One thing that has saved me a lot of trouble over the years is a simple bit of wisdom from Charles Caleb Colton: "When you have nothing to say, say nothing." It fits well with something Plato once said: "Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say...

Not a thing in the world wrong with that. I would kind of like that myself some day. But after many conversations in chat and on the forum, I have concluded you can talk yourself into being miserable better than anybody I know. And I wish I could find a way to help you stop doing that, because...

toinena / icequeen you have been distraught about being single for as long as I have known you. You have been desperately trying to find a man for as long as I have known you. I have been telling you the same thing over and over for as long as I have known you. You have not been listening...

If she were up front with a mic, don't worry. The sound man would have her mic turned down. I've had to do that before.

I don't usually even bother with reactions. And that has a cuss word in it. But I still had to give an "agree" reaction to that one. Mostly because right now I'm sitting in front of my computer, doing whatever I want... which is currently catching up on the forum on my internet computer and...

Really? You come back months later to stir it up again, don't answer any of the main points anybody has made, and keep arguing that it should be okay? Two possibilities: 1 - You are a troll who enjoys making and perpetuating arguments. 2 - You want to justify using marijuana so you won't feel...

"The Bible says the meek will inherit the earth. These days the earth is in such a shape that the meek don't want it."

I am sure that your daughter does not. I'd be surprised if you allowed it.

Many have idle dreams of being a ruler and running a benevolent dictatorship. What few stop to think about is, being in charge of any group of humans is much like being a herder of cats... or like being a bus driver on a bus where every passenger thinks we should go to a different place, and...

Kids are traditionally between 12 and 14 years old in middle school... yeah, I can easily believe they are fooling around by then. A lot of parents just don't care enough to stop them, and some parents are even "progressive" enough to encourage them in this. Where do you live that they don't...

Apparently everybody needs somebody to look down on. I just can't figure out exactly why. What brought this to my attention was the way a guy at work has been treated. He's a nice guy, conscientious worker, but he's... mentally disabled, or developmentally disadvantaged, or whatever the...

Yeah. That's exactly what I meant.
