  1. Hey, for a guy who worked in the electronics department at wal mart for 20 years you saved up a decent nest egg. 😛
  2. https://www.yahoo.com/news/french-canadian-newspaper-cover-trump-193418460.html Well, the Canadians at least can’t hate us anymore than they already do.
  3. That’s awesome. For those of us who are adopted (me!)-it’s a life saver. I have zero desire to be sealed to my bio family.
  4. @NeuroTypical owes me a cola everyone. Confirmed she‘s real
  5. I shared her profile with you on FB. Her thread was deleted in the Disney group
  6. @NeuroTypical, you don’t either. People in the group have met in IRL. She’s a real, living, breathing, white anglo saxon hunbot. They exist.
  7. The more we talk about scammers and expose them the better we all are. I have much more respect for the person who admits they were scammed and warns everyone about it than someone who can’t swallow their pride and clams up about it.
  8. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/canada-justin-trudeau-resignation-01-06-25/index.html He already announced he’s going to step down. If he doesn’t, his party is going to get trounced in the next election.
  9. I don’t have a problem with releasing names and “doxxing” hubots and scammers. While it feeds their persecution complex hopefully it warns the next person that the hunbot can’t be trusted. I didn’t do it here because 1) it’s not allowed and 2) the odds that anyone here are in the same Disney FB groups that I am are essentially zero. But she was exposed on that group for a time.
  10. And that’s how we expose them my friend. Anti MLMmer’s (like me) have pages where we don’t play around. Some won’t edit their names out and play hardball right back.
  11. It was via FB and she was real. I’m not too worried about that. My phone is on DND 24/7 with only favorites allowed to get through. I thought about all you said before I responded.
  12. So, speaking of scams. I got this message at 12:30 last night. If your job requires you to pester strangers past midnight, that’s another major red flag.
  13. If you separate the advice from the one giving it, it’ll help.
  14. Those are all really good habits that could greatly improve your life, so….
  15. Thanks bud. It’s a question a lot of us have. Families can be together forever but for some people that’s a terrifying thought. Not being funny.
  16. Is there a way to keep someone from getting sealed? Ie-if someone had an abusive parent? (not speaking for me. My parents are great)
  17. I’m a barely functional narcissist, so I’ll just be quiet on that one. But, for what little it’s worth, I think most LDS are extremely, well, nice. They don’t like saying no their stake president-even when he asks for their life savings. One of my closest friends in the church died in a canyoneering accident. His parents were screwed out of their life savings by a church leader who went to jail for fraud. He spent his adult life warning seniors of these frauds.
  18. @Jamie123-please forgive my ignorance, but in the UK does a “whole life order” mean it or is the criminal released in a decade or so?
  19. Totally fair. Believe it or not I understand that it’s a complex and somewhat gray issue. When I hear about horrific crimes I also want justice and for the perp to be severely punished.
  20. Thank you. True. And two more things to remember. 1. You ain’t Jesus. 2. Just because you are fine with being led to your death for the sake of “humanity” doesn’t mean everyone else is okay with that option, or that the death penalty is swell and just.
  21. Do you honestly think they care about “ethics”? Bloodlust. Not being funny.
  22. All true, so I guess people on both sides use the scriptures they agree with to prove their point and ignore the scriptures that don’t. There are plenty of secular, conservative reasons to be against the death penalty though.
  23. Yes, his turning the other cheek, forgive your neighbor 7X70, putting the ear back on a solider, forgiving the second thief… all His teachings on forgiveness come to mind, actually.
  24. Agree. It’s always been a big issue for me-when I was 18 I told Helen Prejean she was wrong and the death penalty was the only appropriate punishment. She was a speaker at my first college. She wrote Dead Man Walking. Now, I’ve swung vehemently to the other side. Fascinating what age/maturity/introspection does.
