My perception is that the EU is one of those things that crosses political divides. However, traditionally the Tories have been more Eurosceptic than Labour. Immigration seems to have brought a lot of the working class around to a more sceptical way of thinking.
Trump builds walls. We brick up tunnels.
l know animals do it but their animals.they dont live by a moral code.the thought of 2 men going for it is not normal.what are your thoughts?.
I just think live and let live really. Homosexuality isn't normal for me, but it is for homosexuals. I don't have a problem witnessing it in public or on TV. However, I will say that the thought of anal sex is a bit icky for me whatever the genders involved. And yes, I did do it once with a girlfriend who was into it, and I didn't feel comfortable with it. No big deal. I'm not comfortable with every sexual practice, and that happens to be one of them.
now i know i am getting older or of the older generation.
i have had a very strange day with a lot of strange dealings with people with strange behavior today but this one incident was just over the top.
so i came out of a store in a busy shopping center.
You switched the topic from the original post. You are not prepared to hear a view that differs from yours. Original post: Man does a quick change without exposing his bits. Moved to: Kid strips off due to being previously abused. I sympathise, but we can't expect the rest of the world to adjust itself to our convenience. So kid is never allowed on the beach due to people being in swimwear?

Maybe it's me but so long as he's not showing his tackle, I don't think it's a problem.
Mind you, when I was rough sleeping, I did sit in a launderette with just a towel on while my only clothes went through wash and tumble dry. It was a very large towel though so I was well covered. There was hardly anyone around either.
i feel a sadness so deep that friends wonder why my art and my blinds remain undrawn.. gone is the muse who promised me solacewhile guys played ball and climbed tall trees.. a blank canvas before me says, "here's your life, where has it gone?".
is it too late to become what imight have become .

Good stuff CC. I like to play around with the written word sometimes. I'm currently writing my JW stuff and what happened after. It was traumatic, so I have a lot of breaks from it. That's when my mind wanders to poetry. Like most people who do it, I treat it as a hobby.
A good site I found is www.writingforums.com . I've learned a lot from the people there and, for the most part, it seems a friendly place. That doesn't stop some of the critique being forthright, exactly what I need as I prefer honesty.
besides being raised in the religion , why do people become jws?
.
With my parents, it's one story each. My mother was exposed to it as a child because my maternal grandparents were in it from young adulthood, I think (this would be shortly after WW1). My mother wasn't heavily involved as a youngster because my grandparents weren't pushy about it towards their kids - indeed, they appeared to become heavily disillusioned with it as they aged.
When I was very young, I recall major problems at home. I later understood that my father strayed outside the marriage with several women - and he drank a lot.
So, both parents were disillusioned with life generally, and sought a way to improve things. The first port of call wasn't the JWs though. My father's upbringing left him with negative feelings to the Church of England, and he wasn't too enamoured with more traditional churches. He even gave the Mormons a hearing, but I suspect the alcohol ban may have been a greater deterrent than anything doctrinal.
The JW's came onto the scene when my father asked an old drinking friend how he had turned his life around and repaired his marriage. Oh dear! It transpired that he had become a JW - and that is where the rot set in. I imagine that guilt did the rest, wanting to make amends to his parents-in-law for messing up their daughter.
It probably didn't help matters that my father was adopted in his first year, and only discovered this by accident (he found his adoption papers while looking through the family records as a kid). His step-parents never told him, and it only slipped out many years later that he was aware. So, I suppose he may have viewed the JWs as a quasi-family setup and it fulfilled something for him that had been missing.
it is a stretch to call my dodgy poetry 'entertainment' but i wasn't sure where else to put it.. .
self-fulfilling prophecy.
precipitation.
Feeding Meat to Babies
Dear Father,
They called at our door,
Bibles in hand, proffering dreams
of a Promised Land,
where lion and lamb will lie with your children,
where no-one will die
and Spirit fulfils them; a time when angels
will dry every tear, and humankind
will no longer fear.
But when you asked how
this would come to pass,
and listened with bated breath to the answers,
they neglected to mention global disaster,
vengeful Creator, burdensome Master,
for whom you must slaughter original thought,
and be taught from the altar --
of ignorance.
I forgive you, for you know not what you do.
Your son.
do any of you know anything about prescription medications and their reactions?
the doctors cannot explain why but i react to everything they prescribe to the point that now all my doctors are attempting neutral remedies before medication.
tomorrow i am having surgery to drill a hole in my head to put in a titanium rod and we are doing local instead of general simply because it lessens the amount of needed drugs.
I haven't read all the other responses. Also, I have no medical qualifications.
My first though was auto-immune issues, where the immune system treats too many things as an invading infection. In extreme situations, it has been known to do this to some of the body's own organs.
I know loads about this subject because I'm a window cleaner - so take it for what it's worth.
just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.
that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!
but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.
Like many posts, it overlooks that if this hadn't occurred, life, at least in its current form, wouldn't be here.
However, it wouldn't surprise me if the moon orbit and menstrual cycle interval are linked in some way. We see what the moon's gravitational pull does to water and humans are mostly -- water. Probably coincidence though.
jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.
HopeEverLasting said: Gargamel it doesn't disapprove his existence either.
Of course, but the more we discover, the balance of probabilities shrinks in proportion.
