Do you participate in all different forums, or just specific ones?


I just look at trending threads and post in the ones that catch my eye.


Do you just chat with friends, or do you try to get to know new people?


I'm not really here to make friends, but I have made a few. I'm here more for intellectual stimulation.


Do you prefer to participate in discussions that go back and forth quite a bit and can be more serious, or do you like light hearted threads better?


Both, as the mood takes me.


Do you try to understand what people are saying, or take what they say without question?


I assume people are communicating their point. If it doesn't make sense, I will ask a question. If they improperly communicate their position, the problem is with their post, not the reader.

i think it worked out like GOD had planned


the tree of knowledge will bring your demise


Knowledge is evil?


The Jews have 613 Commandments, called Mitzvots. Which would be easier to follow, 613 Commandments or 1? Until Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they were unaware of the complex moral landscape in which we live and only knew one commandment "Obey God".

Ok, let's stop it right there. Adam and Eve are in effect toddlers in mind in the creation story up to before the fall, can we agree to that? They have been instructed not to do something, but nothing more than that. They know nothing of why they shouldn't beyond that God tells them this. Ok, fine.


We have absolutely no reason to believe that.

They walked, talked, fed themselves, named animals and who knows what else. Eve had a conversation with the Serpent, which didn't sound like a toddler speaking at all. Then Adam tried to defend his actions when God questioned him. Nothing at all like toddlers. How much time passed between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3? We don't know. How intelligent and knowledgeable where Adam and Eve at creation? We have no idea.


Toddlers in a mind sense then. Physically they were mature, but mentally they weren't. They had no knowledge of good and bad, they couldn't have been mature in mind on that basis alone.


Does the knowledge of interpersonal morality make you intellectually mature? Adam and Eve knew that they should obey God and they had the intellectual acumen to try to argue their way out of trouble, so I don't see toddlers here. You are ignoring evidence, which clearly disproves your argument.

Gandhi was a sexual deviant and he incited racial violence against whites, looked down on blacks as barely human and support the Indian caste system. He damaged women's and minority rights in India. Why is he a hero again?


Didn't Edgar Hoover say that JFK was a sexual Deviant?

MLK was also accused of sexual misconduct

No muck on JC


I said sexual deviant. Gandhi slept with young girls, had an enema fetish, etc.

You can post the clearest of pics, with a Mingle sign, still doesn't prove you're not a serial killer.


True, but it does provide some important information.

I think at least one picture should be of the person, holding up a sign that says "Mingle". Like my current picture.

I don't think this should be enforced, but people should be aware that they might be talking to a scammer if such a picture is not available.

I am making a meal for some friends. So far I am making pulled pork, homemade potato salad, and baked beans. I need another side but I can't think of one. Any suggestions? It is a Southern thing. I have to have a meat and three......smokin


BBQ Pulled pork is really good in a bed of mashed potatoes, especially when you use a lot of sauce. Just play like you are doing a 5th Grade science project and make little volcanoes with it.

If you take frozen whole green beans and fry them in a small amount of coconut oil, they get a deep nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Really good as a side and unusual.

I'm just assuming they weren't received. I've sent email to people who probably don't have me blocked, but I have no way of knowing. Oh well, thanks for the reply.

I've noticed that some of my emails are never received by the recipient. Is this a known bug? Is it an unknown bug? Or are people just ignoring me? laugh

That's terrible, it's the sad reality that bad things sometimes happen to good people. You are a good friend to her. As for her condition, people make miraculous recoveries every day. Never give up hope! I wish you both the very best.

As long as the thread is open and I do not violate the rules here and I see someone defend this child molester, I will post. It is no secret I do not like child molesters or anyone that defends them. We are not idly gossiping. This is current events backed by facts. But, I won't lose any sleep if this thread does close. I do kind of think maybe Charles has a reason for it being here. So, who is anyone to question that?


That would be me Darlin...I will stand the hell up and question it.

I just like the fact that this is a happy place of positives.....I met my love here. I have met long term actual friends here. I have laughed and cried with my friends here.

..and there is no damned way I will sit back and let this really good thing become nothing more than a focus on one dousche who pulled a scam on every one of us.

If I am gonna be the bad guy cause I like what Mingle has brought to me.....my friends...my lover.

Fine....I will deal with it.

So.....you do what you need to do.

I will too.




It's one thread, get the hell over it.

To crucify someone who is not even on this site anymore?


I don't believe in crucifixion or in the death penalty for child molesters. They are typically very docile around adults. They can safely be incarcerated for their lifetime without posing a danger to other inmates. I only favor the death penalty in cases when the individual is a danger to other people.

As for Keith, he's a deeply troubled man. I have never liked him, maybe I picked up on his "offness" or maybe it was because as a moderator, he was rude, unfair and bigoted against Christians. I don't wish him harm, that wouldn't undo his crimes. I just don't feel that sex offenders who are fixated on children should be allowed out of custody. I think 30k+ child porn pictures is fairly good evidence of a fixation on children, I have never in my life had that many naked pictures of women and I freaking love women.

This topic has allowed us to discuss sex crime and punishment in general, not just Keith and his crimes. I don't see why this thread should be killed or why we should stop posting here if people still have things to say.


Are you here to make friends?


No, I am not.


Cause I am not seeing any attempts at love or friendships...


I've got great friends, I have my kids, I have the love of a great woman and heck, I'm even friends with most of my exs. I don't come here looking for love or friendships, I come here for discussions. If friendship happens, that's an added bonus. I find common ground with one person in one thread and we disagree in another thread. I see nothing wrong with that.


Don't prove me right.


I have no idea what this means.

I'm staying open for the outcome. I haven't picked sides like you and msharmony obviously have. So, no the pot angle isn't going to change how I feel.

No, I don't have any interest in the latest pot research.


I'm completely open on the outcome, but the evidence so far does not indicate a crime. Let some information come out proving George is guilty and my opinion will change. Just because I haven't committed to a position, doesn't mean I can't have a provisional opinion.


I'm just struggling with the part of who instigated the confrontation.
I know you say it doesn't matter...it seems it should or I would have been right to shoot the guy who knocked out my teeth (in my post) and that just doesn't seem right.


No, that's not right.

If you punch someone, they have the right to defend themselves. If you kicked a guy and he knocked you on the ground, sat on your chest and started punching your face and pounding your head into the street, you would have the right to use deadly force. The point that you can no longer fight and are being beaten is where a fight turns into a situation where you life might be in danger.

I don't see a lynch mob. I see people expressing hurt, grief, even love. Some hate. Answering of some questions, assortments of emotions.But, I see no lynch mob.
I think I saw one mention of a rope in the whole thread.


Exactly. :thumbsup:
