Politics and hidden agendas, basically. Rich, powerful people get what they want through bribery and they force propaganda onto people, which usually sticks for those who don't have a good background (it feels better to blame things on other people and you'll end up hatin ghtme because you've been told to). Those who control such things always want more because they are mentally ill and there is profit in war, but not in looking after people. The rest of us look on and feel despair at this situation, but it's hard for us to make a difference.

I would say; sheer greed, superiority and the desire for power / control. The problem is that many of these people get so disconnected from reality that they have no idea how badly they're hurting others. Or they just don't care. Or worst- they enjoy it. Other people are no longer human beings with thoughts and feelings, they're just things to use and abuse. They love feeling like they're above the rest of us, and delight in keeping others under their thumb. No amount of money will ever be enough for these people. They simply hoard wealth, do everything possible to get more, and do everything in their power to avoid paying out their fair share for living in the society they're exploiting. I agree, it's unthinkable and it's taken me years to unwrap the mindset. It's scary.

Hate usually doesn't have a logical reason. It could be that they were themselves despised for being LGBTQ. It could be that they were influenced by others of the LGBTQ community who were hated on. People can be sheep and too few think for themselves. It doesn't make it right but that's life.

It's not really something that's conscious or anything. It's something that's been there since birth. The physical reality of being female is not the same as the mental or emotional reality of being female; the former is obviously not something that people like myself can experience at a true 1:1 level. The latter two, however, are just biochemistry when you get right down to it. And we just happen to have a brain biochemistry that more closely matches females than males. Direct result: we relate to females far more easily than males in spite of our physical form.

Peer pressure to have the next best thing and being raised like that. Sometimes it takes the rug being pulled out from under you to wake up. I remember living in an 8 bedroom home with a three car garage. Everyone had their own snowmobile, we had a slide going on the second story wrap around porch. We were loaded. Fast forward 15 years and a huge change later and we are rolling quarters for a loaf of bread. Talk about a wakeup call. I value money for the fact that it puts food in my kids' bellies and a roof over their head but I don't value it so much that I won't pay the extra needed amount for a customer in front of me. I don't feel that I would have this mentality if that rug wasn't pulled out from under me.

What is a valid reason as to why people want to have biological kids?

Like why would people want to bring another human being into a crappy world knowing you’ll have to work your ass off to provide for and raise (or hire a nanny to do it for you). Why would anyone want to voluntarily put themselves in a situation of sleepless nights and constant worry? Genuinely asking as no one I have asked before has been able to give me an valid answer. (I’ve meet so many parents that wished they’ve never had kids, but they do love their kids to death and wouldn’t have it any other way, but if they could choose again, they would not have them. Or others that say “it’s totally worth it!” And are completely broke, tired and stressed. But why is it worth it? Others straight up tell me “don’t have kids.” They’re a lot of work.)

Thanks!!!

Why do the left, and right argue? We're both getting f****d, I believe the system is inherently wrong if we are all are out here believing there are only 2 sides. I think it is a means to keep us arguing with eachother, so we don't stand up do something about it.
Now mind you I understand when people argue just to argue the point their side is trying to make, or this undying loyalty to a civil servant. That is worth taking notice of. Though in the end I believe most of us can find more than a few reasons to dislike our own side of the aisle. We all just have the shitty decision of which side is the lesser of 2 evils so our "freedom to choose" is not wasted. I just wanna know when the general population is going to come to this understanding so we can put the blame where it belongs.

Most people do not mellow with age. People mellow in terms of admitting their faults, admitting their less-than-amazing impact upon the world, but those are internal thoughts. Externally, older folks, I'm afraid, can readily become like you feel you are. Older folks are less tolerant, less interested in youthful endeavors. And then, for men, we have much less testosterone in our bodies, which slows us down and makes us look more "mellow".

1) Coming out is extremely personal and there is no "right way" to do it. If you feel more comfortable doing it slowly then you have every right. The first time I came out it was to a very close family member who I trusted, not the whole world. 2) This is not often the case. Most parents have more children because they genuinely want to expand their family. For those couples who do have children to make an older child happy (I can't talk because I don't have children) but it's possible they feel responsible for making sure the child has someone who they can be close with and that they have a constant friend. A sibling is usually the perfect fit. It's true siblings do fight but having companions that will stick with you through your entire life is important. 3) Spacing. Most school have to may students to handle so in order to be able to fit enough lockers for everyone they have to make them tiny. If they were any bigger there wouldn't be enough space for the number of lockers needed.

It's something we used to do, but it's not true anymore, and honestly never really has been. The very fact that you say that work has nothing to do with reward is directly antithetical to capitalism.

When in history did white people start to think they were better than everyone else? And how does a thin skin layer and pale eyes equate to supremacy?

Never. I am sick of people generalising whites and pretending that everybody else is an inocent saint. All big civilizations are based on conquest, violence and discrimination. Its not a matter of race, its that humans are horrible. Look at the bantu tribes masacrating the san and stealing their lands.

People have the right to die. Yeh, therapy and a bunch of serious conversations first but it's their body, their life and their right. I'm not saying it should be easy or a quick decision but if your life isn't going to get better or is only going to get worse that should be a choice you can take. I don't know the exact answer for those with children, but I also wonder if a kid being brought up with a suicidal parent is good for them anyway. Case by case I guess. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This is right - to an extent. I believe that before anyone is allowed to commit su!c!de they should be obliged to talk to their family and friends. Sometimes knowing how much you're going to be missed can turn your entire life around. It's the only thing that stopped me many times.

Do god really exist? Or we just made the heaven and hell thing just to comfort our feelings. Like if you die younger or die struggling and the promise that everything just gonna be fine never comes, they will just said "oh atleast he is not suffering in heaven" or we just want to believe that there's more punishment than death to sll the person commiting these crimes

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Epicurus

This is something that has been bothering me for a while now. why the blacks aren't proud of the word negro. why that world is synonym of insult, when it should be a source of pride. I hope i won't offend anyone. but for me there's no more beautiful word than the word negro

As a black person myself, I don't like people who are not black saying the n-word or negro. Yes, we are reclaiming it, but it is not "beautiful." It is a reminder of slavery, abuse, rape, and degratory names my ancestors were called. I myself use the n-word sometimes because I am reclaiming it, but please DON'T call it beautiful.

Until every person is free to be themselves and free to make their own decisions, humanity will be a disappointment.

We are not hopeful of humanity pulling itself out of the mess we've put ourselves into. Instead, we are desperately hopeful of technology solving our problems.

As long as we cling to technology and urge it to do our evolving FOR us, we're boned.

Are thumbs considered fingers? Are cucumbers and tomatoes fruits or vegetables?

Yes they are fingers. Both are fruits but socially (and often legally) they are considered vegetables.

You can have more than one anyway. Could be useful I guess.

People who want to get married/believe in marriage:

Why so many years dating to see if the person is “the one?” What things need to be found out that can’t simply be asked? I mean people who date for 2+ years and still remain uncertain.

People "act" a certain way for a long time, and only reveal their true selves with time. I was fooled by my ex into thinking he valued strong women with their own opinions...he told me this verbally even. Turned out not to be true after we got married. Me asking him wouldn't have mattered, because he lied. It's kind of like the way most racists will deny it if asked...

Why don't we base eligibility for male/female sports on the presence of XX or XY chromosomes?

Because the findings from such a determination might contradict how someone FEELS, and that. Is. Verboten!!

All other animals are classified as different species within the same genus, based on measurable biological differences and variations in appearance. Why aren't humans?

We are. Homo is the genus, sapiens is the species. Before us there were other species.

Why does Hollywood and the western media industry hold on to the current trend of making movies for virtue signaling?

Viewer numbers are low, people stop listening to "The Message" and overall it seem like a big failure on every regard

"Jimmy Crack Corn" or "Blue Tail Fly" is an American song which first became popular during the rise of blackface minstrelsy in the 1840s through performances by the Virginia Minstrels. It regained currency as a folk song in the 1940s at the beginning of the American folk music revival and has since become a popular children's song. Over the years, several variants have appeared. Most versions include some idiomatic African American English, although General American versions now predominate. The basic narrative remains intact. On the surface, the song is a black slave's lament over his white master's death in a horseriding accident. The song, however, is also interpreted as having a subtext of celebration about that death and of the slave's having contributed to it through deliberate negligence or even deniable action.

If you tripped over and put your hand out to break your fall and that hand splats in a freshly laid poop, would you rather it be dog poop or human poop?

Dog, because there is a less likely chance that any bacteria/virus it may contain is transmittable to humans.

Evolution and religion cannot coexist. We are apes, we evolved from a common ancestor with chimps/bonobos about 8 million years ago and had many other species in between. Adam&Eve was just a tale to explain things before science explained them.
