It’s taken over from God because it can speak to you…Fortunately, the folks who believe in God believe that he speaks to them…
Parisians, at least those living the nice arrondissements within the peripherique, are absolutely certain that theirs is the best city in the world. Thus they view everyone who is not Parisian as a lower form of life. If Paris is best, and they live in Paris, then they are the best also. And they must be right in this because they have chosen to live in Paris. And everyone who has decided to live elsewhere must be flawed - in judgement, in character, in taste and most likely intellect. So they are not going to be friendly towards such flawed people.

Ooh I think I’ve hit a nerve 
Your explanation of your reply should be very interesting. Here in the US the people in the south will tell you they live in “Gods” country, and if you are not from the south you are most definitely flawed, there is no place like the south. You will hear this any where you go in the world, people are proud of their origins.

''U.S. federal employees may try to recruit their coworkers to join their religion, the Trump administration said on Monday in a statement allowing workers to organize prayer groups during non-work hours.
Agency employees may seek to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views” in the office, Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. government’s human resource agency, wrote in a statement.
Supervisors can attempt to recruit their employees to their religion, so long as the efforts aren’t “harassing in nature,” according to the statement. Agencies can’t discipline their employees for declining to talk to their coworkers about their religious views.‘’

I get along incredibly well with Trump supporters it is those who did not bother to vote that sicken me .
Trumps base here is still his base but Independents I know who voted for him regret it but if you look at how low Democrats are now polling I am not optimistic about Midterms but since Trump is polling so low with them perhaps there is still light at the end of this tunnel .

I think it’s sad that young people now will miss out on genuine and sincere interactions and the company of older people - when I was young, older folk were some of my favourite people!
It’s definitely more of a problem in the West - many cultures around the world still place a huge amount of emphasis and respect on the elders, including them just as much as we, as a species, always have.
Maybe it’s just another form of control - the establishment doesn’t want older wise people to influence future generations, they just want their own propaganda to control them

Well, as I’ve said time and again, we need moderate candidates to start stepping forward, no matter Democrat / Republican, and then, maybe, we can get a large portion of the non voting voters back to the polls.

I think those who do not vote are just politically apathetic , the voting percentage where I lives in 20 percent , what a disgrace .
We have roughly a month of early voting which is open Saturday and even if you loathe every candidate there are always amendments , judges , etc .
A moderate is impossible to gauge because what might be a moderate for you might not be for me .
I do like Josh Shapiro and hope he runs in 2028 but for many Democrats he is to far right , they want Newsom .

Well said Azz, as a boy in the fifties most households had an old person living with them, being just after the war it was usually the grandmother, having lost a lot of young men to the war.
They passed on valuable experience to the next generation and interesting stories to the young folks of which I was one in those days.
Many foreign countries and some religions still keep the tradition alive and the whole family lives in one house and it reminds me of the ‘Waltons’ on TV, I was brought up watching the Waltons and I think we need more of that today. Not just emulating some of those family values, but better examples on TV instead of the endless gratuitous violence and soaps with an agenda.

When I moved here from Albany I drove and stayed further north in state of Florida which is considered Bible belt for a day .
Very nice people but everything does evolve around Church to the point that private businesses like places to eat do not open till after " Church time " . I was staying at a motel and again very nice people but when checked in sat afternoon the clerk asked me if I wanted a wake up call to go to mass .
I told her No thank you I am a Muslim was there a Mosque ?
She said NO and smiled , I stay in character not a Muslim but think she read through my self amusing skit .
