RE: WHICH RELIGION IS THE TRUE ONE?

Well -1 means nothing. It is like an iou waiting for a positive value to enter the equation.
That's my 2 cents, less of course the -1.

RE: Russian Oil Saloon

RE: GIVE PUTIN ULTIMATUM

Ok, scratch that.
Death by a thousand cuts.
Thanks Mr.Happy.

RE: POLISH HELP for refugees is great.

I heard that Germany is making a great effort to welcome them, with signs in a few languages in train stations and free tickets to all destinations. This allows people to go directly to relatives and friends everywhere within the country and avoids log jams in the major cities. Ukrainians previously arrived in the country in 2014 and are well established there so it makes sense.

RE: GIVE PUTIN ULTIMATUM

I detected a bitterness maybe even hatred in his tone when he spoke about Ukrainians. He feels they took a lot of financial support from Russia since '95 and then switched allegiance to Europe. He used the same tone when speaking about the Bolshevics. I think he now wants to cause a lot of damage and will settle for a pre industrial Ukraine, as a sourse of mineral wealth and farming land, plus of course a buffer zone.

RE: I am Calling All Bible-Expert-CS Bloggers

If you weren't so smug and read the link you would have found your answer. It seems that your purpose here is to be judgemental of those who respond.

RE: You know the saying it never rains but it pours?

Yes, he might have sounded guilty on the phone.

RE: If CS never existed...

Unfazed, "I am learning lots of new stuff and finding out that I don't want to know some things I once thought I did."

This is the most thought inspiring statement I have ever heard.

RE: WHICH RELIGION IS THE TRUE ONE?

I religiously follow my godless lifestyle.

RE: The Temporary Girlfriend

Misschelli,
Luckily there are many potential good matches.
I would say that someone from your home country would be a better candidate, for example:

If you are in your home country and start a relationship with a foreigner there are differences:
Cultural and religous differences between you two.
Potential race difficulties for him to cope with.
Possibility of home sickness for him.
Possible reasons requiring him to return home.

This also applies to you in another country but now all the difficulties are on you, and to some extent on your husband and children.

Some people take these things in their stride so it's up to you, but no harm thinking it through.

A friend of mine had to relocate to Australia with his wife after 20 years because home sickness got so bad for his wife. The whole family had to go and readjust their lives, leaving family and friends preparing for an unknown future in a foreign land.

I've seen foreigners here and I've been away and been a foreigner. It's not all bad but it adds complications to a complex union between two people.
Best of luck.

RE: GUNS!!!!

With the exception of school shootings I doubt if gun crime is associated with licenced firearms in the USA. In Ireland we have gun crime with handguns which aren't available to buy or licence.
Without the availability of guns we have a ready supply of knives. We had a city called 'stab city'.
We also had crossbows until they were banned.
As a last resort we still have baseball bats and hurleys or maybe longbows.
So the problem is more complex than the tool. We expect a lot from civilization. The root cause is possibly individual defective mental health.
