    Green Card problems

    I know this is a debate forum, but actually I just want to air the problem and see is anyone has any ideas that might help. I moved to the USA in 1989. I obtained a Green Card which identifies me as what was then called a Resident Alien (now Permanent Resident). That means I can live and work...

    Government shut down, enough already!

    The title says it all, but need to vent. This is probably mostly of interest to US residents, but if others that want to chime in with how it's done in their countries feel free to do so. What we have is a single party, no, one section of a party, the Republican Freedom Caucus in the House...

    Are you a "Lazy-girl"?

    Here's a link that describes it. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-career-goal-of-the-moment-is-a-lazy-girl-job-f5075c4e Basically it's not about being lazy (that was just an attention getter) but a reaction to the overwork that has been imposed on people (in the USA) in recent years. It seems...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    A while back, I posted a similar thread to this on a Christian forum. What I got from the pro-life people there was an emphatic "no". Abortion is murder and we won't rest until it's stamped out totally. I'd like to try again here, a more reasonable place, mostly. Here's the question. Looking...

    What was God doing ....

    This is aimed at our Jewish and Christian friends. Other faiths and atheists please stay out as your answers are obvious. Thanks! OK, when we read the Bible (OT), it's as if the whole world consisted of the Jewish people and those that came into contact with them. It's almost as if the rest of...

    How offended should we be?

    Years ago, when rock musicians were starting to grow their hair long, there was an interesting piece on British TV. Basically, a young man had been barred from technical college because his hair was long. They had the school principal and the young man on, with some others. It went on about...

    Gen Z hates periods

    This came up on CNN last night and I looked into it. It seems that Gen Zs do get offended by periods. (That's "full stops" to Brits and others, nothing to do with menstruation). Here's a link. Gen Z Hates The ‘Full Stop’ My reaction? Once, young people were known for brashness, insensitivity...

    Let's see what ChatGPT has to say

    For those that don't know, ChatGPT is a new AI program that can be used to generate text on a requested subject. Out of interest, I asked it the following. Give an argument against the theory of evolution. It came back with this. One common argument against the theory of evolution is that it...

    Heinlein, fascinating article

    I'm putting this in "Politics" but it has its religious implications. This is an article I just came across, there's so much of value in it that you're going to have to read it, sorry. Heinlein’s Future History: Coming True Before Our Eyes Basically it discusses some of Robert Heinlein's...

    I hate surveys

    This is the next thread in my series of things I hate. We've had "tipping". What will be next??? Anyway, sometimes it seems that every time I blow my nose the manufacturers of the tissue I used want me to complete a survey. Every time I buy something there's a survey invitation on the the...

    Tipping

    Tipping ... giving extra money to someone despite having already paid for the goods or services. (Not turning things over). I'll start with an acknowledgement that this is a very emotional subject for many people, particularly wait-staff. No offense is intended, and I hope you will see that...

    I hate commercials

    Not the old style static commercials, like a sheet stuck to a wall. I started to hate them when they first appeared on TV, with their stupid jingles, half-truths, and endless repetition. They've got worse over the years as advertisers have learned how press our buttons more successfully. I...

    "Quiet Quitting" - it's nothing new.

    First, this article. It's a quick read. The Truth Behind ‘Quiet Quitting’ Briefly it describes the phenomenon of people getting fed up with their jobs and rejecting the idea that a "good" worker is one who "... [goes] beyond to try to solve problems for the organization, their teams, their...

    Humming Birds and Evolution

    Yesterday evening I watched a documentary by David Attenborough (Hummingbirds, Netflix). Fascinating program, I can recommend it. Anyway I learned a lot. These little critters fly in a similar way to insects and the evolutionary advantage is obvious. Among other things, their heartbeat is...
