RE: Attacks on farmers in SA

So, the West should offer amnesty to white people experiencing danger, but not brown people, cossack cat?

RE: Attacks on farmers in SA

Instincthis - you find the thought of hungry, nay, starving people funny?

RE: Attacks on farmers in SA

I think she's angry with you, Aries.

Just hintin'.

RE: Omnivores

I buy a small tub of saffron containing maybe a teaspoonful for £3. 50 from a Middle Eastern mini market. I get maybe 10 meals out of that because you only need a pinch of fronds for each meal.

It's also very nice with palm hearts, chilli and finely sliced garlic, or in red lentil soup with cumin, garlic and onions.

RE: Coming or Going

Unless her feet are on backwards and her elbows bend the wrong way, they're going.

Having said that, for a split second I thought they were walking towards the camera. I wonder if that's because we expect photos to be taken front facing, or there's something else going on - maybe our reptilian brains are geared towards the potential danger of approach, or something like an arrogance that we would be approached, rather than left. dunno

RE: Are men allowed cry without being rediculed by other's

The sort of opposite is true for women: studies have shown that the more oppressed women are in a society, the more likely emotions like anger are expressed by crying.

The last thing you want a group of oppressed people to do is get angry as they are more likely to rebel.

The 'boys don't cry' rule has been said to have evolved in fairly recent climates of world war. The last thing you want soldiers to do is empathise with other people.

In situations where there are 'feeling rules' we have to do a lot of 'emotional work' to suppress our true feelings and express ourselves in a way in which our societies deem appropriate. As mentioned above by Lulu, this leads to physical ailments. As well as that, it leads to a disconnect with our emotions, emotional issues remain unresolved and we end up mental health issues, or inhibited personal development.

It took me a long time to realise my tears were very often an expression of being really, really pissed off. Once I worked it out and I became more in touch with my anger, it became a lot easier just to say, 'I'm feeling pissed off...', or 'I'm so angry...'

RE: Do you have EGO???

As I understand it, ego is a part of one Freudian theoretical model.

Somebody else's theoretical model, or part thereof, cannot break relationships, nor is it a disease. It"s part of a theoretical model.

Whilst theories and models may be useful frameworks in many ways, I do not have part of a theoretical model in my possession, nor inside of me.

I think it's quite important to remember that theoretical constructs and people, or parts thereof, are not the same thing.

Forget that, and everything goes horribly Pete Tong.

RE: A open heart

No, thankfully it's all intact, inside and doing what it's supposed to.

I should hate to get blood all over the carpet.

RE: I have this 100%---- Empathy

Ah, I get you, Pedro. wave

RE: I have this 100%---- Empathy

Can any of us have 100% empathy with the feelings of others, given we will always interpret from our own value framework?

RE: Do you have EGO???

I have a suitcase full of 1960's train set LEGO.

Does that count?

RE: Tarot card reading

It's a tool of self exploration.

You (the person who has their cards read) interpret from your own value framework.

It's much like a talking therapy, like having the private space with a psychiatrist, to explore your own mind and position in life.

RE: Which kind of Kiss do you like??

Sensual, gentle, subtle kiss...

RE: Name three things that you are grateful for today

Ignoring KB's minxy bait, I have four beautiful grandchildren. I defy anyone to say that's one too many. laugh

RE: I've lost track of time.....

Just as long as you haven't lost Track of Newfoundland.

The forums would be a lot less colourful without him.

RE: Name three things that you are grateful for today

May I be greedy and have another three?

Kaybee, Jono and Molly.

As my mother would say, ohne worte, no words necessary. laugh

RE: How is it working out for you?....

It's easier for women...?

Okay, whatever, Arthur. laugh

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

If desirability is based on contact popularity, how did the study take into account factors such as amount of time spent on line, style of profile pic, or any of the site's profile promotion techniques?

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

Yup, they've been the same face to face as online. dunno

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

I kinda think if a cleaner leaves the toilet immaculate, that's of more value to me than a manager who performs like a muppet.

It's not status which is of value, but how well you do your job.

(Unless the fella who polishes the glass on the revolving doors is so much of a perfectionist, I can't see the exit and keep splatting like a fly in the wrong place in front of everyone.)

So it is with relationships. Its how suited people are on many different levels, not the status on one.

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

Ah, the joys of hierarchical societies, KB, where we value status above compatibility.

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

It's not that I'm short, because I'm very nearly average height for a women, but yes, I have a mean upper cut. laugh

RE: Are you punching above your weight?

I'm a frock size over my fighting weight. Does that count?

RE: lists of demands!!!

I only have one demand. I'm only interested in someone if they think the word 'opposed' is written as 'a pose'.

They mean very different things and I like the idea of senseless miscommunication in a relationship. It leaves me with an intelligent look on my face which I think is probably very attractive. confused

RE: Man receive a face transplant the first one in Canada, sorry no pictures

I once saw a documentary about face, or partial face transplants.

Apparently, because the cadaver donor and recipient have to be genetically similar to avoid tissue rejection, the facial features are often quite similar.

It seems that's a rather neat psychological bonus for recipients.
