It’s amazing sometimes how some actors can play certain roles yet be so utterly naïve. Makes me think acting really is a real talent even some brainless can have. Take Chris Pratt, loved him in Guardians of the Galaxy, great sense of humor. The character he plays that is, Chris in real life is quite the christian nutter. Take Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, dumb af, super blonde. Couldn’t find a treasure or rob a safe if it was on sale at Wallmart. Matthew McConaughey, plays some pretty smart characters, also Matthew McConaughey after acting emotional over a shooting victim: “responsible gun ownership” and “civil society and the 2A”… oxymorons, bordering gibberish. If you don‘t lay down your arms after a war the war goes on. That wheel was invented long before the 2A.

Does anyone else find this relevant?
I do.
My mother died when I was 16 & my father whom I knew didn't care for me (never, ever said he loved me until he was on his death bed/way too late) drove/placed me on a destructive path that to this day, after years of searching & therapy (that's when drugs/alcohol entered the picture) for something that would change my attitude & find true peace & that never happened.
So, after years of searching I simply gave up and am now a recluse. (except for RIU/Politics)
Nothing ever worked to bring me true peace (being Bi-Polar didn't help the situation)
So, I gave up searching/quit my job & grew pot to make a living, sitting in my basement playing with my plants.
Yup, I said fuck it & walked/ran away from Society
Smartest thing I ever did

Everyone should find that relevant. You have to love yourself and be true to yourself and people don't always recognize when they aren't.
Sounds like you had a very hard life early on. I can't imagine losing my mom at 16 with a dad who couldn't say "I love you." when you're both grieving! Your dad had serious problems.
We love you here though.
Peace

That's for fucking sure.
When I dropped out college at the end of my 2nd year, he threw me out of the house & I crashed with friends for the next year until I got a serious job & got my own place.
I never spoke to him again until I was 30 when somehow, he found me & called telling me he was dying of cancer & would I come home, which of course I did & left my future wife to wipe his ass & feed him for the next year & a half until he went to a hospice.
The night before he died, he told me he was sorry & that I was a "good boy & he loved me & was sorry for the way he treated me"
Fuck him
Much too late
@Rob RoyI have to meter these out. Here's the first installment @Rob Roy..enjoy friend

Mormons love the smell of arsenic in the morning. Solid republicans those folks and it looks like they fucked themselves. A lot of the republican south will be under water in a few decades, another bunch of republicans who fucked themselves, they had a greater cause.

As the Great Salt Lake Dries Up, Utah Faces 'An Environmental Nuclear Bomb'

SALT LAKE CITY — If the Great Salt Lake, which has already shrunk by two-thirds, continues to dry up, here’s what’s in store:
The lake’s flies and brine shrimp would die off — scientists warn it could start as soon as this summer — threatening the 10 million migratory birds that stop at the lake annually to feed on the tiny creatures. Ski conditions at the resorts above Salt Lake City, a vital source of revenue, would deteriorate. The lucrative extraction of magnesium and other minerals from the lake could stop.
Most alarming, the air surrounding Salt Lake City would occasionally turn poisonous. The lake bed contains high levels of arsenic and as more of it becomes exposed, windstorms carry that arsenic into the lungs of nearby residents, who make up three-quarters of Utah’s population.
“We have this potential environmental nuclear bomb that’s going to go off if we don’t take some pretty dramatic action,” said Joel Ferry, a Republican state lawmaker and rancher who lives on the north side of the lake.
As climate change continues to cause record-breaking drought, there are no easy solutions. Saving the Great Salt Lake would require letting more snowmelt from the mountains flow to the lake, which means less water for residents and farmers. That would threaten the region’s breakneck population growth and high-value agriculture — something state leaders seem reluctant to do.
Utah’s dilemma raises a core question as the country heats up: How quickly are Americans willing to adapt to the effects of climate change, even as those effects become urgent, obvious, and potentially catastrophic?

Wanna make a bunch of blue collar Ohioans really uncomfortable?
Just point out that the film "300" is perhaps the gayest film ever made and watch them squirm as they realize that their favorite film is pure homoerotica.
I just wish there were a few openly gay guys to smile and say "he's right."

no, i was born a secular individual...my grandmother watched me when i was young, and took me to the Roaring Fork Baptist Church three times a week, because she was in the choir, and on the church board, so we went to church on sunday, i went and played outside on tuesdays and thursdays while she practiced with the choir or did what ever a member of a church board does...this made me very adverse to religion, and i've avoided belonging to one since...i haven't stepped inside a church in my entire adult life, since i was about 15 or 16
