The connection between Region and Politics
The Blackangel replied to Knight Barida's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
Bullshit. Religion is never needed for politics. Quite the contrary. Religion being mixed in with politics is why people were burned at the stake. I don't know the exact number, but in Salem a lot of people (women mostly) were hung for heresy. Mixing religion and politics leads to nothing else being tolerated, because that one religion becomes the law of the land. Religion should always stay the hell out of politics and vice versa. Otherwise, it's going to cause nothing but war. It's especially dangerous when the idiots causing the violence don't even understand or know anything about the religion they claim. And, at some point, some asshole is going to get all butt-hurt and turn that war chemical, biological, and nuclear. Take one and forego the other. Keep them separate and private. -

If Psychics Can Read the Future, Why Don't They Win the Lottery?

Because they know I would knock them in the head and steal their ticket. -
Where do scammers usually send me messages?
The Blackangel replied to Heatman's topic in General Chat
During an election year, I get spam texts from politicians on both sides of the aisle. When I get one, I immediately reply with STOP, which is usually the reply to be unsubscribed from their lists. But it never makes a dent. The rest of the time, I get phone calls that are pure bullshit. Like here in the last couple years I've been getting calls from people claiming to be Medicare. When I ask them to tell me what my first name is, they go silent for a few seconds then hang up on me. And my first name is a very common name. That one though, I laugh about as they're that stupid they can't even take the time to find anything out about the person they're wanting to scam. But a popcorn worthy response is only doable if you're living with someone who has dementia. Put them on the phone with the scammer. Twenty minutes into the call they'll be thinking they're talking to their long lost uncle Bob. The scammer will actually be saying "Look I got shit to do" and try getting off the phone. -
Famous Places/Things That Totally Disappointed You

Zombie Road out in St Louis. I've been up and down that road hundreds of times, both at night and day, and there's not a goddamn thing there that is even remotely spooky. Let alone haunted or dangerous. The only dangerous thing is getting caught by the cops after dark. If you want a physical lullaby, Zombie Road is for you. -
Breast implants. I don't like how small mine are, so I would increase them a couple cup sizes if I could afford it.

I caught pneumonia when I was only 2 weeks old. The doctor actually told my parents that if I didn't start showing some improvement soon that he was putting me in the hospital. I was knocking on death's door.

Deep forest. Seclusion, isolation, silence, and solitude are what I crave the most. The sea shore wouldn't be particularly bad if it wasn't for the fact that it's out in the open where people will be around all the time. So if you can set me up with this cabin deep in the woods, a mile from the nearest road, I'm in hog heaven.

Actually, Sissy is the more mischievous of the two. But we also picked up a rottweiler puppy a few days ago as well. His name is Prometheus. Once I can get a decent pic or two, I'll post them as well.

There are a couple of young strikers playing for the top teams in Europe, such as Nicolas Jackson and Rasmus of Manchester United. Do you have in mind any of them that will go on to score lots of goals next season?
-
Victor Oshimehn has been heavily linked with joining PSG. Do you think it is time for him to make the move from Napoli? He has been linked with moving to Chelsea last season as well.

I have been reading in the reports that Vincent Kompany will be heading to Bayern Munich to become the new manager. Do you think a manager that relegated Burnley can do well with Bayern Munich?

Xabi Alonso presented a strange lineup in their match against Atlanta last night. This was a game where everyone was expecting the German team to play their strikers, but the Spanish manager went with a strange lineup and ended up losing. Do you think that contributed to the loss?

Mobile Phone Bills: What's Your Monthly Spending?
Knight Barida replied to killamch89's topic in Mobile
When it comes to data subscriptions, I spend around 10 dollars at max for a month subscription that I use to do a lot of things on my mobile device. I must say that it is never easy paying that much, but I have been able to spend that because of my needs for data connection on a daily basis. -
I see religion being used as a tool to control the masses. It has worked well for the government in power many years in the past, and it is still working. As a matter of fact, I think that the world would have been a better place without the presence of religious groups.

Right on point. I used to watch the sports when I was having some free time during the weekend and it is not the same thing now. Personally, I think we have top athletes in that sports.

Is Manchester City winning it back to back?
Knight Barida replied to Knight Barida's topic in Sports
Arsenal couldn't keep up with the momentum again. To be honest, it is never easy to chase Manchester City especially at the end side of the season and Arsenal has done it again and again in two seasons. I see City pushing to winning it again next season as well.
