I know Amity and I respect the fact that your getting yourself together. Places like this are not healthy environments to do that when some people have such nasty personalities.
Just because people are posting about one person dying do you really believe that it must be the most upsetting news item that is on there minds? I find that quite insulting.
I think that so many people make poor lifestyle choices or very poor choices with partners while still young. Most of us just happen to get ourselves out of the mess but some simply are not strong enough too. Who knows,if she had of pulled herself out of it she may have became a very respected figure in years to come? Many former drug addicts have gone on to live respectful lives.
There but for the grace of fate go I. I never lived her life and many of us get into things when young that we regret but we are capable of dragging our arses out of. I find it sad that she was so young and had all of the resources available to her yet she still couldn't quit.
I am so with you there Ccindy. I have heard of one person messaging others to manipulate them into doing their bidding for them as well as to try and get them to ignore posters that they do not like. It is very school yard behavior and suggests too much emotional involvement in online life. It also diminishes their credibility of being taken seriously in the forums.
I had a relationship with someone from Norway some years ago. Due to commitments its was easier for her to travel to me each time. I would never consider inviting someone over and expect her to pay for it.It takes a lot more for a person to do the leg work that it costs in money. I guess that I am just a mix of old fashioned and modern values?
Real happiness is being content with yourself and your life as it is. Trying to find someone to make you happy is like trying to put a sticking plaster over a deep cut.
Unless you are tied in by being a carer or someone to fund you then why not be proactive and confident enough to find a life? Some people have the give me attitude so much that they are bewildered when things are no longer automatically available to them no more. Make the most of those around you and make yourself part of it.
Cheers Vinney. God knows how I muddled the link up?
I agree with you too. What we see being revealed at the moment is not a patch on what we know nothing about in world politics,commerce, Drugs,arms dealing,people trafficking amongst other things. This issue only became a big enough issue after it broke so many years ago because of the Mini Dowler phone tapping revelation enraged the public! The fact that both the Conservatives and Labour governments where and still are in bed with the press and Police adds to my conviction that it does not matter a great deal what party is in power in our Country because all strings are pulled by bodies who are still in place no matter who happens to win an election.
Never. I like to believe that I live and learn so it stands to reason that the less time I spend dating the wrong one for me the more available I am when the chance comes with the right one. Even if it is just for now!
Sean Hoarse was the first journalist to allege that Andy Coulson new of hacking of phones. He has been found dead,but his death is not being treated as suspicious. Do you think that this is a coincidence or does it have parallels with the suspicious death of Dr David Kelly? How much can we trust those in power?
She proves to me that we can have differences and fall outs but no one is the same. If we reject a person simply for being them then we do not learn much.
I agree with you that most will give an honest opinion on a topic. But many are swayed by their agenda. This is a dating site and people will prioritize what is most important to them,or even just blindly follow who their interests lay with. It is a reflection of life in general I think.
You are so right. Fitting in and being a sheeple seems to be the default position of many people who want to fit in to an online community. For me it defeats the object of what an online forum is for= To put a stamp on yourself as an individual. Even those that claim to be an individual ruin that claim by their manipulation of others.
Be too honest and you are in danger of being called a troll,ignored by the regulars who listen to private messages that berate a poster and suggest that you ignore that posters posts regardless etc etc etc. People do go to them lengths in here and people listen purely to fit in! Why invest so much emotion in online? It is so sad!
As far as communicating thoughts are concerned typing alone can leaves a lot to interpretation. No more that 20% of a person can be gleaned without meeting them even after extensive communication in other ways it has been claimed. I have no idea what the figures are on a friends only basis? My guess is that over time the figures would have a high success rate because like are attracted to like no matter where you meet.
