well some people's truth, is crap to other's,that doesn't mean it's not true. personally i thought you were right to make a stand over the arguing thing - it's all calm on the western front since! so thanks for that.... cheers..
i think wulfen has answered your question - and remember all the history of the world that you learned in school? - history was written by the winners of previous conflicts - it makes life difficult for historians, i have a friend who is one.
i think you should wear what you like, if some people don't like it thats life, if you pretend to be something you're not to impress someone - it won't last long. long hair short hair - whatever!
we should never be smug about anything - this is a hard hearted atheist signing off.. i'm helping to build a hospital right now, i find it more practical than yammering on about what and why i believe in or don't believe in....
i'm an atheist, so i automatically have a hardened heart..
so why do i cry at weddings, celebrations, or when my friends or family hurt? why do i keep checking the tv when disaster strikes anywhere in the world hoping for shreds of hope and relief? perhaps my heart is hard, and the feelings of love and compassion come from somewhere else....
sorry,lovemovies, but you are talking about atheists as though they lump all christians in the perfect corner, i never expect anyone to be perfect, and i certainly don't look to christians to set an example - if you think of it an example of what?..perhaps you are confusing the issue, atheists may throw a little verbal scorn on believers from time to time for acting in a particularly obvious un-christian way, but you can be scorned by anyone for such an offence, of any belief. i don't spend my time searching for perfection, i spend it living, listening to those around me, helping my friends and family and loving them. i spend my time trying to create art and poetry that inspires and touches any who will care to look at it. i don't expect any rewards for these efforts, the look of suprise/joy/love on someone's face is enough to let me know i'm doing something right.
this may be because atheists have thought long and hard, searched deeply into their own beings, argued with the logic, and struggled with the outcome of their new belief. as opposed to the majority of believers who have been taught from infancy to accept..i dont care what you believe in, i know what i know and its only when threads are started like this that believers pitch themselves in battle against poor lost souls like me, and never win...
i'm with you there, companionship can't be bought or explained and yet is so important, good luck with it anyway nawzis, i'm suprised you didn't think of the flagging thing! i have seen a lot of the ladies say outrageous things about themselves to get some attention...have you visited the poetry section - lots of intelligence there...
my opinion was not given with any emotion, it's how i am - i had a brief relationship with a guy who had an IQ of about 189... he had difficulty with the concepts of deoderant and time keeping. dating should be fun and a relationship should be something you want to be involved in. limiting her search to men with degrees,phd's, masters etc.. and perfect spelling in their profiles is certainly going to limit her options. anyway, to be honest - i think the whole poll thing and the opinions are meant to flag herself to men who consider themselves intelligent enough to take her on! i can't argue with the logic of that - it's a good plan. however, if the op shows herself to be highly picky about men, she may be alienating the man of her dreams by accident. not all intelligent men consider themselves to be as such, and not all men who consider themselves to be intelligent are. (much the same as women!)
i consider myself highly educated and highly intelligent, but i never make a big deal about it and i certainly am not measuring the intelligence or education of any men on this site. in my experience love and compatibility go far beyond these details. the op did come across as being a little condescending, and if she is as clever as she thinks perhaps an apology would be the way to go. if she simply doesn't care who's feelings she bruises by being so blunt - then that in itself speaks for her personality. being conscious of the the feelings of others is a desirable trait - in my view..just being honest..
hi mindful, i'm not a huge poster here, but ssolo was way out of line with you, i think she ran before i got to call her a name .. maybe she just doesn't like nice people...
or they may have been married and realise it didn't work, so they have to find a new way...sorry, i dated my ex for 5 years we got married 24 years, should have separated before all that time passed, but marriage kept us respectable. respectable doesn't always involve loving someone.
