It was called "The Light of the World". (It was in Spanish.)I had never heard of it before so I looked it up. It was different from any church I had ever heard of. Churches are full of interesting architecture, traditions, and ideologies.

I was looking up the Northern Ireland debate (no I am not addressing that here!) and i came across some sites that posted downright lies and misinformation heavily slanted and it got me thinking.. it IS like the Trump debate too in that I Have observed otherwise normal people posting things that cannot be true as fact and posting rumours as though they are fact... and the thing is people seem to choose to believe what they want to believe based on their own opinions.. But truth is important isn't it? Why do people read things that an intelligent questioning mind would easily see were false and simply believe them.... I guess this is one tack in trying to get people to think one way or other.. and perhaps, for all I know both sides do it.. .but my question is. WHY don't people sit back and try to be objective... find out.. open minds... learn.. rather than just believing utterly insane lies? less

When I do it's really crappy crap that seems more like a video software test than anything.

I already use other more tailored groups for other questions that aren't fitting inside a more varied main board. Furthermore, those who wants to reply on political questions will be inside the debate room together with me, and likely notice my question as much as now, if not even more. Hmm.For newcomers, here is a link for the group: Debate Room

Every day is a feast day of one or more saints in the Catholic calendar. It is a chance to celebrate the daily mass of the church. The Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated with parades, traditions from Mexico (because she appeared in Mexico City to a poor peasant), music, and masses.I looked to see one celebration around Houston and found what one church is doing:1. They will start with a mass.2. Then they have a group of dancers called The Matachines to perform the dances.3. Then mariachis will entertain with playing of guitars and singing.4. Next, they will have refreshments and people are encouraged to have fellowship.5. People are also encouraged to dress in their country's tradition dress. It will be interesting to see the various countries represented in this diverse area. 6. People may also bring flowers to put on the altar before the mass is celebrated.7. Time: 6:30 pm - 9:45pm.... less

I don't know if having a full-time nurse living in a home to care for the person would be cheaper. It seems shipping them out, farming them out to elsewhere is more convenient for those who choose to do that with their old folks. Maybe it's what the old folks want. Maybe they don't like living somewhere that is not theirs. I don't know. It just seems a shame to me that this is how our society treats its elderly. Do other countries do the same? less

At one point daughter dearest started getting hard to handle..insistent. They always stayed in that house and she wanted to go out into the world. The last scene shows the robot that was "the daughter" is now the maid. The robot that was "the maid" is now the daughter. Makes me wonder if the father had a robot wife as well. The robots in that long-ago TV show didn't know they were machines. They looked human. Could we all be robots and not know it? less

So he takes it out on the his subordinates at work because he can. Every fish has another fish who is big enough to bite him. And that fish has another fish and so on ad infinitum. Which fish intimidates you and whom do you take it out on? Why?

I'm at over 600 on my smart phone alone. The laptop probably has at least one and a half times that amount. ~
