Did I say "personal health issues"? No I didn't. I had training and experience in the subject because I was a health professional, with decades of experience, and the documents to prove it. You will have to try harder next time.

The military had ( ? have ) a policy of banning any discussion of politics and religion when I joined up. IMO it's a good rule when talking to friends as well, as both are liable to make enemies of friends.

God is "everything" in the entire universe, down to the last electron. Unfortunately, God isn't going to give me the winning Lotto numbers.

I assume you meant Sugar has not killed me yet. It may not kill you. I hasn't killed me despite keeping the sugar industry in profit most of my life, but it lost my mother's leg and eventually killed her, it makes billions diabetic and fat and gives them bad teeth and heart defects. While I love sugar in all it's myriad forms, we'd all be healthier if it didn't exist.

and?

IMO nature doesn't care about survival of a species. If nature did nature would not have let humans destroy so many other species. Nature gave us the genetic imperative to reproduce, and left us and all species to get on with it. IMO humans were a mistake, and Gaia is working, albeit slowly, to rid the planet of us. Doesn't matter though as what are a few millennia in the cosmic sense. No matter how much destruction we have inflicted on the planet, once we are gone the plants will take over and remove the evidence of our existence.

He's right! We foolish humans think that because we have "free will" we are special, LOL. Tell that to a hurricane or an earthquake if you dare. What some of us have is "luck". Some of us were born at a time the world wasn't infested with too many destructive humans destroying everything they touch, we were born into families that wanted us, and had enough money to give us stuff, send us to good schools etc, but it's only "luck" and can be taken away in an instant. Drive at the wrong time and in the wrong place and a drunk moron will take it all away, walk down the wrong street and a mugger will end it for you, get conscripted and gets your guts blown out, or end up limbless- I bet you get the picture. As for the rest of humanity that wasn't born lucky, well, talk to the 2.something Gazans getting blown up because they were born there. They had it right in the military when they said "life is s**t and then you die". As for rights, what rights? When I got married I thought I had a "right" for sex- was I ever wrong about that! Do I have a right to good housing- no, do I have right to a decent pension- no, do I have a right to be treated kindly, no, do I actually have a "right" to anything at all- no I don't. The only right I have is to be lied to at election time and vote for people that don't care about me. Despite the obvious conclusion that I'm bitter, I'm no more bitter than anyone that got handed the dirty end of the stick. I spent the first third of my life thinking I was inferior to everyone else, the middle third I did amazing things, and the last third I wasted on the wrong woman, but so what, no matter how bad I had it I was lucky, no matter that my dreams turned to dust, I was lucky, no matter that I'm just filling in time till the last great adventure, I'm lucky, as it could all have been so much worse. The sunset should be amazing tonight.

IMO Biden is a vile man.

Why is there no response to this thread? Is anyone there? Does anyone care? Where is the "support" in the support subforum?

As usual, Trump's opponents concentrate on Trump the man and ignore why such an unsuitable man became POTUS and is looking a viable candidate for the upcoming election. If it wasn't Trump, it'll be someone that dislikes Washington as much, and till Washington reforms itself the anti establishment will keep voting for anti Washington politicians.

We do have a point. Four years without a war being started has to be some sort of record for the US. Biden almost equaled that, till October 7. Now it seems he starting a real humdinger Middle East melt down.

All that's missing is the awful pants suit that HRC wore. Perhaps Hillary has a spare pair to give her.

I'm getting the popcorn ready for the exploding snowflake heads show.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had supported Bernie in the past, but no longer. It was Haley's anti Palestinian rant during a debate that made me no longer consider her as a potential POTUS. The only candidate that I would trust to not start any wars is Trump.

Any qualified physician that offers a diagnosis without a consultation is a very bad physician, IMO. I can claim some training and experience in the psychological field, but I'd never give a diagnosis without actually speaking to the subject.

If I cared I could present you with as long a list as to why Biden is an appalling choice. You "don't think he is a good choice, I think he is a better choice". Isn't this as good a reason as any to think that US politics is broken, that no one that would be a "good" choice is having a look in? Why are voters not being given the opportunity to select a better candidate than an old, apparently going senile candidate? Is it not anti democratic to only give one candidate without any opportunity to choose a better? Seems like something that goes on in dictatorships to me.

Any psychologist that proffers a diagnosis without a consultation should be struck off, IMO. Means nothing, as they are just giving a personal opinion.

That is undoubtedly true, but what may not eventuate is that they will hold their noses and vote for Biden. They may choose to vote an independent or not vote at all, but that would likely see Biden elected again. Time will tell and events may remove either or both from contention prior to the election. I'd like to see DeSantis vs Harris.

Collective punishment is a crime against humanity, but when did israel ever take any notice of the UN if it didn't suit it to do so? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_punishment Collective punishment is prohibited by treaty in both international and non-international armed conflicts, more specifically Common Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Article 4 of the Additional Protocol II.[1][2] There was a peace process before October 7? Can't say that i was aware of it.

From the article quoted. “We share in the grief of their families for the heavy loss, and know that the pain is too great to bear,” Halevi said. Seems that when it happens to thousands of Palestinians it's OK, but for a few israelis it's a catastrophe. Gazan families have been suffering the same thing for 3 months, but so far no expression of sympathy from Halevi.

If Kenny doesn't use a condom when doing it with unknown women, Kenny can't complain when Kenny gets AIDS. However, seems that Kenny is being sensible.

I used Cialis without problems for several years, till I was no longer able to do so ( heart problems ). I didn't have any unwanted side effects.

I guess you must be speaking from experience than.

You came on a forum filled with refugees from failed marriages with Thai women- what else did you expect?

Of course she should prioritise her kids over you, or she is a bad parent, but is that what you really want? Are you really prepared to spend the rest of your life being third in line? Have you any actual experience of living like that before? I do. Perhaps you should make two lists on paper, one of the benefits to you, and one of the problems to you, and see which has the most points. However, at the end of the day, it's "up to you". Good luck.
