for a glimpse at their world. They have a habit of showing up in all war zones around the world as witnessed by countless soldiers, journalists, etc. ever since the Korean War. Trying to approach their vehicles undetected is impossible and they usually lift off as they pick up our electrical brain waves or so I've been told by those whose business it is to assume that they know... Try and try again, I say!

RE: American Accents...

Belly inte-resting... As a child my father had me imitate all the various European languages and accents without ever knowing what I was saying...just the proper pronunciations and accents. By age 9 he started me on various geographic accents of the US...those were hilarious. He had me listen to speeches and I would practice by reading from various books until I was able to learn to speak Americanese as opposed to proper English. My mother thought it was all nuts . Years later I was told he was working for the CIA and by 14 I assumed he thought that one day I would too...HA! He finally gave up on that idea...
I once met a man that had spent years roaming the mountains of Appalachia learning all the colloquial languages and accents from Maine to Arkansas. He was so good he could pin-point which contain they had come from...wow! Amazing talent. No, he didn't work for the CIA, in fact he became their target...

RE: …Do women want to be judged on their looks?

One sure way to enhance their egos leaving out their looks is by their seckual gymnastics...or the lack of thereof; those that just lie there like some sort of doll and never utter a sound...

RE: If u look back on ur life - Was it Boring / Interesting in ur book ?

Same problems here, way too much publicity at times with TV shows, interviews and newsprint stories , (mostly wrong and in some cases, totally made-up. Thankfully those days are long over for me. I really hated having to wear a disguise to simply go shopping...because of all the nutcases and other assorted psychos that crawl out of their garbage bins. I chose to travel all the roads that no sane person would ever dream of taking and the tolls were at times rather heavy, not only for myself but for others also. Hopefully the next life will be much better.

RE: What a waste of manpower, the cost is astronomical

Well, that is one reason that you are not a 'terrorist'...so you can't think like one...simple.
If you did, you know that security of any type depends on idiot ten-a cop types with neither experience in actually dealing with a real terrorist or even having taken a course in combat pistol techniques and most likely doesn't even have his own weapon and has never even fired one. This is what most communities depend on; there are no excess/ surplus police officers with anti terrorist training available to be posted at all public events in all communities; from a public swim at the local 'Y' or a party open to all at some local dive in some rinky-dink town or city. Any local yokel with any sort of grudge against a merchant or no one in particular can simply sit on a roof of a downtown area and fling off home made or military type hand grenades landing in streets. Nothing elaborate; keeping it simple. Next 'rent-a-cop'/ security guard you see, usually overweight in a sloppy uniform and feeding his face, ask yourself, 'Can this creature protect anyone??" Welcome to reality...

RE: Astrology

I was suspended for awhile in high school for making up signs for 2 new courses inviting students to sign up for and posted them all over the school which caused hundreds to line up at the designated classroom for sign ups. The 2 courses were "Asstronomy 101" and for "Asstrology, the studies of Heavenly Bodies'....ahh yes, the bright ideas of youth.... A lot of students, mostly male, were rather disappointed no such classes existed...

RE: Old love memories

At some point in time there will be a time when you are alone with no love to receive ever again. Sometimes a few memories will sot have the same impact as a memento; a letter or an old photo that you can look at and actually remember a time , a special someone actually did love you...that memory can can bestow on you a little more time to borrow; to perhaps meeting them again...
