I don't believe is judging or forming assessments or whatever based on birth order....in fact it offends me....i am the youngest and therefore should be the 'baby' when in fact am the strongest, toughest, most independent of any of them...so this kind of thing really has and does piss me off....sorry scottish lass, but that is my feeling...

No need to apoligize for stating your feelings Portia. I just saw this while "surfing" & thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.------ This thread is Archived ------

X5323601: Take a pill
you know i've had problems with you before being rude...i don't say rude things to people just to be rude and insult them and i would prefer it you didn't do that to me...just putting people down for no good reason may be your cup of tea...but don't do it to peoplewho don't do it to you or to others...------ This thread is Archived ------

Now I know why you freaked when I called you 'shorty'. If you read just a little further and before actually, I gace you a great compliment. . You are supposed to have fun here. It's not you dropping ground. If anyone dislikes my words then whoops, nope.

I believe this particular theory is total BS and it can hurt and limit peoples' perceptions of others andeven of themselves.......i respect you SL and wouldn't just lash out and say i think your thread is BS....but this idea really burns me ...------ This thread is Archived ------

insulting people is not having fun....your sense humor may be a little adolescent ..... flowering someone just to tell them they are short? someone you don't know and have to relationship with and you think that's clever and funny?------ This thread is Archived ------

That's ok, I know it's the topic that upsets you & not me (at least I hope that is the case).------ This thread is Archived ------
i joke here a lot and have a lot of fun. INSULTING PEOPLE AND THEIR IDEAS FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN TO BE INSULTING IS NOT HAVING FUN....ADULTS DON'T DO THAT....CHILDREN AND ALDOLESCENTS DO THAT....MY SENSE OF HUMOR HAS MUTURED BEYOND THAT OF A TEENAGER...
I EXPRESS AN OPINION AND YOU TELL ME TO TAKE A PILL....HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE PROMOTING PEOPLE FREELY EXPRESSING THEMSELVES ON THE FORUMS?

Anyway Lass. I agree with the Younger and Middle on this one when it comes to me and my siblings. However it doesn't add up when it comes to my older brother.
