My list consists of one orange and several black ones.
One of the black ones is metal.
It is a very nice bucket.
"Goosebumps".

Hey, what do you expect.
The human default setting is survival.
Safety in numbers.
Tolerance.
Discrimination and mistrust
Fight or flight.
Emotional bonding is probably limited to pair bonding and parental bonding, but cannot be assured.
Love is overthink.

So Amber, in my opinion:
We are all ideologues to a degree.
With regards to the subject of "trans", I am indifferent and try to understand the bigger picture.
Whereas you feel threatened and are therefore resentful.
I'm just guessing that you are heavily influenced by social media lobbyists on both sides of the fence.
Those that flaunt themselves and irk you, and those that preach ideological intolerance which resonates in accordance to your conditioned mindset.
Whereas I sit on the fence.
Though if I feel unthreatened, I will always err on the side of tolerance.
Such is how my mindset has been influenced and developed.
So what is it that worries you so much?
Have you actually given much thought to the bigger picture?
And as I see it, anyone who seeks to promote a contentious ideology, is going to inevitably instil a level of paranoia in themselves.

@Saad
A Zedku for Saad.
Yep.
Ritual baloney a go go.
Go wash your feet and bob up and down on a carpet.
Go put on your best bonnet and sing praise to the lord.
Go bash your head against a wall.
And any other daft stuff that for some reason might seem appropriate.
What I like to do is sit quietly, enjoy a cup of tea and then have a nap.
Hey! I'm a crazy bastard too.
Regards.
Don't be sad Saad.

A Zedku for the People
Dogs bark and sheep bleat.
Clever stupid gene.
Yin and Yang.
Trump will be dead soon enough.
And then ordinary Americans will once again,
Bleat over two more overpriced egos.
It's a tradition.
It's culture
As is death.

Well, I barely remember anything from school.
I doubt that this is an accurate statement.
You may not choose to utilise a lot of your formatively programmed data.
It will just have been stored, rather than erased.
The ongoing necessity of data manipulation is dedicated to the here and now.
And you will still utilise essential learned information, such as literacy and numeracy.

Well.
Your ideas are stuck in the past, and ignore the significance of technological progress
Collectively though, both are perhaps essential factors in the slow process of intellectual and material evolution.
Alternatively, nothing matters at all.
If only we knew
Perhaps it's essential that we don't know.
But of course, if nothing matters then nothing matters.
You decide for yourself Mall.
Though it seems to me that liberal, intellectually progressive societies have already exceeded old style family values.

You too are an ideologue, who would seek to trample the rights and safety of others.
Paranoia also comes under the broad umbrella of mental illness.

The idea is efficient.
It's the stupidity of humans that isn't.
And the greed of those that would be permitted to make financial profit from the idea.

Mental programming is what it is.
And some might suggest that American gun lust is a mental illness.
And some might say that religiously inspired sexual angst promotes mental illness.
Not to overlook the potential of environmental contaminants.
Nonetheless, if someone enjoys buggering ladyboys and ladyboys enjoy being buggered, then I don't give a damn.
To overthink and over-worry about other peoples lives, perhaps also comes under the broad umbrella of mental illness.
Sperm and eggs procreate organic intelligence, though the vehicles are less of a practical necessity these days.
Such is evolution.
Just as A.I. is evolution.
And our lives are a fleeting universal nanosecond.
Get over it, stop worrying about other peoples sexuality.
And enjoy your own life whilst you have the chance..

@Lemming
Hi Lemming.
I would suggest that challenges come in all shapes and sizes.
And that there is stress and then there is stress.
Comprising two broad categories; mental and physical.
Which are nonetheless, inextricably linked.
If life and survival under whatever circumstances is deemed to be tough, then wellbeing is impacted.
But if life and survival, though equally as physically and mentally demanding, is deemed to be enjoyable, then wellbeing is enhanced.
It's really about how individuals and to an extent families and societies, have been programmed to overthink and respond to physiological challenges.

Economy is all about the distribution and redistribution of wealth, and criminality has always been an integral part of the system.
And whipping doesn't deter thieves; it just satisfies the lust of the self-righteous.
Of course, some would say that capitalism is morally criminal anyway.
And if Udog reidentifies, then that's cool by me.
Nope, if you want to punish thieves, put them to socially beneficial work.
Social gardening, litter picking, cleaning etc.
Make them wear orange overalls if you like.
And confiscate their mobile devices for the duration.

@Owen_T
Such is the USA , it's people, and how it's people are still subject to the oppression of archaic generational data transfer.
Over here in the UK, church is just the playroom for committed old diehards.
And to say that one is a Christian, is basically to say that one does flower arranging.
And one doesn't go around proclaiming atheism, one just gets on with other stuff on a Sunday.
Like cycling.
Shopping and pub dinners are also very popular.
Not that one doesn't appreciate church architecture, graveyards and campanology.
And then there are urban Muslims; still to a greater degree, subject to the oppression of archaic generational data transfer.
Though to be fair, more and more are becoming non-practicing, and simply identify as Muslim.
Self discrimination is inevitable I suppose.

Why worry about fighting China?
Jealous or something?
What people want is, supposedly MAGA, and cheap goods.
And China can deliver. cheap goods.
And capitalists like Trump will get rich in the process.
And the ordinary working person will stay just about the same.
And the red hat brigade, without a second thought, will continue to bleat in praise of their orange god.

@IlDiavolo
OSISI.
Omni-Sensible Interventionist Super- Intelligence.
Is a reasonable hypothesis.
GOD is a Grand Old Deity,
And is naievly analogical,
As you suggest.
Jesus et al, are no more or no less spurious contactees
So, hypothetically we're all singing from the same hymn sheet.
Albeit slightly out of tune.
Of course it might all be an inevitable but universally unknown agglomeration of sub-atomic particles.
Speculation is rife.
And all hypotheses lack definitive evidence.
But where did all those f'ing particles come from?

MAGA.
Is a simple acronym and unlikely to be forgotten.
Except by most people most of the time.
Until such times when someone mentions it, and it is remembered.
In between such times, most people have a lot of more mundane but essential stuff to consider.
What does "I was a relovetion Paul Hard" mean?
Seemingly one of the first things that Trump needs to sort out is illiteracy.
Only joking.
Whether or not America was ever great, is open to discussion, anyway.
Britain was great once, and we have the name to prove it.
But Today just like America we are a nation amongst a global internet community of other nations.
Or is it just a "white" mans fading delusion thing Wylted?

The first thing for the Administration to tackle will be how to run the nation, whilst simultaneously making the President elect feel that he is still important and included in the process.
Perhaps send him on an all expenses world tour in a private Jet.

Tao for all, requires universal equality of everything.
But I'm not sure if Tao for all is compatible with universal progression.
And I'm also not sure if Taoists are always as content as they say they are.

Yep it's over.
Time to start saving up for the next presidential election circus.
And carry on as usual in the interim.
Let's hope that next time, there are two candidates who can actually string a coherent sentence together.
But don't count your chickens.

Same question as ever.
Who does the U.S. owe $123 trillion to, and who is going to collect the debt?
Money is one of those make-believe realities.
Bottom line is, we either, let people starve to death or succumb to common illnesses, or we don't.
Everything else is a bonus.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, truthiness indeed.
And although I can't imagine aliens attacking Earth,
Hypothetically they could be the size of a microbe, or the size of of something very very big.
Notwithstanding that libertarians can be hypocritical when necessary.
Of course the biggest blow to modern persons ideas would be the banning of personal computing and communication devices.
We are now as addicted to them, as we are to not walking devices....Lets ban them too.
Computing is only necessary for clever folk, so that they can eventually escape Prison Earth.
And not walking devices create fat lazy people..
My advice to you is, stay at home and dream of Blaire White.
Then you won't end up in heaven with Ashli.
Riots are for libertarians with nothing better to do.
And in my opinion anything attacking from an interstellar or intergalactic position, probably has the edge.
Best hide when they turn up.
As it was said.

Straying from the previous a tad, but OK.
So are you saying that raping young and middle aged ladies is less of an issue.
Though for sure, self defence is an option and various methods and tools are available.
Nonetheless, murder is still a disproportionate option.
However, I'm still not sure that Ashli Babbitt was being raped.
And nor was she an old lady.

Well my satirical response to your cynical question inevitably contained dark humour.
Nonetheless.
Approximately 7700 people die everyday in the US.
130ish of which are gun related deaths.
Just a fact of American life, that Americans take for granted.

National debt is a farce.
An education maybe compulsory, but is not necessarily forced.
Young minds are keen to learn stuff, so it might as well be useful stuff.
Because a modern cohesive society, doesn't really need, a whole load of illiterate, innumerate dimwits.
Which makes you wonder if Trump supporters ever went to school.
Only joking.

Sadly, "recently" suggests that he probably missed his opportunity.
Sadly also, approximately 7700 per day miss their opportunity too.
Of course, the eligible voting public will be replenished on a daily basis; though these days most of those will be transsexual and probably vote blue.
Maybe that's a slight exaggeration?

Over here "Hockey" is played either on grass or a synthetic alternative, and is in the main, a good natured affair.
Ice Hockey is played but is not widely popular, and I'm not sure if fighting is or isn't allowed.
Though I tend to find spectator sports tedious anyway.
So 0% for me.

Maybe so, maybe not.
Which doesn't negate the fact that human behaviour does affect Earth systems.
Whereas, a government is responsible for a nation, and all that such responsibility entails.
Though some people have a tendency to think that government is an ongoing conspiracy organisation.
And for sure, if humanity became extinct tomorrow, the Earth would continue to spin and orbit and change, until such times when the Sun gave up the ghost, or other forces intervened.
Nonetheless, we remain clueless, until one knows of a purposeful reason for matter and it's existence, and us.
In the mean time, we just have to keep plodding on as best we can.
