Borderline Personality Disorder Posted: 9/24/2009 9:34:59 AM
I agree with skipping the tattoo and saving the spot on your body for a reminder of a pleasant experience if you still feel you want a tattoo later. When you get your life back and become you again you will be wiser for having experienced the trials you have endured. Use that wisdom of experience to make wise healthy choices in your future. Remember it's not just your future but the future of those children you desire to one day have.

Borderline Personality Disorder Posted: 9/21/2009 6:15:40 PM
I dated a borderline for 2 years, the 1st few months were great and it was mostly downhill from there. BPD is an illness that prevents the person from truly loving anyone, not even their parents, their spouse or their children. They are often self abusive and are a physical and mental threat to themselves and to those who love them the most. BPD is often passed from parent to child. My advice to you if you want the loving husband, children and family thing is to cut your losses and move on. I know it is easier said than done but for your own mental health you need to do it. I hear and fully understand your reasoning and thinking as to not wanting to leave someone because they are ill, I felt the same way. The one thing a borderline fears the most is abandonment yet the truth is they almost always end up abandoning the relationship themselves within 2 years. Often the people that are willing to stick with a person with BPD are usually suffering with their own co-dependency issues. I wish I could say be patient with them and love them unconditionally and they will get better but it is just not the case. About the time you think things are getting better their illness will cause them to destroy any progress that has been made and sabotage that progress. I can not imagine the personal hell a borderline lives in but have witnessed it and had a taste of it by loving someone with this illness. Now knowing and understanding what BPD is I will always feel strongly for anyone with this illness but will never let myself fall in love with someone that suffers it. Suffering with BPD makes for a long hard lonely life for the one who suffers with it and equally as hard for those that love them.

Why are Humans the only Mammals without a mating call? Posted: 1/7/2009 8:18:31 AM
Try This: Go into a bar and start crowing like a rooster, when asked what you are doing tell them it is your mating call. This will attract the attention of all the women in the bar as what woman would not stop to notice a giant c*ck making an donkey of himself in public. The beauty of this call is it is not really the call but the fact that one is self-confident enough to make a donkey of himself in the interest of good humor. Every woman and even a few of us guys know that the key to attracting women is self-confident humor. This call is exceptionally effective just before last call for alcohol.

Just my opinion but I really think cheating on your mate should be a higher fee than having anal with her. Sex in church is only $25 who came up with that, a priest. I got a $245.

25 Signs You have Grown Up Posted: 10/14/2008 3:40:13 PM
OP: Your list rings true. It fisrt hit me when I realized the hair on my back and chest was thicker than the hair on my head. Then was really driven home when I ran into an old classmate/girlfriend and she showed me pictures of her Grand baby. Two years ago I needed a hip replacment. Last time I renewed my DL the guy told me I better get glasses before my next renewal comes due. Man, where does it end?

Michael Vick to Plead Guilty Posted: 8/17/2007 7:44:46 AM
I learned long ago not to believe everything we hear from the media. They will attempt to sensationalize everything to create a bigger story. The truth is that dog fighting has always been a part of US culture and will continue to be in the future. If Vick was not a celebrity we would not even have heard about his dog fighting adventures. If anything he is not being favored for being an athlete but is being scrutinized because of it. I do not condone dog fighting but do know a lot about the dog fighting subculture and you would be surprised at who participates in dog fighting. Dogfighting especially in the SE US is alive and well and often law enforcement turns a blind eye to it and in some cases I am aware of local police officers and politicians participating in the sport. There are two factions of dogfighting, there is the relatively new gangsta rap black dogfighting culture and the the age old "good ole boys" faction and both dislike each other. Dogfighting is a very interesting subject to research if anyone actually cares to do so before spouting in ignorance. Oh, and just because something has been deemed illegal does not always equal evil, How many people like the OP occasionally use Illegal drugs and see no wrong in it? Pit bull type dogs are very impressive and loyal dogs and I have been around many of them. A close friend of mine is a serious breeder of APBT's and enters them in shows and pulling competition which are the legal PB sports that have replaced dogfighting. Keeping the quality in breeding is important with any living creature, in nature the competition and elements sort out the weak and sick and the strong survive. In captive breeding it is important to cull the weak and inferior and yes often the culls are put down. I don't know the true story about Vick's culling practices and neither do any of you and as I said I am very hesitant to trust the media. I don't condone torture of any creature but a humane method of death for culls is perfectly acceptable. Shooting, gassing, electrocution, lethal injection, and clubbing are all rather quick and painless deaths that are used and accepted methods of euthanasia when done properly. The nature of the PB is not to show aggression against humans so putting him in a pit with pitbulls would only involk a dogfight and the only chance of him being harmed would be if he was accidentally tagged while attempting to break up the fight. Oh, and this would then make you a dogfighter for putting the PB's together in the pit.

Am I crossing the line doing background checks on a suspicious date? Posted: 8/2/2007 1:31:13 PM
1) About half the population has been treated for some type of mental disorder, most of them depression which could be caused by the situation the world is in and the unbelievably high expectations that are put on each of us. Personally if someone is in need of medication I prefer they are on it than off it. I have coworkers and friends on such meds that are perfectly fine productive persons. I find it offensive to link persons that are being responsible and seeking treatment for their mental illness with the criminally insane serial killer types. 2) I often legally carry a weapon in my car as do most of my friends, family, and acquaintances. I live in an area where hunting is a huge part of normal life as well as other shooting sports. I also keep a large survival knife under the seat of my truck and have used it many times for good reasons and never for any illegal purpose. Ever had to tie down a load and wished you had a knife to cut the rope to length, or come upon a wounded animal suffering in the roadway needing to be humanly finished. 3) Many of your most successful people were fired from more than one job before achieving their success. Successful achievers are seldom accepted in the main stream workforce because they question the status quo and make employers and management nervous. Most will tell you they have been fired more than once and if you ask you will find that their former employers often have come back to admit they were wrong to let them go. So if someone has been fired a lot ask them why, if it is for poor attendance or violent outbursts or something then be concerned. As for your question on background checks, I would not be offended at all, but then I have nothing to hide. Personally I think if you are suspect ask questions, if you are still not satisfied move on. If your a paranoid mental case then see item 1 above and get some help.

Was I a jerk? Posted: 7/30/2007 1:20:46 PM
"I wonder how many of her 6 kids had the same father." I read this same basic line several times on this thread and just have to say that a mothers low moral standards and stupid behavior does and will effect the poor kids. BUT, it is not the fault of the kids whether they all share the same father or each has a different father. Don't punish the kids for their mothers poor judgment they are each an individual child worthy of love and compassion irregardless of who their parents may or may not be.

if a guy turned up for a date in a costume, what would you do? Posted: 7/30/2007 7:06:25 AM
I would say you should meet her at her at a public place like maybe the cemetery or something, not at Starbucks (you don't want to embarrass her) and try a Grim Reaper costume, that should get you some interesting results. I can see your not listening to the 90% that say you need to take your meds and back away from The Cartoon Network. Good luck with your venture.

Your friends that said your concerns should have first been for the children's safety and not for the fine were right. I would not say you were a jerk but you were as too many are these days practicing a me first behavior. It is great that you offered the BBQ even though it sounds as though you were not too enthused about it. I would have probably told them we would have to make arrangements for another day as I was not prepared for 7 passengers. Then I would have pulled her aside for a serious talk and found out what her true intentions were. Surely she knew that springing 6 kids on an unsuspecting guy was not wise. I just don't think I could of let the kids down for their mothers bad judgment. More than once I have allowed stupid parents to use me a bit because I felt bad for the kids that are stuck with them for parents. Not that I'm assuming her a looser but she was definitely not being honest and forward with you.

High speed police chases Posted: 7/26/2007 10:11:28 PM
A few years back we had a kid in town driving 10 MPH over the speed limit on a motor cycle and he decided to run from the cops for the state border. He was not smart enough to realize that border town usually have reciprocal chase agreements not to mention that the border is a bridge and the MI police were already waiting on the other side of it. Upon crossing the bridge he simply picked up more police cars in the chase and now was in trouble in two states for driving much faster than 10 over and for fleeing. He decided to take the next bridge back to WI only to be cut off by a squad car which he hit broadside at 70+ MPH. Now you have a kid on life support, a totaled out motorcycle that some insurance company will have to pay for and a badly damaged squad car that the citizens will have to pay to repair. Not to mention the could have beens of cars flying down crowded city streets and through busy intersections at 80+ mile per MPH. All this for a 10 MPH speed violation. PURE STUPIDITY on the part of the kid and the cops.

The Canadian Supreme court border search ruling Posted: 7/26/2007 4:21:03 PM
If I was a drug smuggler it would only have cost me a 20 to get away with it! I had the papers from my legitimate delivery and they never asked to see them just for a bogus short term crossing fee.

The Canadian Supreme court border search ruling Posted: 7/26/2007 11:53:23 AM
I having been tormented at the border several times while re-entering the states would say that if they think they have just reason to search they should do so, but they better be sure they are right. Any damage or mess caused in they're search should be their responsibility to repair and clean up. I have had buddies going on a fishing trip that have had their whole truck and boat torn apart and their belongings strewn because some BP agent did not like the way they looked. I used to deliver heavy machine parts to Algoma Steel just across the border at Sioux St. Marie. The Canadians were always very good about me crossing in to deliver parts and Algoma Steel had an office next door to the Border Patrol Station. Getting back into the US was always a fight, dishonesty seemed to be the norm. They would make up and charge me bogus fees (bribes of a sort) that really did not exist before releasing me to go in and if I argued it they would start tearing things apart. I was paid to deliver parts and if I was sitting there I was loosing money and they knew it so the bogus $20 was cheaper than the lost time and damage. They occasionally stated that the reason I was being pulled aside was due to my short stay in Canada and then the game would begin. I was delivering parts not on a freaking vacation. I have been told by a businessman friend of mine from Canada that he has the same problems only in reverse. I guess corruption is just the norm for government workers in any country, who know perhaps that judge charges such a bogus fee to get the smugglers an acquittal.

smokers dating non smokers!!!! Posted: 7/25/2007 10:29:33 AM
If all else is good and you are willing to try quitting then go for it, it would be good for you and this may just be the incentive to quit. If you can not or wish not to quit than find yourself another man. He has as much right to not date a smoker as you have to smoke, only his is a healthier choice. I'm a non-smoker and frankly I like the smell of tobacco and fresh smoke. I never smoked cigarettes but did occasionally smoke cigars. When occasionally started becoming regularly I quit completely, I'm over weight and constantly battle that issue and I understand the health factors with that and certainly do not need a tobacco addiction too. I would date a smoker if all else clicked but I would truly want her to be planning or trying to quit for herself and her family, especially if she has kids. It would not be a deal breaker if she never did but would always be something I would wish for. Smoke does not bother me and I could live with it if I had to but it is unhealthy and I would prefer to avoid the consequences of smoking. A good friend of mines father who is a non-smoker just found out he has spots in his lungs that may be cancerous. His wife has smoked in the home and around him their entire married life. He also is a fire fighter and is exposed to smoke far more hazardous than cigarettes but she is now beating herself up for exposing him to her cigarette smoke all these years. He is a cool rational guy and assures her that even if it was proven that this was caused from her smoking which he really does not think it is it was still his choice to be around her smoke and it is not her fault. But will she be able to cope should she lose him to cancer?

Animals euthanised when they kill humans Posted: 7/10/2007 6:43:53 AM
I've worked with animals my entire life, many of them considered to be dangerous species. I've been bitten, scratched, kicked and gored by more than a few. If you work with these animals you expect it and it is part of the territory. Most animal work injuries are not a case of the animal attacking the keeper but are fear triggered reaction or rough play injuries. You will seldom hear of these injuries as they are normal and expected and these animals are not put down. The cases we all hear about in the media are usually the extreme cases and yes I fully agree that most are human error and not the fault of the animals. In many cases animals are put down far to quickly to appease the fears of ignorant people. Putting dangerous wild animals that are known man eaters in zoos is perhaps one of the dumbest ideas I've heard yet. People that work in zoos are just people doing a job and do not need the risk of being killed by an exhibit animal. This makes about as much sense as life imprisonment for serial killers just put them down and don't let them breed. Some animals, not many just must be put down before they hurt somebody and certainly if they kill or mame somebody unprovoked. Before any animal is put down for biting a human one must consider the circumstances. If you try to take a bone away from a feeding lion you deserve to be bitten and the lion was within his normal and expected actions. If a wild lion wanders into a village, kills and eats some children then it's a different situation. Dangerous wild animals that are not endangered species that loose their fear of and attack humans need to be put down and put to best use. As far as the gator that is fed by humans in the canal near humans and eventually reaches a size where he can add humans to his diet and chooses to do so. This is no fault of the gator he is a low thinking predatory killing machine by nature. This still does not give him a free ticket to eat people it just gives us a need to harvest him. As for you who think all animals need to be cared for and preserved by humans at any cost. Animals like vegetables are a harvestable natural resource and serve many purposes such as a natural source of food and fibre as well as being beautiful creatures to observe in the wild and keeping in captivity as pets or exhibits. Humans are a part of the ecosystem and as with any species the strongest and smartest survive. I believe very much in using our environment and resources to their best and fullest use which includes harvesting and culling.

Company to charge higher insurance for workers who live an unhealthy lifestyle Posted: 7/3/2007 9:56:53 PM
Older workers cost more health care $$$ than young workers so will these companies be charging you for getting older as well. Some companies would rather their employees smoke as it makes it much harder to prove a case against them when the employee gets heart or lung disease from their work environment. Anyone heard of the medical privacy act, sounds like a law suit looking for a place to happen. Lawyers will love this idea.

Rosie O'Donnell To Leave The View Posted: 4/26/2007 11:19:47 AM
Many use comedy to mask their inner insecurities and often are very good at making others laugh with it. Many others with deep seated psychological problems seek to mask their problems with talk and sharing of others and their problems. Some find a cause to fight for to mask their problems. Others resort to violent rages about why their problems are everyone else's fault. Rosie seems to be trying them all. She is a bitter, angry, disturbed woman in need of some serious help before she hurts herself or others. She openly admitted on TV the other day cursing her children with the F word in Baldwin's defense. I should think those children will be battling their own demons one day thanks to being adopted into such a home. What more signs do we need that she is a walking, talking bomb looking for a place or reason to blow? The woman needs help and certainly should not be given any payment and platform from which to spew forth her hate and anger which is not coming from an external source but an internal one.

Cleanliness... Posted: 4/18/2007 2:02:04 PM
I have dated both ends of the spectrum and personally could not live on either end, although I would be more tolerable of the slob end than the self-righteous neat freak. I have been chewed out for cleaning past girlfriends places. They seem to take it as an insult and usually do feel somewhat self conscious and guilty about being such slobs, just not enough to do something about it. I like to have a rather neat and clean home. Now, what I do is totally a different thing. The condition of my place runs in streaks and no I don't mean running down the walls. In the spring my floors will be muddy, when it snows they are wet and dirty, you will find dog and cat hair on my furniture and rugs and yes usually dust on and around the knickknacks. I always have projects in the works that I do not always clean up before going on to do something else. I live on a farm and have many critters, it is not unusual for me to be caring for an ill or injured critter in my kitchen or bathroom. I tend to put many other things ahead of cleaning my house but I try. About Germs, I do believe in maintaining a relatively germ clean home and do use some disinfectant cleaners but would not think twice about using my dishes or silverware to feed the critters as long as they go through the dishwasher before I use them again for my food. Some think that is just disgusting and I say to each their own and I and my critters are probably healthier with a better immune system than they are. I believe many of the allergies and illnesses people have can be credited to the overly clean way they live or possibly even caused by the chemical disinfectants themselves. Now, that doesn't say that total slobs are healthier than I am, I think there is a middle ground. About shoes in the house I usually go by how clean the place is, if it looks clean I remove them if it's not I leave them on. A friends boy who came to my home in the winter time once asked me where he should leave his shoes and I told him on his feet unless he wanted wet dirty socks, to which he replied, cool. I often where slippers around the house but I don't require guests to bring their slippers or remove their shoes. I have no carpeting as I believe it harbors filth, bacteria, and parasites and I have a mop and bucket and know how to use them.

Massive Pet Food Recall Posted: 3/24/2007 5:41:15 PM
Reading the comments here I see a whole lot of finger pointing and talk of law suits. What a pitiful bunch of soap box preachers. Those who are preaching about feeding more expensive foods need look at the list it only effects the cuts and gravy type foods which are far more expensive than your typical dry foods. As far as the brands some of the most expensive are on the list along side the cheaper store brands. Does this not make you think you are already paying for a big name and getting the same food as the cheaper store brands. Unfortunately, too many people speak out and point fingers in ignorance on far too many issues. Dogs and cats by their nature are opportunistic feeders and will eat things we would not go near and it does not hurt them a bit. Seems a bit Ironic it is the gravy food with the Wheat Gluten added to make it more appealing to humans that is the problem. I personally seldom use such foods, for one they are generally not as nutritionally adequate as a good dry foods and for another their primary ingredient is water which I can get from my tap for nearly free.

3-Year-Old Child Mauled By Dog Posted: 3/23/2007 3:02:34 AM
Riley Rose -- It is not at all uncommon for Goldens and Labs to bite people and especially children. That same aggressive protecting stance that neighbor experienced when picking up that child can also be expressed toward children when protecting a dish or a toy, etc. I know this first hand as I had my cheeks torn nearly off as a child by a Golden protecting it's dish. You state you have heard of Pitbulls attacking children but not Goldens. This is because the media has developed a propensity to jump on every Pitbull bite and run with it. Most other dog bites are not reported by the media. If they reported on every dog bite it would be so common it would desensationalize the dog bite stories completely. Plain and simple dogs, cats, birds, and other pets bite children every day, some provoked and some not. We as animal keepers need to guard the safety of others and be as careful as possible to prevent our pets from harming others and their pets. No matter how careful or cautious we are there will always be incidences of bites but we can do much to reduce those incidences.

Is Al Gore a Hypocrite? Posted: 3/22/2007 7:52:58 PM
"Do you honestly think that ethanol will be the wave of the future? Do you think that ethanol will eventually replace gasoline? BTW, what is the GM line called? When will they be available to the consumer and what are the %s of ethanol/gasoline? BTW, most gas nowadays has about 10% ethanol content." Most of the new GM vehicles are already Flex Fuel meaning they can burn either Gasoline or E-85 (85% Ethanol/15% Gasoline) You could buy one today if you wish. Ethanol production is booming and corn prices are soaring to new highs. This means the North American farmer may actually make a profit this year. Although I'm sure the government will find a way to tax him back into poverty. Here's a link to learn more. http://www.e85fuel.com/e85101/flexfuelvehicles.php

Ottawa -- GM is producing a whole line of vehicles that run primarily on ethanol a renewable fuel made from produce grown right here in North America. Ethanol is not only cheaper than Gasoline but is much cleaner to burn and keeps the money here at home. As for heating your home you could consider a fibre pellet heating system or perhaps geothermal heating, perhaps solar, maybe electric that is generated by cleaner renewable sources such as a windmill or bio-fuel generator. All are much cleaner than fossil fuels, are renewable resources grown at home and will not make the Arabs wealthier so they can use that money to blow up your city. Yes, there is an initial cost either way just as there was when your gas furnace was installed but there is also a return on changing your heating system and it is not just a financial gain. We are in the process of converting our farm over to environmentally friendly bio-fuels and do it a bit at a time. We run our diesel truck on used vegetable oil and are converting our tractors over as well. We heat our buildings with wood obtained as waste material from other industries and we do not decimate forests for it. Our biggest wood source is from a local tree trimming and removal company and most of it is the clean up wood after storms. We also obtain much of our wood in the form of scrap pallets and crating wood. Contrary to what some claim wood is a very environmentally responsible fuel and will give off the same amount of gas if it rots naturally as it will if burned only if burned as a fuel it replaces a fossil fuel and reduces pollution. Yes, there is also more physical work involved with some of the alternative sources and given many peoples propensity for laziness they are more reluctant to do it. However, physical work equates to exercise which is something that will benefit most of us as well.

Is Al Gore a Hypocrite? Posted: 3/22/2007 8:08:00 AM
Al Gore is a politician and an education professional. Two Professions that rely solely on our tax dollars for funding. He can slam the fuel companies if he wishes but at least they give us a product for our money and the choice to buy it or find an alternative. Al's type take their pay off the top of my paycheck. Global warming and cooling has always been in existence in nature. Why do you think there are tropical species preserved in non-tropical regions. I for one am a environmentally concerned individual and do all I can to reduce polluting my environment. I would love to see America the leader in bio-fuels and solar and wind energy usage as well as any other sources that will help keep the environment cleaner and reduce our dependency on foreign fuels. We not only keep the money and jobs at home but get a cleaner environment too boot. Oh, let me guess these carbon offsets are a tax deductable donation?

Bumper Sticker Could Cost State Worker Her Job Posted: 3/19/2007 4:36:44 PM
I think the majority of people would find the profane bumper sticker offensive and that it is the states responsibility to honor the majority in insisting on the removal of the bumper sticker. I would not fire her but would simply have her car towed off the states property to an impound yard at her expense and she could pick it up there sticker and all. If she brought it back I'd tow it again. She has the right to free speech but not the right to offend others on state property with her speech. What if she was to come to work tomorrow with a bumper sticker that says "Hang Ni&&ers or Beat Faggots" would this be her right to free speech as well, I THINK NOT. To the guy above me -- stupid people come in all nationalities, Canadian included, some are even dumb enough to call other nationalities stupid in a public forum.

How Much Body Hair is Too Much on a Man/Woman? Posted: 3/16/2007 7:41:53 PM
I'm a rather hairy guy, yes my back is very hairy and I'm not getting it waxed. My lady does not seem to mind it as long as I keep it well groomed above the shoulders. (she loves my bald shaved head and trimmed beard) I personally prefer little hair on a woman except on her head. I think women look better with hair on their head, I'm not into the butch woman look. As far as arm hair goes it's fine as long as it's not thicker than mine but not arm pit hair. I would not insist on my lady shaving or waxing anything but do like that she does. If she had excessive facial hair I would offer to have it removed for her, and for me, THANK GOD she doesn't have that problem.

3-Year-Old Child Mauled By Dog Posted: 3/14/2007 11:00:29 PM
goldenlovers -- I have done much research on this subject and the stats you find online are both outdated and construed. I have collected my information from emergency room doctors and nurses and veterinarians. I have nothing against any breed of dog and you are correct that Goldens are not the breed most likely to bite. However, do to the current popularity of Labs and Goldens and their sheer numbers they are more likely to be the breeds involved in dog bite incidents. They are not bad dogs, they just greatly outnumber the other large breed populations. Another reason they are involved in many bite incidences is because many of their owners assume they will not bite and do not use general precautions to prevent it. I am not attacking your breed just stating that any animal can and will bite and we must treat them all as though they may bite. The media has in the past made a big issue of numerous popular breeds and biting, given their popularity and numbers Labs and Goldens could just be the next targets of the media. I also questioned the wording of this story as there is a major difference between mauling and biting and this situation sounds more like a simple dog bite to the face and not a mauling. Leave it to the media to cash in on this child's misfortune and sensationalize it for their own gain.

3-Year-Old Child Mauled By Dog Posted: 3/14/2007 8:52:44 AM
This does not surprise me at all, I have worked with dogs of all breeds (pitbulls, rotties, and chows included) all my life and been bitten seriously by only one, you guessed it a Golden Retriever. Labrador and Golden Retrievers bite more people each year than any other breeds. People that own these dogs tend to over trust them and that's why children get hurt by them. My niece was pulled from her bike last summer and bitten by a neighbors Golden while just riding past their farm on the country road in front of her farmhouse. Any, I repeat ANY animal is capable of biting, children included!

When they say Self Employed what does it really mean Posted: 3/14/2007 8:33:20 AM
ASTREAA -- It's not that you started it, it's how you started it. Making the assumption/accusation that because someone is self employed and states so in their profile they are lazy, lowlife, liars. Would you expect the people that are bold, strong, and confident enough to be self employed to not call you on this. I have worked most my life as a self employed man although due to health issues and insurance difficulty I was forced to take a stinking factory job. It is indeed much easier to punch the clock and pick up my check on Thursday but it will never get me anywhere beyond being dependent on the company for my existence. Thank God I only work a 3 12's week and can still use my other 4 days to run my business part time. If you have met liars on here then slam liars not self employed people. I know of one lowlife on another site that is 43 years old and never held a job more than 3 months. He lives off his wife and girlfriends incomes and is on dating sites looking for another low self esteem woman to help support him. He lists himself as being a construction worker, the only constructing he ever did was the constructing of his stories to make himself out to be more than the lazy scumbag he his. So if you should meet him will all construction workers be liars as well? Yes, the cat is very attractive if it's a female looking for a date I have an intact Bengal Tom that might like to date her.

Is Sarcasm Funny? Posted: 2/1/2007 11:02:21 AM
creativguy -- Language is not dead it has a growing and changing entity of it's own. Sarcasm and Irony are among these evolving spoken words. As people change and cultures change so do the words we use. Each year many new definitions are added to dictionaries to reflect the current and modern use of words. When used in humor they do not necessarily reflect the current dictionary definition. I will bet in the years to come the dictionaries will revise their definition to include the current common use of the words as we all know them. It is difficult as Humorous non-hurtfully intended Sarcasm is more the tone used than the word itself and the intellectual wannabee, self appointed guardians of the English language often will not catch sarcastic tone and try too hard to analyze the words themselves. i.e. --- gay Pronunciation (g) adj. gay·er, gay·est 1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex. 2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry. 3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room. 4. Given to social pleasures. 5. Dissolute; licentious. n. 1. A person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex. 2. A man whose sexual orientation is to men: an allianc In our Grandparents era do you think this would be the way the definition of gay would read, I think not. Just because a word use is currently not reflected in dictionaries does not make it an improper word use. In fact dictionary companies actually record and follow the use of such words and when they are satisfied they are not just a fad or trend usage they are nominated and updated.

"If you're trying to pick up women with your sarcasm, I gotta tell ya - there are easier ways. I won't tell you which ways." I quit picking up women a while back, the old joints just ain't up to it any more. Now, I just use my sarcastic charm to woo the one I want into coming to me by choice. Occasionally it even works.

The Constitution hasn’t changed; have Republicans? Posted: 1/31/2007 1:22:37 PM
lifecomposer -- ya, pretty scary stuff on both parties watch, like the troops dropped into Haiti on the Clinton admin. watch with a whopping 6 rounds each for their weapons. Remember that? Like I said party politics sucks and we could accomplish much more with honest evaluation of things regardless of what Party is at the helm. I did hear later that many of the soldiers refuse to use that extra body armour they are told they need as it slows them down and increases their chances of being hit by gunfire to start with. Like I said the party politics runs so deep with false accusations one never knows just what to believe. I guess we'll have to sort it all out after the fact as usual and then make up our own minds as to what good or not it did. It's just a shame so many are so party minded that they can't look at things with open eyes and an honest heart. Where did you get the 650,000 dear Iraqi's number at. The 3000 dead Americans in four years of battling it out is not bad compared to the number of civilians killed in New York and DC and the collateral damage in an hours time on 9-11. Be careful spewing such numbers 650,000 Iraqi's to 3000 Americans dead could mean to some we are kicking ass over there. However, I don't believe the US has killed any where near 650,000 Iraq's.

"I personally am a smartass." I have been called this too a few hundred times and I take it as a compliment, better a smartass than a dumbass. If someone just does not understand sarcasm, all the hints, emoticons, and out right warnings won't help. Just leave them in the still waters for the other dull and boring fishermen. When you meet the fish that not only strikes what your casting but can play along with you just enough to make the fishing fun, SET THE HOOK and reel her in. Oh, One more thing, watch out for Indigo's cue stick!!

The Constitution hasn’t changed; have Republicans? Posted: 1/30/2007 2:47:42 PM
I have always said that it is a wonder we can get anything accomplished in this government amidst all the civil war "Republicans VS. Democrats/ Democrats VS. Republicans. I just hope that they can both function like a typical domestic disturbance situation, kick the crap out of each other as a regular occurrence but somehow still seem to stand together against outside attacks. Imagine what would be accomplished if so much effort was not wasted on civil party wars. If the congress has the power to end this peace keeping mission in Iraq then why don't they do it they are Democratically controlled now. Unless they really don't believe what they are saying and it is just political verbal harassment of the opposite party. Yes, this is really not a war anymore it is a peace keeping mission to keep radical and terrorist regimes from overthrowing the struggling new government of Irak (spelling for all the John Kerry fans out there). The war was with Saddam and his Bath party and we already took them down. Oh, and we all know that if people disagreed with or posed a threat to the Clinton's they just died in suspicious crashes or mysteriously committed suicide or something. At least the Islamic radical groups take credit for their murders.

Ever date someone with BPD? (Borderline Personality Disorder) Posted: 1/25/2007 9:21:41 AM
Yes, I did for about two years, it ended for us about 5 years ago. If anyone truly wants info. or input on this just email me and ask. I did a lot of research on this disorder and it is not a laughing matter for those who think it's funny. I suppose you laugh at cripples, the blind, or mentally retarded as well. This is a very serious illness and a living HELL for those who suffer it or care about those who suffer with it. This is a self destructive mental illness that usually ends in suicide when they just can't take the torment any longer. Until then it is an illness which includes self mutilation, that's right CUTTING, BURNING, and BRUISING their own bodies. Sorry but there are no happy faces or laughter rolls on this post. It would take a real sick individual to laugh at BPD or any physical or mental disorder for that matter. My relationship with this woman taught me a lot and I would not trade the experiences I had with her but would never want to live in that world again. I have befriended many mentally handicapped persons and once you get past the mental illness symptoms they are some of the strongest and wisest people you will meet. I assure you that it is not an easy thing to be friends with the mentally tormented but behind the illness and torment are real people craving the love and attention we all need.

China tests new weapon. Shoots down Satellite Posted: 1/24/2007 7:32:58 AM
"The Republicans made a lot more money off the Chinese, my friend." Your comparing apples to oranges, legal trade business and buying classified info. from a traitor. BIG DIFFERENCE!! I do not claim to be a Republican or a Democrat and truthfully despise the party system but have not got much say in that matter. If idiots would quit defending their party and offending the other party maybe something could actually get accomplished. Given China's past and current performance on human rights I would not be giving them the leg up we are. I believe there are many great people in China but until they can replace they're current government with freedom they will always be an untrustworthy threat. I am glad to see the people of China emerging from poverty and gaining. I am not at all impressed with their government that is more concerned with exploiting their poverty level to make great profits of which most are not spent back on their people but are being spent to build bigger government. They hold the paper on world debt while their people are literally struggling to feed their families on mere pennies a day. Their people are beaten for getting together in a home to pray and worship God as they choose to. They have come a long way but have a long way to come and with the money they have made exploiting their cheap labor markets they could be still a major threat to the free world. They have shown time and again that they are willing to sell arms to people like Saddam.

China tests new weapon. Shoots down Satellite Posted: 1/23/2007 6:40:00 PM
China paid a lot of money for that technology to build those weapons, remember Bill Clinton's Chinese campaign contributors. They can't spend all that money and not show off their new toys. I don't for see any major conflicts between the US and China and think either would be foolish to invade the others turf. I do see China as an up and coming force that wants to be recognised by the other large world players.
