That is your experience and depending on where you were raised and the quality of people of a specific race that lived there, you would develop such an attitude. I know others with similar experiences and attitudes. When your experience is with people of a different race who have similar social and economic beliefs as you, then you will see them not as an inferior person but someone who has the same values as yourself; then their race is no longer something you can use to predict who they actually are.

The government is only as trustworthy as the people in charge and those who work for them in government. Many of these have demonstrated their personal agendas or their incompetence at their jobs. Business gets the best and brightest while governments get the left overs with very little accountability. All you need to do is try and deal with someone in government and you will experience their ineptness! Latest example: the Iowa caucus fiasco with politicians in charge!

I'll put in a few things I learned going through marital problems. At 50 years of age you can afford to put another year or 2 into trying to get your marriage better while still being able to recover from a divorce. You need to start with a trip to a marriage counselor. If your wife won't go with you, you still need to go yourself. You will need to identify what is good about your marriage as well as what isn't working. You alluded to something that happened in the past, you need to be willing to talk about that with your councilor. Be honest or you will just be wasting your time. I hope your marriage is worth saving and you both are willing to put in the hard work it will take!

When you hang with trash, you become trash. Find a better life!!!

NO!!!!! I don't think any elected official or high ranking appointed official should be able to make a decision that benefits him or her or any member of their extended family. Examples: books written by Bolton or Obama. There is a reason why people in the higher reaches of government become very rich and it doesn't have anything to do with their government salary.

A fleeting emotional high followed by periods of depression!!

How about we talk about all the politicians and what interests their families might have in government? Not much different than what goes on at your state and local levels. No conflict of interest any where, right????

A good woman that I have a strong interest in will have a lifestyle very similar to mine. The other lifestyle interests that don't match - we will be tolerant and accepting that they are of importance to our partner and we need to accept without judgement!!.

Either both sides call witnesses or neither. Dems only want a couple of their choosing!! I would like to know a lot more about Burisma and Hunter Biden! The whole Ukrainian story over the years is not very good!!

I believe the best approach is to know what you can accept as compared to being alone. The more critical you are of prospective partners, the less likely you are to find anyone you find acceptable. The alternative is being alone. I do not mean what you would like in a prospective partner but the minimum you can accept!!

What happens depends on what is negotiated and in the contract. It can be very over the top or rather vanilla.

Maybe in your world but not mine!! Seems like most older women in the US have an obesity problem! A good share of the remainder have a mental health problem. Pass on both!!!

As we have gotten older and had more negative experiences, we have formed a generic set of beliefs about the other gender. Many of these beliefs are negative and those are what we assume until something shows us that those beliefs don't apply to a specific person. I think most of us start out with a negative value status when we meet someone new and need to show our positive characteristics for them to even consider us.

run as far and as fast as you can so you don't get Bobbitted!!

Women desire more trinkets of affection than most men are providing.

I rarely buy gifts for others and really hate it when they buy little trinkets for me. What do you do with a piece of junk someone gave you that you have no need for or desire to have? I think people do it just to make them feel better about themselves!!

You will have to translate that into the US english language. Is that under the bonnet or the hood?

Finding someone I want to date and who is willing to go out on a date.

very much so and it seems difficult to simplify it without destroying the really good parts

should be called "***** Controlled"!!
