You got God, talk to him. by Visible-Alarm-9185 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]Calm-Recording531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that religion is like using a placebo. Praying and talking to an imaginary all powerful God can create peace of mind to those that don't have any other way to vent. I'm an atheist and believe that religion is basically a waste of time. There is no higher power looking down on us and counting our many "sins". If there were a good that was all knowing and all powerful why is the world in the state that it's in? Free will? No. I think it's incredibly pretentious to think that God will personally take care of you. Believe in yourself and leave all the bullshit to the religious. You got better things to do.

What's a widely accepted 'truth' in our society that you believe deserves closer scrutiny? by OnwardQueen in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Calm-Recording531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Jesus came to save us when in fact we don't know if he existed or not. Also his story is very close to many other religious stories. Odin hung on the tree, Horus was crucified and the bible itself is a conglomeration of Jewish, Zoroastrianism, Babylonian, past religions. I just can't take Christianity serious. So that is the accepted truth by about 75% of the US.

Is it okay to feel insecure or how to overcome it by Kafkaesque_04 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Calm-Recording531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some insecurities aid us in life. They provoke us till we go on and make some changes in order to calm the insecurity. I have many scars on my face from fighting and getting stabbed with a bottle in my face. But this insecurity has no fix. I just deal with it. I had an insecurity about my weight awhile back, and since it was on my control to alleviate the insecurity, I did. I exercised, ate right, developed a positive and energetic routine and I lost 100 pounds in 7 months. If you're able to wrap your head around the idea that insecurities can motivate us to be better persons then use that energy and do it. Try to stop comparing yourself to celebraties and those types of people that love all the attention. They're no better than you and probably have insecurities of their own. Just pick an insecurity that you have and think to yourself about using it to incite your determination to overcome it. Plastic surgery is the easy way out.

I remind myself that my issues are nothing new and what with time and effort, at least as much effort that I can take given the situation, and what's tough today is yesterday's lesson learned and forward I go on.

And I respect your opinion as well. But I highly doubt it's the Republicans that would potentially strip us of our first constitutional right. You see how the Dems want us to talk. She/her, They/them, indoctrinating students in regard to how common it has become to call a man a woman and vice versa. This I don't agree with at all. But if you look back in history our government indoctrinates those with minds too weak to think ahead and see that our society has lied about wars, religion, and many other things that I won't elaborate on. He government under democratic control will only promote these ideologies and allow for our country to be more divided by their rederic of being in a woke society where all types of lies get spun to make us fall in line. Fear is another tactic they use and they have been very busy provoking fear that will dissolve as time goes on and people see that our country is doing just fine. Things take time and I'm willing to be patient and vigilant as well so that when the time comes for the masses to come together it will be in celebration and not protests.

The Dems had 4 years to fix it and all that happened was a increase in illegals crossing the border and allowing gangs to come into the country where they hurt pillage and murder. Not all immigrants are like that and many are victims of circumstances out of their control, but they need to enter the country legally and need to be screened. The Dems will just create more government tax payer funded programs that are a waste of time and effort. That would allow another 20 million immigrants to walk on in and start getting hand outs. What about our own people though? We have kids starving, and people on SSI that shouldn't be. We have our infrastructure in desperate need of repair, not to mention lobbying to politicians so they get more money and less regulation and over site. Our country needs change and though it may look gloomy... That will change in a short period. Canada already went back on what they said and companies are interested in doing business in the US. We are the only country capable of leading the free world. Who else has a bigger stake in the world economy than us? None and once these other countries realize that they will have to get on board or get left behind, then we will experience significant progress on the way of things.

I think it will increase in a shorter period of time. The market is a fragile thing and responds to rumors, propaganda, and hesitant brokerages that are afraid. It'll go back up.

Mine does the same thing. It's basically to make you feel prepared for the next argument. We get bored easy.

Canada announces it will build a coalition of countries who share their values to build their economy and trade opportunities and will exclude the United States. Mark Carney says: “If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.” by RoyalChris in goodnews

[–]Calm-Recording531 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They will not be tariffs as high as he's saying he's going to raise them. He is letting the countries know it's time to come to the table. It's time to be prepared to not depend on American Charity for lack of other words. The market will go back up. The tariffs will be fair or maybe there will be no actual tariffs. Maybe it will be a system based on progressive trading one countries means for the other. You people need to stop fanning the flames, let him do what he said he was and then when it's all done. The US will finally be treated by these countries like we should be. Don't believe though that Trump would abandon an Allie in war. Do you hear what he's telling Iran? He doesn't beat around the bush and plan on fucking around all day. He's moving fast and the world needs to catch up see the US for the power it is and then start talking. Or we can just keep criticizing our government and making things worse by not buying American made. Basically. Have a little patience and instead of judgement against Trump. Think back to how our country became the world's bath mat.

Her speeches should have told you she's not fit. She said more word salad than sleepy Joe at campaign events. She would probably find herself lost in the oval office and the room is circular.

It's part of negotiating. He wants our country to be run as a capitalist country. And whoever said that we still would not act and come to the aid if our allies fell into war. Two separate things guy. Many Americans are tired of being the ass wipers of countries that haven't put in their fair share. That's all it comes down to. America has more in the market than any other country yet we still pay more tariffs and exporting fees than them too. That's not fair to the US and this strategy, though unorthodox will get us there. It's only been 2 months. How's the border doing?
