It's cool even if I was giving you a bit of heck I wasn't angry. You bring up some good points and it would be useful to learn from detractors. Need to tame my natural instinct to defend my country lol.
My bad everyone I am just tired of my country being bashed so as long as you aren't I won't say "piss off". Man I love how the British state things lol.
Bye all have a good day I am not on here to fight. You have some valid things about my country. It is easy to point fingers especially from far away. I think if I met any of you in person I would try to act warmly and with kindness towards you. Good evening. I am too old for this nonsense. Nothing is solved with bias.
Really? I don't believe that is true. I see a lot of arrogance on here towards Americans. I think a lot of what you all say has some validity but your bias towards my country is distasteful. Really all prejudice is backward in of itself.
Well hats off to you if you have actually looked into it. What I was asking is where did you get your source of information? Anyway it is done. Was it done out of greed? Sure or to make a living and keep the economy afloat probably. Do we learn from it now and go on. Of course.
I am not saying you don't have a point and you are right about countries depending on us unfortunately it has been awesome but terrible at the same time. I am sure other countries were doing the same thing.
My point is made earlier in general. We are a world made up of imperfect humans so deal with it.
Now why am I not surprised that the US is being considered as the corrupter of mankind. Hmm So where does your sources come from that my country's banks corrupted others and twisted arms to incite others to act greedily?
Such hatred out there. It hurts. I admit that before 9-11 my little ideological world was intact but no more.
Look buddy there is greed and corruption all over the world not just in my country.
I will just answer the main question. Loving others including ourselves is the most important thing in life when true caring and empathy and mercy come forward as well as well as accountability and learning then the most important needs get met.
Now what country would you be ascribing the blame to? I wonder hmmmm?
We all have a hand in the way our world is. It's not just our leaders it's all of us except maybe our children and a few people out there who are pure of heart.
Good idea but there will always be powermongers. Those who would use whatever means and whoever to control things. Careful the Illuminati is watching (joking).
If I didn't believe I and others had a soul or spirit or whatever you want to call it then it would be easy to be hard but you choose the view you have of others and the world. You can view the pain and suffering, wrongs and evil or you can be balanced and realize there is also great humanity, compassion, wisdom and profound beauty that comes from each of us individually.
The soul endures even when it leaves this existence.
Well those barbarians are humans and you will find them in every race. I know I come from quite a few of those onery races. Think about it. It's human nature to be savage and primal and sense the cavemen have exited the building we come up with other ways to kill each other.
Bye all have a lovely day. It's beautiful here in Colorado. If I have offended anyone I plead mercy. I know that bias puts up barriers between people and have no desire to be biases against anyone except those who would harm others because they are different.
I don't think traits of cynicism and suspicion can be limited to one country but I have always had a pretty broad mindset even as a child lol. Always wanted to visit other places and revel in the difference and had no desire to be an arrogant American but I love my country and while it's not perfect am proud to be from here. Enough said. If any of you would like to ask about my countrymen specifically while not an expert I have lived here for almost 44 years and am Native American also go ahead. You can email me if you would like I would be happy to dispel rumors and false notions.
If you notice on the forums many of the American men are quite excellent people.
Well I have lived all over my country and people here for the most part are very open and accepting it is like other places we are stupid, ignorant, kind, compassionate. You have the whole thing. Yes maybe we get carried away with the proud to be American thing. I am I admit it but it's the best parts of my countrymen that I love. The compassion, generosity and Americans love to laugh. We are like everywhere else where there are humans. We are good and bad. Need to get this on a global level. Get past the biases and then we can get somewhere.
I don't know about date but I have met people before out of a sense of adventure without knowing what they looked like. One of my best friends back home in Oregon I met off CL and I didn't have a picture of him.
If you have lived here cool but as Luscious says if you haven't visited here and got to know us you can't judge us. Well you can but you are not right just as me saying that I don't like Indonesians because there are a lot of extremely militant Muslims would be ignorant. I try not to be ignorant. When the tsunami happened Americans were right there with aid to try to help.
Well on one hand some of us men and women have had a lot of bad experience with spammers and putting your heart on the line to someone you don't know as well entrusting your finances etc is scary.
On the other side it is easier to lump people all together than to deal with them individually. So I would say if you are a great woman looking for someone to love wherever they may live cool.
I have had too many spammers ask me what my job was immediately that is a big red flag as well as praising someones looks and not taking time to read profiles.
This forum is wonderful in that it can be a place for people to start a romance but is also a source of some great connections out there. I am glad for a lot of the people I have met on here both genders just being able to talk or post poetry is great encouragement. As far as staying I guess it depends on the people but I would tend towards someone who is secure enough to let me stay on these forums.
Night Hugz no cougar material here just a woman feeling her age and not enjoying any type of bias. People do not need to be lumped as if they are cast from the same mold. Just a thought. Love you darlin. Am off.
How do you feel about older woman dating younger men. I'm not talking a 40 yr old woman with an 18 yr old man -- what is your acceptable age range? Would you men consider dating a woman 10 years older? It seems more acceptable for men to date younger women - I was just wondering...your thoughts?[/quote
