I'm not seeing very many women leave. Do you have better information? I'd like to know.Only the men are leaving?

Why would I have any information? If I did, I'd have no need to ask you! Silly.I'm not seeing very many women leave. Do you have better information? I'd like to know.
Utopia is probably a pipe dream, but from what I read, Nordic countries score pretty high.
I couldn't agree more.I guess we just have a different definition of the word "facts."
You would think, since the word "politics" is right there in the title!Iām confused. Isnāt this considered discussing politics? ( which isnāt allowed )
Well, it was never intended to be about political issues. It was intended to ask the question as to why people get so emotionally involved in politics as opposed to other elements of society. It was to be more of a psychological exploration than anything.Iām confused. Isnāt this considered discussing politics? ( which isnāt allowed )
Iād like to honestly say why it ādoesā bother me but itās against the rules so I canāt.Well, it was never intended to be about political issues.

Sorry it took a turn.
Sorry. I probably should have known that it would lead to discussing politics. Live and learn.Iād like to honestly say why it ādoesā bother me but itās against the rules so I canāt.
Thank you for explaining that to me.
If there are rules against discussing politics, it should apply to everyone.
Or information to share.Hardly unbiased:
Sounds like another with an axe to grind.
Thanks for the advice on not getting involved in any religious discussions. (Just joking)Three subjects that have a reputation for getting humans murderously enraged:
1. Religion
2. Politics
3. Race
That's why discussing them is not recommended if we wish to promote a peaceful social environment. I knew this and yet casually mentioned something that I considered totally inoffensive about politics to this behemoth who had been peacefully and quietly sitting next to me on the plane heading for China, and he suddenly looked as if he wanted to open one the airplane's' escape exit doors and hurl me through.
Well, if our Lord and Savior wants us to get involved, then we have to get involved regardless of the social consequences since it becomes our Christian duty.Thanks for the advice on not getting involved in any religious discussions. (Just joking)![]()
Acts 1:8Mark 16:15
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Matt 28:
18. Then Jesus came to them and said, āAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 2. and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.ā
I'm confused. I thought you said it wasn't recommended, and it gets people murderously enraged.Well, if our Lord and Savior wants us to get involved, then we have to get involved regardless of the social consequences since it becomes our Christian duty.
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Angered evil sprits and their enraged puppet atheists are irrelevant to whether it is a good plan or not.I'm confused. I thought you said it wasn't recommended, and it gets people murderously enraged.
Yet it's commanded.
Are you sure that's a good plan.![]()
It depends on how it is discussed, and by whom, and with what intentions. For example such discussions were once a common prelude to lynchings in the USA down South during Apartheid.Race should be discussed for sure.
Let me know. I have little support and few relationships.I think that good relationships are the most important factor in making people happy, which is why "strong social support networks" is #1 in the list (if that list is in order of importance). So the question is: how do we strengthen our social support network and improve our relationships?
