give us a thumbnail sketch of your current state of mind about a particular subject.
your brief view of the world,
or a solution for some problem.
something interesting or just your spin on things.
or whatever twist of plot makes sense to you.
even things we thought we already knew
just explained from your perspective.
working on some. i'll chime in later
( play nice )

okay let me get this straight. for Centuries some people have helped serial pedophiles escape detection
and prosecution. by simply moving them somewhere else. untold millions of victims worldwide. and all the evidence
of their crimes and complicity is hidden away where no one can see it except the criminals and their co-conspirators.
then, when discovered, they pretend they never knew anything about it.
{though authorities worldwide have Proof they did - even the FBI }
so they pretend to have a conference to create the appearance of doing something about it.
then some guy in a hat supposedly gave his buddies a talking to.
this is the problem with a self proclaimed authority "deifying" themselves.
who does that sound like ? remember the fall.
demons are the power behind idols.
this is a sacred cow or golden calf to someone. this needs to change.
talk about an idol. don't even try to tell me he speaks for God.
my bible says no such thing

A good thing that I have noted about my current city is that if you go to supermarkets/grocery stores or even small general stores then you have to carry your own bag. They do not give you plastic bags. They sell you jute bags or you have to bring your own bags. I think it is a great thing and I am very happy with how strictly it is being followed. Plastic is a very bad thing and we need to minimize it for our sustainable development.
I think we should make use public transportation whenever it is possible and whenever we are not too disadvantaged by not using personal transportation. The public transportation of my current city is not very good but underground works are going on and it should be fine by 2024. At the moment I hope people use pooled methods of communication rather than using personal cars for everything. Yeah, sometimes you can't avoid it but given the fact that pollution is a major problem in my country I encourage people to be cautious in leaving carbon footprints. I personally use public transportation in most cases. I use taxi/Uber only when I have a sudden change in plans.

I personally use public transportation in most cases. I use taxi/Uber only when I have a sudden change in plans. The real problem is not whether or not we should use public transportation but whether or not public transportation is even available TO use where you live.
In cities sure. NYC's (in which I've lived) subway and bus system is a huge chaotic dirty mess... And its still the best public transportation system in the world! If I still lived in NYC I would NOT own a car. I would gladly divest myself of payments, insurance, gas and repair bills! Gladly!
But out where I am now? There's no fricking way. You HAVE to have a car because the public transportation system sucks so bad it might as well NOT exist.
If the rest of the country had a public transportation system that was any good (more buses on a more frequent schedule, and trains where possible) then people would use it. I guarantee it. But the American economy is too dependent on keeping people in debt paying off cars that finally give up the ghost when you finally pay them off. Its a racket we all buy into.

Education, education, education.
There are too many ignorant people in the world. Only two things help get out from under that. Education and experience.
Most people will never get experience, because most people are satisfied to live their entire lives within 100 miles from where they born, which means only ever interacting with people who are already like themselves (in fact another thread here backs that up: imdb2.freeforums.net/thread/150233/approximately-adult-lived-miles-where).
But education can at least teach us about the world at large and offer us different perspectives. So, short of travelling and experiencing other cultures, at least get an education!

i wanted to provide an important solution to a dangerous problem i have seen.
some people in rescue situations use only their fingers in attempts to grasp someone's hand.
trouble is, if they are wet, or if finger strength fails, the grip slips away.
a Much stronger grip is for each person to grasp the others wrist if at all possible.
two hands on the wrist provides maximum strength to make loss of contact far less likely.
in rescue situations it can save lives

A couple of folks I see as friends are going through some terrible times right now.
I don't know them other than as on--line friends, but a friend is a friend wherever you might know them.
I don't know that there is anything that I can do to help other than to let them know that I am here for them and thinking of them and wishing them well.

I'm feeling very confused today. I know why. The doctor said my blood sugar is too high, so now I have one more thing to worry about. Now I have yet another medication to take regularly.

many just need to be heard. i would also encourage them to seek out others wherever
they may live. as well as hotlines for emergencies.
you're a good friend. i wish your friends well too.
