It has SFA to do with her beliefs, it has to do with telling others how to behave or what to post. Worse yet is side stepping when asked, and blaming someone else's "poor command" of the language as her reasoning. It's cowardly, and despicable.
It's ok, I've been the "bad guy" before, and no doubt I will be again, no skin off my nose. I'll stand up for what I believe in. I don't think the Cap'n needs me to defend him, but some of the new members might not feel comfortable in saying anything more when they're chastised.
So it has nothing to do with proper English as to the matter of respect, it's just a matter of whether you think something fictitious should be respected. As I originally thought, just telling people how they should behave, and what to say, as per usual.
If you want to play mother hen, get some eggs out of your fridge and sit on the couch and brood.
If you don't care about the other person in the first place, maybe you shouldn't entertain such an idea at all, and vice versa. That's just too cold for comfort, and could lead to someone getting hurt.
However, if you do actually like and respect each other as people, and do care about each others feeling, then you never know 'til you try.
Every relationship should start out as straight forward and honest, and I don't see any of them being no strings attached. No eternal commitment doesn't mean there are no feelings, or that one or both might want more than it started out as.
Try it, never know, it might be the best relationship you ever had.
I also don't see it as any god or religion having laid out rules on how we should live. Some may believe that, but civilisation and morality have been around long before the god of Abraham or Jesus were invented. So were different types of relationships that you may not see as being the norm.
Many people have fought and died for us to have the freedom to have and make choices. It's not a choice for me to not believe in a god, or follow a religion, I simply don't. So why would I want to live my life according to someone else's beliefs? Why should anyone? Do you follow the way(s) of Islam?
I don't see it that way, and no, no rose coloured glasses either.
I agree, it does boil down to choice, and having the freedom to make those choices, without interference from anyone or anything. I do see religion attempting to curtail the freedom to make choices, and occasionally society as well. That is becoming less of an issue though, every day people discover that they don't need the approval or blessings from anyone to live life the way they want. We live in secular countries, and maybe, just maybe some day even the religious countries like Iran will enjoy the same freedoms we do. I can't see us going backwards anytime soon, too much has been fought for to let it all go now.
Lots of things were considered taboo throughout history, but aren't anymore. The world has evolved, and these supposed rules really don't apply in general anymore. Some day people will realise that, and the world will be a better place for it.
Problem with that is, they might have to realise their own faults and maybe deal with them. Much easier to point fingers at others and meddle in their affairs.
The quote said "WE'LL SEE HOW THIS ONE GOES", meaning as in the thread, "say anything part 28.75".
So, seeing as this thread has gone poorly, this far, I can deduce that something has gone wrong. It's either the mod's are wrong in their handling of "situations", or I was wrong in posting this thread after a series of others being deleted, or that you're just not able to read Morse code properly.
Funny thing is, pretty much anything you could imagine has been the "norm" at one point in time throughout the history of mankind. There is nothing "new" in regards to relationships, it's just a matter of who was dictating the "norm" in the day.
I try to (part in red)....the rest makes no sense.
It should be, but with the number of judgemental people on the planet, as well as the forums, I suspect many aren't living their lives as they wish.
That statement doesn't only apply to people wanting open relationships, but anything that is out of the "norm".
It's sad that so many aren't living the life they want, due to external influences, and societal pressure. People should be more supportive of any manner of a loving and beneficial relationship that consenting adults may want to have.
Tried to write a few ladies to invite them to join the forums, but auto-blocked again. Likely due to hair colour or shoe size, but it could be because of my location or age too.
The site admin. really effed up when they got rid of the filter box, how is anyone supposed to connect with others when one can't even write them? I can understand blocking Africa or the US, but not Canada.
