That's kinda what I said.. only you said it more eloquently and in more depth.. I am trying to avoid depth these days.. and trying to say things succinctly.. you reminded me of how I used to be :)
Nope I will still settle for more and more of what I like.. I am an all or nothing person.. so if I like something I like it a lot. But yes I can see that sometimes the best thing for us is the opposite of what we want

I know human nature is as it is.. but I got to wondering.. how much more we could all achieve if we really did stop focusing in a negative way on differences..
But I wonder.. are we more the same than we are different? DO we all care, and cry and love and laugh.. aren't those things more important than finding ways we are different and using those differences to hurt and humiliate?
Yes, totally.., I have kind of given up hope on this one.. all the lessons that are there to be learned aren't being learned.. I feel a little despairing.. what WILL it take?

I think on this one we cannot just change it.. this is one that's fact.. There are some things however that people 'believe' to be fact but cannot prove that to be so.. it's just their opinion.

I think genuine sociopaths don't have a conscience, they believe they have a right to do things and don't believe they are doing wrong,.. so that would probably mean they can pass a lie detector

I felt so ill the next day that I thought I would die.. it was horrible and I didn't care to repeat the experience for a long time.. It was 3 decades or so before I tried getting drunk again.. again intentional.. an experiment.. and quite an interesting one at that.. but ultimately not as good as I thought and I became very unwell in the early hours of the morning... violently sick and was ill all next day.. Needless to say I won't be repeating the experience and am quite lucky in that I can drink a fair bit and know the point where I need to stop to avoid being actually drunk. less

This is where the devil's advocate bit comes in.. here in Britland we have had a fair bit of debate around whether the victim's sexual history and current activity should be considered as part of the evidence. My opinion is no... because it wouldn't matter if a woman were a prostitute, she should still have the right to say no and should still be protected from rape. If we are to follow that line then in theory the man's sex life at the time/past isn't relevant either? Or is it? If he had a history of raping that would be relevant? I struggle with this one.. not really sure less

So that was the first time I saw him read something for himself and love it..

For me it came from a Netflix series.. There was a large amount of corruption leading to injustices.. I really hate injustice, I have a problem with it.. People made, what I consider bad choices.. which betrayed others.. And that never sits comfortably... But I began to question.. if I were in their position.. would I do the same? I'd hope not but can I really know? I can't, I cannot know their life history, their experiences and the things that led them to betray.. I felt very down about all this.. I hate to think that people are so easily corruptable.. where's moral fibre gone.. .where's loyalty.. but if I cannot guarantee that I wouldn't do the same, say to protect my family... and I am as bad as them... then surely I cannot judge others for their betrayals? Their lack of loyalty? I talked to my current counsellor about it.. He said that to betray, to be corruptable.... less

The only times it has bothered me is when people have misinterpreted something and then start ranting and raving and being mean to me.. I can sometimes be surprised at that.. But generally no, it doesn't bother me.. it's interesting the wide variations in how people reply.. I wouldn't ever want to restrict creativity and spontaneity

I felt so ill the next day that I thought I would die.. it was horrible and I didn't care to repeat the experience for a long time.. It was 3 decades or so before I tried getting drunk again.. again intentional.. an experiment.. and quite an interesting one at that.. but ultimately not as good as I thought and I became very unwell in the early hours of the morning... violently sick and was ill all next day.. Needless to say I won't be repeating the experience and am quite lucky in that I can drink a fair bit and know the point where I need to stop to avoid being actually drunk. less

BUT, there were two men I loved who betrayed me horribly... I did *know* they were capable of it.. but preferred to believe they wouldn't do that - I was wrong and it did throw me completely.. But generally speaking I am good at reading people.. I think once I get too close to them it becomes harder to read them because feelings get involved

I felt he was probably right.. and I know I have.. not necessarily stuff of my choosing but experiences that left a scar, no matter how hard I tried to avoid it doing so.. The world and life and all the scummy things that happen weigh down upon us.. bow us down a little.. SO yea, I am encumbered.. like most of us.. LOl I don't even have any dimples to save me but I do have a little charm and a great sense of humour that seems to help me survive :) less

Others we lose touch, I have had colleagues, (not my current lot!!!) that I was very close to, who I still miss and feel fondly towards but who, because we no longer work together have lost touch... Most of my family I am not really in touch with.. no big fight but we just don't have anything in common.. I do feel sad about it

In recent times we have more evidence of some of the species that have become extinct because they were recorded. Even so there may be many countless species we had not discovered, even recently, that have subsequently become extinct.

No, I wouldn't hire someone who loses their temper in an interview; it's unprofessional and indicates someone who doesn't know how to behave.

This is where the devil's advocate bit comes in.. here in Britland we have had a fair bit of debate around whether the victim's sexual history and current activity should be considered as part of the evidence. My opinion is no... because it wouldn't matter if a woman were a prostitute, she should still have the right to say no and should still be protected from rape. If we are to follow that line then in theory the man's sex life at the time/past isn't relevant either? Or is it? If he had a history of raping that would be relevant? I struggle with this one.. not really sure less

Video recorded test for my course, loathed it, awful.. Paper tests, nasty.. When I was ill and subsequently, I have had a fair few medical tests.. all highly undignified and most of them downright uncomfortable or even painful... I can't think of one test I like..

I am not sure I have ever thought of wishing to entertain others with my answers but I can see that might be a factor where we know others may see.. I think I was just thinking.. sometimes, wouldn't it be nice to just say yes, or no? And then I was thinking, but really, aren't most of us here because we do like to elaborate? This site, for all its good and bad is definitely one of the more intelligent sites I have ever been on
