  1. I was waiting for you to post my friend. The two comic book fans on the forum have to stick together!
  2. GI Joe was my thing and I still collect the comics. I don’t like the “Now I know” socially responsible stuff either. I found it silly, even as a kid.
  3. Is there a reason why Adam-God is of such great importance to you or am I missing something? Totally curious. I’m a convert and I don’t think I even heard about this doctrine until I joined TH. Never heard about it in church either.
  4. And, to top it off, Big Brother starts in the summer and I’m glued to that show. Been a fan since 2001!
  5. That’s right up my alley. Thank. There was a whistleblower for Madof that tried calling the SEC several times as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Markopolos
  6. To be fair, I’m sure some people probably did see it coming, but it’s like a historic college football game-more people say they were there then actually were there.
  7. When it comes to economic predictions, everyone became a prophet in 2009. I met so many people who “knew the economy would crash” and say they saw it coming. Oddly, their prophecies didn’t stop them from losing everything. Or warning the rest of us.
  8. Agree. I think that predicting the future of the economy is a fool’s game. If I wake up every day and say “today is the day the economy will crash.” I’ll eventually be right. If I also say “Today is the day I’m going to die.” every day, eventually I’ll be right about that too. Neither statement makes me a prophet.
  9. While I basically agree with you, I think we’re in the minority. At the end of the day voters care about guns, LGBT issues, and abortion rights-but they care much deeper about feeding their families and retirement. If the economy is lousy in November, it generally means the voters are going to “throw the bums out.”
  10. that, and from what little I know Israel is a secular state with a large non-Jewish or “Jewish in name only” population. The citizens probably care more about not getting blown up or shot more than not fighting back on the sabbath.
  11. I think this discussion has been interesting. Hope you stick around.
  12. LadyGator and I are watching high brow, intellectual shows lately. Like My Strange Addiction and 90 Day Fiancee.
  13. I totally agree with you that toxic masculinity exists, but it’s more silly than destructive. Andrew Tate and his followers are too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
  14. I didn’t know the guy that well, but on the surface based on appearances he was a very nice guy. He was a bishop.
  15. No worries. I see it the same way I always did. It’s a cliche and old people use to whine about young people and wash their hands of any accountability that they have. It reminds me of people who are divorced four times, look in the mirror, pat themselves on the back and say “I did nothing wrong. Everyone else is a narcissist but me.”
  16. Same. I’ve only met one openly liberal faithful LDS. A former democratic congressmen. I’ve never met an LGBT active member.
  17. Sure, no argument there. But if a majority young people do that, then how they were taught was wrong. Something failed on the older generation side. After all, if every student fails a test, it’s a problem with the teacher.
