it was reported on the news today that OJ Simpson died... and it give us pause to wonder about his legacy and ours... Why should this be important and worth pausing for? K: several questions come to mine: one, was OJ a good person? was he a bad person? No person is good, nor bad. All adult human be...

A rich, once talented asshole managed to get off for a crime he likely committed. The prosecution messed up with the glove and not vetting a certain cop very well, and the rich assholes incredibly expensive team went to town with every prosecution misstep. Rich people get off all the time. Many peo...

I was told after a psychological evaluation once upon a time that I may have feelings of "entitlement". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6552293/#:~:text=Psychological%20entitlement%20refers%20to%20an,Grubbs%20%26%20Exline%2C%202016). Okay. What do you mean by "Okay"...

That's odd. I thought I said exactly why I said what I did. Can you think of another reason I said what I said? I suppose vanity is also a possibility. Why do you think I said what I did? I do not know why you said what you said. The whole point of me asking you, 'In what sense are you saying, 'OK'...

I was told after a psychological evaluation once upon a time that I may have feelings of "entitlement". Psychological entitlement refers to an inflated and pervasive sense of deservingness, self-importance, and exaggerated expectations to receive special goods and treatment without recipr...

My reply includes that response of mine also. you seem to have completely lost or misunderstood here. That's odd. I thought I said exactly why I said what I did. Can you think of another reason I said what I said? I suppose vanity is also a possibility. Why do you think I said what I did? I do not ...

Age: What I will first note here is how you previously claimed that "he" killed two other is clear, but now you say that "he" only almost certainly killed two. So, I will suggest you decide what the actual irrefutable Truth is before you go on questioning other things here. you ...

Nobody in your entire life, or anybody else's, made somebody DO something simply by KNOWING he would, Will. They're just different verbs. I'm sure we both understand that make in itself is two different verbs: coerce and create. Well, yes...and more, actually. "Make" has several synonyms....

it was reported on the news today that OJ Simpson died... and it give us pause to wonder about his legacy and ours... to get the obvious out of the way, that he killed Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman is clear.... but he was legally found innocent... so, he is, legally, innocent... but what sort of ...

virtually all of my writing come from one of three questions... One: What am I to do? Whatever you want to do. Two: What can I believe in? Absolutely ANY thing. Three: What can I know? Again, absolutely ANY thing. and even at my age, I still can't tell what I am supposed to know, do or believe in.....

I said what I have said in the hopes that the world will be a little better than it was when I first encountered it. Or even if it merely continues another generation or more, that would be worthwhile also. Other than that, I don't know why else I've said what I've said. I am still just referring t...

Now, would you like to share the reason/s why you have said what you have here? I said what I have said in the hopes that the world will be a little better than it was when I first encountered it. Or even if it merely continues another generation or more, that would be worthwhile also. Other than t...

Well, Age, as my unrequited love used to always tell me, "two sickies do not a wellie make." I have absolutely no idea at all what you are actually talking about and meaning here. Which confirms my statement above it. We can't cure each other, Age. We're where we are and that's about it. ...

Why are you asking? As always, 'I am curios and interested to learn and know more'. Are you saying, 'ok', in the sense, that what I have said and written here is just my view, you accept and agree with the definition/s of what 'God is' that I have provided here, or something else? What else am I su...

I'm stubborn and it's usually my way or the highway. I realize this in some sense, but I just can't back down from confrontation or head butting. I'm like a moth attracted to a flame. How does a person change the way one feels about conflict? I assume, step 1 is to want to and in order to want to, ...
