HJFinAZ: I agree completely, my first grand daughter was born out of wedlock and her father is a pretty cool dude. On the other hand, Shawna was married to the father of the 2 younger ones and he is a complete ass.

I just want to see today's thinking more clearly, old & senile ya know.


Happy New Year Pat!

I´m not too old, but I don´t really like the ever increasing number of single mothers. I wouldn´t go so far as to say it´s immoral, just not a lifestyle choice I would have made, nor would wish my kids to make.

Before I get a bashing sigh I do realise there are single mothers who have had husbands or long term live in partners, this is completely different. I´m thinking more about young women who think nothing of having children, sometimes by different men. It´s irresponsible in my opinion.

Elley: Being single and alone,sometimes lonely,I watch lots of movies,well about 5 a week. Just been to see Avatar and it is awesome,James Cameron has just raised the bar quite a few noches, this new level in animation and sfx will for last the next 5 years at least. Avantar will bag a brace of Oscars,go see it. Tis on realease in 3D. S.Weaver is ok,others are better. The story is ok,seen better. The visuals are amazing (except the depth of field is quite short making the immediate foreground and not too distant background unfocused,maybe a 3D shortcoming). But overall the Fx are stunning,as is the score and sound design. Also see Hotel Rawanda,great true story and superb acting. Also see Good Night and Good Luck with Clooney re the downfall of that evil twat McCarthy using real footage. Three Kings with Clooney is also good.And finally Defiance is excellent with Craig David in a true story about Jewish resistance in WW II.


Hi Elley. I´m going to the cinema tonight, but I don´t think I´d enjoy Avatar, despite your positive review overall.

I´m thinking about watching a Spanish movie, Celda 211, it´s had some very good reviews.

Odysseus101: Present:

"Your bum looks just fine in those jeans, babe..."

Past:

From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1594:

JULIET:

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.


rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Bullshitting with style!

Such romance, but I´m sure if Romeo and Juliet had lived, it
wouldn´t have been too long before she was shouting at him....

"Thou degenerate guts-griping tyrant"
William Shakespeare

You´re quite amusing, but you need to grow up a little.

And, you appear to make too many wild assumptions about people.

rubendario: Yes, the last time I did it with my wife, it was so disgusting that I had to think of Jennifer Lopez just to get through it. I was just doing it out of matrimonial obligation....that's when I realized, life is too short and it was time to get a divorce, why do something you really have no passion doing?


I don´t understand why anybody would want to, or indeed be able to, have sex with somebody who disgusted them. dunno

seekndestroy: well that is just it.... i have served as comic relief, but clearly im not considered relationship material.... i've come to terms with the fact that i prefer the latter !!


I was reading some old threads earlier, some of which you had posted in, and then I noticed this thread.

I wasn´t a member of your fan club then, as you know wink, and
I´m still not because I think you are simply playing games. Nobody can change so radically, unless of course they forget to take their medication. laugh

Good luck though if you really are trying to control your macho personality. cheers

MistaPepperZ: I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I can't date a person unless I know them." When will people learn that dating is a process in which you can best get to know a person? In the world of microwaves, fast cars, automatic machine guns and Michael Phelps everybody desires to have everything a little faster. The people who desire to wait to get to know everything about a person before they get over themselves and give that said person a chance has an older mentality than the state of Kentucky.

There IS a personal dating experience out of this. I had a girl tell me that she couldn't date me until she was absolutely sure it was a good idea. Sure, I'll bite. I thought that was reasonable. But then three months passed by and we didn't go out on a single date. Mind you, everybody knows the kind of person I am. I didn't wait on her to settle her crap. I went out with someone else and dated them for a while.

Anyone encounter something similar?


Sounds to me like she simply wasn´t interested in you and used that expression as an excuse.

Come to think of it, I don´t know anybody who says that. Why would people wait to date? It´s not the same as prolonging a big decision about moving in with someone, or getting engaged, which I can understand.

It makes no sense, unless they really aren´t into someone and want to let them down lightly.

Iuchi_Zien: As somebody who suffers from chronic Depression I do have an understanding of mental ill health, I also came close to being sectioned because I didn't believe my anti-depressants were working and refused to take them along with my diabetes meds.

Nothing I have read about bi-polar disorder suggests that you become incapable of making judgements, and I fought hard to say that in spite of my depression I had the RIGHT to stop taking my meds and since I wasn't a threat to anybody else they had no right to treat me as incapable.

We are all assuming that China somehow is incapable of organising a fair trial, if he was as uncontrolled as his family say I'm sure his defence team would have put that forward. I find it interesting that the government and the family don't suggest the trial was unfair yet that is the time when mitigating evidence should have been put forward. Certainly from what I have read his defence was "I didn't know it was there" not "I'm mentally ill"

Mental illness is not stupidity, but it certainly encourages the making of stupid decisions (I could have saved myself a whole heap of aggravation by simply lying about taking my meds!) But that should never absolve me of responsibility for the decisions I or anybody else make.


I'm sorry about your illness, yet I am at a loss, in the light of this in particular, why you should be so blinkered in your views about this specific case.

As for the comments you make about the Government, if you are talking about the British Government, you are quite wrong. They have publicly denounced the execution and have not yet let it rest.

I do not wish to argue with you about the varying degrees of mental illness, nor whether one suffering from such is able to fully comprehend whether they should take their medication and the consequences if they don't.

Most people I know have serious misgivings about Chinese politics and how it affects the way of life for people living there. It has been compared to life in Spain under Franco, or any dictatorship for that matter, when people are unable to hold get togethers or have visitors without the fear of a heavy knock on the door, or even worse. I also doubt that many people would condone the number of executions there have been in China or the methods adopted.

But then, I am always shocked, when I read here on CS, people writing about how they would be happy to "pull the trigger" themselves, so what do I know as a small dissenting voice in the crowd of would be executioners. dunno

Iuchi_Zien: The problem is there is an enormous difference between 'emotionally unstable' and 'not responsible for his actions', a friend of mine whilst in Russia was asked by a friend of a friend to bring a parcel to the UK and post it, which he did. What he did was incredibly stupid but does not make him 'not responsible for his actions' the family are trying to say that doing something incredibly stupid does make him not responsible and nothing I have heard on any of the news outlets suggest he was not capable of making a judgement, however stupid that judgement may have been. Stupidity is not a legal defence!


I think yo may be pre-judging without any real understanding of mental ill health.

I do not profess to be an expert either, but from what I have read and heard whilst here in the UK for Christmas, this man may have been bipolar, which induces manic and uncontrollable behaviour if not treated, His family believe he has not been medically treated for some time.

I do not believe real mental illness can or should ever be equated to "stupidity" as you say. The problem in this particular case was that the man was not allowed a medical assessment before he was executed, despite the pleas made.....that is a crime.

wulfen: So you solely base your views on attraction on a guy's height? Ok if the height difference is to great, a couple will look kinda weird, but it works both ways.

Anyway, if you had done a bit of research, you would have found that people tend to be bigger in colder climates, and smaller physically in warmer ones. It's a matter of evolution, smaller bodies disperse heat faster, while larger bodies are better at storing up heat.

It's why animals were larger in the Ice Age as well. If you were looking for taller guys, you did the wrong choice of moving to Malta


But she didn't move to Malta, she lives in Spain.

As for your theory about height, well for goodness sake, we are so integrated now, tall, short, medium height men, or women, can be found anywhere in the world.

All I can say to the OP is get out of the Little Britain communities, make friends with the Spanish, learn the language, etc etc....your options will increase, and you will meet great people who do not live their lives eating English breakfasts, going down the pub...English pub of course....afternoon and evening, night after night.

I have, after living here for five years, but maybe it's been easier for me living away from the ex-pat enclaves. I never come across any other English person here, and that suits me, because it means I've been able to integrate fully. Many of the ex-pats living in Spain, on the coast in particular, have a variety of problems in one way or another, I see this because I personally know a few, and from others I've met here on CS in the past. Not a road I would want to go down! I suspect it would be similar in Malta if you choose to mix with the many ex-pats there.

Good luck.

Iuchi_Zien: Firstly, if he was sufficiently ill that he was not aware of or responsible for his actions why had the family not done anything before he decided to have a pop career in China? I mean from what I have seen in coverage of this it seems there was no record of mental illness in the UK, certainly an interview with a psychologist implied that he was working from hearsay to come up with a diagnosis, which I suspect wouldn't have been the case if he had been diagnosed as mentally ill in the UK.

Secondly, if you go abroad without taking account of the laws of the country you are visiting you are a fool, would you have any sympathy with a Russian lorry driver who came over here got drunk and killed a young family in their car and then turned round and said "Well I wouldn't have been over the limit in Russia" would you? So why doesn't the same apply when 'westerners' go abroad.

Finally Heroin is illegal across the world, there is a reason for that but that is not the topic of this thread.


Well, I have travelled extensively in my work and I abide by the rules and customs of every country I live in. However, I am sane, and certainly not into drug smuggling nor any other illicit behaviour.

As for this particular man, I have heard his daughter speak on the BBC, and it was clear that his family had no idea of what he has been doing for some time, and his few emails were undoubtedly written. as confirmed by mental health specialists, by an emotionally unstable man. This man apparently was a successful businessman in his early life, but has been living outside the UK for some time and his family had not been an integral part of his life, as happens so often with people who have mental problems.

I have lived and worked in Russia, as you mention, for some time, and of course I realise the laws there, and in other countries I've worked in, but then, as I've already said, I am perfectly sound of mind.

Things are not always so cut and dried.

No I don't...in reply to the thread question, but then I am anti capital punishment for any crime, and I'm not going to argue now about the whys and wherefores here.

As for the particular case which has been brought up here, I am absolutely appalled that this man has been executed, and I sincerely hope the British Government pays more than the "slap on the wrist" lip service it has made so far.

As for those of you who bang on about how people should know and realise their fate when they do such things in certain countries, well that's all well and good, but not as simplistic as that. Many of these people often, in my opinion, do not truly realise the consequences of their actions, and believe they will be treated in accordance with Western law if the worst comes to the worst.

This particular man was, as far as we know, mentally ill....how many 53 year old mentally stable men would believe they could have a successful pop career in China)...or anywhere for that matter.

I am absolutely disgusted about this particular case, regardless of all the comments made in this thread about drug smuggling.

As an ex hockey player I go along with the support here, but it is without a doubt football which is the most popular sport on a world wide level.

The best team in the world is of course Liverpool FC!
