| LotrMorgoth 08/30/17 6:44:11 PM #71 | LightningAce11 posted... Religion is a choice. Sexuality is what you're born with. to be fair, I don't think many religious people think of it as a choice. though I would like to add, that part of me hopes Christianity is true because these people are in for a shock when they meet their Maker and he's super pissed off at them for being assholes for no real reason --- "You will not be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

| LotrMorgoth 07/25/17 2:24:56 PM #2 | this is a dangerous precedent. It's also a significant misconstrual of duty to warn-- if anything, the obligation would be to trump himself to say you might wanna go get a full assessment to make sure you're okay. but this is over-reaching and will probably only ending reinforcing the trump supporters side that mental health is not legitimate --- "You will not be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

| Topic | 47% of Liberal Democrats say Trump support would strain a friendship |
| LotrMorgoth 07/24/17 11:44:41 AM #293 | admittedly i didn't read topic so take my comments with a huge grain of salt the way i look at it, trump supporters are in two larger groups: 1) those that are generally white nationalists who I wouldn't want to be friends with 2) those who make the argument that they voted for Trump because other issues were more important to them than the social issues I don't have much to say for 1, but for 2 it is really hard to sit with people who hear how much pain various minority groups are in and can seemingly overlook this and just say other things were more important to their vote. It's hard not to see that, for me anyhow, as incredibly dismissive --- "You will not be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

| LotrMorgoth 07/15/17 11:55:17 AM #10 | Fundamentally, insurance as a payment method for health has never really made sense to me the whole premise of insurance (especially for profit) is that more people pay into it without using it than people who need to use it. with the cost of healthcare what it is, one person using insurance is how many people not using it? i don't see this being brought up in the healthcare debate at all --- "You will not be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

| Topic | I had a dream I was getting chased by pterodactyls |
| LotrMorgoth 07/15/17 11:53:23 AM #4 | let's dream dictionary this and see what comes of it To dream that you are being chased by a dinosaur indicates your fears of no longer being needed or useful. Alternatively, being chased by a dinosaur, may reflect old issues that are still coming back to haunt you To see a lake in your dream signifies your emotional state of mind. You feel restricted and that you can't express your emotions freely. Alternatively, the lake may provide you with solace, security, and peace of mind. If the lake is clear and calm, then it symbolizes your inner peace. If the lake is disturbed, then you may be going through some emotional turmoil To see a gorilla in your dream suggests that you may be too "over the top" in your behavior. Perhaps you are compensating for your rigidity and stiffness in your waking life. Alternatively, the gorilla symbolizes your primitive impulses, wild nature and repressed sexual energy. Are you experiencing some kind of emotional distress recently? --- "You will not be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
