You put everyone through the same test of allowed to own/purchase. Those that are approved get it noted on their government issued ID. With that approved ID, they are allowed to purchase and possess. Even those who have no interest in owning or purchasing a weapon still go through the background test. The goal is to make sure someone purchasing or owning a weapon is a safe, law-abiding individual not how many and type of firearm they may own!!

Interesting topic! Looking forward to the comments from the female gender. Sorry guys, but your opinion does not answer the OP's question!!!!

Gender bias!! A woman can just ask, a man can only wish!!

I think most people will support stronger penalties for the illegal use or possession of a firearm. I think they would also support some level of required knowledge and emotional stability to purchase. What they will not support is the government or some other organization knowing who has a firearm and what that firearm is.

We have seen many examples of excessive greed on both sides. Unions that have wanted more than an employer could provide and the company goes bankrupt. We have seen businesses get to greedy and either competition ate them up or their employees move to better jobs. End result, they go out of business. There has to be a balance where the company prospers and all share those benefits. Without that, there is only business failures and jobs lost.

All 3 countries have introduced capitalistic policies into their economies as pure socialism was failing. The truth is that when the government provides a job for everyone, the performance of the people doing those jobs is sub-par and the results inadequate. When there are no consequences to inadequate performance, that will be the level of competency you will receive.

To men, sex is more physical while to women, it is more emotional. Yes, both partners have a responsibility to make it good for their partner. If you can't express what you enjoy to your partner, how can they give you a satisfying experience? Likewise if you have sexual hangups and are unwilling to give your partner what they desire, how can you expect them to have a positive experience? Unfortunately, many people still have many issues and are sexually repressed. One other key, you can only change your own knowledge and performance not your partners. They are either willing to learn and adapt or not!! IMO, if it isn't a danger to your health, give it a try!!!

IF I had the money, I certainly would have a sugar baby!!! At least it is an upfront business transaction that satisfies both parties!!

While you may be right on men wanting a committed relationship, I suspect the details of what that relationship is are very different. The devil is in the details!!

So simple: most men marry for sex and most women marry for the relationship. The 2 will never be compatible!

Most economies are a combination of capitalism and socialism. In most of the western world, capitalism is the dominate economic force with a small amount of socialism. Where that line falls varies between countries with the US being more capitalistic and the EU less.

In all ways, capitalism is the best economic system for those willing to put out the effort to succeed in life. It also provides a reasonable level of support for those who are physically or mentally unable to provide for themselves. What it does not provide is a reasonable standard of living for those who should be capable of a successful life but are unwilling to put forth the effort. Those are the people capitalism throws away and allows to die. Not much loss there.

True socialism provides for all members of society at the same level but a lower level than capitalism would. For those who would otherwise be failures, this is an improvement in the standard of living they would have under capitalism. For those who would otherwise be successful in life, it is a reduction in their standard of living. Eventually, they will put out less effort and the socialist economy will suffer. Most countries, even the communist ones, have figured out that some level of capitalism is required to have a successful economy. When you destroy the incentive to work, people will no longer put out the effort.

one day after you DIE!!

LOL

Forever is impossible with the constraints on relationships today. We all change as the years go by yet we expect the relationship will stay the same. We are unwilling to accept that our partner has changed and they require something new of us or acceptance of the new situation to maintain the relationship.

People mature differently over time and the partner you knew 20 years ago is not the partner you have today. You have also matured in some way and unless you both matured in the same way at the same rate, there will be conflict. The challenge is to find a mutually acceptable resolution to that conflict if the relationship is to survive and be healthy for both.

Using just the chronological age is inadequate especially as we get older. There comes a point when we look at different people in the same age group and see very different people and the lifestyle they enjoy. Some act truly old in their lifestyle and let their problems control what they will and won't do. Some act much younger than their actual years and try to overcome any restraints in their lives. They live a much younger lifestyle. It is finding those compatible lifestyles that is the ultimate goal. One only has to look at a number of profiles in a given age range and see the difference in they enjoy doing to understand where they are in lifestyle years.

This is probably the right choice you should be making. Share the fun!!

You are correct, there are very few actual needs such as food, water, and some level of shelter from the elements. Human contact is not a need either and sexual satisfaction can be self administered. I think most of us want a little more in life than basic survival and then human companionship and sex becomes an important element of that improved lifestyle.

The simple basics: sex, companionship, and the freedom to do the things they enjoy! Not difficult but almost impossible to find in an older woman.

103 and in the nursing home!!
