    Not voting, when you are eligible, is a very serious action.

    It is worse than forgetting to take out the trash, but not as catastrophic as forgetting to give a patient his medicine.

    By not voting one shows […]

    • “Bad politicians are elected by good people who don’t vote.” Hmmm … ? LOL. Tell that to the voters who voted for Hillary Clinton.

      Not so sure I agree with that button. You see … supposedly the reason Donald Trump was not elected was because … well! … he’s not a politician.

      You mighty right! He’s not a politician. Looks to me like he’s aiming for a monarchy, setting himself up as king!

      Oh but what do I know? I don’t vote! I pray instead. Have my prayers worked? We’re still a free country. That’s what I prayed for all these years. So I’m gonna say “Yes! Yes they did!” I believe that. So I’m going to keep praying.

      • What happened in Jamaica with the 43% turn out was shocking, because a lot of people didn’t vote. I know of people who hate Trump but when it was Election day did not vote for Hilary. The fact is, if people were inspired, they would have voted PNP or Dems… but they weren’t.

        • Can’t speak for other US citizens, but I do know having lived in America my entire life, I can honestly say that the 2016 POTUS election was the very first time I ever seriously pondered “Do we really need a President? Can we govern ourselves without one?” I was actually wondering if it was realistic possibility. The more the campaign dragged on, the more I thought about it. First time I ever assessed that neither candidate was “worth a fart in a windstorm”. The most I can hope and pray for is that “We the people” do know how to govern ourselves and defend our free country. We’re going to have to inspire ourselves.

          • You know if there was a ‘direct’ democracy, the people didn’t elect a representative but voted on issues, things would be ‘real’. But everyone elects someone to represent them and that person does what s/he pleases.

            I personally believe in what I think you do…a theocratic anarchy…

            • I don’t know what a “theocratic anarchy” is. Never heard those two terms put side by side. In my mind, the phrase seems contradictory.

    • I’ve never been a voter that’s just something me and my family never did. And our voted really never matter. It’s always the electoral votes that does. They say it’s still good to vote though just to see the people percentage and how they feel.

      • when you don’t vote, it often works to the advantage of the ‘other side’ as in this case where nearly half the population didn’t vote.

    • Trump is a moron and an idiot. He is going to ruin this country and bring us to a horrible war. And to side with Russia is not a good thing, since we now know that Russia was the country that hacked into the system and made it possible for this orange faced @ss to become president. We americans are doomed. Looking at the big picture it seems like ISIS is right. Although they are not and are a radical group. But after seeing this moron, one has to wonder what is really happening.

      • Let me being with a basic; if people weren’t happy to believe bad things about Hilary, they wouldn’t. I didn’t even glance at the so-called emails or whatever… further, if the site was so weak as to be hackable so easily and undetected, that’s on the Tech people.

        Trump isn’t ‘going to ruin’ the country, his election has already ruined the country. People all over the world think he’s an idiot and Americans are idiots. Most people are comfortable if he forms a close relationship with Putin as that ends the ‘cold war’. I’m sure Trump will make a lot of ridiculous errors, but people voted for him.

        It is on the voters, and those who sat on their vote. What is happening is the results of the dumbing down process, which began in the 1970s.

        Take a glance at this movie; idiocracy…that’s where it is today.

    • I am likely to believe this natural phenomenon, global warming for the first time I have come across this term. Based on my various readings about it and also news on how the concerned countries are suffering from its effect. These were my first reactions. However, later I had found out that this is not true. There is no such thing as global warming. And those who claim it otherwise have bases to claim. Again I am likely to believe them.

      Now in my present position, I am at a loss if this world-wide natural phenomenon does exist or not. The situations cited are true and real but the fact is not very clear that it is due to global warming or it is just a term for concern. We want to search more on this. I know there are lots of people, business entities who are taking advantage of this natural likely disaster may cause to the lives of the people and to the earth as well.

      • In the 1970s they assumed an ice age was coming, as geological evidence proved that every 10 – 8 thousand years, the Earth had an Ice Age. Now we hear about warming, with no proof.

        To me, the Earth is dynamic and although people can cause pollution, when you look at a map, at night of Earth, less than 50% even has electricity.

    Here is how your mother screwed up your life and is going continue until one of you dies.

    Bet she made you think you were special. That you had more right to breath than anyone else. You didn’t […]

    • I dated a guy that was a mamas boy. It made the relationship very difficult. It was always why she wanted and what she said, to the point were he never came to me about anything, he always went to his mama. I felt like I was never involved in anything.yeah I know that his mama, but come on he is grown and in a relationship. It should have been me and him discuss things not him and his mama. She made it hard for us to love.

      • I know exactly what you’re saying. And trust me, you don’t want to ever be in any relationship with a guy like that. I know one who left his fiance alone, at night, because Mama called him. And she felt scared, cause there was all kind of noise outside and she was in this big house alone.

        As soon as the sun came up, she left the ring, took her bags and went home.

    • I like what you have shared, you are totally right about this and right on point. Momma’s boys as they are called by many are the kind of men that no woman wants to land with.
      They cling so much on their mother’s because that is the way they have been brought up. They tend to follow everything that they are told by their mother’s and funny e nought you will find that they have some characteristics of their mother’s. The one thing that i know is that i wouldn’t want to land in marriage with such a guy. They will expect you to act like their mother, cook like them, dress like them practically everything you do has to be like their mother, that is crazy. You are your own person Why would someone want you to be like someone else?
      Some man just need to grow up and man up. Even if your mum brought you up it doesn’t mean that you have to do exactly as she says some things just have to change.
      There are also some women who will go as far as moving into their son’s homes just to make sure that their son’s are treated right, that will keep correcting theirdaughter’s inlaw on what to do and what not do as if the guy is still a child. Please mother’s just let th3 guy be met him grow up and take care of his woman you have done your part now release him and let him face the real world.

    I am not talking about a ‘house husband’,  or a man who finds himself in a situation where he can’t find a job. I am writing about people, men, who set their lives to find and exploit women.   Men, whose p […]

    • It’s unfortunate that there are men like this.

      • It is because it eradicates the views one holds about ‘man’, but they are very common, and getting more common.

    • If you live off a woman how could you call yourself a man. I mean the woman has the baby who is going to provide for her at that moment if she isn’t financially stable. Living off a woman can be the lowest way a man can live only if he chooses to do that for a lifetime and it’s not because he just lost a job a couple of days ago

      • Oh these men don’t know the meaning of pride. They don’t have any positive traits. They will live off any woman they can.

    • Its A shame how men live off of Women. Men are supposed to be providers not free loaders.

    • This is very true just as you have said itmany men ar3 nowadays just looking yo be fed clothed and sheltered by women. Gone are the days when men were men. A man will take some responsibility for his woman and family. He will make sure that are clothed Fed well, they love in a good home etc.
      If you look around in most societies nowadays men are giving themselves to older some for services in return for money. They do not want to work to earn a living all that want is to have fun and in the process make free money. It maybe you will find a woman or just a young girl who works hard for her money, she gets herself an apartment, stocks her kitchen with food, buys a car and so on. Then she finds a guy who really speaks well if her just so that he can get into her house, and once he does that, that’s the end of it. He will come and stay. While he’s there there is nothing much he’s helping out with all he does is just demand and command, yet all his needs are being taken care of. And you wonder what kind of guy is this who doesn’t even feel ashamed to be living of his girlfriend can’t be get up and get a job to take care of his woman and himself.
      Men have become too lazy and irresponsible. They don’t want to do anything to improve themselves. All they want is free stuff. They should style up and do what is right. Stop waiting for the women to do for you what you should be doing? Or maybe the saying that goes ” A MAN IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE should change to A WOMAN IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE so that it is known that women are th3 ones who are running families nowadays

      • You are very right. Many men sit back and live out of a woman’s pocket until she puts them out and they find another woman or stand on their feet.

        I know one chap… absolutely worthless. Charming Chap, but worthless. He lived off the woman and they had a daughter… and after the woman tossed him out… he played interested in the daughter until today… the Daughter supports Him!

        MY Daddy is the Best Daddy in the World! she posts on Facebook

    • I couldn’t see myself with a Mama’s boy.
      They are too selfish and gossip as much as any other female.
      They always run crying to mama ” what should I do ” , ” what do you think is best for me ” .
      I went through this with one of my sister’s.
      I couldn’t believe how unviable he was .
      My sister did everything for him cause he didn’t know what to do .
      He couldn’t even do his own college paper work , nor fill out an online application form.
      He has both of his parents come from good family but lacks all knowledge of self motivation.
      A man that can’t cook not even boiling water is a definite no in my book .

      • They have to ask Mama for everything, and even if you think you ‘come first’… Ha! One word from Mama and you are on your own.

    • yes it happen in some cases,my husband is too mumma boy but i manage it all i give space to them and provide them full privacy and make her have full control on him but not on me i do what i think is right.

      • I couldn’t do it. Nothing is worse then when you need him and Mama calls him, and he leaves you to run to her. Esp. when she invents reasons.

    • Pity the wife… she comes 2nd. Not much of a marriage.

    • Lots of mothers or parents in general have lots of control over the children. Same goes for women. Some women are mama’s girls or daddy’s girls. So it does go both ways. The only one that can change this behavior is the child themselves. Otherwise it will continue for the rest of their lives.

      • Women who put their mother’s first often are thrown out by their husbands or their husbands leave them. Too many parents exercise too much control over their children never letting them grow up and move on.

    • Yes. The people during the campaign too light of Mr. Donald and vehemently criticized him starting from his mouth to every organ of the body.
      It is the xenophobia as well as the racism that stirred up their minds making the gray matter more powerful tool with analysis and self-conscience.
      Hacking as you said is not at all an issue and it will be the stupidity to blame Russia for the victory of Mr. Donald. Still, they are not realizing this aspect and continuing arraigning the Russian Government in the politics of the U.S.

      • What is so significant is that you and I see this so clearly, and persons who are supposed to know better, don’t.

        People voted for Trump. Maybe a lot of people who didn’t like Hilary very much assumed that Trump couldn’t win so didn’t vote.

        However, unless they have proof that the Russians hacked into the voting machines, they should just shut up and stop making trouble.

    • Regular shopping is good for not to miss anything that comes in the form of offers, deals, and fresh stock. But, it needs a lot of patience also. It is actually a test for patience. Coming all the way from a bike and parking it in the appropriate place means it is a challenge. Can you park every day in the Cellar meant for the two wheelers? Is it not a test for your patience? But one has to develop this activity to improve one’s personal relationships with others in the society we live in. This is a good habit.
      The other benefits are monetary but the developing inter-personal relationship is more than that.

      • I park right at the front of the store, in the handicap parking…(I do have a pin in my leg). I do have a lot of good relationships with all the people around the market, as I take my venture like a social engagement. So it does enhance that relationship as you mentioned.

    • I used to think once a week was good, but I prefer being able to run in when I want and not have to make that many plans. When it comes to vegetables, I always pick those that look a little handicapped or like they suffered to avoid GM.

    • I am no fan of shopping. Believe me. I don’t like it one bit. But it is something that needs to be done. Shopping daily is just ridiculous. Shopping once a week is better. I am actually looking into shopping for groceries online now. There are many services that we can do that now.

    • The main thing is to get from Point A to Point B. When I was growing up, we had a pretty good public transportation system. As a result, I rode buses all over Miami, Florida, and into the Greater Miami areas as well (Coral Gables, Miami Beach, etc.) I didn’t learn how to drive until I got married. I was 21 years old by then. I drove lots of places, i.e. different states in the US and different cities within the state of Florida. Having a reliable form of transportation – public or private – is very liberating.

      The motorcycle were never my thing because I never learned how to ride a bike. By the way, I don’t recommend that. Riding a bike is a life skill and it’s something everyone should learn how to do. I missed out but encourage others to do so. Also, never learned how to swim. Another important life skill. My kids taught themselves how to ride a bike and swim. Thank goodness they didn’t rely on me! 🙂

      • You are not too old to learn. Listen, Ema… who is 100 years old, went to school to learn how to operate a computer at the age of 89. You should learn how to swim, (life saving for sure) and ride a bike… it’s really nice.
