RE: Older Ladies/Toy Boys

Want to go toy somewhere else? Paris?

RE: ARE MEN NECESSARY??

Ca veut dire quoi?

RE: ARE MEN NECESSARY??

I was speaking for myself, but do you think women can't build a house?

RE: ARE MEN NECESSARY??

Talkiing about White House occupants?

RE: Older Ladies/Toy Boys

YOU haven't; THEY have (as is true for myself).

RE: Older Ladies/Toy Boys

And where were you when I was a toy, er, boy?

laughing at yourself

Yeah, there's that as well for me: too old to cry so gotta laugh.

laughing at yourself

Exactly! That sort of silly feeling that there's somehow another 'self' that one can laugh at detachedly, absurd as that is.

RE: love

With faith, all things are possible. It's believing makes it so.

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

Oops! Forgot you're closer than the rest of these people and could be scared. Don't worry, though I'd love to visit Scotland, I won't suddenly show up to show off.

laughing at yourself

I occasionally take myself too seriously, but less and less. It is often a source of laughter, too.

RE: no picture, but u won't be disappointed!

Disappointed? I'm already disappointed!

laughing at yourself

How often have you found yourself laughing at yourself?

When does it happen; what triggers it?

Is it genuine joy laughter or cynical, self critical?

Inquiring minds, etc.

Oh, you want me to go first? Guess that’s proper etiquette.

Yeah, some of my own ideas make me laugh after I turn ‘em around in my head a while.

Also in total frustration at how absurdly stupid I can be.

Have to admit I think it is a very strange mental loupe; to laugh at your very own self? But conscious logic doesn’t always ‘get it’.

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

demonstration = participation

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

Now I can hardly reply without sounding boastful. I suppose only a demonstration could resolve the issue.

RE: WOULDNT IT BE COOL?

Hope you know it's appreciated.

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

I'm already Ruthless, and Bethless, Annless, Susanless......

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

T'est adorable!

I just thought TT was saying she wasn't counting herself among the women. The top of the thread referred to women and aliens, which I took to be men (who I admit do seem pretty alien sometimes), so I was playing with her.

RE: If you could change one thing with yourself....

A major reduction of ego.

RE: WOULDNT IT BE COOL?

TT does it all the time.

Choosing what to believe

I'm back (how's that for stating the obvious?).

One point I'd like to see discussed is whether people in general have the realization that, no matter how much they believe in an authority, it is their choice to obey. Many times, when asked, folks say, "I was raised that way", or "you have to accept this", showing very little recognition of choice.

RE: If You Can Read his

"It makes my brain hurt"

Choosing what to believe

I have to go work a while; back later. Please continue.

Choosing what to believe

I agree, at least for myself. Exploration is essential. It just seems unusual for the majority and I don't understand. Societies as a whole seem afraid of the challenge of really debating what their basic, elementary principles are. We are not educated to be the maximum a human can be, just to fill a slot in the social fabric; boys for soldiers and girls to make more boys.

Choosing what to believe

Oh, religion is an appropriate subject, in fact a major part. Just not to argue.

Choosing what to believe

Good inputs.

Not looking for a religious fight. I've just found it fascinating that there are so many but they stay where they are. If one 'worked', you'd think it would be obvious. But the main idea was to explore why people don't explore.

Choosing what to believe

How do we arrive at our beliefs and faiths? Howmuch choice do you think most people really experience when it comes to the fundamental guidelines they follow?

Mostly, it seems that, no matter where people are born, they stick with the belief structure dominant in their geographical area. What accounts for such lack of diversity?

RE: Wow 1/10 of 1 percent of cattle tested for Mad Cow

Guess most of them must be contented cows.

RE: One thing you've always wanted to do....

As for telling you about some, gladly, but don't want to hijack the thread. I'll try to email you, if that's ok;

RE: One thing you've always wanted to do....

Perhaps. That would explain a lot. Remember the Bruce Willis movie where he doesn't realize he's made the transition from what we call life to what we call death? Maybe no one's told me the truth.

But that would make any, uh, 'activity' with me safe, donchathink?
