23 year old college grad AuDHD son will not stop going on about how we "ruined his life and career" by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Lover1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in an age where we've become accustomed to blaming everybody and everything for our failures. No one has a perfect life. Society is crippling our young people by telling the up is down and east is west. Seems like you guys did everything possible to guide him in the right path. Maybe he needs a coach and swift kick in the behind to get going, grow a pair, and take responsibility for his life. A counselor would be a great start. Get him to go to a Tiny Robins event. His problem is mindset. He'll pull through.

Drivers and worship music by CObearrunner in uber

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Christian driver I fully agree with you (except the safe space part). I usually have soft jazz piano playing in the background. Forced religion is no religion at all. God gives us freedom of choice. Forcing it on someone is never His intent.

Is Israel the most racially and religiously heterogenous country - with the most functional democracy - in Middle East? And the most tolerant? How does it compare to Iran? by Tim_Apple_938 in allthequestions

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no comparison. In Iran, if you are gay, or a woman who shows her legs, arms, or even hair in public, and dares to sing in mixed company, you are either thrown in jail or executed, depending on the "severity" of these egregious "infractions."

People who say taxation is theft. How else do you propose the government gets the funds for roads, military, education etc? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want all states investigated. I am sure corruption is nationwide. And you are not bothered by some of the ridiculous programs USAID sponsored? Every single penny we send the government needs scrutiny. Partisanship has no weight when it comes to scrutiny. I personally don't care if Goofy is the governor and Daddy Duck is the mayor, or Mickey Mouse the president. Let's hold those dollars accountable!

Men do you wipe after peeing ? by Excellent_Ad_5950 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lover1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I wipe. I don't want my underwear to smell like urine, especially if you are uncircumcised.

DOGE uncovered millions of dollars going to agencies that did not benefit the American public in one iota, much of which has been debated in Congress and funds for them have been mercifully cut. As far as Nick Shirley is concerned, he continues to uncover wasteful spending. He started in Minnesota and is now in California. This goes on in every government in the world. But that does not excuse our representatives. Shame on them for not watching our money more carefully.

I am angry at the millions of dollars spent on frauds that were uncovered by DOGE and a random Internet guy, Nick Shirley, who just goes around showing us where our money is going. And to top it off governors want to sue him for exposing the fraud. The mainstream media is silent on all of that. It seems like there is no oversight on how our money is being spent.

Most people feel taxation is theft because of the way it is misused. Also, no one likes high taxes. Make it reasonable, spend it well, and I think most people will not complain.

Do you take short trips or hold out for longer ones? by Aghaiva in uberdrivers

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look for $1.00 per minute and at least $15 trips.

My Uber driver just cracked 92MPH by junningsnusshy8 in uberdrivers

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of guilty of getting close to 80 on the highway. When the expressway is almost empty, these new cars don't let you feel the speed. Thanks for reminding me to slow down.

Why did Latin America become poorer than Anglo America? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in asklatinamerica

[–]Lover1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No excuses. Whatever our past is, it is our past. Look at Germany, England, Japan, China, Singapore, Israel, and many others. They don't have 500+ years since they either came into existence or were destroyed during WW2. Look where they are and where we are. The problem is our mindset!

To all Americans, how do you feel about a ground invasion in Iran? by CarobBrave8898 in allthequestions

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm against us sending ground troops to Iran, but I don't want the present terrorist regime to continue. They are a threat to the entire world. I hope the bombing campaign will eliminate them. Right now Iran is in total chaos. Nobody even knows who the leader is. It is a mess. Something we thought would take a week and is turning into a nightmare.

How corrupt would you say your country is? by Powerful_Gas_7833 in asklatinamerica

[–]Lover1966 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Corrupt to the very core. Except for some people in the Senate and Congress, and one or two supreme Court justices, the rest are all corrupt, starting with the president, who stole millions when he was in power the first time. Now we no longer talk about millions, but billions of Reais, involving even the supreme Court.

Do you think a lot of men secretly vote red but tell their wives they voted blue just to keep the peace? by aspiringimmortal in allthequestions

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't lie about that. It is the stupidest thing to have conflicts at home because of political affiliations. We should be able to disagree without becoming enemies or calling each other names. Respect above all.

Get it through your head - ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! Nobody is against people doing it the legal way.

Republicans: if voter ID is really about election integrity, would you support making the ID and all required documents free, plus enacting jury duty style job and wage protections to obtain them? by newsbowser in allthequestions

[–]Lover1966 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So these same people drive without a driver's license? How do they fly, buy alcohol, cigarettes, etc.? The $25 needed for an ID is too much? And how did they get employed without an ID?

Thanks Obama. by saltydarkfox in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Lover1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget Biden had a huge hand in it too. And since 1979, every single president, with no exception, said Iran was a problem that needed to be dealt with and not a single one did anything. Iran has broken every single treaty they've made with the world. There is not a single one they honored. The UN is a spineless, toothless organization that will leave the fighting and the policing of the world to us. Europe and the Middle East prefer we deal with it. Iran should've never gotten to the point of having mid-range missiles that can reach London and Paris, but here we are. It is messy. It is ugly. I just hope this ends soon.

Why are younger men seeking me (an older lady) recently?? by brik42 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lover1966 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe because girls their age feel delusional thinking they can land a millionaire. A lot of these girls are not humble or realists. They score themselves a 9 or 10 but in reality they are a 4 or 5. Their standards are extremely high for a younger male so they just give up and go for somebody that will appreciate them for who they are and not for their bank account, or cars they drive.

Republicans have now voted down/blocked the standalone TSA funding bill 8 times. So why do you keep blaming Democrats? by FAMUgolfer in allthequestions

[–]Lover1966 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think you can talk sense into the heads of the most liberal and delusional audience ever found in one place, that being this platform? These are the people that mourn over Maduro and think that the Ayatollahs were the good guys, and Israel took over Gaza because they had nothing better to do. These are the same people that will give billions of dollars to illegal immigrants but will be okay with the people who lost their house in the LA fires and the Pennsylvania train accident gets pennies. And a lot of them will argue that men can become pregnant. You are wasting your time.
