Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Here is the video and you can see how angry the audience is and how the vote obviously did NOT pass.

Ok - getting caught up on the other pictures - I love that post about Evolution Tony - kinda looks like Futurama (the way it's drawn).
Booklover I love the cats and the death ray - very funny.
And Joan - that's telling them! You need to go to that Democratic Convention and tell them all that - just what you said here and also make them know how upset we are with them for reinstating god in the platform. Those people make no sense!
Patricia I love the cute cat cartoon with the lady and Tony with your African Iris.
Yeah I'm upset with the Democratic Party too and that sham of a vote.
The nays won and he went ahead and passed it anyway - it's like they planned on passing it regardless.
Comment by sk8eycat on September 6, 2012 at 8:31pm You all have been posting such fun stuff today, but I need to rant (sorry)
**********************

Now I'll go check out that "death ray"
Thanks.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on September 6, 2012 at 5:03pm I love the ray of death. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Comment by Joan Denoo on September 6, 2012 at 3:22pm "I don't under stand evolution!" Why is it any more difficult to believe that some sky spirit created Earth and all that inhabits it in six day and took the seventh off? Or believe dinosaurs and homo sapiens co-existed? Or believe the Earth is 6,000 years old +- whatever? Or believe that man was created to obey "god" and how do you define god? Or believe that Noah's flood created the Grand Canyon, or that some poor bloke lived inside the belly of a whale, or stones talk, or a man named Jesus is the son of god, born of a virgin, was crucified, died, was resurrected and ascended into heaven? or god punishes all who do not obey him and sends them to eternal damnation in a lake of fire and rewards those sheep who follow him with eternal life with relative who make no sense, or that one must be "born-again" to satisfy some unseeable being, or that there is no moral or ethical code without religion.
You folks just make no sense to me and I am not interested in your people knocking on my door and calling me. I have very low regard for those who manipulate and exploit others using fear as a weapon instead of thinking reasonably. And above all else, keep your damnable beliefs out of science school rooms. Your message is just plain child abuse.
Comment by Derek Bly on September 6, 2012 at 3:00pm OK, Tony, I'm stealing the evolution posting and sharing it on FB. I've got FB friends in complete denial about evolution. In fact, I think I've 'lost' a couple of 'friends' because I post pro-evolution statements. Thanks for a funny look at the issue.
And didn't I see that woman at the Republican convention??
Comment by Derek Bly on September 6, 2012 at 2:58pm Love the ray of death photo! But I kinda wish I could be lying there as another 'victim.'
