The criticism was for name-calling me and mocking Jesus' name. Do it again, and we're done.NFBW Wrote: You are the one Mashmont proposing to change laws which would have detrimental impact on my productive and happy life thus far.
If you and I henceforth continue to abide by all the laws that are presently set I propose nothing that would change the way you live your life and you should propose nothing to change the way that I live mine.
So what do you have to constructively criticize me? I am for leaving each other and all laws alone.
I am at a very good place in my life which has been a very good place for over 70 years. Had plenty of ups and downs, but would never change anything nor do I have any regrets. I am very, healthy, very happily married for 22 years, and before that another 20 years. I have a wonderful family from two marriages. I just semi- retired last year from 50 years of project management and estimating in the construction industry on a high school diploma. Sixty hours a week for most of that time.
I am healthy and I am wealthy enough and I consider myself wise. Starting 2001 with nothing but a pretty good job in the DC area and my wife getting her masters degree at Georgetown University, we are right now paying half a million cash for a new construction townhome for rental income - we take possession of it in June in an up and coming area south of DC.
My wife, our six year old daughter and I bought our first townhome 2002 for $250,000. We paid off the mortgage by 2009. I love working with the tools and I did all the upgrades on our home and now similar homes are now selling in our splendid multicultural neighborhood for half a million. In 2016 we drained my 401k and our savings and bought a condo for our daughter to live in while she went for her masters degree. She now works with autistic families. We paid cash $250,000. Now we can sell it for $350,000. My daughter and her husband are moving to California so will begin renting it out.
I’m telling you all this because you claim that I need constructive criticism when you know nothing about me. But we’ve done all that without organized religion being a part of it. You need to understand millions and millions of human beings don’t need you to tell them how to live their lives and what they should believe. But if you have some constructive criticism let’s hear it.

Also, why would you build a home to rent out in your 70s? I have rentals and I'm going to start liquidating. I don't want my kids to have to mess with that stuff.
Good for you doing well financially, but it is by no means the measure of a man or a happy life. Did your first wife pass away or did you divorce?
