RE: any event planed for2015

I hope this means a Connecting Singles get-together.... it is rather cryptic and given the world in which we live in.....

RE: Game Of Thrones

It is simply a wonderful televised story! Who would have guessed they would have killed off Ned Stark (except someone who has read the books).....

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

Also I forgot to say, I would not give advice to your daughter, I would give advice to you because your daughter is not looking for advice.

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

Yeah, well usually there is no womb err room to do that, but I would recommend it, when men give birth!

ouch!

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

They sure can wreak havoc in the family, right?

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

This is an excerpt from a website not my words.... not that I haven't lied in my life - but I do try to speak the truth -

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

If you care about the person, remind them often that they don't have to pretend to be perfect. Point out a few of your own awesome screw ups and failures in life.
Most successful people know how to make their lies work throughout their lives. Every day they begin with a new lie and eventually their lies kill their conscience and life becomes a dream.
Try not to completely ignore or 'unfriend' a chronic liar, their problem is just liked any other, and it can become very lonely not having any friends, and even lead to anxiety, and depression.

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

Understand that you’ll never get a consistent story when you talk with a pathological liar.
Keep in mind that pathological liars typically exaggerate everything they tell you so take their stories with a grain of salt.
An individual who lies habitually will generally lose the ability to differentiate lies from reality. He or she will believe the lies to be the truth - making confronting a pathological liar on their lies nearly impossible.
"Mythomaniac", "compulsive liar", "habitual liar" or "chronic liar" are other names used for a pathological liar.
Someone who consistently lies to you is a form of disrespect––not someone you want to trust or consider to be a true friend.
As a former pathological liar, it becomes very difficult to control. Most responses are quick and reflexive, although mostly fabricated. Even compulsive liars have tells that give the lie away, get your friends to ask the liar a number of test questions to discern their tell. Then call the liar out every time he's caught in a lie. Eventually the liar may start calling out his own lies right after he tells them. Remember these people generally have low self esteem, so if they're caught in a lie a few times then it will deter them from lying.

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

People lie:

Because they behave badly but want to still 'look good' - as with the politician who has an affair or cheats on his expense account, then lies in an attempt to cover it up (Westminster, anyone?).
To genuinely save someone else's feelings.
To control other people. People may lie about how much power/status they have and then threaten people with that fictitious power and influence.
For self-aggrandizement in order to make themselves appear wonderful, especially gifted, more interesting, or exciting - either through a sense of inadequacy or overly high self-esteem.
Through sheer force of habit - "Lying is as easy as breathing for me!"

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

Trust your first impression here. It is a warning sign, if he lies all the time. In my opinion that is a problem. It is often linked to a person who will wreak havoc in a persons' life.

Look up information on Compulsive Lying Disorder is frequently confused with pathological lying, but it’s important to recognize the difference between the two. Compulsive liars engage in dishonesty because it is their automatic response to questions and situations, while pathological liars do so in order to manipulate other people and achieve their goals with complete disregard for the feelings of others. However, both compulsive and pathological lying is associated with antisocial personality disorder, more commonly known as “psychopathic behavior”.

City of Angles is one of my favorite movies.

RE: Cats

Post 571 - but I respect your right to express it.

RE: DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL?

where's the poll choice for I don't know?


My father had one, but I don't know if everyone does?

RE: Je suis Charlie

If only the explanation for the violent tendency of human kind were so simple to explain.

It did not work for India.....disarmament worked, peaceful negotiations worked.

RE: What advice would YOU give my daughter?

You don't have do many choices in your poll for helping your daughter to see the "truth" in his character. The lying is an important flaw to expose to the proper light.

I am not so sure you see the explanation for the lying - the men as competition and the women as flirts.

Listening and keeping a close relationship with your daughter is key, I think. If he is one who will try to isolate your daughter, then she will slowly move away from your support. If you are very critical of him, she will defend him and move away from your advice.

Keep the loving relationship with her and figure out ways to open her eyes to his behavior in a way that does not make her defend his behavior, or excuse his behavior.

It is a tough balancing act to be able to listen to her without offering an opinion.

RE: Trailer Park Etiquette

It is only good manners to teach your neighborhood children to hot wire cars.

The farmer on the land next to the trailer park intends for you to steal his chicken's eggs, that's why he has so many.

It is not ok to take liberties with mr farmer's wife, unless it is to distract her, while your wife steals the eggs.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

Do you think this way now, after all the comments and opposing response from the CS community?

RE: Cindy so tired of the games

I often felt like I wanted go get off the merrygo-round of life. Life is hard, and people are tricky to figure out.

When you cannot change the fakes and players, you can change or remain true, genuine and serious in your own intent.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

A religious world versus a secular world

except from the Progression magazine
James Madison and Gouverneur Morris wrote the American Constitution in 1787. There had never before been such a document. They could have put anything they wanted into it. They chose not to use the words “god”, “Christ”, “Christian”, or “Jesus” anywhere in it. They chose not to require an official religion. In fact, they forbid the government to require a religious test of any person who holds public office. Every one of the 13 original states accepted the new Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson himself created the phrase in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association:
… Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State, therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.”

The First Amendment creates the separation of church and state, just as the first three articles of the Constitution create the three equal branches of our government. The federal government recognizes this separation in many ways to this day. Churches are exempt from income taxes and do not have to file formal requests for tax exempt status like other nonprofit organizations.


.... thus this is the difference between EAST and WEST thinking....

RE: Charlie Hebdo

and you say that like these institutions aren't like any other open source to add, correct, or post to this website. Who would you trust to post into a particular definition or information source, a banker who received a large fine and was bailed out by the American taxpayers, a journalist who was caught writing news stories that never happened, a government employee with an agenda, or a government employee who is responsible to ensure accurate information is out there?

As much as it the responsibility of the writer, it is also the responsibility of the reader to think about the truth and veracity of the material content and source of the information.
