People are lost

[rAJJIN]

A lot of people can only talk or be “friends” as long as they agree. When you disagree people seem to get excited and defensive.
I try to at least listen, then just stay cool and dismiss what does not apply.

Very true. And good on you for your approach — listening is commendable for many reasons.

I have not been on social media in over 10 years. One of the last straws for me was I posted the lyrics to the John Lennon song imagine. The religious zealots came out of the work and tore me apart told me how because of people like me this world is going to hell in a handbasket. I just like the damn song. Didn't get any death threats but that is fairly new within the last few years of people really getting too emotionally charged and threatening other people.


I don't look at social media I don't pay any attention to anything anybody says because if I want to know a good generalized answer to most things I can come right here to the iron den and with such a diverse group of people here I can get some good opinions without feeling like I'm being bombarded by a bunch of trolls.


The world is pretty messed up and people have truly gone insane

Those religious idiots are always contradicting themselves. The Bible says that God is sole Judge of all and no person has the right to judge anyone. Yet they judge the people who don't agree with them to hell. They seem to forget about free will and chose to get all worked up about things that God will eventually deal with.

I was out to lunch with 4-5 friends and one of the girls says 'Trump is such an idiot'! I asked her why she thought that and her response was 'because he is'! Just another empty skulled DEMO.................... How do I know that? Because she is !!!!!!!!

Update:

That post now has 2,098 likes (people with fucking common sense) and 1,642 insults in the comments ( people who took a nutrition class in college and are morons) Still amazed that people think there is no difference in the body when eating 3,000 calories of sugar vs 3,000 calories of meat and eggs. We are doomed.

I think that calorie is a calorie is the Mike Mentzer mentality?

Just for entertainment and more conversation…. Are we talking about body composition or just weight loss vs weight gain?

I am christian. We pray for people that have lost their way according to the ministry of Christ. The prayer is to help them find their way away from the chaos that comes from poor choices. So, in a way we do judge them since we realize that their choices will lead to chaos. We do understand that free will is a gift from God and leaves us all with choices which paths to follow.

My wife wanted that song for our wedding and my mother in-law freaked out. When that song came out in 1971 the world was deep into the Vietnam war, a supposed war to stop the spread of communism and spread "democracy". If you look deeper into it, the real reason was far more nefarious and much more about profit and nation building. In any event, the public was deeply divided about our involvement. IMO Lennon, in Imagine, took the approach that melded communistic ideals with the development of a human society where reasons for conflict were erased. At that time our military was racking up the bodies. The hippy counter culture was not happy with the conflict and actually practiced some concepts of communism. I don't think either side understood that evil people in power were operating on both sides and ideologies were captured in the name of profit and power. IMO Lennon was caught in the middle and wished for peace capturing some aspects that deeply insulted the side of the power structure and general public that sided with the ideology of the representative republic and "democracy".

That is insane but doesn't surprise me.
