ParticipantI want the whole world my way. Especially where I am interested in buying or have bought real estate. Everything else is just fucking wrong. Me Me Me!
ParticipantTalking about how everyone is fucked up because they do x or don’t do y is just another way of bragging. That applies to social assistance. Our kids are the real moochers, getting all this material stuff and trips all over the place and enrichment learning before they ever even do one damn thing for society.
Getting houses, cars and cash passed down to them just because they were lucky enough to be pigg kids, moochers I tell you. The poor kids really don’t get shit, everybody eats and even the wealthiest person can have public education for their kid if the want it. Shame on us.Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]god specifically wants me to be a coffee addict, I have it in writing , so it’s almost biblical.[/quote]
Interestingly science says prayer worsens medical outcomes, but only when the prayer target knows he is being prayed over. Theory: pressure to get better to prove supernatural effects makes person worse. If no knowledge, no effect.
Not that this has anything to do with the existence of G-d. He might be displeased by specified or public prayers. Theres some textual support for the latter. He might just not care specifically. But it is indisputable: praying 4 others publicly is very unhealthy. Google 4 details.
No study yet on whether praying 4 specific kid outcome scholastic ally helps, but probably hurts if u tell them…[/quote]

ParticipantNot going to address this 30 year old living at home successful person? What if it was someone who could do elder care and protection services at home while also be useful in other ways outside the home. No, they should move to Albuquerque and get a real life.
All kinds of people raised on welfare ,or getting income/ family size tax and other financial breaks are doing important things. I would say a majority of citizens have have had benefits of that at one time or another, for ourselves or our kids, but we are not all moochers or future moochers or 100% moochers?
It’s more like a sliding scale mooch thing . Like someone who works at wallmart but gets food stamps. That’s not a total moocher.ParticipantNo lie, I know a guy who lived at home when he was 30. He does a lot of important things including helping me build the house for his parents. He is always doing something important even when it doesn’t pay. I can’t say more because I don’t want to give away who he is. Happy and health “self-actualized” in Yungian terms. Even people who need to get by with welfare because they have kids even though they are poor. I don’t see anything wrong with that if they raise them well, Maybe the kids will pay it back to the society which they belong, meaning it is societies responsibility to raise kids too. Someone’s got to have kids and ours are going to be too worried about having a big house and portfolio to do it.
ParticipantLook at how comfortable we seem to be selling pipe dreams to our kids though.
Dreams of going to college(expensive and time consuming) and moving from friends and family and community for work that maybe pays a little better …but they might get a house, with the right future part time parent buying partner. That’s fine, but I bet it isn’t for a lot of kids(people) even if from “good” families. THe way you paint it BG, I hope almost everyone fails to launch , for their own sake.Some people need to have different priorities than all that, even if the end looking under achiever instead of a degreed cubicle rat. Heaven forbid , our kids look a little like underachieving artist types or “only a fireman” or something like that. I just tell mine that if you want to make your hobbies your priority , you might have to learn to live on little means, but you have to take care of yourself. There are no guarantees either way.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic]Smart kids are avoiding law. Lsat scores and bar passage rates are way down.
Law is shrinking. Not a good idea. No bueno.[/quote]
Unbundled services rock! Law needs a good smack down. Lawyers priced themselves out. Use sparingly.[/quote]Just no middle class to pay them and no insyrance. Think about it. In the absence of med. Insurance, docs would be screwed too.[/quote]
So how to you feel about that fact that cost effective or timely access to the justice system doesn’t exist for so many citizens, unless as perpetrators of bloody crimes or as the victims? Even those last issues are kind of a long shots for many.

Very pro-education and professional achievement, but keeping a farm suitable for several families and self sufficiency too. If you are barely going to squeak by, do it while having a reasonably good life rather than a slave in the stultifying “service economy” or someone equally shutdown on welfare.

December 3, 2015 at 11:02 AM in reply to: ot. BLM campus protests related to affirmative action… #791765ParticipantCloser to topic, I think the future is definitely in acceptance and promotion of the fact that we are all the same. I don’t know where affirmative action comes into that. Clearly those who have paid the price in recent times for pretending that we are not, mostly do have dark skin.
December 2, 2015 at 11:40 AM in reply to: ot. BLM campus protests related to affirmative action… #791726ParticipantProbably name a bunch of stuff after Dick Cheney. Like the Museum of Weapons of Mass Destruction or something like that.
ParticipantFew people know what their true max hr is but 177 is a pretty high percentage of max for anyone! That would be like an intense race effort unless you have a really above average max. My max is in the 180’s probably mid to low . My HR monitor on the Garmin and the treadmill are always the same , maybe +or – 1, but you can check that.
I never use those programs , I choose manual mode and make adjustments to the treadmill to what I want as needed.
