I used to post on this forum. Lately, I haven't because my computer got fried by a power surge. it's actually been quite refreshing for my self esteem.

I'm not bashful; I'm just fed up with not being "worthy"

I've been rejected on here for having a college education and for being too old.

Being smart counts for nothing here.

The men like the young ones and don't want a woman who is smarter or has more education than they do.

"the men like the young ones and don't want a woman who is smarter or has more education than they do"

Sorry, kiddo! Have to completely disagree. First off, I like women who I can relate to. In order for that to happen they need have experienced life a lot more than the younger gals. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with young women, but I don't see having a lot in common with them. We're at different points in our lives, if you know what I mean.
As for intelligence, I find it stimulating. Most of a relationship is sharing all the things you do. If you can't talk/discuss those things, seems to me it would get pretty boring in short order!

thanks for all your replies and comments :-))

intellectualism is seen differently in different parts of the world. i'm quite aware it's a terrible sin for a brit intellectual to identify himself/herself as such....what a shame!!!

and, i don't think anyone with a PhD is better than any illiterate person sweeping the streets, but why on earth would intellectuals have to hide and be reluctant to express their opinions on things, only n o t to be considered stuck-up??

who is setting the standards here????

who do you go to when you have legal problems or a toothache, if not to professionals, who are intellectuals, after all?

personally, as a croatian english teacher and somebody who holds an MA in english and russian lit and linguistics (those are just facts of life i'm not throwing into anyone's face to make myself sound more important), i'm sorry that the culture and heritage i love so much ( the brit one) has in these past few decades been putting wrong people on the pedestal.....c'mon!!

i'm trying to teach croatian teenagers that winston churchill is far, far more important than some shallow victoria beckham character or whoever and whatever is a current fad....
don't tell me intellectuals don't matter!..as far as i know, german would probably be spoken now all across the isles if it hadn't been for an intellectual like him......

Yikes.
What are we doing here SHIP?

Your right about everything bar Winston Churchil.He was a military incompetant and got countless people killed by shooting his big mouth off (much the same as many politicians do). The now declassified papers in the British system now prove he was a liability to the military command structure who interfered and meddled in anything he could much to the char grain of the entire structure of the military.

haha...all things considered, you might be right about winston :-))
get well soon!

Without being disrespctful with the kind girl who has initiated this thread
... I can see some males tongues sharpened just to sound very intellectual here.
Human nature...Holden Cawfield!! come and help me!!

and his predescessor (or his rivals at the time) was much better then? Giving Hitler whatever he wanted, not enough balls to cut him off before he already had half Europe under his arm?

Each person should be judged also in relation to his ciscumstances and his time. He fought a hard won and he won: His plan kept the british island uninvaded.

I'm in my own personal hell here at this end!! Bored having just watched "Spiderman" and grimacing as "spiderman 2" has just started on the DVD player!!

Mind you give it 4 hours and ill be climbing the walls after i'm onto "Starship Troopers 2" which is a real stinker as well!!!!

Mind you i cant eat anymore or i will explode!! There is a limit to resting and recuperation but its bloody boring to put it mildly

The Germans were not capable of invading Britain.The weather and the most powerful navy in the region put paid to any thought of this ever happening.Not to mention opening a second front against Russia.

The facts remain Winston Churchil was a drunk incompetant who promised things we could never deliver to our allies (IE the Russians) who relied on his promises and then had to suffer the massive losses they incurred due to broken promises.

History isn't so forgiving to the men and women who were left fatherless as the result of an incompetant and that should never be forgotten.

Let's be honest.....if you take a casual browse over the thread themes, you will see that this type of forum encourages flippant one-liners, flirting, and easy-to-read text bites....most people click to another page the moment they see a paragraph which will take longer than 5 seconds to read...

hoi Lago,

could you rephrase that into something shorter please,

too much for me to read it all

I think the media has an awful lot to do with it...and capitalism, of course...but I'm hoping it's a phase and dope will come back.



Just kidding. Really!

You are so right...
I think that is because many people have so much love to give and do not want to waste time in rambling gibberish.

Jack and Jill ran up the hill
To fetch a pail of water...

...you with me so far mate...??....

Listen if you think i'm going to restart the old comedy threads like the "international insult thread" where i had to badger the entire forum into throwing insults your joking!!

Most are just not interested or cant be bothered to join in and will type ha ha to anything or just read along, and that is about as entertaining as blowing hot air up a frogs backside on a summers day.

Just look how some promising threads die fast as people cant be bothered to express their thoughts, maybe because their affraid to say anything in case they upset anyone?

I dont think that the peolpe who have something to say are mostly afraid of upseting someone. I think that they just dont think that what they have to say will be READ and APPRECIATED, so they dont bother.

I do not agree with this line of thinking, but that's what i believe regarding the "why".



oh, and also, Hitlers plan was to invade England and capture London before setting out on opperation Barbarossa. But in order to do that he had to defeat RAF and that's where he failed, for a maltitute of reasons. That was one of Churchils victories when everyone didnt think he could do it.

I hate to point out the following but the whole invasion of Britain was a "faint" to facilitate moving troops to the Russian front.

One of my friends debriefed people after the second world war for British intelligence and a member of my family on the German side worked for German intelligence!!Moreover if the Germans wanted to obliterate the RAF they would have concentrated on the Airfields not bombed the cities.

Military sources indicated that the RAF would have not lasted less than a week due to pilot losses had the Military incompetants in Germany not interfered, but more likely it was a rouse, and thousands of brave pilots died needlessly for nothing on both sides.

The fact remains, Churchil was an idiot and it's a discrace that he is still portrayed as anything other as such these days.Disinformation and national pride is a powerful coctail but it doesn't make it true.

Next time your in the UK have a look at the declassified papers on Churchil (the ones released under the 50 year rule) and you can read the generals notes for yourself.

you know, i'll actually do that i am a big fan of history
