youre a psychologist? and your answer is dont be negative it doesnt help? priceless! the nature of depression- chemical depression not situational depression, which yes most will face for a period in their lifetime-is that it hinders ones ability to 'not be negative'
no trish what i know is that i do not know the intentions of others and regardless what their intentions am i not responsible for my own response?
we do not have some obligation to accuse or expose people and frankly its none of my business if they are devoted to WHATEVER or if they are devoted to winding people up
why do i care if they want to believe or wind up non believers
there is no context for discrimination when we dont own the house where the party is taking place
who are we to say how many quotes of any type are in any thread on any topic?? seriously its rationalizing and justifying prejudice thats not in your jurisdiction to regulate
enjoy people
i am not letting this bring me down
im out
already getting the hate mail streaming in
just for being thye voice of reason
sorry my capacity to compartmentalize and justify my own arrogance is waning
and not a moment too soon
i seriously feel less peaceful when i am trying to regulate others' behavior
im not trying to do that here-just making some suggestions and posturing some what i hoped might be provocative thots
but what about those who like to chat to each other in these threads?
if someone likes cheese why would it cause acrimony? if it does wouldnt that be seen as intolerance?
if folks dont like to hear about it they should stay out of the threads and if they are really passionate about not hearing the issue here they should go to admin since they make the categories
no kidding i am surprised to see the justifications by realllly sensible people here on one subject
if someone was preaching on the street would you aggressively answer and oppose them if you were just walking by on your way to the shops? for an hour?
would you really spend your valuable time that way?
i mean as as been said
its a singles and mingle site- why spend valuable time shouting someone down?
why not walk on?
i mean if someone starts a thread why comment on how they respond to postings?
what is wioth the accusations of a coordinated effort to push anything?? its a religion category
like minds meet here regardless their interests
thats likely why the site includes many thread options- for folks to socialize on topics they have interest in
why not avoid them? just saying
anyone on this site that has an interest to share and discuss whethere it be travel, music religion, politics- whatever who's business is it? wouldnt people just gravitate toward their interests?
how do we justify trying to chase these people off but not the other interests that are here?
frankly we cant
no one is coordinating or pushing anything
they didnt solicit in mail they dont go where others are and begin posting such
so seriously its the disparagers problem, not that of any Op of any topic
i suppose there is this category for those that like to share in this manner on a singles site
ive never understood why non believers seem absiolutely compelled to come into 'bible' threads at all...seems folks would go into rooms wherein the party interests them rather than rooms where there is a movie playing they have no passion for
her daughter found her - she is pretty peaceful about it at the moment. she was sober last i saw her a few years ago- sometimes you get used up early tho from the 'lifestyle'
i watched numbers faithfully when it started and criminal minds too i stopped watching when mandy patinkin left the show (because i have been in love with him for almost 40 years)
i like scrubs and always watch anything written or directed by zach braff
those others i am unaware of but yeah- even familiar episodes can be a comfort somehow so thanks goodness for ipods
