Ask a CL

If you had to pick one person on Earth to suddenly drop dead, who would it be and why?

Hm not sure... maybe either Kim Jong Un or whatever Islamic terrorist leader is causing the most harm right now?

Honestly, just whatever person in the world is currently responsible for ruining/killing the most lives.

As for why, because my killing them would be like a defence of innocent people, which is the only time killing is justifiable.

How do you feel about the cultural diversity here on the forum?

Has any argument presented (here or somewhere else) managed to make you question certain things from your religion?

When do you come visit Europe?

Honestly I don't think there is a lot of diversity on the forum. I know there are people here from all over North America and Europe, but it seems most people nonetheless have the same views on most things, despite being from different countries/cultures. There are a handful of people who are "outliars", like the few theists here, and people like Bella, CaptAwesome, PaulPablo sometimes, that one Republican atheist whose name I forget, and maybe a couple others im not thinking about. Other than that, everyone else seems to be of the same mind on things that matter. Interesting question though. What do you think?

This is your thread!

But yeah, I think each person here has a unique view of things. Sure, many of us lean to the European socialist model in terms of politics. But I see people from the UK, a mostly atheist (or non-careist) region of the world, who still come by and talk about things. They have their own culture, not just European, but also as sufferers of an near eternal rainy season.
The Portuguese adore their foods.
The Ozzies have their daily battles with indigenous wildlife.
In the States, you can tell differences between the states themselves - CD from the northwest, calm and enjoying his trees and leaves; mooney and you in Texas more driven to get out of the heat; joods in the northeast with her social life and cool jobs...
Aroura now in Germany is getting that culture shock!

There are lots of tiny things we don't even think of as cultural... from the well known height of water in the toilet, to the way we dispose of our trash, to how we move around town and go shopping, to the types of foods we have available.

Not really lol. I mean, there have been some good questions asked here about my faith that have made me search deeper for answers, and in doing so I've come to a deeper understanding of my faith. But it's never made me have more doubts than I normally would have.

Cool.

No plans for Europe as of yet. Personally if I'm going to travel to a new place I'd rather do something tropical and/or exotic. Like a Pacific Island or Asia. But Mr CL wants to go to Europe, so maybe someday.

May I make a suggestion that combines both?

Between May and September


Or a Mediterranean Cruise... those are super nice.

Hmmm... I see a lot of poop talk in this thread for some reason

I was in San Francisco with my kid yesterday and it happened to be Fleet Week - we saw a lot of cool Navy jets doing tricks right over the bay. Is Mr. C_L in the Navy? Is he in SF for the weekend?

He's an air force pilot, not navy.

But he's at a bachelor party at a friend's lakehouse this weekend.

He does not like mushrooms, scary movies, cold weather, cockroaches, and Trump.

I disagree with him about the mushrooms....sauteed with Marsala wine they make a delicious sauce for chicken and steak.  Otherwise, he seems pretty cool.

Why don't you like Khem? He's one of my favorite people here.

He's cool with everyone else, based on what I've seen. But has been extremely nasty to me, on a personal level, ever since I first joined. No reason for me to like someone who talks to me like shit. He's the only person I have blocked I think.

I would agree with that. I love mushrooms.

Did you initially ask your husband not to go for the bachelor party?
Why didn't I come to your mind when somebody asked about diversity?
Why do you always talk about something so gross like poop, do you do this irl also?
What do you think about skydiving?

No, I encouraged him to go... as much as I hate being left alone for yet another weekend.

I guess because I haven't seen you in many of the controversial threads in a while. My apologies.

Yeah, I make poop jokes in real life as well. Why? Because poop is freaking hilarious, and because it's the one thing every single one of us has in common. We all poop. We should unite in our similarities.

I think it's scary and dangerous and would never do it nor ever allow my husband to do it. Sometimes I wonder if taking incredible risks on your life for no reason other than "fun" is kind of immoral.
