Is it just me.......

Is it just me or is there an inordinate amount of creepy dudes on this site? I think this site should publish the names of the scammers out in the open so they won't collect anymore crucial information to add to their secretive lists they're working on daily. I'm aware that they will probably create a new improved version of scum and repopulate once again but someone should be proactive regarding the matter.

How do you feel?

acknowledging our mistakes

Life is never easy. If anything, it is a journey of so much twist and turns and at the end of the day we are wrung like a fabric, all too worn and dry. Then our mistakes, oh...don't we have them? With all the test and struggles that we go through, these shortcomings are but part of our imperfect life. The question is? When we do make them, do we have the guts to accept and own our responsibility? Or does pride gets into us and refuse to acknowledge them?

I do make a lot of them, but I do know that I don't hesitate to ask for forgiveness as soon as I realize what I have done.


I also know that the road to a healthy relationship sometimes depends on our willingness to accept our faults and work towards establishing an effort to correct our mistakes.

How long would it take, after a misunderstanding has occurred, for you to acknowledge such an effort? How critical is it if any, is the implication on the timing?

Are there moments, when afterwards, realize our errors, have made us say: "Why did I do that?" then what would you do to fix it?
Or do we let it fly in time and forget it happened?

Thanks for all your contributions and participation.

Very Very disturbing....

I watched a link that Bali provided and as I watched it, I felt a cold shiver down my spine. Now, before I get deeper here let me say my knowledge in this area of the Muslim world is as close to my knowledge as performing brain surgery. I've never been to the ME never knew or met a Muslim so my information base as I said is severely limited.

Listening to this video created many thoughts in my mind. One of which is an area that I thought was a holy sanctum 'the Mosque' was a place to learn about their God. This video proved otherwise, it reminded me of the beginning as Hitler was assembling his army of terrorists.

I also thought that having Saudi Arabia as a USA ally was a good thing for the aid in keeping peace in the ME. I no longer think this.

As the video describes that they are promoting the s*xual intercourse of 9 year old girls and hitting them and their wifes for not wearing the proper clothing etc.....wow....just plain wow.....who would have known this is what is being taught in addition to the acts of terrorism.....

Now, like in Germany during WWII there were good Germans and bad ones. Millions of people didn't die at the hands of a few. The same thing holds true here, I guess, there are good Muslims and bad ones. But, if they're teaching the young these types of uncivilized behaviors someday in the future all hell will break loose.

I will not comment here, as prior stated, my knowledge is limited and I don't have the time.....but it was quite an awakening for me, thank you Bali..


Here is Bali's link..http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/the-film-that-uncovers-what-is-really-happening-in-mosques-across-the-uk/

Liberals or Leftists

1.7 million new voters will be deposited in Red States to not only infect the people but water down the Republican majority. Why else would democrats allow the sovereignty of our nation to become compromised? We know this to be the reality, the intention.... there is no altruistic reason, no concern for its citizens, no concern for our Constitution/laws, no care for the spread of a disease manufactured by the Chinese and now spread knowingly by the democratic party to your families. These are not liberals, these are "radical extreme", leftists!! Don't confuse the misguided liberal snowflakes with the hard-core democratic socialists who intend to 'reset' America along the paths of big government 'globalist control' of your lives(Soros). Are you willing to effectively trade places with the Chinese citizens and become second class citizens? Keep voting for the democrats and you'll get your wish...zombies.

The Missing Mirror

It's been months since I used the public toilet beside that train station. It has 2 toilet cubicles with western style toilets and 2 wash basins with a set of rectangular mirrors. But if possible I try to evade using it since most of the time, there's an annoying amount of liter like cigarette butts and ash , candy wrappers and all sorts of wrappers. What a pity because it is relatively new and there's always an abundant supply of toilet paper. Things that I wish my home country has. So when I used it early this week, I was surprised that the 2 rectangular mirrors are gone. Not sure if someone stole them or that the amenity group maintaining those toilets got fed up with clogged inlet since most young women spend time in front of the mirror grooming themselves without disposing properly hair strands inside the wash basin. Somehow I miss those mirrors since I get to admire myself at least twice a day. Now, how could I do such act of humility without those mirrors? Another fault of covid!grin

What could you do with 240 billion $

I live in Norway, but what I say is similar in other European countries. There are certain freedoms.

For example, I don't have to worry about hospital bills or educational cost. I do not even see the bill, or need to worry.
You have full payed 4 weeks holiday, mother and father have payed leave if they get a child, etc.

A modern car has lot built into it, and it is the same with the country you live in. A dragster is not a sensible family car, but very fun for some. Those on Wall Street seem inclined to prefer it, and tout everybody in America about the perils of socialism and other scares. But for common people, you need a sensible car.

I worked awhile in United States, and was simply appalled by the condition that people struggled with. The criminal correctional system resembles something out of the dark ages. I did experience some co-workers needing surgery, but could not afford it. And when pain just got unbearable, they got drugs on the street. They didn't last long.

If United States would quit messing about, would limit their defense budget to what other NATO countries use, I estimate you would have 240 billion $ - why not invest in your own people ? Why not build a society as most other countries ?

Sure, it isn't perfect anyplace, but America is a whole different chapter. News, television, commercials, Hollywood, business, everybody is spellbound by something they call the "American dream" - It's there somewhere, over the rainbow, Emerald city, - a fata morgana. It's like religion, in which you are promised paradise in some afterlife, if you just do the suffering here and now. In fact, it is the false prophets, as this place could be so much better if we want it to. What could you do with 240 billion dollar ? Even if you spent them on just some fun, buying ice cream for all the kids, having a party - it would be much better then waging wars.

I don't think Iran or Iraq, Afghanistan or any other really have the desire to send troops to the United States in order to wage war upon you. I don't think American people wants to wage war upon others either, but a few men are - the industrial military complex and business men on Wall street. They were actively involved in Germany and Russia, in Vietnam and all over. It gave business opportunity for the selected few. Your tax relief are used by companies that produce their products in China, enabling China to develop their military might, have sold them a re-branded "American dream", to make sure that your children and grandchildren will have a challenge as well. Can you not come up with a better "dream" ?

I wish my English was much better. I envy some of you here, because mine isn't that good. I was bullied even by my english teachers as I didn't speak proper English. They used me as example of how you shouldn't speak. It was never easy to be a kid from United States.

Oh, well ...there is always the unattainable dream we long for, and for most of my life it was to get back home. But my childhood America is gone, things have changed, and it is also frightening if you are about to get your dream come true. I can understand people who has been locked up for too long in jail, may feel scared leaving.

But I cannot resist reacting when I hear obvious falsehood and lies told to people, or what I believe they are.

In Genius Move, Trump Supports Impeachment, Forcing Democrats To Oppose

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The impeachment hearings have been thrown into chaos after President Trump announced that he supports impeachment, forcing Democrats to oppose their own impeachment inquiry.

"Impeachment? I'm for it. Great idea. Best idea, maybe ever," he said, adding that he's "getting kinda sick of all this winning anyway."

"Sure, why not. Impeach me. I love it. Whatever. Now I'm gonna go watch Joker again. Great film. What's that guy's name? Phoenix something. Bob Phoenix, that's it. Tremendous actor---absolutely perfect."

Democrats quickly condemned his statements. Pelosi said, "It's clear that Trump wants to be impeached because he's not good at being president. Well, we're going to show him a thing or two by forcing him to stay in the White House and finish out his term."

"And Joker is alt-right propaganda," she said, falling for Trump's ploy to make Dems condemn one of the most successful, beloved films of the year.

One pundit on CNN suggested that Trump is supporting impeachment at the request of Putin or the guy from Ukraine or "whichever conspiracy thing we're pushing this month, I forget."

At publishing time, Democrats had also withdrawn from the 2020 race to teach Trump a lesson.

TRUMP DOES THE UNTHINKABLE. by Liz Crokin

As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.
Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.
In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick
Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief-stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach ,
Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who as the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and
began admitting Jews and blacks.
In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
