Not to look forward too much.. but in 2028, what are certain liberal types going to do when Trump is not on the front page? It is going to leave quite a void in their life. Their daily obsession with Trump will look silly being as he will not be running.

"are sometimes unhappy for healthy reasons. " What about the third word? Maybe when he puts those seven letters in that order.. he thinks it means something else. But for the rest of us, when you put u, n, h, a, p, p, y in that order, we glean the following defintion. not satisfied or pleased with (a situation).

Come on.. if you were truly content you would not be here every single day. Every day, someone can count on you posting a bunch of stuff about how unhappy you are with x, y, and z. Again.. next time, leave the word, "myself" out. As the saying goes, .."Give them enough rope"

let you in on a little secret... folks lie. In my experience, folks lie about their health because it is some badge of honor to say that I have x, y, and z yet still soldier on or whatever schpiel they have. Surveys are notoriously difficult to design because folks lie. To really get the truth.. you need data such as receipts, medical records, etc. Second, doctors and health professionals do not always act with the best intentions. Finally, mental health is not like a cut on your arm which is not open to interpretation. I could say that there is no cut on my arm but the evidence is objective and obvious.

I do not like Trump even a little bit. However, I would rather have him lose in the general election and therefore most likely go away. Hopefully in 2028.. we get some better candidates.

did you write this? if not, who did? Next time.. do not include the word, "myself" if you want to wiggle out of it.

Just because someone claims to have been diagnosed with mental illness does not mean that they actually have. Second, you can be diagnosed with bipolar and prescribed meds but not have the diagnosis be done correctly. Counter-research.. if done correctly would take years and would have to have access to personal level data.. which you know is very hard to get. So what is left... educated guesses.

So you admit that you are unhappy. First step in solving a problem is to admit the problem. My guess is that even if you were given sole power over everything.. you would still find something to be unhappy about.

If you have ever done serious data collection and analysis.. you would know that this has holes that you can drive an 18 wheeler right through.

Believe it or not.. if everyone was happy, this forum does not exist. There would be no political debates and probably no politics. Unhappiness is not the sole monopoly of leftists... We have quite a few posters on here who come here every day (365 days per year) to vent and express their unhappiness. Conservatives are quite unhappy as well.. this motivates their choice of ideology and everything that comes as a result of this.

I know that folks would oppose this vehemently because they like their contrived political drama but here is one proposal. For a given election (state, federal, county, whatever)... no ads, no pamphlets before Sept 1 of that year. it seems like as soon as one election is over.. the next day, folks start up on the next one. Believe it or not.. there is some definite fatigue on the behalf of most voters.

in a perfect world.. neither Biden nor Harris would be the nominee. It would seem that we as Americans can put forth someone better than these two. The reason that Harris would not win if she ran on her own, she is quite abrasive away from the camera. It is that simple.

Sadly enough.. the movie Idiocracy is no longer just comedy. It has become prophetic. Both sides of the political spectrum embody the lack of intellect shown in the movie.

and the fact that you think that someone not believing in God is absolute proof of this... is your showing your self importance. You feel compelled to tell someone how someone to live their life.. and yet would not take such unsolicited advice is another reason I think most religious types are hypocritical to their very core.

We can tell who the true football fans are...

Goodness.. you are dense.

Case in point ^^^^^

See.. this is where we differ.. I do not care even one iota if you believe or not. I am not going to tell you what you need to do. But you on the other hand... are quite the self important type. I do not believe... never will and yet have a fine and moral life in its absence. "You need to study the New Testament. The gospel of John is clear."

And If someone does not believe that? Then what? In the absence of religion.. I have a fine life. Rose out of poverty, earned a Phd, have a great job, do pretty much all that I want to do, have a close knit family with two kids. So it would appear that I have reached the maximum utility/satisfaction with no religion component. it would appear to not be necessary. I can recognize that all humans are flawed and not need religious scripture to tell me that. It is simple variance in genetics and environment.

This may be the least inspiring Presidential election that I have witnessed. 330 million people.. millions of very bright people and we can't come up with two better candidates?

Online forums are full of people that are discontented. The OP being the best example. They do not come on here to tell the world how great their life is and such. Nope.. it is just a place to vent.

I am still waiting on the evidence that Taylor Swift actually changed the outcome of the game. It would be interesting to know how she influenced the play in OT when Chris jones (DT for KC) came unblocked and disrupted SF...

So you admit that life has changed.... the good/not good, valid/not valid is of no value. I can think that something such as KC winning a 3rd super bowl in 4 years is a bad thing.. but it does not change the fact that it happened and there is nothing I can do about it.

The existence of this newer (pay attention to the "er") does not make the older animated version cease to exist. if the race of a fictional character is so important.. nothing is stopping you from watching one of the two versions.

Religion is not necessary to live let alone live a satisfying life. The lie is that you need to be spiritual in order to feel fulfilled or content.
