It doesn't seem limited because if nothing else, sun is a star not a planet and solar rays are something we can observe and study. You are arguing since an object that somewhat resembles a planet but is fundamentally different in every way emits energy that effects humans all the time regardless of the time of birth or continued existence, then it isn't far fetched to assume that the position of planets at the dates of birth of individuals can have an effect that determines the layout of their life. How is this not ridiculous to you. And again, planets shifted, there are 13 nor 12 signs and time of birth can be altered at human will.

EDIT: and even then, the effect of those rays is not on the mood or character traits but on health and the environment

you can't predict or know what decisions humans will make in the future by looking at where planets or stars are moving, period.

but speaking of universe, I wish we could explore it by ourselfs before it dies. It's so big it must be scary, but imagine all the things we could see and learn by going to different galaxies, touching stardust, etc. and if we ever get inside black hole, we would never, ever go back from it! Universe is so much bigger and complexed than we know or future generations of humans will ever know!

It's also interesting how early humans knew more about astrology than we do, so there's a theory that it's because of ancient aliens who taught them, others say it's because they were learning it by themselfs every night looking at the stars and teaching math! What are your thoughts on this?

Unfortunately that would be impossible considering the distance other galaxies are in. It would take a generational vessel, the people on board would have to breed and provide their own sources of food and water. Even if they make such a thing, by the time that vessel goes to another galaxy, humans might already be extinct on earth

I know that

but if we were immortal and fictional ghost-like humans, it would be dope but also scary at the same time. But seeing as we would be invisible and immortal, it kinda takes away the fun of enjoying life

Lucas, how do you feel about Merkel running for a 4th term? Is she a good leader in your opinion?

Mixed feelings. I'd really like some change but I highly doubt the other parties will be able to produce a better candidate. Rumour has it the SPD is considering Martin Schultz which will bring politics to an even bigger halt since he is completely undecided on everything in my eyes.
I mostly hoped the CDU would choose someone else over Merkel but apparently we don't have any viable candidates anywhere which is sad. So, yeah I think she is a good leader but I would've strived for something new.
I will say though that it will be a tough election for her. The refugee crisis and all her mistakes in it really damaged her favorability among the population.

How does she run for a 4th term tho? I thought it was against the law in most democracies for leaders to run for election more than three times

[Lucas32]

There is no limit on how many times you can be a Bundeskanzler in Germany, technically she could run until she is dead. The reason there is no limit on this because the Bundeskanzler is not directly elected by the citizens but by the Bundstag which is depending on the election results every four years. So if a party doesn't fare well in the election. over which the citizens do have the power, they won't have many seats in the Bundestag which means they will have a hard time or even no chance at all to get the Bundeskanzler they want since the Bundeskanzler needs to have more than half the votes from the Bundestag. That's why there is no limit on that.
Also the Bundeskanzler is not actually the head of state in Germany, although Merkel surely is viewed as such internationally. The head of state is the Bundespräsident who can only be elected once and then re-elected another time for a total of 10 years.

We don't have a limit in Germany. Our longest chancellor was Helmut Kohl with 16 years. Angela would be the third/second longest chancellor with Adenauer.

I don't like her party but the Democrats need to solve their problems first and search for a better candidate. They need a clear direction and someone better than Sigmar Gabriel. Angela's party doesn't have many options either. Ursula von der Leyen or Julia Klöckner. I think their female politicans have a better chance in the future elections. My personal fave is of course Sahra Wagenknecht Ugh she would be so good as a chancellor but she is sadly in the wrong party. I wish she was in the SPD. At least she would've a real chance.

It depends on each country. It's two consecutive terms in France. I agree 4 term in a row is a bit iffy, but in the end if that's what people vote for, it's still democracy

what do y'all think about female priests being banned in catholic churches?

[Ecstasy]

I think the same thing as always. The church is discriminating against women, religion is dicriminating against women, stop following it

exactly my thoughts!

women who follow such ideology don't love themselfs! How self-hating do you have to be to study and read all those passages that say misogynistic and opressing things about females, and just decide to ignore them and still preach the same bs ideas from that backward religion

So I'm rewatching Gilmore Girls cuz it's the best comedy series ever made and I love it. In this episode the house is getting tented because they have termites. They live in a small town and everybody finds out. The daughter comes home and says
"4 people asked when we were tenting, 2 people asked me if we were moving and one person asked if we were Atheists"

There's strong fraud suspicion in the Russian electoral system. But if Russians truly do want Putin as President it is still their right as despicable Putin is.

There's no fraud suspicion in the German electoral system, Merkel could be elected until she die, it'd still be democracy.

Y'all can't even let people have fun with astrology? Why are some atheists so miserable?

I can get it's not really real while still enjoying it. Do y'all get mad when you get fortune cookies with Chinese takeout too? Live a little, y'all.

This.

Any job/position should be offered to both genders equally, othrwise it's discriminatory. Unless it's an acting role for a specific gender, gender-specific escort jobs, and such.
