Why am I always ignored on facebook?

When I was a kid, I raised around 30 chickens. I went out to feed those chickens and noticed something interesting; where I threw the grain the chickens ran.

I used to fish when I was younger and noticed the smaller fish kept closer to the shore where the reeds and thickets grew. When I chummed the water, the water would boil in a fish frenzy.

I remember the day when the internet and certain website became "official." I can remember the initial reaction of people who were getting on board. I reflected upon a moment of history involving a ship that was said to be unsinkable.

People as individuals are wondrous and terrific. As a collective, regarding social trends, I find the collective to be an apparition that is nothing less than evil.

Every snowflake in an avalanche cries "not guilty!"

I never had a Facebook account for all the reasons mentioned above, so I can't honestly say I know how you feel with regard to it.

However, it sucks in general to be ignored.

The mixed race child.

I think racism is a three-way road.

I always liked black gospel preaching and (more so) singing. It ranks high on my chart....
But having lived in the deep south, I noticed a mutual segregation of Baptist churches. The Baptist church of Vanilla, the Baptist church of Chocolate - so to speak AND that would include the Baptist church of Taco. The ethnic comparisons ad-nausium.
Anyway, I just wasn't under the impression that I could walk into an all black congregation and become a member - and rightfully so for reasons beyond my understanding.
I look at it like this: the racial purity of every country is preserved at its core. Every country has a society at the outer fringe that has more relaxed views where you can love, marry and bear off-spring with anyone you desire - this certainly preserves "mankind" but not necessarily the specific race.
As with all things, you have to shop to find that which suits your needs. There are plenty of Baptist churches that truly accept all people.
The third lane? I don't think you can walk away from bad experiences and simply chalk it up to racism. All nations want to keep their core identity - I see nothing wrong with that.

Forbidden Planet.

And speaking of planets, Sherlock, are you familiar with "Fantastic Planet."?

This is a terrific 70's animation with a fabulous score. It's not so much about the psyche as it is about the socio-complexities of differing structures. In French with English subs - sometimes you can get a full English dub but it really subtracts from the ambiance.
Below is a video I made with the score and story progression stills. Take a look when you have the time.

I don't think a production of "Grease III" is comming anytime soon.

I seem to remember a hair product in the 70's & 80's called "Dipity Doo."
A thick styling gel you ran through your hair and let dry. After brushing/combing you hair held its shape and style.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him

Southern Baptists celebrate communion with grape juice instead of wine.

I always thought that was a bit extreme.

Jesus didn't turn the water into grape juice at Cana--and he was known to drink wine Himself!

When a Church tries to set higher standards than God's--well, you don't get a good result!

Kinda sticky though....

Hebriac, Jewish, Christian and even Muslim/Islamic faith all seem to acknowledge that the "age of accountability" begins at 12-years old... If the regulatory laws were to meet that standard, a landslide of issues would soon follow with it.
However, addressing communion from the simplest point, some (if not many) church members are reformed alcoholics - not to mention that many districts, counties and parishes have a zero tolerance policy.... Considering many people actually drive to church, the cops would have a field day.
