Goldfish are akin to carp and they don't need as much oxygen as other fish.
I had a friend who, when changing the water for his goldfish would just fill the bowl with tap water and throw the goldfish right in. He never bothered about temperature or chlorine or chemicals or anything. And the goldfish did fine. In fact he seemed to be even more active in the "fresh" highly chlorinated water. But maybe he was an exceptional goldfish.
If you didn't sterilize the bowl, there may be some sort of germ lingering in the bowl that is killing the fish.
Or if you put in too much food, the uneaten food poisons the water.
Yep, that's true. The "wise and prudent" don't listen.
Here's more on the subject.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Ro 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...
Eph 4:18 Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
26 ... not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
I've been curious as to why you have been so supportive to Israel.
I would have expected that, as a Native American, and an active supporter of US interests, you would consider Israel's parasitic relation toward the US, and it's genocidal and land stealing policies toward the Palestinians, as personally offensive to everything you believe in.
From my own personal experience I have to say don't expect any improvement from government controlled health care.
It will be more expensive, less efficient, and more corrupt. And you will not be able to opt out.
The best, and most affordable health care I ever found was in third world countries where nobody had health insurance and there was no socialized medecine.
In such a case, the laws of supply and demand keep prices down and quality up.
They just print up NEW money. All it costs is the paper and ink.
Why, if they just run the presses day and night, and print only five-hundred dollar bills, they could pay off the national debt and all Americans could all be millionaires by the end of the month.

Einstein's specialty was short (easily memorized) quips that sounded profound but said nothing. The sort of things one might keep handy to gracefully sidestep discussion of more complicated issues.
Yes, the situation is even worse than the article describes it.
It's not just that the police are brutal and the government defends them. It's that the government does everything in it's power to provoke incidents for political purposes. Including completely staging incidents using paid provocateurs.
In one case I was within 100 yards of a supposedly huge riot. On the news footage (that I saw in England a few days later, it looked like thousands of people were involved. In reality there were only a couple of dozen people present and they weren't really rioting at all. The media was the biggest thing happening with mikes and lights and cameras etc. The whole event was choreographed. As soon as the media finished filming, the "riot" disbanded. Everybody there knew it was fake.
There were some real riots elsewhere provoked intentionally by the police, for the same reason. To create violence for the media to film just before the election.
For once I agree with you Sambhava. "Truth" is being synthesized in ways that the world has never seen before. And there is definitely a madness behind the method.
The old "dualist" belief system has been "pulled" by controlled demolition, because they want to build a new unified tower in its place.
My partner in a music duo for 15 years grew up in a horrible cité in St Etienne. He's Algerian (like most of the people there). We practiced at his place for several years. The Cités are horrible soul-less blocks of apartments that resemble prisons. They are not bad structurally. But they are very depressing. Too many people living in a confined area, purposely separated from the French culture in which they live.
They are not nearly as bad as most American inner city ghettos. But they are bad.
If you think I consider France as superior to any other nation, think again.
All nations are capable of the same evil.
Free will and choice only exist at the individual level.
2Co 3:6 ... not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Ro 7:6 ... that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Christ avoided any sort of literalism. He taught analogically, by means of parables. And that infuriated the literalists.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Lu 20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
The truth of parables is never "literal". Just like the truths of nature, it has to be spiritually discerned.
Literalists cannot learn anything from nature or parables because it takes spiritual extrapolation.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Jesus used the inability of literalists to understand parables as a means of security. His religionist enemies, couldn't even understand the point of His parables.
Mt 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Whether or not Einstein believed in God is his own personal problem.
Either way, Einsteing was a fraud who plagerized the work of others and scammed the whole world.
His supposedly "groundbreaking" 1905 paper didn't list any notes or references, unusual even for the time.
All of the better-known elements of the theory of relativity, had already been published by others, particularly French mathematician Henri Poincare and Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.
Even the equation E=MC2 was plagerized. In 1903 Italian physicist Olinto De Pretto published the equation in the scientific magazine Atte. Then in 1904 the equation was republished by the Royal Science Institute of Veneto. Einstein didn't published his plagarism until 1905…
Sir Edmund Whittaker, in his book A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity, Volume II, (1953), entitled a chapter of the study ‘The Relativity Theory of Poincare and Lorentz’. Whittaker documented the development of the theory of relativity, and demonstrated through reference to primary sources that Einstein had plagerized the vast majority of the theory.
Einstein never commented upon or denied any of the allegations of Whittaker’s famous book. Even though he was alive and still teaching at the time of its release.
What Einstein DID accomplish was to take the work of others and compile it in such a way as to accentuate the important discoveries and make their importance more apparent. For that he can be credited.
Although there is substantial evidence that his first wife Mileva (who was a genuine physicist herself) actually did most of that work.
One little detail that suggests this to be the case is that in the settlement of their very bitter divorce, Mileva demanded that Einstein give her the Nobel Prize that he had received for "his" work. And Einstein gave it to her.
I looked at your profile and, (to be honest), except for the precision that you want to meet people of your own age group, it isn't too specific about who you do and do not want to hear from.
In fact, rather than list your interests and disinterests you invite people to write you in order to get to know you. Such an invitation is sure to draw the more "desperate" men to contact you.
If unwanted emails are a problem, you might try redoing your profile to be more specific about who you want to hear from.
No need to worry about it and certainly no need to insult or hurt someone who may have been sincere but inarticulate.
That's one of the good things about this kind of site. If we're not interested, it doesn't require a "scene" to deal with it. A few keystrokes and the whole thing is over and done with.

RE: Think deeply and positivly and then reply to anyone.
The reason people learn to "hate" other nations is generally because someone stirs up the hatred for selfish reasons.Hatred on a national scale can be used to extract the wealth of the entire nation and transfer it into the pockets of a very small minority.
We don't have to look too far to see examples of that.
Look to see who profits the most from the hatred and you will know who provoked it.
