You should know me well enough by now CC to know that I do not agree with US Imperialism. I have never agreed with the platform that we should be the world police, or that we should tell other countries how to live.
The US needs to solve its own problems. It does not need foreign nationals attempting to tell us what we need. We do not need to be well informed about the rest of the world to solve these domestic issues, we need to maintain our own sovereignty in the face of so many globalist minded individuals who think they know what's best for us, but don't have to live with the consequences of those possibly well-intended, but ultimately naive arguments from ignorance.
This is not a binary solution "we need/we don't need". There are third options, none of which will originate in the mind of Foreign Nationals. They will arise from people who will actually have to live with the unintended consequences of those solutions.
I respect your opinion. I just don't think your vision of what America needs is as cut and dried as you present them. Nor will you have to pay for them, from your tax euro.
Not much call for the survival skills I have in Ohio for sure, but I'm not originally from Ohio. Oregon has large areas that are still wilderness, and that's where and why I've gained the skills I have.
On another note. I don't fly much. I got to Ohio by train. So really the idea of a plane crash where I'd be deserted is rather slim to begin with...
The best survival skill is to minimize the risk of needing to without modern technology.
I don't REALLY know anyone well enough other than myself and my own survival related skills.
Has anyone here actually made a water lens to concentrate sunlight and make fire, or know some other way to make fire without matches or a bic?
Do you know how to make a water collection device to gather condensation at dawn for fresh water, as sea water is undrinkable? etc. These are the questions I'd like to know.
Physical fitness and knowledge are two separate things, as well as the practical application of that knowledge.
Survivor is just a show, and "Lost" is fiction. I was in the Scouts when I was younger, and lived off the grid for a long time, took Survival training courses where I learned a lot from being dropped into the wilderness with just a knife and a few other bare essentials.
1)Water 2)Food 3)Shelter
Are immediate needs, and that which should be concentrated on first. The hope of rescue comes secondary to making sure you don't dehydrate or starve, and freezing to death, or going crazy from constant exposure to the elements.
I'd be quite happy to. I've advocated all along for a strictly US forum on CS. As for US bases in your country, I'm a Libertarian and I don't particularly like our country playing policeman to the rest of the world, or "contaminating" other countries.
I'm all for an isolationist US. Trouble is, my country has politicians. And you know how that goes.
Whatever. I'm out of this useless debate between people who like to argue for no apparent reason other than there's nothing good on the telly and housework doesn't appeal. Time for me to do something more important. Like dishes. Or...I know....Laundry...yeah. Definitely more important than this debating in a vacuum.
This is the problem with International forums. It's an American (make that USA issue as America is the name of a set of continents) issue. Y'all are entitled to your opinions, but this is a sovereign issue of the United States and the Constitution as it is written here, not Australia, Ireland or for that matter, Mars.
Dig how China (the most repressive nation in the world) wants us to give up our Second Amendment rights...sure they do. That will make it easier for them to take over. Same with the UN. Always champing at the bit for the surrendering of sovereignty in all Nations. Y'all like it in your countries and that's fine. I don't bash Ireland, Australia or any other country. Or tell you how your countries should be run. Please extend the same courtesy. And Please, please, please, take Piers back...
You might want to look into Synchronicity and how it may tie in with quantum mechanics, as described by Carl Jung in collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli.
"Even at Jung's presentation of his work on synchronicity in 1951 at an Eranos lecture, his ideas on synchronicity were still evolving. Following discussions with both Albert Einstein and Wolfgang Pauli, Jung believed that there were parallels between synchronicity and aspects of relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Jung was transfixed by the idea that life was not a series of random events but rather an expression of a deeper order, which he and Pauli referred to as Unus mundus. This deeper order led to the insights that a person was both embedded in an orderly framework and was the focus of that orderly framework and that the realisation of this was more than just an intellectual exercise, but also having elements of a spiritual awakening. From the religious perspective, synchronicity shares similar characteristics of an "intervention of grace". Jung also believed that in a person's life, synchronicity served a role similar to that of dreams, with the purpose of shifting a person's egocentric conscious thinking to greater wholeness." - Wikipedia
Pretty much like anywhere else. You have to put yourself out there. There was a time when I posted a lot of my poetry in the forums, long before they made a special area for it.
It attracted many admirers and friends. So my advice is, play to your strengths, whatever they may be.
I don't post so much anymore. Trying to cut down. I'm on a diet.
A long, long time ago, in a version of the internet far, far away...there was me. And now...there's us.
IF this is to work for anyone, limits have to be flexible, as from Ohio to Oregon and back to Ohio has this journey through space time has taken me, and us...I am not on this site for a relationship anymore, as that part of the equation has been simplified.
I stand as a testimony that this site can work...if you have an open mind, and are not geographically prejudiced.
Bohm's interpretation certainly has a potential for holographic elements. However, there are also the Everett interpretations and the classic Copenhagen interpretations that compete with a holographic reality, wherein the data is the same but the non-local nature of the data is either attributed to dendritic splitting of reality (Everett) without wave-function collapse except from an observers perspective, or a straight probability wave-function collapse without reading extra variables like non-locality or multiple worlds as in the Copenhagen interpretation.
Is reality real? That's a self-limiting question because "reality" is so much more than the observable phenomena that we can measure. The phenomenon known as Synchronicity in Carl Jung's work gives us an idea that phenomena can only be linked in the human imagination through levels of "meaning" and "meaning" is an entirely subjective quantity.
Chances are there is something more going on here, like covetousness prior to any break-up with your friend. Whether or not you wanted that person prior to the break-up, I think its better to just look elsewhere unless you like unnecessary drama.
I think that all women are beautiful in some way, the Irish lasses don't have a monopoly on it. However, for a wee dram, I'll give ye all the blarney ye need to bolster your prejudice.
I actually believe we're headed for another Ice Age. The Effects of Volcanic eruptions has more of an effect on the Earth than anything humans can do short of using WMDs.
There was a period during the late middle ages called the Little Ice Age, where the average winters lasted much longer and summers were much shorter. The hardwood grown during that time was much finer grained because of the shortened growth cycles. This wood had an interesting acoustic quality because of the grain, and was in fact the wood that was used to make Stradivarius Violins. Which is why their like cannot be reproduced. The wood from that time is all gone!!!
I don't know why their employment practices should be a factor in my purchasing their products. As much as people say they despise working in retail, at least they are working. And all those lovely geriatric greeters that are at least getting out of the nursing home for awhile to do something besides bingo in the rec room...
I don't like Walmart for a lot of other reasons, but my distaste lies with the people who shop at Walmart far more than Walmart itself. For the simple reason that they want something for nothing...or for as next to nothing as they can get. Walmart supplies a demand, nothing more, and nothing less.
It's all a bit too South Park at this point...
Everybody shops at Walmart for the simple reason that they have cheap stuff. Buy cheap stuff...and you get what you pay for. I shop at local groceries, hardware stores, and clothing outlets if I can. Sure I spend a little more, but I get what I pay for and my money tends to stay in the local economy longer that way.
"The Utah Shooting Sports Council said it normally gathers a dozen teachers every year for instruction that's required to legally carry a concealed weapon in public places." - From the article cited.
This training is about "Concealed" Weapons training, which is not the same as basic weapons training. I imagine that the issue is not basic training in how to utilize a firearm, but much more about when NOT to use it. This is not the same type of training a constable would be involved in.
I dunno about trying too hard. I was here a year or so before we found each other. When its time, it will happen. Patience and tenacity are what it takes. I could have settled for someone closer, but this was meant to be. It does take work however. It's not like ordering something from Amazon. A relationship is not something from a fairy tale.
People ask me if I have a successful relationship than why am I still here? Why not? People need to know that it can happen. Without testimonials people lose heart.
I'm wondering why you feel the need to post a thread that paints with such a broad brush. Your experience may be that the women you have been with argue and complain. You ask a question ": Is there a woman that doesn't argue and complain?". I stated that such behavior is not gender specific. You might as well ask a question like "Is there a human that does not breathe air" or "Is there a fish that does not drink water?".
Nice is one thing. You are asking for a fairy tale. Good luck with that.
I'm late into this debate but it seems to me arguing and complaining isn't gender-specific. Posting a thread complaining about arguing and complaining seems a bit ironic after all. Especially if you use the thread to argue about complaining...and arguing.
Not sorry to be gone from Oregon. I miss my friends and family but I spent a year on unemployment there sending out 100s of resumes a week with nary a nibble. I have been in Ohio since July and have already found 2 jobs in the time I've been here.
Fraudulent and election should not be used in the same sentence together as they have been redundant words in America since at least 2000 (and IMO since at least 1980). Since the media "projects" the "winner" long before the majority of "votes" are "counted" it doesn't matter how you vote. Charlie Rose and cronies will have already decided for you long before your vote gets "counted" anyways.
As we slide toward a global socialist government, the only freedom we have is in our minds. Our opinions don't count if we hold to ideals that don't contribute to collectivism.
Tyranny of the majority is led by mouthpieces that erode our freedoms by misleading us that democracy is freedom.
