RE: Furnace banging

Is it gas or electric? and
what part of the house is it located in?

RE: Cheney's indictment in south Texas moves forward

Executive privilege.....
A judge at this level has no real voice or power, so it is nothing but glory seeking.

RE: Europe in recession, US in pain as world leaders meet

The economy is like a ladder.. once you get to the top.. you can't go any further, eventually you must come down.

We have been living a fake inflated economy.. now it is balancing time.
just normal rythem.

RE: Friends Fight

Not only no but "HELL NO!!"

been there , done that.. my buddy was mouthing off so badly and started the fight for no reason. he deserved to get his butt kicked...

I'm not going to get into a fight because anyone is acting an idiot!

for a good reason I would step in, try to break it up.
if I get hit I will defend myself.

RE: Euphemistic Hatred

I second what Ken said!! well put

I also enjoy reading your threads Barren. even though I don't post a lot in them.
But I have reported the abusers many times and will continue to do so.

Is such a shame that some have nothing better to do than come into certain threads just to fight and mouth off.

Is a big place and plenty of room for others to post wherever and whatever they want without their search and destroy missions.

Just too difficult to understand I guess that they DON'T have to read all threads.. don't like this topic.. go find one that you do.

So tough I guess.
No one is forcing them to read the thread. nothing being forced down their throats as they are trying to do to others.

RE: its time to SAY SOMETHING!!

I can multi task also... I put a bedside camode at the computer.
now I can Cr** while reading all of the cr** !
Wont say what else I can do at the same time I am looking at profiles

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

It came from everybody.. not from me, is what rex asked for.

RE: The Bible, just PARTof why I believe…

No CS censorship.... rule #3.Let's keep the threads positive. If you don't like what someone is saying in a thread, stay out of the thread.

there are hundreds of other threads that you are more than welcome to visit, why stay here just to constantly attack it?
Or better yet..
Why do you attack all religious threads that come up.
Is that your only purpose for being here?

RE: The Bible, just PARTof why I believe…

People... I rarely post in these Religious threads but I do read them,
and I don't know about you , but I get so sick of reading all of these attacks.. page after page after page....

if you get sick of them also.. PLEASE.. click the report button on the offending post and have this guy removed!

RE: Can we can handle the truth ?

The first time, I was to meet her, knew what she was driving.. saw her sitting there in her car.. she was at least 10 years older then me and older than stated, and looked like I would picture a 30 year trucker, rode hard and put away wet... and not by me I put on sun glasses and cap.. walked by her car to get a closer look.. just to be sure, OH HELL NO!!!!!! Got back in my car and left.

second one was the long drive,
first day she didn't show up at all, second day showed up almost an hour late, extremely hung over (but not a drinker-LOL), her picture in profile was a gal 5'11" tall and around 155-70 pounds, very nice looking.
but in reality.. she was well over 350 pounds. and not much conversation because for one.. I was mad that she had lied and two..she could tell that I was mad. also because she felt guilty.
We had lunch and I left... QUICK!!!

actually, instead of a buffet... I should have taken her to a really dark restraunt !!

I just will not do lies!!!
I am honest and expect the same.

RE: So What's The Beef !!!

What is the question??????

RE: Can we can handle the truth ?

Have had that happen twice....just to find out in person that almost every word they said were lies.
Just had to kick myself for believing the bull***t.

One, I even made a 1,700 mile round trip to meet.

Just ruined my trust in people online.

Is why I now say local only on my profile.

RE: Obama tells CBS Priorities

darn Republicans!!!

RE: Obama tells CBS Priorities

Kind of funny, say how long this was and wasn't going to read it all and comment.. so I skipped to just the last sentence... then I had to go back and read it all..LOL



Nice to finally have a President with brains.. and the drive to back it up.
We will see, If he does as hes says. things will turn around for us.
But I hope he looks further into why we have troops in so many other countries and bring a hell of a lot more home as well!!!!

Thank God no more of The Bush idea that we can do anything we want to and treat prisoners/ combatants wrong.. no reason for torture!!!

I think this is number 1 to correct our economy...
STOP SPENDING TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS TO FIGHT EVERYBODY ELSE'S WARS!
PUT THAT MONEY BACK INTO OUR ECONOMY

RE: Can we can handle the truth ?

Nope.. no need.
If anyone can't accept me for what I am.. who needs them... their loss.

But then again, from just writing.. one never really knows someone.

this says who and what I am.. but there is no way to show anyone in writing just how one really acts and responds in the real world.

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

Here ya go.. a list from the previous pages.... minus repeats and bickering...

Just not making friends the way they wanted...or finding that it was too addictive and disrupted their lives, so work or school was sufferig.

Everyone on here's judgemental.


lack of engagement, feeling like an outsider, not what they were expecting, too much drama/bickering, no sense of humor, got addicted and had to leave for their own sanity, etc....


there are some that go to every thread posting, regardless of the topic or if they know nothing at all about the topic, and usually not to learn anything.. but just to battle.

and in most cases, it is the ones that claim to be tolerant that are the least tolerant.-Pretty much saying that they are entitled to opinions.. but no one else is,-the ones that will get stuck on one topic and decide to attack it every time it comes up. -

spreading rumors that aren't true behind people's back while pretending to like them and be a victim on the forums very offensive.

People can't / wont stay on topic in a thresd..hijack them.

Meeting someone,- so no longer need to be here.

lose interest if it's the same set of boring people posting same boring answers in the same boring threads and having the same boring conversations day in/day out--Plus, I don't have much spare time these days so that also makes me lose interest as I feel guilty for being here when I could be doing something worthy.

the people who stick their head into every post with a fickle comment and then start a silly conversation that has nothing to do with the OP.

there are times that I get frustrated because a good topic of discussion will come up and it will turn into silly one liners or personal conversations.

Trouble makers and the 2 faced dishonest people make 2 or more profiles/user names just to fight or disguise who they are...
So it becomes very hard to know who is real and who isnt...

lose interest cos of the things people say at lengths and how and what they expect etc but have seen them make the right opposite statement or behave differently in other threads.

being afraid to post because someone might pop up out of the blue and for absolutely no reason... ATTACK you.

Could you imagine if people actually spoke like this to each other in the real world??????
There would be a lot of bloody bodies laying all over.. I can almost hear the gun shots and bats thumping.

lose interest in the forums when I have to go back and read 14 gazillion pages just to find out why everybody's in such a stink.

I always think if its something serious that affects or has affected people in real life, it should be discussed with due sensitivity. Attacking wont solve any purpose.

And when wrong... be willing to say so and apologize.
but on the other hand... BE MATURE enough to accept an apology.
Takes adults to do both.

RE: Has anyone actually dated anyone from cs?

And you promised that you wouldnt tell

But I don't think any guy here could go longer than that 32 hours we had

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

VERY NICE SHIP!!!

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

I think fighting caused by too many pictures of guys with no shirts on!!

To keep the men from fighting.. we need many more pictures of Women without shirts on!!
The men would be too busy to type enough to fight!!!

one of the biggest helps would be to ping all members.
Delete every account of members with multiple profiles....and block their IP permanently !

second.. enforce all rules here equally for everyone.
I really don't understand why some topics can be bashed every time they come up.. but bashing many other topics is not tolerated.
example.. ok to bash America and any form of religion....
but don't dare bash someone for being gay or if is someone married wanting to cheat??

solution..... threads started just to start a fight should be removed, anyone who goes into a thread just to start a battle should be removed.

It is so sad that a babysitter is needed for a room of adults.

back soon.. got to go change my diaper

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

Oh my gosh... that last line looks so bad when quoted... without the Emoticons in place!!!

RE: The Bible, just PARTof why I believe…

I know silly thing!
Just having some fun, but honestly, I did try coke once.... The carbonation
and the sugar burned so bad that I never tried it again

Sorry, back to the topic.

Is it any wonder I don't hookup with anyone online???

We Just need a heck of a lot more and

RE: The Bible, just PARTof why I believe…

Heck no... I don't do drugs of any kind

It was sarcasm.

Morals and acting / doing what we know is right is just beyond what people are able to do these days.

Even when doing wrong.. everyone seems to be able to convince themselves that it is right and good, If the rest of the world is doing it... it has to be right.

I just can't understand knowingly making life any harder than it already is.

No wonder it is a prozac nation!!!

Most people just can't face reality,
Make their lives so hard then wonder why they can't cope with it- without heavy medication!!

RE: i think i'm missing something . need some advice .

OMG!!!

I have just the opposite affect on them.. start writing, next thing calling.then I can't get them to stop!!!!!!!!!!

I attract the crazies and the really great ones run!

Hang in there, you will eventually find the one just crazy enough for you!

RE: The Bible, just PARTof why I believe…

You ask so much of people

Don't lie, cheat, steal, screw around, murder, and so on!!!

Makes life so simple.
Morals is just way to much to ask of anyone

RE: Why do men run from a single parent?

Sorry so blunt,
I am not good at sugar coating.

Funny thing is.. many of the same women that ran when I had my young son at home... wanted to date me after My son grew up and moved out

Just ain't happening

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

It might be a good thing that we no longer live for 300 years as in Bible days!!!!!!

we do enough damage in 90 years.

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

This is another GREAT example of what ruins the forums for many.
being afraid to post because someone might pop up out of the blue and for absolutely no reason... ATTACK you.

Not one word was said to you, and you came in just to attack someone for something that was said 8 pages ago,,

Please give it a rest.

RE: Why do men run from a single parent?

Because an Instant family... especially for a guy that don't already have kids.. is on hell of a huge leap. stop and look at it from his angle also.. not just from a mothers viewpoint.

Women do exactly the same thing.!! especially if they don't already have kids.
I know first hand because I raised my son alone.. and just about all of the women ran real fast.

Thats just reality,
For many wanting to start a family in a normal fashion they are just as right to feel that way.

and when kids are already involved from the beginning...a hell of a lot of extra stress is added to what a normal start of a relationship would or should be.

But I never blamed the women.. because I understood how much it was asking of her/them.

some just want to start a relationship in a normal fashion..
nothing wrong with that.

but now will go a bit further.
I did my time, raised my kids, got fixed so I can't produce more.
More than paid my dues and have pretty good kids as a result.
but since I have already done it all, I don't plan on doing it all over.

Know this view bothers some people.. mostly the younger people that haven't finished raising their kids yet.. why.....because they don't want to face the truth, the reality that there is also a life after raising the kids.

Funny how most people understand this concept afterwards.

Now it is my turn to have a life.
