Sometimes we will gather at events (e.g., lectures, movies), participate in an activity, or sometimes just kick back and schmooze or dance - but we ca …

We work under the principles that there are three key elements to start with that will create a successful startup: good people, a product the market actually wants, and money (either by spending as little money as possible or having access to enough money to it see through to customer interaction). Startups that fail at any one of these three key elements will likely fail. But all three are doable. And that’s what makes startups so exciting – they may be hard but they are doable. Cofounder Clu …

[FYI: this group is not run by Dr. Michael Brown. In fact, he has nothing to do with it nor indorses it or even knows of its existence as of this writing] In his book, "A Queer Thing Happened to America" (offered on Amazon), Dr. Michael Brown takes a factual look at the history and impact of the Homosexual Agenda. Could it be that like Feminism today, what might have started out as a good thing, a right not to be abused and to be treated humanly, has gone too far? Is it out of control? Can …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

Happy New Year! I remember you all from the original group that began in Pacifica. My members and meetups were so limited there.  But we had fun while it lasted! I have since moved to downtown San Mateo, and am reviving this group! Let's go drink and chat! I have a few new members that I am extremely excited about.  And even a new fellow organizer!  Coming soon! "San Francisco is a very vegetarian friendly city, and we are so lucky for that! However, on the outskirts of the city, in towns such …

*Tired of not having any single friends? *Have you been the 3rd or 5th wheel just one too many times? *Do your non-single friends always push you on the single guy/girl in the room thinking just because you’re both single, you're automatically going to be into each other? *Would you like to find friends that can be ready and on the way in an hour? *Would you like to meet other single people doing single people things on a single person schedule but don’t know where to go to meet them? Well, if t …

Our purpose is to create a public forum where believers in Jesus Christ and those seeking to learn more about The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost can meet up to help spread awareness about Global Tyranny.

The only way to defeat this evil within yourself is through the teachings of Jesus Christ, which ultimat …

Let's face it, we all could use more playtime, whether you're a dog or human, and our dogs can never get too much socialization and exercise.  It's in their nature to want to be social, and more active they are, healthier they will be (mentally and physically), same goes for us humans!  :) This group will meet regularly, dedicated to doing fun hikes or long walks in beautiful locations all around in and around San Francisco Bay Area. The goal is to have a regular calendar of events going so the …

The Drug Users Union is an international organization dedicated to the development of leadership and civic engagement/activism in drug using communities worldwide. The so-called War on Drugs has caused far more harm than it has prevented--not only to drug users, but indeed, to society as a whole. The stigma created by WoD propaganda serves only to demonize drug users, transforming us into one of the most unfairly scapegoated communities in the world. When we internalize this manufactured stigma, …

When it comes to the game of love and of relationships, the game has been rigged against you. It has been your whole life. Just like playing in a casino, the odds are not in your favour. Sure you can win but, when you do so it not because of the odds, it is in spite of them. How and why did the game become to be rigged against us? Well because we are all born into a Sex 2.0 world. The Sex 2.0 world is a toxic environment for relationships. What if I told you that there is something you can do to …

What if we all got together and considered a new, upgraded format for intimate relationships? Let's do it! If you are interested in human sexual psychology and want real insights into why many relationships don't work and what you could do about it, this is the place for you. If you wa …

Bottled water corporations are trying to change the way people think about water. Water is a human right and common resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold. By retailing and promoting bottled water in our national parks, the bottled water industry is attempting to paint its eco-unfriendly product green. Our national parks were never meant to serve as billboards and concession stands for the bottled water industry. It sends the wrong message about our national commitment to water, our mos …

Let's get together to get a better understanding of what is wrong with the rule of Corporate America and how it can be changed and what we can do to bring about a change. The premise is that none of us is really all that different from those living around us here in Oakland. Discussions …
