My name is James, I am an Opera refugee, I like discussing philosophy with a bit of a waggish point of view. I don't believe in deities, but some others should. I don't believe in the supernatural, paranormal, metaphysical, psychic, mystic, spectral or magical realms, although we can talk about it. I am a sports fanatic, having played football for UCLA about the same time as O.J. Simpson (although I ultimately chose a different path than OJ). I love a good joke and have a realistic, though quite whimsical outlook on life. I am a materialist in that I believe consciousness, thought, feeling, mind, and will can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena (easy breezy). I have healthy emotions and I won't always hold them in. I can often argue either side of a debate very convincingly. I love frequent sex in my 60s with younger women and love to discuss serious sexual topics. I love, love psychology simply because it explains why people do what they do and I understand more about the people I am close to, whether they be family or cyber-friends or something in between. And finally, I am very family oriented with 3 marvelous children of my own, 3 grand kids, 3 siblings and tons of cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, etc.
