Ali, we don't even belong to our parents. They do have authority until we are of age and on our own. After that, their job is done. Not saying we just blow them off after that, just saying we don't own each other over here. We are what you call "FREE" Do you have any idea what that feels like?

Nope they belong to themselves...


Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

mindfful: ok first of all i dont see what was so offensive

its an expression

like your boyfriend would say 'youre mine'

good grief
and because the internet is available people should get immersed in what other cultures believe and how they relate to things?
is that an appropriate thing to suggest?
so which culture should they get hip to and start assimilating into?

you hate ali we get it

you think you magically know without doubt his deep dark motivations for his posts

why not get over it

and yes you ordered me not to address you in forum

oh well

it just disgusts me that you think its okay to tear people down and degrade them to others

who acts that way? your culture?

i dont want any part of it- its ugly to behave that way



I knew it... I'm a psychic!!!

Olsojente: Oh, and he's never back to reply when he get's confronted...My bet is, we'll get another moronic thread or poll in a minute...


what i dont get is why people just allow you to hurl insults constantly at people

i think those that sidle up and agree with you are just as bad as you are

there is no need for this type of criticism of peoples threads posts or personalities (as you perceive them) in here

i dont know what benefit you receive from it but its distasteful to say the least. you have always made perfectly clear who you like here and who you dont and why-
so why the need to do it EVERY TIME you sign in or see the person?

you dont like ali
you firmly believe he is a bad person and in the stone age and has 'an agenda' rolling on the floor laughing ooooh so sinister he is

so why have you never avoided one of his threads? because you have some heart of gold that you want to warn others? or is he just an easy target to insult?

really are any of us any better than another?

we are all here are we not?doh

my kids are mine
they carry my name
it identifies their family group
as being from me

they live their lives but yes they are my children and i dont think we would want it any other way but thats just one family's story

every family has their own story but that wasnt what the thread was about was it?

it was someone attempting to make a joke and someone else twisting it up (speaking of agendas) and making it a platform to 'expose' the thread posters vicious and wrong nature'

gee that never happens on CSdoh

why not just visit with people you like on here and skip over the rest?

do we really have any right to insult people here? that has become the culture of CS but i think it stinks

OK Ali, let me explain this belong thing....In America, no one belongs to anyone....Everyone has basic human rights, and say just because ur parent had U, they still have to treat U right, or U could be taken away from them....Now my religion teaches that we r all God's children, that he created us, but even God gives us "Free Will" as to whether we want to belong to him....So no one really belongs to anybody....We may be responsible for some folks, but we cannot own them....

Women were once thought to be the property of their man/husband so it still rings of property to us....hug

heres a crazy idea

while we are telling certain cultures to use the internet and 'open their mind' as was so helpfully suggested

why dont we do that too?

then when we interact with people from different cultures we can have more common ground and all be able to accept each other a little?


nuts i know

its always 'them' that should change

Ali, no one belongs to any person. We are our own self and our self worth is what we determine.

I did not own my son he never owned me and as for my ex wife she was always her own person.

No one can ever own another person in any way.

i am pretty sure she wasnt trying to be his friend


and to suggest someone open their mind?? its just rude-

we all have our own culture but seriously i didnt see this as a teaching moment- i thot it was just ali jumping in and starting a thread to visit with some folks

but im sure i am mistaken

have it your way

dont call rude rude or insults insults

"She Belongs To Me"

What makes you think she'll go with you
What makes you think you're better than me
You think you can read her mind
Maybe you're just looking for a good time
Maybe you can give her more
Tell me what you're doing this for
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

You come around looking for kicks
But I know all about your dirty tricks now
You think you took away my dream
Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean
Get out of here, get out of my life
You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

Don't tell me how to love my baby

I dont need you to speak for Ali and my friendship. I think you are waaay more offended than he ever was. And frankly, I do notice that with you M/F. I think YOU are making a mountain out of a molehill where none existed before. A virtual tempest in a tea-pot. Furthermore, if I agree or dissagree thats my perogative, as is my right to express myself in that regard. I have no worries for my friendship with Al, Its based on stronger stuff than this. This was simply something I dissagreed with, and told him so...If Im not worried, and hes not worried, I really have to ask why you are??? dunno

Hi Ali...


Loosely speaking...

I belong to me... My kids belong to me... yep.. I am still claiming them as mine.. ( but yeah... they really belong to themselves.) but this is loosely speaking hey...

My bf belongs to me on that level of relationship..but he is his own person... and in truth can and does what he likes... and if I had an animal... it would belong to me...

but ... definately, my garden belongs to me.. even tho the weeds think it belongs to them... very mad and my house belongs to me... I have the title... ( a liability)very mad

but my sewing machine belongs to me... exclusively... rolling on the floor laughing I will not share it...
grin

so loosely speaking... we all belong somewhere and to someone, whether as friends or more ... in their hearts.. there is a bit of space that is allocated...

I think the word "belong" can have a different context.
When people love each other they can choose to belong to each other, but it does not mean that they "possess" each other. We belong to our children and they to us but we do not "possess" them.

Well said sunnydaze, the original question was using the verb 'belong' in order to classify which country the girl in the picture was from. This is a correct usage of the word. As for families yes it is also the correct usage when describing a family group, it only becomes a possessive verb if we describe property.
