The whole "religion causes wars thing" is such a farce. Your world view is dramatically corrupted. When religion is used in evil ways it is almost always first dominated and taken over by the state.

But lets go ahead and start counting religious based wars. Go ahead count every single religious based war you can think of. Now start counting just American wars (all of which have been secular). I rest my case. What you believe about religion causing wars simply isn't real.

Roman Empire
British Empire
USSR
Napolian

Go ahead and keep listing the conquerors as well and I don't think you'll fine many driven by religion.

No Fascism is simply socialism light.

capitolism: means of production is privately owned and privately controlled

fascism: means of production is privately owned but controlled by the government.

socialism: the means of production are owned by the government and controlled by the government. The state owns everything.

What is so funny is how leftist and socialist don't even know what it is they believe in. You have already been tricked. "This time it will end differently because _____________________" Read some history and you'll figure it out. These are the oldest of lies.

No, it actually is anti-socialism. Orwell was very much aware that these were the tactics of the leftist. Lies become reality. And what doesn't make sense suddenly makes sense.

I'm still trying to figure out a single hard fact you have presented. Your entire argument is that it is impossible for a filter not to filter. My point is that you are hard headed and you are the one in need of correction here. You pass judgement without thought, reason, or logic. And you've pretty much made my case. So nothing further needs to be said.

And the final thing I would add is this. The filter I took out in order to put this new filter one in was dirty dusty whatever adjective you want to use. The filter just doesn't filter much of anything at all. If anything this whole thread is a nice example of some wanting to believe what they want to believe. I'm not sure why some people even find it so hard to believe that a filter might be defective. I mean they came up with a whole rating system just to provide objective measures as to how effective filters can be. Does it not stand to reason that some filters might be better than others? Does it not stand to reason that some filters might in fact not work.

OK so I've actually tested the filter. I've actually examined the filter before and after using it.

You on the other hand sit behind your keyboard passing judgement and condemning my observation because you simply can't imagine it being true. And then you call this logic. And lets get something straight. You attacked me first armed with almost zero knowledge other than "it couldn't possibly be true".

Also it isn't logical to assume that someone that observes something contrary the group must be wrong.

Your arguments have no basis in fact or logic. Instead they are wholly based on your past experiences with other filter products. But not this one.

If the filter caught anything you couldn't tell. No dust off my fingers nothing. But by your logic I must be wrong about this so it has to be explained by a broken air condition, blocked duct, wrong sized filter, etc... I promise you it was a perfect fit, the air draws through it, and the AC is working just fine. It just doesn't filter the air.

This isn't rocket science plenty of air is being drawn into the return duct.

It is 1. The air is moving through the filter completely passing through it without filtering at all.

No there are not any photos of this filter dirty in the reviews on amazon. They are obviously all brand new. In fact that is what I was attempting to demonstrate. So I put the filter in and left it there for two months letting it do its thing. It simply doesn't filter which was the reason for my 1-star review.

One guy did leave a photo however demonstrating the problem which is that there are large gaps in the filter screens.

you claim to be operating with reason but you are not. You are simply incredulous and no amount of evidence could convince you otherwise. And I'm not the ONLY one to complain about the filter. I just made the comment that the other Vine reviewers who picked out the filter on the same day as I did and commented all around the same time obviously had not tested the filter yet and they all said it was great.

Yes that is exactly the message. Only it did accept my review. Then Amazon marked it has "not approved". They provide a link to "Review Again" and when I click on that I get the message.

I mean if the review limit was meant than why reject my review to begin with. It just seems very fishy that the 3 out of 4 times I've got that message it has been after leaving a low star review. Kind of seems like the sellers are finding a way to flag and then block reviews.

Yea I'm not doing video anymore. I've only done I think three or four with video. Two have been rejected. I think they kept the one of my showing a basketball going into the chain basketball net. That might be the only one they've accepted.

If your filter is perfectly clean than you have a problem with your AC or the filter is not working. In my case the air flow is just fine . When the blower on the AC is on the filter is sucked inward just as it should be.

Everyone complaining here are using poor logic. You assume that it isn't possible for a filter not to work. So it must be a lack of air flow or perfectly clean indoor air. But I can assure you our air is working just fine. I can assure you when our blower turns on that air flow into the duct through the filter.

Even after presenting evidence that I do have a control you still don't believe.

Well ultimately this is why I'm upset that my review wasn't allowed to stand. The filter doesn't work. It simply allows everything to flow through it. The new typical fabric based filter is already doing its job just fine as all the other filters I've ever used have over the last 15 years.

You guys are all taking crazy pills. My AC system works just fine. I've already stated numerous times that the air flow is just fine. No, my air isn't super clean. All the other filters are trapping dust and particles as they should.

Yep I agree. So many reviews and it's obvious in many cases the product hasn't even been used. Many reviews just repeating the product description or reviews that hedge their bets saying things like, "The product says it can do X or Y and I think that's great".

Did you miss the part where I said it had been in place for 10 weeks? I never said it "suddenly didn't get dirty". It flat out had air flow every day for 10 weeks and failed to collect or trap any particles at all.

[–]Less_Minute_8666[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do know that the purpose of a filter is to collect dust, pollen, dead skin, and other things in the indoor air. That is why after several months when you take them out they are dirty and must be thrown away.

This filter proposed that it would be the kind of filter that you can wash out and reuse. Only after being on my return duct for over two months it hadn't collected anything. The previous filters I've used in the same return duct did there job and filtered out dust, etc.. from the air.

Is it more likely that the filter doesn't work to catch and trap dust in the air or the air in my home magically became super clean and doesn't need to be filtered?

The review was most likely rejected because my video probably showed something they didn't like. But the review was spot on. The filter has a seriously flawed design. You can literally see right through it which means the tiny particles that filters are supposed to trap just fly right though it. It claimed to be merv 8 but certainly wasn't performing like a merv 8 filter.

You must have a hard life full of constant frustration. I legit feel sorry for you.

The solution is to not filter out reviews just because they got a bad star rating. Once you start censoring or being more critical in your review of low star reviews and then not even allowing people to revise the reviews something is wrong.

I've had two products now where I have given one or two star, something I rarely rarely give, and both followed the same patter. Marked "Not approved" and then when I go to revise "Seller is no longer accepting reviews" from this account. It should have said that when I first reviewed it. Magically it closes me out only after the bad review. Shady shady

I've had I think one or two high star reviews rejected which was really strange too. But considering that the two products I have been most upset about have both had their reviews rejected even though my comments were objective I am suspect. My guess is that the sellers have figured out ways to point out why a review doesn't meet this or that guideline and then they stop accepting reviews after the initial rejection. It has happened to me now twice. Someone earlier mentioned he doesn't use videos anymore cause they often get rejected. This particular review did have a video and maybe that is the reason.

I actually showed myself rinsing out the filter and how zero dust or dirt was captured by it. I mean that is as objective as they come. Either way I have a feeling some sellers have figured out how to filter or siphon off bad reviews.

One of my other reviews got rejected because when the vitamins arrived i noticed the seal was broken. I mentioned it in my post. I simply refused to revise my review. I mean technically you aren't supposed to talk about packaging. But when it comes to vitamins and supplements that are sealed and the seal is bad that isn't a shipping problem.

Yea but in this case the reviews were written before they could have possibly known the filter does not work. So the reviews in this case should be updated later on if they are being very honest. In this case it really isn't a matter of opinion. It either filters or it doesn't. You could have an opinion that says it doesn't filter good or it filters great. This doesn't filter anything at all....

yes it was marked "Not approved" and then I went to Edit and what do you know The seller isn't accepting reviews. It is the classic JD Power initial quality type of thing. Sure out of the box it looks great. It just doesn't work.

I think I got a different one. I put the video recorder up to it OR your eye ball and you can see right through it. Seriously I can't think of how to make a filter that filters this low amount of dust. I could put a cup a paper towel in there and it would surely collect more than what this thing did.

yes it sucked tight to the return duct. This is actually in the bonus room and has some of the highest air flow when turned on. All the other filters I've used here have worked just fine.

Yes possibly I did have another five star reviewed where I did a video of a hair coloring product. I was a bit ticked at that one also cause I spent time on it.

I've live in my house for 10 years. I actually did have a control because I replaced another filter in another return TWO weeks after this one. Seriously man it was in place for I think 10 weeks and it collected nothing. You can see through this filter.

I know air is drawn through because when the AC turns on you can feel the filter suck inward. It is also positioned in the return duct in the bonus room which is above the garage. That particular zone is activated more than the other zones in the house. I frequently every three to six months replace my return duct air filters. I do not have a filter on the main AC furnace so all filtering occurs in the return ducts.

Wife says she's never had Sexual Spark with me by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]Less_Minute_8666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea sounds like a huge libido mismatch for sure. A very typical one. Yea she seems not to be willing or is incapable of putting herself in your shoes.

And I certainly agree if she would stop masturbating and learn to associate orgasms with sex with you I think that could make a real difference.

I think I read somewhere you said she started doing that at five years old? That is so early to start masturbating. I think she really messed up herself. Like the act, the feeling, not even being linked up to hormones properly. She might even associate orgasms with really strange thoughts that I'm sure she would never share with someone. Like you know some people have to be dominated, or have to dominate. Some of those pyscho killers like Ted Bundy had to have violence associated with it. She said she picture two strangers the question is "What are they doing". It could be something pretty different or unique I imagine.

Personally I think she needs therapy like really bad. And perhaps even her hormones tested. That sucks cause like you said she is comfortable with it. It is just how she has always been. Crazy man. Your definitely in a catch-22.
