I'm old enough to not only have an AOL email address but still have an aol email address. My AOL email address turns 20 next year.

Imagine your female friend wants to have a baby but is single and doesn't trust anyone to be the father. She’s in her late 30s and worried she's running out of time to become a mother. You two are strictly platonic, but she asks you to donate sperm for IVF because she admires your qualities and knows you well. Would you donate?

No judgment just interested in hearing different perspectives.

The study of humanity is an important philosophical topic. It does influence political philosophy too. What do you think about the nature of people?

Hypothetical: President Trump eventually dies of natural causes. Would you celebrate his death or condemn those who do?

I currently am employed at a high school as a custodian, however I was moved temporarily for now to elementary, but I feel like I like elementary better and would get along there better because I have been a Pre+K teachers assistant and I have worked with elementary school ages kids in the past for church activities. High school just always seemed more bleh to me. Plus the people are a little more cagey.

If a girl simply says "no," she may worry that the guy will keep insisting or demand an explanation. By saying, "I have a boyfriend," she's essentially sending the message: "If you bother me anyway, you'll have another man to deal with."

In reality, though, truly loyal girls are quite rare.

Gavin Newsom says Democrats should welcome democratic-socialist candidates into the party’s broader coalition. Do you think embracing the Democratic Socialists of America would help Democrats win elections or drive away moderate voters?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has argued that Democrats should pursue “addition, not subtraction” and maintain a broad political coalition that includes democratic-socialist candidates. Supporters believe this could energize younger voters, progressives, union members, and people frustrated with the political establishment.

Critics argue that embracing the Democratic Socialists of America could attach the entire Democratic Party to proposals many Americans consider far outside the mainstream. Recent reporting on the DSA’s proposed platform has highlighted ideas such as abolishing the U. S. Senate, weakening or restructuring other constitutional institutions, expanding public control over major industries, and adopting sweeping immigration and criminal-justice changes.

Personally, I believe embracing the DSA would be political suicide for Democrats. It may help socialist candidates win in deeply progressive districts, but a national party also needs moderates, independents, suburban voters, and working-class Americans who do not want socialism or radical structural changes to the government.

Would accepting the DSA into the Democratic coalition broaden the party enough to win—or push it so far left that it becomes less competitive nationally?

Gavin Newsom said he would gladly campaign for democratic-socialist candidates and argued that Democrats should welcome ideological diversity rather than exclude that faction - https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/gavin-newsom-democratic-socialists-22339402.php

On this day, July 13, back in 2024, President Trump survived an assassination attempt after a bullet grazed his ear. The shots were fired at approximately 6:11 p. m., which immediately brings Ephesians 6:11 to mind: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

President Trump turned his head at the crucial moment, and the bullet struck his ear instead of taking his life. Some believe his survival was an act of divine providence, while others believe it was simply chance. Which best reflects your view?

Personally, I believe God intervened to preserve President Trump’s life that day. At the same time, firefighter Corey Comperatore was tragically killed while protecting his family. My deepest condolences and prayers remain with his wife, daughters, and loved ones.

I have numerous songs I sing along to, but I can imagine everyone knows all the words to Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, because no matter where you go, what ever you do, at the end of the evening, the song is always played.

Do you know the words to any other songs?

What is your opinion?
