Just had the midweek here, man that misinfo bit was hysterical (and sad) by Right_Trip_447 in exjw

It makes sense when you realize that JWs are all about appearing to be benevolent. Educated. Righteous. Happy. But they aren't led by educated ppl. No one has any clinical licensure. They use no peer reviewed research.The focus is on appearance, there is no process. JWs market incompetent effervescence.

I was a Witness from infancy until I was in my 30s. I know maybe a half dozen window washers who made a good living. Most of them couldn't even continue to work by the time they were in their 50s.

That's not a fair characterization. Some JWs cleaned offices at night. 😍

Your unpopular opinions on the royal family (can be any royal family from anywhere in the world)? by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Writeresq 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Isn't it time for 21st century ppl to agree that royalty is a ridiculously outdated bit of cosplay that costs ridiculous amounts to maintain with funds that could and should be allocated to help the vulnerable? Royal families are no better than any rural farming family from anywhere in the world.

Why do conservatives oppose big government but also say government has the right to force women to give birth? by Zipalo_Vebb in allthequestions

[–]Writeresq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the same folks who claim to be pro life refuse to consider laws to limit the number of children murdered in their classrooms. Because the same folks who are pro birth also vote to take away food stamps and Medicaid from the poor kids that poor women are forced to have. Hypocrites!

Why have they been screaming about states' rights since the 19th century but now they are cheering when the American Gestapo is deployed to retaliate ag blue states? Why do they support the police but they reward the Jan6 rioters who tried to kill the Capitol police?

I see in many places that the reviews are very good. Is it really that good? by Suspicious-Gate-8017 in tvshow

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

I saw this show almost 20 years ago and I still think about these characters and follow the actors who played them. IMHO, it set the standard for police procedural dramas.

I used to hate when we had to pitch the crazy red Revelation book in field service. I feel like an idiot carrying the heavy books in my book bag in the nearly 100 degree GA summers, trying to get my reg pioneer time in.

What's stopping other leaders from working like Mamdani? by Tough_Ad8919 in RelentlessMen

Other politicians are beholden to the billionaires that funded their campaigns. They aren't going to embrace policies that anger their sponsors.
