Husband, Father, IT Pro, service.

I ask a lot of questions to try to understand how people think.

  • I like the recent estimates of his appearance. This artist renders him even less good looking than probably most imagined when they think of someone from that region of the world, which makes me believe it’s closer to appropriate.

    Jesus wasn’t a rock star. In Christianity and the new testament, God didn’t portray himself in any way other than meager and a bit of a communist. That’s the beauty of part of the story.

    Edit, I think Jesus would have been easy to put on the no fly list, or walk by without a second thought, which is a challenge to our ways of thinking.


  • Firstly, you can’t punch retards (current Republicans extremist lead group). /S I seriously don’t even know where to start with that party. Totally fucked.

    So that leaves me with American left. After the millionth devotee to try and convince me Biden is actually a good candidate instead of realizing how terrible things have been going, yeah, I’m punching party leadership.

    They did this to us. They put us in a tough spot. Just like with Hillary v Fuck. That’s how fuck won. He didn’t win, American left lost. There’s a difference.

    They’ve made it very hard to sell their party, other than by default because the only other option is fucked and talks about being a dictator. He’s not even kidding.

    This is my frustration and opinion.









  • I see your point. As I’ve been thinking about the need for kids to have resources somewhere, the school is a pretty good place for it. They need a safe place.

    I don’t need to control my kid. I don’t do that now. I believe in setting the condition for honesty and growth, like making mistakes, without being crushed for it. Feels like that’s working so far.

    I would support the ability for them to get counseling on how to deal with parents and how to deal with a world that seems to shit on and oppress small groups of people. I just would want them to get me involved at some point. Maybe there are cases where that’s not in the best interests of the young person. That’s the argument for giving the school discretion. I see that.

    My self harm comment was because of my concern for my kid’s safety, that’s why I would personally be mad. I wouldn’t think that needed spelled out, but I’m guessing you’re using its omission to support your judgement.

    I disagree with your high horsing assertion. You’re allowed that opinion of me, but working through things is easier when you aren’t called names. It feels like most of your comments are high horsing from the other side. I’d rather you just ask questions.




  • That makes more sense to me. I would worry that it takes away a small group of people in an already limited avenues situation.

    I don’t know how to do both. Giving a young person counsel to tell their family would be of great help. Maybe that could be a compromise? If I did something to make my son feel scared (again, I’d be mortified of that because of would feel like a major failure), I would be ok if the school was providing the assistance to help, maybe with the worst thing being they have to mention it eventually?


  • I don’t disagree, but in my lifetime, we’ve been in much better shape in the past and still been unwilling to break away from the status quo.

    Now that the situation is much more dire, it’s even more frustrating that we lacked the will or desires that could potentially have lessened the chances of this outcome.

    I try convincing the less diehard devotees to switch and they’re still hung up on the aspects of the other party they disagree with.
