Hmm... could be that many people associate the feeling of being rejected (by one person) with an overall sense of failure or ineptitude. That is a big part of why so many people have trouble dealing with "no"... they feel as though "If I am not good enough for this person I must not be good enough for anyone". I've visited that place myself a few times, though I don't typically pester the person who rejected me.
I do this often, myself; I lose people in the middle of a long rant. Before I am able to give my opinion on the matter I need some clarification! The reference to the seagull seemed to lead into a discussion about the battle with/against human desires (and you threw alcohol into the mix) but I don't see who the sardine is in this situation (since you said we, like the seagull, were probably just hungry). And since you closed your rant up with the sardine.. I'm left high and dry wondering who the sardine is.
With the population in India... I can actually see how too many plastic bags can cause a problem. On the other hand? Plastic bags cannot be more harmful than all the other non-biodegradable waste we humans produce en masse. That being said, there is no harm in trying to do your part; just don't try to make those who still use plastic bags into the "bad guys".
Bah. Summer is overrated. I have not had "summer vacation" since High School. so what is to look forward to other than sweating like a pig? I hear Autumn is rather enjoyable, don't worry (I've seen this "Autumn" for myself).
Forget that... be a hopeless romantic to the bitter end! Soak up the sensations of love and passion with reckless abandon! Sure, when you live this way you leave yourself open to be hurt more... but what is the purpose in living if you don't love to the fullest? You can practically live off the wonderful feelings that come with knowing you have found the right one for you. Sparks, butterflies, even making eye contact for well over 3 seconds at a time (ok, that one is just me. I periodically break eye contact with people I'm speaking to unless its someone I really trust).
If a man wants to be more than your friend, but you don't want that, he will have a hard time being friends with you because he is in an uncomfortable situation (he will often think about how unhappy it makes him to only be your friend). And if it is the other way around? If the guy who didn't want to be "more than friends" with you doesn't stick around to be your friend... he is worried that you'll be the one always wondering what it would be like to be with him. Crazy world, eh?
I don't mean to put you down.. but as a Christian you should realize your struggle is a spiritual one. The people who make a lifestyle out of trying to destroy Christianity can't be won over with words (at least not in a normal, rational, decent way). If God tells you that one of them can be brought around to the truth... then it will happen. Till then? It is much better not to let what they try to do upset you. You're only fueling their fire.
Yeah, the guy is right. CS is a globally scaled culture cross-section. I'm also glad you're enjoying the use of this site and the company of our little hodgepodge community. I hate to play Devil's Advocate... but do you think you will get what you are looking for from this site? I , for one, know the reason I'm still here has nothing to do with the reason I joined.
Thank you kindly. Always good to stay humble, though. I don't Blog as much as I do because I'm full of myself (and/or my ideas); I Blog alot because I don't run my mouth in person.
I can see where you are coming from. Rest assured.. I love to talk, debate, and hear peoples' opinions. I really don't like to fight. Thank you for expressing your opinions.
RE: First one
Eh, you'll get more ideas on what to write about in time. Welcome to CS, anyhow.
