Bye bye.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

My credit is excellent. I've never missed a payment on anything in my life.
Umm, yeah. I think...
Own my house outright.
Anyway, checked my rating and it's around 800, before this van.Long time member @ Apolyton

Humans make mistakes, but we've made a lot of progress too. Why focus on the mistakes?

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

One of my first memories was the Cuban missile crisis. I was only 4 yrs old, but I recall hiding under my desk at school, the tension of my parents...
So many messes since then, one after another it seems like. Things got better with the demise of the Soviet Union. I don't think humanity is on the edge of blowing away the whole world anymore.
Little pissant extremeist countries with nukes...that's a concern. North Korea or Iran or some poor Russian sells a nuke to a Bin Laden and it's bye bye New York or London or Paris or Berlin or Rome. Imagine if a moslem extremeist group nuked the vatican...
Seems to me that this generation has a much more confused situation to deal with, and like any grumpy old fart looking at the following generation, I wonder if they have whatever the hell it takes to prevail. Excellent critics however...
For me, I'm 45, my hair is turning silver, my bones ache on cool wet days, and sometimes after a heavy freight night, I'm profoundly weary. I feel that I have lost some of the blind optimism of my youth, and with it my hope for a good outcome.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."

Best thing one can do with these foreign extremeist government types is pop em one if they answer the question wrong. Next time, they get it right. Either way they're going to hate us so...
