Here's some advice; if you don't want to be insulted, stop behaving like someone who deserves it. And stop being dumb and uneducated while you're at it. 🙂 Are you for real? "Stop being dumb and uneducated while you're at it." That's profound. Please, go harass somebody else. Only if you p...

It seems to me this question ... This is why man could never survive without God. The objectification of morality has led to nearly every horrible thing that has ever happened in the human sphere. What could the word "horrible" possibly mean in a subjectivist moral paradigm? Your horror i...

You cannot compare such a mutual respect between two lovers, with the effects of irresponsible drug taking... :? that's just a dumb uneducated guess to say the least. Here's some advice...if you want to have an interesting conversation, leave out the personal insults. This isn't middle school. Here...

I don't understand your comment. Why would a man and woman's capacity to give and receive mutual pleasure from each other, result in profound misery? 🤔 For the same reason that taking drugs does. The pursuit of pleasure is a VERY dangerous path. Sacrifice and the assumption of responsibility are th...

Another interesting tidbit concerning men and women in the modern age has to do with the power women have amassed over the past fifty years or so. Since women are essentially creatures that are safety-driven [because of their fear of every damn thing], they have used much of their new found power in...

Having what you want, and wanting what you have...is the ultimate satisfaction for both Men and Women. You are kidding, right? Although that might work [momentarily] for the hedonist in us all, this path results in profound misery [look out any window for unlimited examples]. I don't understand you...

The short answer is, "You can't." What's MUCH more interesting is why you would want to change another person's mind in the first place. But back to the original proposition... Let's assume that you could actually understand how and why another person thinks the way they do. IOW, you could...

Yes, still mind clears the deck for clarity. Balance: “This distinctive Buddhist orientation towards meditation can be summed up concisely. Meditation consists of two aspects or components.

"The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means...

I just wanted to point out how women generally communicate. And if you believe you have any clue how I, "see things," then you are delusional. Just stick to the issue and stop trying to psychoanalyze and judge. You cannot possibly understand another person's motivations [they can't even u...

One of the best things about getting older [as a guy] is that your genitalia no longer controls your mind. When you begin to see how much the natural desire to partake in reproduction [as a younger man] controls your behavior [and how much women exploit this], you look at women VERY differently. Thi...

Although nothing lays bare the virulence of ideology more than the Political, ideology [particularly in its language form] has infected all matters of human intercourse. And this outcome has been fostered by man's insistence that it is the intellectual [rather than the spiritual] that must serve as ...

Maybe you didn't explain it well. I think this does a fair job, based on my experience with my angel. What should I add? Women are beautiful, lovely, nurturing, the core of the family.
