Too many things, but here's one that came across my fb page that I tend to agree with on many levels:
Paraphrased: What a sad state of affairs when the brightest young people in this country waste their time trying to figure out how to make people click on ad buttons.
No, I don't think I'm "overfiltering". I said in my profile that I am only here for the forums. So all private mail is filtered out. That is fair, in my opinion.
I think filters are great. The person who writes knows instantly that he/she isn't what the other person is looking for. It eliminates awkwardness, excuses and misunderstandings.
Checking the email filter is easy. There's a button on the bottom right of every profile with contact requirements. So there should be no surprises. You find out before you write whether you're filtered out.
I think a lot of guys confuse "nice" with socially awkward/inept. Nice guys don't finish last. Socially awkward guys and guys who let themselves go finish last. Same is true for women.
When I was a teenager, the guy would usually ask: "do you want to go with me" and then you'd be boyfriend 'n girlfriend.
In my twenties, you were in a relationship at the point when you decided to become intimate.
Now, unless someone asks me straight out, I consider everything to be: "Not a relationship".
Online? That's a virtual relationship which exists only in one's own head. (You don't know the reality of the person on the other end - and that's a fact). Things don't become real until you meet in person. If virtual relationships were real, then why do people run off when they meet in person? (i.e. oh there was no chemistry, oh she/he didn't look like they did on cam, bla bla bla).
You know in Islam, men have to support the wives. They have to go to work to provide. Not so in the west. If I were a man, I'd come to the west, marry a woman and send her to work and threaten that I get to have a second one if she doesn't fall in line ... and don't think there aren't guys who do that.
You know, bad things happen to everybody. The difference how you come out at the end depends on how you deal with the situation. Instead of letting things stress you out, think about possible solutions for the problem. Maybe there are no "nice" solutions and if there are not, then you choose the solution that is best in your situation.
I would not recommend to take medication. That is a last resort when nothing else works.
I'm not going to read all of this. The first sentence already says it all. If you don't know that the new world order started with Reagan (who even announced it as such), then the rest is just more or less crap.
King Bush gave this country the coup de gras and Obama is just dividing up the carcass by continuing the plan that was started decades ago.
you know I still, to this day, go for that ripped lean body look. (Which means I will be a lonely lady for the rest of my life ).
I like Jackie Chan and Jet Li but I could never warm up to chuck Norris or Steven Seagal who, strangely enough, became more japanese than the Japanese themselves.
There are three videos at this link where Noam Chomsky talks about the U.S. and Israel. (One is at the top of the page and the other two at the bottom) I think you should listen and realize that not everyone in the US supports what Israel is doing. This country is divided, but the politicians do what benefits big business.
