I Resign Posted: 10/14/2009 8:22:35 PM
I have seen this before but it does not lessen its impact. This is profound. I doubt if there are too many adults that would not like to be a kid again. However,the trick is not to long for yesterday but figuring out how to make today better. If you have to quit something,quit it. If you have to dump somebody,dump them. If you have to stop saying yes and start saying no or vice versa then do it. If you have to disappoint someone,disappoint them. If you have to say you are sorry,say it. If you have to get more sleep,find a way to get more sleep. If you have to eat better,find a way to do it. Whatever you have to do to make yourself happy,then do it. Money is not worth everything. It is not even worth your happiness. God bless.

why don't younger girls like dating older men Posted: 10/14/2009 5:40:00 PM
"well this is my trouble i look for younger women for the fact that i click alot better with them. " The truth is that a mature person should be able to click or get along with anybody because no matter how different they are from another person they should have at least some things in common with them or at least be tolerant or respectful enough to handle differences well. That is,unless somebody goes out of their way to be offensive or obnoxious. In that case,it is best to just try to have as little contact with them as possible. And,if a person cannot click with people their own age something is probably seriously wrong unless they are young but too mature for most of them. However,if you are old or older and cannot click with most people your own age something is most likely wrong with you. You are probably less mature than you should be for your age. Me? I can get along with anybody given they are either Christian or respect the fact that I am. If they can do that,any differences between us are just small potatos in terms of us being able to get along. I was on a job with one guy who just insisted on talking dirty all the time. Needles to say,we never clicked. God bless.

"How old of a guy do I need to date to make me a "younger" woman? " That is so funny. lol My answer? The exact same age of woman I would need to make me a younger man. I think one of my church members who is 59 but very fit would do. :-)

"You might change your profile to include women who are no younger than 33 to age 43... IMO most young 20 somethings are still learning who they are, and what they need." Most,but not all. Some are very mature,know who they are,know what they want,and know what they need. By excluding them you might be excluding a good potential mate. I know a very mature 2o something right now that is interested in me in spite of my age but the distance between us is a huge hindrance. Why is she interested? We have a lot in common or enough in common. For instance,in spite of her young age,she is not into partying. I never was and still am not. We are both Christians and our lifestyles reflect that. Besides,if you are a guy that has never had children and still has hope of having some (like myself) you definitely do not want to rule out much younger women even if most of them have ruled you out. Not all older guys who are willing to date much younger women are perverts but I think any older guy who only wants to date much younger women most likely is a pervert. There is definitely something not right about that. However,I do my best not to stand in judgment of other people. Take care.

Japanese Music Posted: 10/14/2009 4:04:13 AM
I love the music to the anime series "Inuyasha" as well as the series itself. I wish it had not been cancelled. The music and the series truly rocked my world. I am particularly crazy about the songs "Come" and "Every Heart". :-)

remembering song lyrics Posted: 10/14/2009 3:56:42 AM
You are correct,laktor. In order for me to really remember the words to songs I usually have to see them. Otherwise,no matter how many times I hear or listen to the song, I cannot remember all of the lyrics. Often,I cannot hardly remember any of them. It also helps me to remember the words to a song when it is actually one that I determine I will sing and do sing. I pretty much only remember all of the words to songs that I actually sing publicly. However,with the advent of karaoke websites I have found myself being lazy and reading the words while singing them to music as opposed to learning the words. Nevertheless,opportunities present themself when I absolutely have to know the words to a song. Thank God for that. Take care. p.s. I am WebAnt on YouTube. Check out my singing sometime.

favorite beatles song Posted: 10/14/2009 3:43:14 AM
"Eleanor Rigby". That song has a lot of meaning for me since I am one of those lonely people desiring a soul mate. Plus,I love the way it is sung and the music is just perfection. To me,that song is not just a song,but a masterpiece of lyrics put to music and voice.

For Musicians - Could you date a deaf person? Posted: 10/14/2009 3:29:47 AM
I love to sing and am rather good at it but I am not a professional. However,it would be difficult for me to date someone who could not properly appreciate what I love to do. However,if I could easily at least have meaningful and frequent conversations with them or easily communicate with them then that might be enough to offset their inability to appreciate my singing. That is because my love of talking is about equal to my love of singing. I do not think a musician wanting somebody that can hear their music is shallow at all. Music is just too important a part of their life and themself for them to be unable to share it with the person they love and whose opinion they might well value the most. God bless.

Am i dumb for wanting a older women? Posted: 7/8/2009 9:54:49 PM
"No, you are dumb however for not wanting to explore your life as a single person and find out who you are and instead just wanting to hook up with an older woman hoping everything will be different. If you are done with the games, then skip out on relationships for a while. Date around, sample some of the fish in the sea, try new things, expand to and explore new horizons." I disagree. If you at 19 are tired of going from woman to woman and want a serious relationship with somebody,you should go for it. If you do not want to be alone you do not have to be and you can discover yourself with somebody just as well as you can discover yourself alone. It is just a matter of hooking up with somebody that is not controlling and who will let you be yourself and do your thing. A person that will be supportive of you and not hinder you. There are plenty of people who married young and everything worked out perfect. (My mom got married at 18 and is still married to the same man,my father. She is now 69. She does not have to deal with the drama of having multiple baby daddies because her children are by one man,my father and her husband. Now isn't her life a lot neater than a lot of folks you know?) If you can only have the serious relationship you want with an older woman,so be it. Do not let anybody tell you you have to play the field or play around just because you are young. That is ridiculous advice especially if you fool around and knock up some chick you do not even really want or catch an STD or something. There is nothing wrong with monogamy at any age and there is nothing you can discover with many women that you cannot discover with one. All have the same equipment and are similar in a lot of ways and you can spend a lifetime just getting to know one woman especially if she is a woman of quality and is interesting. Take care and God bless.

Why do women post pictures of their breasts in thier profile? Posted: 7/8/2009 6:26:44 PM
I think that women are just trying to get attention and that guys like it whether they admit it or not. However,whether or not they like women that do that is another matter entirely. Those who like slutty type of women will be falling over themselves trying to contact them and those that do not will not. I am not saying that a woman is slutty if she does that but she sure looks slutty. So does a guy when he posts pictures of himself with his shirt off online. Just my opinion. God bless.

Interracial dating & single parents Posted: 7/8/2009 1:57:54 PM
Depending on how children of interracial couples are raised they can either grow up with an identity crisis or grow up with a great deal of tolerance and respect and even love for those who are different from themselves. Thinking that a child with interracial parents will somehow be messed up is ridiculous. However,if anyone has doubts that they would be able to instill in their children the same tolerance and love and respect that they have for all peoples which is shown by the fact they were willing to go outside their race for a mate,then by all means they should stick with dating and marrying members of their own race. Insecurity,fear,and uncertainty about how their interracial or children of other races will turn out may be an indication they would be making a big mistake trying to raise interracial or children of other races. Me myself? I would not have the least bit of concern concerning that. I know that I am a decent man and any children I raise would be decent unless they were just determined to be bad. Determined. God bless.

Where does it say - in the Bible - that pre-marital sex is restricted? Posted: 7/8/2009 1:34:38 PM
I think that anyone who reads all that was said here and still insists that the Bible does not condemn premarital sex is a sinner and in need of salvation. They do not want to know the truth or do what is right. They just want to get laid with someone other than their wife or husband and will say or do anything to justify doing that. God help them. God save them. God deliver them. God have mercy upon them. God stoke their consciences that they might feel guilty and repent and turn from their wicked ways. I am a celibate Christian man and that is all I have to say. Amen.

Christianity v. Alchoholism: Which is worse? Posted: 7/8/2009 1:20:03 PM
First,you have to believe that Christianity is a method of delusion. That is debatable. What is not debatable is the fact that many people have been delivered from alcoholism and a lot of other maladies as a result of becoming Christians. or submitting their lives to the God of the Christians So,I would definitely have to say that Christianity beats alcoholism any day of the week. :-)

German Official Wants nation wide Scientology Ban Posted: 7/8/2009 1:09:36 PM
"I don't think it will happen. Or at least I hope it doesn't. And for Germany with it's history of rights abuses, this is sad. Not that I'm in agreement with the CoS. Personal experiences with Scientology makes me cringe at the abuse of people and the lies and fluff science they use to manipulate, but the peop0le have a right to believe what they believe and it isn't the State's function to decide what is the "right' or "wrong" belief system, only to protect the rights of all to believe whatever they want to believe." I disagree. I think that if the beliefs of any particular religion or organization or whatever are actually a danger to the believers or others then it is the responsibility of any government to ban that religion. Freedom of religion at all costs is a ridiculous idea. What if the tenets of a particular religion call on it to violently oppose a government that does not abide by the tenants of that religion? Should the government not ban that religion though it is a threat? Of course not. Oh,and I am absolutely confident that there is nothing in modern Christianity that is a threat to anyone. For anyone to ban modern Christianity in any country is just plain evil. I cannot really speak concerning any other religions because I am not as familiar with what they teach or advocate. I do know that I have heard some disturbing things concerning Scientology though. God bless.

Do Jews, Christians and Muslims All Pray to the Same God? Posted: 7/8/2009 12:58:33 PM
They are definitely not all praying to the same God when they have strikingly different beliefs about who and what God is. As far as being open minded,that is impossible in Christianity. In Christianity or in the Bible of the Christians it is expressly stated that salvation can only come through believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God. Clearly,not all religions embrace this and therefore there is no way for a Christian to accept anything other than Christianity as being the only true or pure religion. In the mind of a Christian,all other faiths must be false. However,at no time should a Christian ever let that belief cause them to mistreat others in any way,shape,or fashion. It is not wrong to tell somebody they are wrong but it is wrong to try to punish someone for their religious beliefs unless they go against the laws of the land in which they live and those laws are just. God bless.

How come single mothers don't want single fathers Posted: 7/8/2009 12:28:49 PM
Sounds like you are okay with your situation and didn't really need feedback. The one observation I can make is that women who do not want men with kids may end up with some of the most rotten of men. Men that act like they do not have children but they have abandoned them. A man like that can never be trusted but a woman will trust them thinking they do not have kids. They will only find out his true character when they get pregnant and he dissapears like he has with so many other women. Sad.

I took a new approach; tell me what you think Posted: 7/8/2009 11:02:29 AM
First off,your pictures are really good. They show you to be very attractive from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. I think it is good that you said you are open to having kids because that increases your chance of finding a mate. A guy who do not want kids will see that that will not be a point of contention with you and so will a guy who does want kids. Your profile does a good job of communicating who you are and what you want. I could nit pick a few grammatical errors but to me that would be pointless. Anybody that wants a person to always write perfectly probably is crazy and/or anal and should be avoided. God bless.

Feel free to tear me apart. Posted: 7/8/2009 10:52:34 AM
I think that ambiguity should spark curiosity on at least some guys' parts and cause them to possibly e-mail you with questions. Also,the crazy stuff shows that you have a sense of humor and are interesting moreso than indicates you are crazy. In my opinion. I could be completely wrong. In that case,bollocks. :-P I think listing "walking around my apartment without my pants on" could cause what sun devil said but it also shows that you are able to really relax when at home and could be a joy for any guy who actually gets to witness you doing that. In the final analysis,if what you have in your profile really indicates the kind of person you are then you probably do not need to change anything except the main profile pic like sun devil suggested. God bless.

I'm not sure if I intimidate guys, or if I am just butt ugly Posted: 7/6/2009 6:04:17 PM
I am sure that by now you have been approached and probably all is well. However,if that is not the case,rest assured that your looks have nothing to do with it. Everyone is found to be attractive by someone. That,I can absolutely guarantee. However,one can always consider changing their look if they think that might be a problem and there is nothing wrong with showing guys you are interested in non-slutty ways. For instance,dropping the hint that you are single without being too obvious about it. That can be accomplished by saying something like "do you know where any good singles hangouts are?" Take care and God bless.

Do you think I'm being dishonest? Posted: 7/6/2009 5:12:59 AM
"It's almost as bad as people who put up three or four different pics of them at different builds (weights) and we're supposed to guess which pic really represents what they look like in the here and now." I disagree. As long as a person makes a current pic their main pic they are not being dishonest by posting pics of themselves when they were different sizes and even different ages. In my case,my weight goes up and down and I do not want any woman being disappointed by that later on because she did not know that about me. However, I never get really big or small. I just gain and lose enough to look older or younger. On that note,I better change my profile pic to a more recent one. Ahem.

One for the men out there who think women dont date nice guys Posted: 7/6/2009 5:03:04 AM
Ruby,I think that women want to date sexy,rich,and nice guys. However,far too often they will settle for just sexy or rich and say forget about nice. Unfortunately. Thank God you figured out what that guy was before you got too involved with him. Nice means what it has always meant. Just because people falsely claim to be nice does not mean that none are. However,with so many falsely claiming it it lets you know you better pay more attention to what a person does than says. You seem to have that down already though. :-) There is never an excuse for wanting shallowness. That is the desire of someone who has just given up on finding the right person and you know that quitters never win and winners never quit. The most concrete thing I know is that if you never give up on finding the right person you most likely will find them or they will find you. Eventually. It is just a matter of being patient and not getting discouraged. God bless. :-)

Are men on here really interested in marriage Posted: 7/6/2009 4:42:43 AM
I am. As a Christian man,I do not have any alternative but to marry if I can find the right woman or she finds me. Marriage is not scary except for those who are not ready for it. That would be those who are still committed to the idea of playing the field. Even those in committed long term relationships that are not leading to marriage have me wondering if somewhere in the back of their mind or maybe even the front they won't get married because it is a little easier to leave someone they are not married to if they get an itch. There is no way to approach the subject of marriage to someone without scaring them if marrried is the last thing they would ever want to be. All you can do is be upfront about it and know they are not right for you if they run away. All you can do is keep looking and hoping on and offline while being upfront about what you want. I hope that helped. God bless.

I would have to say the single most reason I am still single is that I have been too picky. I won't go into details because I would probably end up offending someone talking about the reasons I have not pursued some women. However,I am open to discussing this further in private with the right woman. For starters,she must be a Christian. Yeah,that criteria alone has drastically reduced the number of women I can date but what can I do. Heh. God bless.

I am beginning to wonder if this is why I am still single? Posted: 7/6/2009 3:47:21 AM
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/personal/07/01/tf.narcissim.keeping.you.single/index.html I think I am guilty of some of the same things the article talks about. I don't expect someone to be perfect ( there is no such thing). Is it really that bad that I would rather be single then settle for someone I am not that into? No. At the very least you should really be into someone you are involved with whether you have a whole lot in common or are complete opposites that attract. However,if you get my age and still are not married you might want to seriously consider if your standards have been too high. However,in my case it is not a matter of me thinking I am too good for a lot of women. It is a that a lot of them have just not been compatible with me in some way or another. I am a very unusual man and it will take a similarly unusual woman for me to click with. I know, a lot of folks say that but I am a downright weirdo but not in a bad way. For starters,I am a Christian. That alone drastically knocks down the number of women I can date. Maybe you have a similar limitor. Anyway,God bless.

Is a burrito a sandwich? Posted: 11/15/2006 7:17:43 AM
This is about the most stupid thing I have ever heard. How could Panera have possibly thought it was going to succeed in labeling a burrito as a sandwich? Most likely, like someone said, Pantera was trying to make Qdoba waste valuable resources via our court system. There needs to be serious legal reform in America. It should be that if you sue somebody and you lose, you have to pay all of their court and lawyer fees. However, the reason this has not happened is that it would result in fewer lawsuits and fewer money for those that profit from them. Lawyers. You better believe their lobby is responsible for laws not being passed to ensure that those who lose pay for all the expenses of those whom they sue.

San Francisco School board votes to dump JROTC program Posted: 11/15/2006 6:32:57 AM
I am feeling conflicted here. Clearly this is a slight against the military that is far worse than what John kerry said. On the other hand, whatever can be done to discourage young people from joining the military and possibly getting sent to Iraq or some other hellhole is a good thing. Plus the fact that the military discriminates against gays really is a good reason to kick it out of schools. School is not a place where kids should be encouraged in having prejudicial atttitudes and behaviors and that is something the military clearly does with gays. Ultimately, I have to side with the school board on this one. I am fairly certain that the race being made a factor in where kids are sent to school resolution most likely is something that is designed to help disadvantaged minorities. I cannot imagine it is for the purpose of hurting them in any way.

Not really, Mr. Smith. Some of these young ladies are looking for nothing but companionship of either a long term or short term nature. If you do not meet their criteria, it is in their minds a waste of time for them to talk to you. You are not what they are looking for. Sometimes it seems that it takes them a while to figure that out. I was actually e-mailing one and she was e-mailing me back. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped e-mailing me without any explanation at all. She cut me off at the knees. I did not like it, I thought it was rude and unfeeling, but then I read a post by her in another thread. She made it quite clear that she feels uncomfortable telling someone she does not like them and much prefers just leaving them hanging. She felt that was nicer but it is not. All it does is leave a person wondering why somebody did not want them. What one can imagine as reasons why are more likely to be worse than the real reason(s). I think leaving someone hanging like that is more about doing what is best for them as opposed to not wanting to hurt someone's feelings. It is the behavior of a selfish and self centered person and that is not someone I would have wanted to be involved with anyway. Take care.

Smith,she does not care. If she is not accepting e-mails from anyone in your age range, she does not even want to be friends with them. Cheer up though. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, so to speak.

GANGSTA LANGUAGE LAME OR COOL ? Posted: 8/15/2005 6:52:27 PM
Panther, I am sure rappers and those who are into rap would appreciate it more if people like yourself could find it within themselves to look past the violence and vulgarity and try to understand the messages gangsta rappers are trying to convey. Gangsta rap expresses a reality that most Blacks are familiar with and it is a reality that is not pleasant. It is a reality that involves such things as too many brothers getting locked up for whatever reasons including what I perceive to be a racist judicial system as well as criminality on their parts, too many drugs being sold and used, too many prositutes hainging out on street corners, too many churches taking the people's money and doing nothing to make their communities better, too much violence or such things as drive by shootings in which not only gang bangers are killed but good folks are killed as well, too many brothers dying young, too many brothers being harrrassed by the police who in many Black communities do anything but serve and protect, etc. For many it is easier to criticize rap and rappers than it is to tackle some of the problems they rap about and that is a great failing on their part. A great failing.

2 jurors believed Michael Jackson actually was guilty Posted: 8/15/2005 6:29:39 PM
From what I have observed concerning racists, they are anything but indifferent. As a matter of fact, they tend to care too much about things that are not even important. Like, for instance, the color of a person's skin as opposed to the content of their character. Saying you are an oxymoron like an "indifferent racist" makes me think, off hand, that they have no idea what they are talking about. I sincerely hope, for your sake, that is the case. In my opinion, no one is more stressed out than a person that is constantly hating on folks for something that they cannot even change and for doing absolutely nothing to them. I equate racism withh insanity and think that all racists should be on nut farms. Excuse me,that is politically incorrect. I meant mental institutions. Take care. :-)

They are both so full of it, in my opinion. I do not buy what they are saying at all. At one point int that article one of them says the other jurors are responsible for letting a pedophile go, conveniently overlooking the fact that they failed to vote him guilty themself. They are so full of it. They are both out to make some bucks at any cost. Pathetic.

Poems Of Hope And Faith (Never Give Up) Posted: 6/14/2005 4:45:26 PM
This present darkness that's in the world, That blinds the lost to dangers that swirl, Around them threatening to end their lives, Before they meet Christ in whom safety lies, Cannot withstand God's awesome power, In the very self-same hour, When a sinner his soul to God doth yield, And his hope in Christ he begins to build.

koran desicration: call for death? Posted: 6/6/2005 5:23:23 PM
I think Saddam was worse than the leaders of Kuwait. You do not think so? I am sure the US would at least try to encourage the leaders of Kuwait to move towards democracy and freedom if the Kuwaiti people started demonstrating for democracy but I do not think it would do anything more than that unless the Kuwaiti government started massacring the protestors or something like that. In that case, the US and a number of other countries would probably attempt to impose some economic sanctions on Kuwait the way they did with Iraq when Saddam was out of control. What the US would not and could not afford to do is support a brutal dictatorship at this time. It could not afford to hurt its reputation any worse than it already has been tarnished and absolutely would take diplomatic and economic action against the Kuwaiti government. The US is determined to paint itself as the bringer of democracy and freedom to the Middle East and it would take action to protect what exists of that image. Have no doubt about that. We need the oil of Kuwait but Kuwait needs us and other countries to buy it too. A boycott would be devastating to Kuwait but Americans could afford to pay a little more for their gas if the US had to go elsewhere for oil. I am sure the Bush administration and the Kuwaiti government knows all this too. The last thing the Kuwaiti government wants to do is be seen as being horrible to its people. If its people started protesting, concessions would be made. You can be sure of that. Heck, even Syria is trying to mend fences with the US and it has been helping the insurgency in Iraq. With that being the case, how can anyone think the Kuwaiti government would be unresponsive to pressure from the US and its allies to give its people more freedom if its citizens started protesting?

Coati,I think that Newsweek was moreso mortified by the killings that resulted from its report than the Bush administration. It did not forsee people dying as a result of its report but I am sure it knew the Bush administration would not be pleased. It reported the story anyway. That should tell you something.
