Past truths are distant and because of that they don't involve as much emotion. Future "presumed" truths are only opinions and not fact. So we have differences of opinion which is fine. It's when we have differences in our perceptions of truth that causes problems.

Wonder what life was like way back then? Were there religious differences and political intrigues and struggles for power and hate and wars way back then or were they occupied 24/7 with staying alive and too busy to waste time on anything else?

The current prez appeared via pre-recorded message thanking them. Will 6 living presidents ever again get together for anything or was this a one-time-only brief moment that will never happen again?

Decisions are made for them. Parameters are set up so they know just how far they can go and no farther. Daddy or mommy will watch over them and protect them from going over the edge. Would having a goverment daddy tell you what to do comfort you?

Of course, while not every convenience store is a gas station or had a gas station, it seems that every gas station has a convenience store or sells certain food and beverage products that are normally sold in convenience stores.

The slime-balls know that their behaviour is unwelcome before they even try.I saw a man shouting at a woman. she was pinned against a wall and he was raising his fist.I stopped and said, "if you land that fist I'm going straight to the Police and reporting it."He dropped the fist and the two moved of... less

So now we have a scientific name to put on the terrible heartache losing a beloved pet causes. I hope you haven't experienced it but if you have then you have my condolences.

just so they can live the basic minimum, then once they are ready they find a job or business and they live on their own ?
