RE: We are our souls.

I love this quotation and for me it says it all. Others can make or break us if we allow them and unfortunately there are many broken souls in this world still reaching out for love.

As in the words of the song "Love is a many spendoured thing" and sadly difficult to find in today's world of deceit . Having experienced the tidal waves of love in the past I'm now on the shoreline with wonderful friends and content. I have the good memories, the bad,and even the ugly memories but my inner strength carried me through.

Life on earth is about learning lessons .

RE: New word old meaning

About 1 in 500 men are born with Klinefelter Syndrome which is XXY, or XXXY, or XXXXY and so on.

About 1 in 2,500 women are born with Turner Syndrome where the X chromosome is partially, or completely missing. There are many variations.

About 1 in 1,000 men are born with Jacob's syndrome which is XYY.

We have always had multiple genders. Some societies have insisted there are only two genders for convenience, or power and control. Others are more open to individual differences.

Your op really muddles the difference between gender and sexuality, as well as displaying ignorance with respect to genetic gender variations.

If you're struggling with gender, I have a fairly easy solution: if someone presents as a man, say he; if someone presents as a woman, say she; if you're not sure use they.

For example, if someone is wearing a frock and heels, they are presenting as woman. It makes no difference if they are a svelte twinkle-toes, or 6'4" square-jawed rugby player.

Sexuality is who you fancy, not your gender. For those of us who are pansexual, the person is more important than the shape and location of their genitals. Would it be so bad if someone adored you because you are you?

RE: New word old meaning

Again, you misunderstand the nuances of gender and sexuality, not to mention the difference between physical, emotional and intellectual birth right, or choice.

Somebody might be born a woman, but in a male body, or gay in a heterosexual world. Some people make conscious choices.

I don't give a flying feck and it's none of your feckin' business what others choose.

Get over yourself, already.

RE: New word old meaning

If you found my response aggressive, perhaps you should work on your self-confidence rather than try to belittle others to make yourself feel like a man.

See? I've just used the word 'man', but it has no definitive meaning again.

RE: Locking a blog

Nah, you disabled the comments because you're a big girl's blouse.

RE: God Bless the USA !

You are shit stirring OP...lol...
Your efforts to gain attention is comical...it seems you have a limited education background...not just in schooling but in life...I wonder if you ever traveled out of the USA or perhaps just in areas that cater to some who like all inclusive trips with the notion that they keep the locals out...
Kate Smith is dead...leave her out of it...

RE: God Bless the USA !

I had a look at this too and it sure doesn't look like the U.S bears the brunt when you consider the UK's size and payment in comparison to the U.S

RE: God Bless the USA !

Good read Conrad.

Some people need to take their blinkers off.

RE: God Bless the USA !

Get off your high horse gal. The allies won the war including America and not forgetting Russia who also suffered tremendous losses.Your debt was paid in full by 2006

The debt was to be paid off in 50 annual repayments commencing in 1950. Some of these loans were only paid off in the early 21st century. On 31 December 2006, Britain made a final payment of about $83m (£45.5m) to the US and about $23.6m to Canada.

You didn't pull England's butt out of the fire in World War 2 The whole of Europe was involved or have you conveniently forgotten about Italy and Mussolini who allied himself with Germany.

On December 7, 1941, Japan staged a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, decimating the US Pacific Fleet. When Germany and Italy declared war on the United States days later, America found itself in a global war.

Carry on with your lauding of the U.S.A your adopted country,but for goodness sake give it a rest on attacking the U.K in almost every blog you post .

RE: God Bless the USA !

You really should do some homework before you post galrads.

Just to name a few:-

Have you forgotten 911 and the war your country started in Afghanistan Who did you call Blockbusters? No you called in us Brits.

Who started the war in Iraq? Who helped you out, Europe.

You don't keep us as your own economy is in crisis and you only just avoided a recession in 2023 so I'd go easy on all those takeaways if I were you.

RE: God Bless the USA !

God bless all countries of the World or don't we all count.

RE: God Bless the USA !

So you want to withdraw from a treaty that was instigated by America ,for America and Europe.


Who originally proposed NATO?

In May of 1948, Republican Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg proposed a resolution suggesting that the President seek a security treaty with Western Europe that would adhere to the United Nations charter but exist outside of the Security Council where the Soviet Union held veto power.

That 's an extremely selfish attitude about cost cutting when one compares the size of America to the rest of Europe.We are all struggling at the moment in case you haven't noticed.No thanks to our dear friend Putin of course.

RE: God Bless the USA !

I'm neither left ,right or aggressive Grand ,I'm a thinker and please do explain where my post expresses anger.

RE: God Bless the USA !

Can the people who agree with Trump's claims that NATO members aren't paying their 'bills' please be more specific? Which countries owe how much, to whom and for what? Before you put pen to paper ,as
yet ,Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO.

Answers on a postage stamp please.


Militarily and economically, the U.S. is a hugely formidable power. It has the largest nuclear arsenal on earth and continues to be the largest economy in the world. Yet, without its allies in Asia, and above all without those in Europe, the U.S would be a much diminished superpower. For instance, most Western countries purchase their arms and military equipment from the U.S.and that could possibly be diminished if the U.S pulls out of NATO under Trump.

By the way Sweden became NATO's 32nd Ally on 7 March 2024.

RE: Is Europe going to War soon?

He's a palindrome. Not difficult to work out.

RE: Is Europe going to War soon?

Again you are going against comments from the past where you disagreed with Putin attacking Ukraine.

Do you also find it 100% natural that Putin has no potential candidates for the next election and actually ask yourself why?

Are elections rigged in Russia?

Is Russia a democratic country or an authoritarian regime?

Seems some Russians have reached a turning point and are preparing to stand their ground against this dictatorship.

Of course you will naturally call the above propaganda.

Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

Only a stupid fool like BERGHAUS would bother to answer at all!

Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

Just a thought: He thinks he will spend a lot of time in bed with her - she thinks, they will be spending most of their time shopping and shopping - till he drops dead, from exhaustion

RE: Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

It is his lost.
Women around his age will give him a happy, peaceful, and loving relationship.

No wander most of the Men are bitter, they want to achieve what they can't obtain.

RE: Man 64 yr-old man seeking woman, 18-35

Man must be very wealthy and ready to part with his wealth, or absolutely delusional. May be both...lol...what he means by “education” I don’t know. Why on earth young woman wants 40 years older dude instead of her age?!
