Embargo, blockade, invade???? So if the U.S. doesn't get what they want they have the right to take it or make thousands of civilians pay for the actions of the Government? Maybe they should just fund a rebel group like they did with the Contra's in Nicaragua and really screw up the country. They own the oil they have a right to sell or not sell to whoever they choose. Might does not make right.
I started out answering every email, message & flower sent, but must shamefully admit that I don't anymore, I'll take a quick look and if there is no potential I don't bother, except for ones that have been really nice and I don't want to hurt their feelings, so I say thank you but... you want children I don't...etc
Like so many women of my generation I grew up in a very traditional household with a strong male figure as head of house... but grew up in a time when women were encouraged to become better educated, more self sufficient and able to take care of themselves.
I've got a double major from university, I've owned and run my own business's very successfully, I can do basic plumbing and car repairs, raised a beautiful daughter by myself and am very self sufficient and emotionally strong.
That said... I am also very old fashioned when it comes to relationships, I like a strong male partner, someone who is a little bit smarter, a bit stronger, someone I admire and look up to... and that's asking a lot. I don't think it's fair to men, but I can't give up control to someone who can't take care of things better then I can.
I want to be loving, nurturing and feminine in a relationship, but that's difficult to do if you're the one making the decisions, handling problems, being the strong one... I don't know what the answers are, but I do think that the in some ways the women's liberation movement has created a very different world and we're all still trying to find our way and our rolls.
I agree, with you...but it does take reading a lot of posts in a lot of different threads!
Using myself as an example... most of the time I think I'm considerate of other peoples points of view and am able to discuss things in a reasonable way, and I enjoy some of the funny and silly conversations as well...but I can become a real b*tch if I think someone has attacked me and not my views. Anyone reading one particular series of posts between myself and another individual can attest to the fact that I can be pretty nasty, but I would hate to think that I was being judged on that one interaction.
Many people in real life and online say things they think you want to hear in order to be accepted or liked and it takes a while before you get past that and start to see them for what they really are. Personally I don't understand that, why would you want to attract a person who likes you for what you are not??? It's only by being yourself that you find the people who like you for who you truly are.
I'm just a wee bit tipsy, just got in from my birthday party, 7 am here, what time is it there? I feel good dadadada da, the way that I should now, dadadada da....
