I can personally vouch for that. I have received a numerous amount of support from the posters and have never been disappointed when I posted a thread for support or even when I'm whining about this or that. These people are the greatest and yet they are strangers who are always willing to help.
As far as the emoticons, I think they say a lot without saying anything.
If someone sends a thumbs up, it means he/she agrees with the poster. I don't needs words all the time. Hugs, kisses, flowers....the emotes are great.
I know from my own personal experience that you can. I lived with someone for six years who was impotent. When I asked him to go to the doctor he refused so that told me that he was selfish and it was time for me to move on.
I think you will find this interesting. I had trouble copying the link so I hope you will be able to open it. If you can't get it open please let me know and I'll try to find another way to copy it.
There is an advertisement on the side. I couldn't figure out how to delete it.
I think it all boils down to where to draw the line.
Will that person have a negative impact on my life, my children, my job, my self-esteem.
I am guilty of judging others in real life, not here in the forums. And it was good that I did judge those, or remove them from my life, so I trust my instinct on what is or isn't good for me.
Hi Vinny....well you have answered the question clearly.
It's not a matter of prejudging Vinny.
When a jury judges someone, it is a fact, not in question.
So when you say people pre-judge, I get the feeling that you are questioning what the person is doing....you aren't sure which way the wind goes.
The 19 terrorists had friends. One of them had a wife who it is believed didn't know anything about her husbands goings. Should she be judged by what her husband did?
Not everything is black and white and in this case, once it was proven that she didn't know anything, I wouldn't judge her as also being a terrorist.
I wouldn't judge him if his actions were because of a medical condtion.
You are discussing what someone did in his past.
I would like to know if one of the friends whom you associate with now was found out to be a drug dealer around a school, what would you do, if anything.
This being the beauty of an international forum.....All nations exchanging thoughts and words....We are here to express ourselves whether our thoughts are...negative or positive...clear or clouded...I am perhaps one of the clouded ones...but I shine inside.....I should hold my thoughts to myself.[/quote]
No you shouldn't. I don't keep my thoughts to myself unless I think it will offend or hurt someone. I'm probably one of the weirdest people in the forums. I'm opininated, and have a history of many problems. The folks on here pretty much know what I'm about. I think the more you are in the forums the more people can read you, how you express yourself and then know how to react to you. When I say "you" I don't mean you in particular.
I've never seen you before so please don't feel bad if we didn't understand each other.
Funny thing is, I've been in 3 or 4 threads today and it's been the same thing in each of them....a misunderstanding of some sort and I'm going to take a good deal of the blame because with me not feeling well I don't have the patience I normally have.
I think what is important is that people don't argue and show disrespect. You haven't done that and neither have I. We are adults that know how to handle a conversation of different opinions.
Hi Chick....My bad day isn't because of the threads. It's because I'm not feeling well and that's nobody's fault but my own. I shouldn't even have gone in the forums today. Sorry if I caused confusion
I'm sorry but I never heard of the word masculinefemine.
I probably should get out of this thread cause I'm not understanding what you're looking for.
I thought you meant women are changing because they are doing what was once perceived as male only jobs.
At one time only men drove motorcyles and now women do too. Is that what you mean by masculinefemine?
At one time only men worked in construction.
I think some of the others in the thread understand you better than I do. Doesn't mean either one of us is wrong, just means that we think differently.
Whoa, there .... All I asked you to do is explain a little further how you came to the conclusion that women want to be masculine.
And you still haven't done so. You say it is an observation. Well what have you observed women doing or saying that makes you say they are becoming masculine.
The "roughness" comes from her mind, how she uses her brain. There are loads of moisturizers on the market my friend. She can be just as soft as she wants to be.
The woman that works on a John Deere tractor takes a bubble bath at night.
Tater, if she works for the cable company and climbs the telephone pole to fix your cable, or she works with the paving crew that puts new tar down to fix the potholes on your street, or she wears a police uniform, are you saying you wouldn't be interested in meeting her for a date??
Capable yes, but those who want equal rights forget that it means equal in everything, including the bad times that men have to deal with. You can't say I want equal rights only when it benefits me as a woman.
Or maybe they're just using common sense. If you believe in saving the whales and your friend believes in killing animals, that they have no place on earth and that your dog who is amember of your family is a piece of crap, are you insecure, ignorant or jealous because you end the friendship?
Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier
It seems that people are patriotic when something goes wrong.Remember how many flags were flying after 9/11.
My license plate is a vanity plate and it shows how much I am proud to be an American.
I would like to tell you what it is but for safety sake I can't.
