Everyone has deal breakers that put an end to conversations and budding relationships. What are your deal breakers? What thing(s) do you refuse to put up with and why?

A totally money-based world where QUID PRO QUO was the only way to go and PAY TO PLAY wasn't arbitrary/Quixotic but necessary. Your heart's desire or he**? Because?

It is a most unfortunate thing if we are encoded/enbedded/programmed that way. Then of course it couldn't possibly be our fault because we were born that way. But if it is taught and we learn how to truly feel/believe it then whose fault is it? Our teachers or ourselves? Why?

But can we expect more smart in future elections or will Putin do his thing to reshape/change/manipulate/reconfigure the outcome? Americans fell for it bigly. Not too smart. :(

Thanks in advance if you have info you're willing to share. ((hugs)) too. It's a little scary.

Many seem to complain about the political questions, but seldom have questions (like me). I usually just ignore most of the totally nonsense questions, and try to find a middle ground. Something that I feel I can add to. With people like Sapph, Didge, Virginia and many others, I hope no one else leaves. In my opinion, this place is getting to be a ghost town. It's all about diversity. As more people leave, we lose that diversity and are left with not much that interest the larger (shrinking) group. less

But I love the song.

I know people generally cook those things, but can it be eaten raw?What does it taste like and what's the difference if it's cooked or raw? I always thought it was just a really ugly banana, but why do people cook them? Is it like how you wouldn't eat a raw potato? Does it taste gross?

Shouldn't someone tell him?

He ended his little moment in the sun by saying "Thank you Miss Yates" or something equally tepid/benign/toothless. No parting shot. No ring-a-ding gotcha. Quietly and quickly. He wanted to stop talking to her. He stopped too late to salvage anything. Sadly for him.

No one would be comfy however. Those who go to church on Sunday to "praise God" would be working side-by-side with HIM daily. How do you think you'd do if your Deity did that to you, assuming you have one?.
