Let's see how good the people of GAG are. Here's a list of simple questions any morally decent person can do. How many of them do you pass?

1. Do you try to be a good person daily and help others in any small way you can?

2. Do you usually treat others, especially strangers, with respect (until they give you a reason not to)?

3. Do you try to understand other people's point of view at times, especially when you disagree with them? (Empathy)

4. Are you the type to stand up for essential freedom and speak out against evil, tyranny, and oppression of others, regardless which side of politics it comes from?

5. Do you positively contribute to society in any meaningful way? (Teacher, doctor, lawyer, nurse, assistant, donor to charity, etc.)

6. Are you a person with a clean lifestyle? (No smoking, vaping, drug abuse including marijuana, alcohol, gambling, etc.)

7. Are you a sexually clean person? (No promiscuity, no sleeping around, no STD's, no degeneracy like an al sex, rim jobs, etc)

8. Are you a decent partner or potential partner to others? (No hitting, no abuse, no insulting)

9. Are you monogamous and loyal to your partner or would-be partner? (No cheating, no disrespect)

10. Are you against the death or killing of others? (Whether that be by "Constitutionally-protected" firearms or pre-childbirth; I'm not getting into the political argument crap)

Note: Being religious or heterosexual/non-queer is not required to be a good person, but it may sometimes help, depending on the circumstance.

Let's just arbitrarily say, you need 7 or 8 of these to pass as a good, decent human being.
So... ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON OR NOT? (I'm option B, for what it's worth.)

And yes, I left anonymous opinions on, even though I know that's how all the trolls and jerks on GAG only ever respond. I guess I'm opening it for the good people, even if some cockroaches also slip in through the door.

"A record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God, down from 24% the last time the question was asked in 2017, and half of what it was at its high points in 1980 and 1984. Meanwhile, a new high of 29% say the Bible is a collection of "fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man." This marks the first time significantly more Americans have viewed the Bible as not divinely inspired than as the literal word of God.

Gallup has been asking Americans specifically about their views on a literal interpretation of the Bible since 1976, with the latest update coming in Gallup's May Values and Beliefs survey.

The shift in attitudes about the Bible is not an isolated phenomenon. It comes even as a number of indicators show a decline in overall religiosity in the U. S. adult population. These measures include declines in formal identification with a religion, self-reported membership in a church, self-reported religious service attendance, personal importance of religion, and a decline in belief in God. Thus, it is not surprising to find that views on the nature of the Bible have shifted in a less religious direction as well."

I find this fascinating

So my online friend has been acting distant lately. Left me on read on Wednesday (though my message didn't really require a response tbh), then I sent another text on Thursday (about something unrelated). She replied on Friday, said that she had been busy lately (preparing stuff for the weekend because she was apparently going to some events). OK, fine. I reply to her on Friday, she replies exactly 24 hours later on Saturday. On Saturday, I reply again, then send another message (invitation to spend time together because we haven't done it in a few weeks). Still no response after 2 days. I told myself: "She'll not hear from me again 'till she texts me".

She texts me on the 3rd day and says "Hey! I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling really good lately" (she didn't word it like that, but I guess that's pretty much what it meant). Then, she says that she hopes I'm feeling good and she asks me what I thought of the latest episode of the tv show that we both watch. She texted this very early in the morning, so I replied like 3 hours later (when I woke up). She still hasn't replied. But, we text on a website that doesn't send push notifications, so that might explain why she hasn't replied yet. But I don't want to check if she has read it (or else she'll see that I was active not long ago and probably believe that I'm obsessing over if she has read it or not). Saying this because she knows that I pretty much only chat with her on that website. I just don't understand, she literally apologized this morning for being inactive and now she's back at it again.

Anyway, now, my question is (please vote in the poll): should I stop texting her first and not double text as well (even if she might actually not be feeling all that good at the moment)? And should I ask her if she wishes to keep contact with me (could explain that I'm feeling a distance in the friendship)?

On G@G, members are rewarded with Xper point (s) for making the Most Helpful Opinion (MHO) on a Question, Poll or MyTake.

The member who posts the Question, Poll or MyTake also gets an Xper point when they select the MHO (s), typically one per gender. If the member doesn't select one after a few days, the G@G system automatically selects the MHO (s).

Today's question is...
When you post a Question, Poll or MyTake, do you select the MHO (s) for it, or do you let the G@G system do it?

Please vote in the poll [and] leave a comment.

That would be nice. Thanks :)
