As someone who is approaching middle age, I would to express my admiration for this outstanding senior gentleman, Donald J Trump who i think is one of the greatest man ever lived in recent  history.

 

 

With your admiration for Donald J Trump,  you should start a new religion where Trump is the Almighty God, eternal and invincible,  which all people like you should adore and worship!

 

Mister,  you are approaching middle age.  This and your opinion about Trump reveals that in your case, full age is 20 years.  Yes, you are or are thinking like a 10 year old boy, full of fantasies about Heroes who do extraordinary things,  like "surviving" two assassination attempts and was able to escape so far punishment for being one of the greatest criminals in American history, something EXTRAORDINARY!

 

Hopefully when you reach full age, you will have acquired some moral values, and you will recognize Trump for what he really is.

Your next president is the ressurection of George Washington.  This event only occurs once every 200 years, thus you are lucky to have seen it during your lifetime.  We feel so happy for you.

He is always invited to come to Singapore to discuss health and diet.  His first focus right now is helping Americans who are in terrible circumstances.  The good news is that he will be entering the White House, earlier than anticipate, to turn the page.   Being an older folk who cares about having a healthy lifestyle, you should get ready to celebrate.   I feel so happy for you.  🥳

 

But there is a big contradiction.

Just look at the contradiction between a President elect to promote fast food and having the worst fast food as his main stable and then that Kennedy JR.

 

Kennedy by the way has graduated in History and Law.

And now he claims to be an expert on health and food?

Until 1985 (maybe ongoing?) he is a drug addict on heroin.

 

Afterwards he was a leftist environmentalist, joining in to demonstrations, sit ins and 60s protest forms.

You can call him an environmentalist at the best but surely not the expert on health and food.

Kennedy advocates for the transition of fossil fuels to renewable energy. With that he is best placed in Trump's administration. (Irony warning) .

 

During the campaign Kennedy tried to reserve an administrative post with Harris.

In August, amid declining support in the polls, dwindling campaign funds, and mounting challenges to ballot access, the Kennedy campaign began making entreaties to the Harris and Trump campaigns seeking a cabinet post in exchange for an endorsement. = Hypocrite!

 

To sum up: Kennedy is nothing other than a troubleshooter.

Maybe he is the new Bannon in the Trump administration (if he passes the Senate vote at all) [Considering also his trait to elevate every conspiracy theory available].

 

It is not worth spending more time on writing about such crooks.

 

Better build your own opinion of healthy food with real experts from your own research.

I think it will take one more generation, hopefully at least! I'm actually quite surprised it's not legal in the Philippines, I feel like if it's anyone of our neighbours (after Thailand) it would be them. No chance in Malaysia and Indonesia that's for sure. Maybe Vietnam as well, the young people there seem to be really progressive from what I've observed.

 

The reason is probably the main religion practised in the Philippines...

 

Singapore doesn't prefer to stand back. One day they will just change the law again, if they see that the current situation is totally outdated and it will look bad on Singapore...

Don't waste your time reacting to the Dummheit posted by the Sweet Pie here. He is just teasing.

 

The idiocy of comparing Donald Trump to George Washington!  To compare a convicted criminal to a heroic military warrior!  For Trump, Washington was a "loser" because he risked his life for his people.  Trump would only risk his life for... Trump!

Dear Steve, please do not be blinded by your bias against Trump. You got to give credits where it is due.  

 

Did Trump win the elector votes ? Yes, he did. 
Did he sweep all the 7 swing states  ? Yup, he certainly did.
Did he win the popular vote ? Yes, he did.
Did he lead the red wave where Republicans size the Senate and the House of Representives  ? Yes, he did !!

 

He staged the greatest  comeback  in modern political  history that put Biden and Kamala to utter shame. And most importantly, was the America public  familiar with Trump. Yes, they did having lived under his administration for 4 years. Was the american public fully aware of Trump criminal prosecutions ? Of course they do, with all these Democrats propaganda constantly drilling into  their head portraying Trump as the villain. 

 

And guess what did the american public do ? They voted him to the office. They see the BS in Democrats propaganda, hated their identity politics and their woke culture.  They are also pissed off with Democrats condescending attitude towards Trump supporters  and the working class. They see Democrats as losing touch with  the working class  and see themselves as being worse off under Biden administration.  Please do not insult the collective wisdom of the american public.

 

Trump spoke to the American public. What campaign did Kamala or Democrats  run on ? I can't hear of any other than vote for Kamala cos she's the lesser of the evil. What a tiresome and nauseating message.

 

Democrats like to boast that they ran the greatest campaign having raised billions of dollars in election campaign and getting all the A lister celebrities to endorse Kamala. Guess who has the last laugh. The american  public delivered their biggest middle finger to Kamala and the Democrat Party by endorsing Trump and the Republicans party.

So Steve, you should be the one that should act like an adult and embrace your upcoming 47th POTUS  instead of sulking like a spolit toddler refusing to accept reality. You are the minority, suck on it ! Stop living in your own bubble likewise the same for the Democrats Party. Continue doing so, the Republican party will continue to win every elections.

 

I definitely can sleep better in red. Hahaha

 

 

Can't wait for the inauguration in Jan 2025. It's so cool to see Trump dancing the gay anthem YMCA. The Trump dance is sweeping over the world. I hope they play the tune during the inauguration so that we can do the Trump dance and have a great time in this joyous occasion. LOL !

I'm not sure about starting a new religion for Trump but there is definitely a cult of crazy liberal women forming. Looks who's  dividing the country. I'm happy  that the America public rejected the these crazy liberal shit. These women are actually  helping the men to identify them so that they can all avoid these crazies like plague ! Good riddance.

Mister, you are a FOOL if you think that I will read and pay attention of what you write about Trump.  You most probably don't believe it yourself.  

 

You must be nothing but a miserable teaser, like the Sweet Pie,  but I am NO  teas-ee.  Did I just invent this word, ha ha? I instead give time to what is useful and will keep preparing for my Aikido practice this afternoon.  Have a good day.

No Steve, you are your  own miserable teaser. You need to be an adult and embrace your upcoming beloved POTUS who is well loved by the american public just like Biden who warmly received him at the White House.

 

Trump and the Republican Party won BIG in the elections. The american public has rejected Kamala and the Democrats party. 

 

With a united government,  Trump should do the following, pack SCOTUS with all conservative judges,  abolish the pronouns and woke  culture, regulate the american media so that no fake news are reported,  open the investigation on 2020 Elections  cos like many, I believe it was rigged, banned mail in ballots, hold people who prosecuted him accountable cos he was wrongly prosecuted, tightened the border and US economy strong again.

 

He will right many wrongs done in Biden administration. He will Make America Great Again. We are all looking forward to his upcoming inauguration.  Americans will be joyfully celebrating this historical occasion. We are so happy for you and your country ! Cheers !!

Don't worry about a loser calling you a teaser.  Which is worse?  In any case, a loser's meltdown is a normal occurrence.  In America, the game is already over.  Trump has checked his mate, and projects that will help a lot of people—including those who didn't vote for him—are set to start sooner than anticipated. There is nothing @Steve5380can do about it to change the result other than accept the fact with JOY and embrace the forseeable fabulous years ahead and by then @Steve5380 will be 86yo and beaming with satsifaction of Trump's job well done.

Maybe you can help it return to thought provoking discussion.  What are some of the most important issues you like to discuss?  Any suggestions?  I am ready to exchange positive ideas.

[Steve5380]

Like the following issue:   If you watch this video:

 

 

do you think that Tyson is an intelligent, rational man,  or is he nothing but a sinful offender of God who thinks too highly of himself?

 

I don't need to be a famous astrophysicist to think like Tyson.  Instead of looking at the Universe, I look at myself, and then I look at all the little creatures, insects in my backyard and elsewhere I know.  Most of them I find insignificant, but does this make me any better, with powerful superiority, that cares for their well being?   I am insignificant myself.  And I find that caring for me is in my own hands.  And what matters is that we all are very significant... to ourselves.

 

This does not mean that I disrespect religious people,  but just DOGMAS.

Sometimes intelligence can be a hindrance rather than an asset. Intelligence without humility leads to delusion no? Only humility restrain us from cherry picking from the facts around us to reinforce our favourite biases.

You are right.  And there is another factor:  public image.   It is doubtful that Tyson believes that he knows everything and that he is always right.   However,  he may use his intelligence to convey this image of being a sage.

Agreed. I am not sure if you have ever observed that the most difficult people to talk to about spiritual matters are professionals like doctors. They feel as if they have to live up to a public expectation of being respected and admired. So it is difficult for them to discuss things in a relaxed and candid manner.

 

My own suspicion is very often, when the Divine wishes to get our attention, he first has to humble us. Only in that way will we be in a position to listen in humility. In a way, divine infliction of humility seems a punishment at first, but is in fact a much greater blessing.

Many people have an IMAGE to preserve.  This is why we should have persons who are close friends and can let their guard down.  This includes our family.   I have a son who is a doctor, he has to present this image with his patients, but with me he is a modest respectful loving individual, unconcerned revealing his ignorance sometimes.

 

Like everyone else, God has to impose his authority and superiority.  Or, let's rather say,  the Organized Religions through their god or gods have to impose their authority, superiority, entitlement to respect and money.

If you think that the Divine may wish to get your attention, listen to one of many videos like the following:

 

 

I watched this video for its half-hour while digesting my big breakfast-lunch today.  A big collection of ideas and words, apparently profound, but which did not perturb my digestive system. 

 

I find these ideas interesting... to a point,  but I miss to find any solid base in all that.  Records of words spoken by individuals like you and I, no more or less intelligent,  but who missed some modern concepts we have today.  Not that this makes much difference, we still have our limitations.  Many circular arguments, ruminations often made with a clear intention:  to protect some religious dogmas.  They mostly agree that "God" is undefinable...  so... why they try? 😄

 

I like how serious some are about the idea that to create motion, there has to be an unmovable base, ground, that sets things in motion.  Have they forgot about EXPLOSIONS?  In empty space, an explosion sends that what is exploding in real motion... in all directions.  Nothing "unmovable",  simply Newton's "action and reaction",  ha ha.

 

After a long life of thinking,  I am satisfied with my finding that all what is said in this and other similar videos is just speculation.  Some honest, sincere,  others motivated by some interests.  Since the first records in the O. T.  What I do agree is that "God" is undefinable.  And this truth, what others have proposed through convoluted speculations, that God NEEDS us humans.  OF COURSE!   Without us, He would not exist.  We had to invent Him!

I am one of those who does not try to define God. In my experience, it changes all the time as we ourselves grow in understanding.

 

I think it is better, and certainly more fun, to just enjoy the unfolding/revealing of the Divine.

Agree!  My speculations about the Divine also change and evolve.  As agnostics, unbelievers, we still cannot rule out a Divine, a God?, no matter how overloaded this word is!  This can even be...  that what is not for us to know. 

[Steve5380]

LOL!  The intrigue deepens.  In the convoluted obscurity of all this, some ideas start to take form.  I watched the following video during my today Sunday's breakfast-lunch, and my amusement during its 30 minutes blessed my digestion.  Not because it included something new, but it is a good narrative with interesting images. 

 

 

Well... "lied" is a strong word, let's call it a subjective point of view.   One may have read about the Gnostics, and their idea that Jesus was not a god but a wise Sage,  like the Buddha, who was predestined to do good for humanity. This is enough for me to follow his philosophy.   If Catholicism lied about the God of Abraham for 2000 years,  the Old Testament lied about him for nearly another prior 1600 or so years!  This means that lies can have long expiration times, and it is best... not to take anything for granted. 

 

It seems that DOGMAS are on a shaky ground these days.  This is fine with me.  NONE of this information was conveyed to us children in the Catholic elementary and high schools I attended as a child. But this was not necessary, I never believed the DOGMAS in the first place.  The WORD then was that I had to obey God, and if I sneaked away from Sunday mass, I was destined to end up in hell for all eternity.  So I attended mass,  not for fear of hell, but because these were very good private schools and my mother labored a lot to pay for them. The least I could do was to conform, and be a good student.  This payed off very well in my life, and I have a debt of gratitude to the good priests who educated me.  Even today I have no animosity towards Catholicism, I respect - not the institution - but the people who participate in it. I have special sympathy for Pope Francis, born in the same city I was,  whom I recognize as a GOOD man.

 

All the tumultuous reality over what constitutes the basis of the religious institutions...  where does it leaves the justifications for the condemnation of homosexuality?   How far are they from REALITY?  An INFINITE distance!  Our fight as gays for equality is therefore 100% justified.     And so should be our self-respect and self-confidence.

Gay equality is not something you have to fight for. All that is required is for all scientists, researchers using current advanced technology,  to take a stand and demonstrate that some religious doctrines regarding homosexuality are incorrect. In a similar vein, early religions that held that the sun orbit the earth have since changed their mindset.   Sadly, a lot of scientists have not done enough for the gay and still prefer to stay clear, to exonerate the gay as some sort of hideous crime.  You should blame doctor, scientist,  biologist and 100% justified to do so.

Yes, I can blame doctor, scientist, biologist.  However, the many blames should be placed on the Organized Religions, for not adopting REAL doctrines.   This is however impossible for them to do.  So the only sensible solution for them is to fold and disband.  But, you know, they are not going to do this. 

 

Doctors are like medical sheep, they must follow the established "medical doctrine".  But scientists, biologists are free to discover the new, and they have looked at it but not reached conclusions.  I think that they have not looked deep enough, or are not smart.  It is proven that the majority we don't do anything specific to become gays,  and the influence of an environment is totally contradicting.  So it HAS TO BE genetic.  And if so, it is NATURAL.   This is what I feel in my heart, and so should you.

What proof is required to establish the naturalness of being gay?  I can offer them the experiment by sleeping with one of their handsome scientists so they can test my deep rooted feelings and emotions for men and, most importantly, my resulting groans of pleasure.  Guaranteed low budget with conclusive findings.

Isn't that a bit too simplistic?

 

How to change religions and their standing?

In 1610 just think of Galileo...

Changing the words of certain holy books might be a dangerous thing for some persons to do.

Unfortunately, I can't go so deep here due to the limitations that Singapore imposes on free speech and religion.

 

What advanced technology should scientists or researchers use?

 

So far scientist have not found the gene for developing wrinkles or for the smile also.

 

 

The only way forward is the separation of religion from politics/ laws = secularism.

Criminal rules should not be based on religion or religious backgrounds.

 

Personally I think homosexuality is not a choice but probably a genetic error in programming our sexual desire somehow different which results in the same sex attraction. In all my life I never really had any sexual stimulation for girls or women but only to men.

 

Surely, we homosexuals have to fight to have our minority sexual orientation that differs from the majority, respected and accepted. Without all those true gay heroes that fought for our rights - in Singapore and other parts - we would be still hiding and in daily fear of prosecution.

 

I also predict that within 10 years Singapore will permit same sex marriages. Already due to the fact not to look very outdated after plenty of neighbouring countries will permit same sex marriage.

It will be just a matter of time.

The idealistic can be simplistic, and probably will never happen.  But your prediction of same-sex marriage in SG in 10 years seems quite reasonable.  After all, the country is not some retrograde banana republic or fanatic religious state.

[Steve5380]

I am a kind man, and I would like you gays who are or will be seniors to reach this condition with full knowledge, so you can enjoy a healthy and happy seniority like I am having.  Here is a video with some advice to the elderly:

 

 

Why do I bring up this video?   So you learn from it?  NO!  I do it...  so that even at 81 ( this is as far as I personally know) you won't have any need for these advices and even find them not trustworthy.  Let's see what they are:

 

1- We should not exert ourselves when getting up in the morning, before having a most important meal: a good breakfast.  This is because our body after fasting overnight is starved, out of fuel, and too weak for big efforts.

 

Hopefully at these ages you have learned about metabolism, how the body after ending digestion makes the liver switch to the alternate fuel,  the ketones it produces from fat,  which is as good as the glucose from food.  So there should not be any of this "out of fuel", even after the many hours of intermittent fasting.  Hopefully you have taken on this good habit! As soon as I get up I drink a cup of black coffee, and thereafter I go several times a week to the gym to exercise HEAVYLY full of energy,  these days working my legs, my glutes ( to show off a bubble butt?...  ha ha, why not? ), and I don't have any food until I enjoy my early lunch. 

 

2- Don't stand up right out of bed, one can faint and fall.  This may be true for people with hypotension ( very low blood pressure ), but if we don't jump up but get up normally we won't have this problem.  In any case, at these ages we don't need to rush,  we don't oversleep our time to go to work,  but we may rush to pee,  ha ha.  Well, better to take it easy!

 

3- Avoid at all cost to strain in the bathroom.  This refers to forcing a bowel movement when constipated.  Yes, we never should force our body too hard, this may cause a hernia!  But... if we are smart seniors, we have learned about having the good metabolism that is always perfect, without diarrheas, constipations, whatever, by caring for our microbiome. We should ingest plenty of friendly bacteria, if possible mega-doses of L- Reuteri, L-Casei like recommended by Dr. William Davis ( I posted his videos some time ago), or at least, eat some prebiotics and probiotics plus plenty of good food.

 

So there you have it!  There are plenty of these videos with (good) advice for seniors, made with the assumption that we seniors have become inferior beings, full of decadence, ready to pass on at any time.  This is common, but should not happen TO US!  At least not before being much, much older than 71

Yes!  Don't remind me of the time I greedily ate a whole guava fruit, just to have a piece of crap as hard as diamond refuse to come out of my anus the next day. I almost had my brain blown off by pushing and forcing the fucking monster out of my body and nearly scars my virgin ass.   Could you believe it?

[singalion]

That happens with just one guava fruit?

 

The science says that if this happens with one guava fruit you might have irritated bowel syndrome or fructose malabsorption...

 

I don't believe it.

 

Even if it was the bigger guava type (never happened to me)...

 

More that you ate 300gr of chocolate at once or a whole bowl of Nutella.

I read here some issues with constipations and other digestive problems.  Maybe you are already 71 or older?

 

Because if you are younger,  you are not taking sufficiently good care of your metabolism, digestive system.

It feel bad that at your age (71 and older), constipation and other digestive problems are your common occurrence.  We don't want to hear anymore about it.

If you’re in your 50s and have the looks and body of Aaron Kwok, I think anyone would still like.

Aaron Kwok will be surely liked at 60, which he will be next year.  And this is not unrealistic at all.  Those who have the fortune to learn how to take good care of their bodies and have the discipline to do so have a good chance of being liked at 50, at 60 and beyond.  If you now are 24 years old, and besides pursuing more friends you also go after good health, you can become one of them.   Don't miss the opportunity!   Good life does not end at 40, or 50,  but it can extend to 80 and beyond.

While hopefully all gays who will be seniors will retain some good posture and athleticism,  let's not forget the "some".

 

Although an octogenarian may practice a martial art, be thrown, roll forwards and backwards, and work out well in the gym, it is all far from what younger guys can do.  ( not that this matters so much, since the "some" is very valuable and makes a hell of a difference for octogenarians...  ha ha ).  I doubt that any octogenarian could do what the dancers in this video do:

It is fortunate that the cathedral Notre Dame has been restored and is being reopened now.  Here is a video of the ceremony,  which is interesting to see, although not  the 3 hours of it.  Start watching at 1:00, after the first hour of display of personalities, shortly before the High Priest starts banging on the door of the church three times, ha ha!

 

 

Several decades ago I visited this church, I even climbed up the hundreds of steps of one of its two towers.  It was not so clean and impeccable then,  although a many centuries old church does not need to be impeccable.  Maybe one day I will do this again.  In the meantime, it's good to know that it is there now,  ready to be visited. 

[Steve5380]

This ceremony of the reopening of Notre Dame...  was it more religion... or politics? Every who-is-who in power and money was there...

 

Shortly in the video I was confronted with the image of this American convicted criminal, greeted by the French president. His view gave me some repulsion, the old man looking like a tired spirit of evil, yet displaying his typical haughtiness, arrogance, like giving a message of "see, in spite of being such an abomination, here I am! ".

 

But the repulsion lasted only one second.  Then prevailed the admiration of the magnificent architecture of the building, incredible feat of the French builders centuries ago,  restored with the millions and millions of dollars poured into it!  ( how many children in this world are dying of malnutrition...? ).  But I am happy for society to have recovered this church! 

 

Of the attendants, the one that I liked the most was this guy in the role of altar-boy in white, the one who held the writings for the High Priest to read,  which I found cute.  I wondered if the High Priest also found him cute...  But this should be his personal issue, unrelated to his profession!  😄

Maybe you have asked yourself what this Argentinian senior Steve did in earlier days?   I found a video that gives an answer:

 

 

Born in Buenos Aires,  I left the city as an adult to roam the Argentine Pampas, working as a gaucho,  hoarding cattle, horses, sheep in Patagonia,  returning periodically to the big city.  There, I went to the Cantinas, where beautiful women chased after me to dance the Tango with them.  Like the gaucho in the movie, I did so, but I did it with more passion than roughness.  Once I could get rid of them,  I returned to the Pampas with my dear animals... 

 

Well... well... it was not exactly so.  After completing my studies of engineering,  I joined a company in the oil industry and then I roamed the Pampas doing engineering work in oil wells.  Yes, there was cattle, horses, sheep in Patagonia, but only once I joined a barbecue made with a slaughtered sheep caught nearby.   After 5 years of this, I was transferred to Houston where I did most of my engineering work.  And the Tango?...  I'm sorry, I don't know to dance it.  My German family had little contact with Tango, and I was more passionate after classical instrumental music.  

 

But now in my 9th decade,  why shouldn't I try something new?  Once I get my black belt in Aikido,  I may dedicate some time to learn to dance the Tango.  I am expert at tuning around, moving in and out, and falling.  I might still not dance with cute gays, but I'm sure some younger women will enjoy doing it with me.

Dear gays,  when we become seniors it becomes easy to experience something we did when we were children, and find it totally enhanced.  This happened to me recently with some music from Franz Schubert.  Since childhood I have loved the sublime music of his Impromptus, both his op. 90 and this op. 142.   Here was my surprise:

 

 

I have recently "discovered" the art of pianist Dong Hyek Lim, a winner in the 2005 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. I hadn't experienced earlier the mesmerizing musicality of his playing.  In this recording I find new nuances I have not heard before in my long life,  and I recognize that his interpretation is... the best of the best. Especially in the Impromptu no.2, which I also play sometimes. Fortunately I was not holding some important papers, who could have been ruined with my tears.

 

I also like to see his expression.  More than playing the piano, he looks like he is having delicious sex!  He seems to feel so much the musical emotion, that he is having sex with Schubert,  not the man itself, who was not very attractive physically,  but with his spirit.  I'm sure that if Schubert could be alive and present during the playing,  he may not resist falling over the pianist to have sex with him.  😄   And Dong Hyek may welcome this,  we don't have sex only with bodies...

I am sure that you may wonder why Steve posts so much about music in this topic in the Main Forum.   Well... this topic is about becoming a Senior, and this process enhances our spirituality.  Listening to great music gives us an immediate connection with the Divinity inside each of our spirits.  It is a spiritual experience that blesses us as we age. So, it can be recommended anywhere, anytime.

 

This is why I post here this superior "recording of the century" performance of the summum of Western classical music:

 

 

But Steve... WHY you post on this days that celebrate the BIRTH of Jesus, a work of art that deals with HIS DEATH?  Sorry... it is my bias.  I don't recognize "tragedy" in good music.  Or even if it is tragic by definition, I only care about the musical enjoyment it creates.  And,  IF THERE IS ENJOYMENT in this performance!!!   Of so many videos and recordings of this Cantata, this old recording, which does not include any video, is among the best, possibly THE best.  Great clarity by the orchestra, moderate, slow tempo that allows to perceive each note,  a good choir and possibly the best soloist singers of the times. From the very beginning "come you daughters, let me lament" one is fascinated by the clear polyphony composed by its most relevant master, J.S. Bach.  Nearly FOUR hours of this,  but there is no need to listen so much. 😄 

 

DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY to record and save this music.  Open the video on a separate YouTube window and read the comments,  they confirm what I am writing.  One can buy the CD of this performance at Amazon for US$29.99, or... one can download it from YouTube. How?   I have been using for years an excellent program, the "4K Video Downloader",  for which I paid US$25 for a lifelong private license.
