When I was a Tech, I was canned for going out with a former patient; but the Director of the Mental Health Dept (MD) married a former patient and was unscathed. They even had a big party/reception that was attended by staff, friends, former patients, and **current in-patients**. But I get fired for a pizza and a movie.?

Is it possible to imagine something you haven't seen before? Is it possible to imagine something new that is not put together by pieces you already know, or can we only combine the existing things?

after reading some posts, it seems that many think people in small towns or rural areas in the US, are a bunch of bible thumping neanderthals, waiting in the brush to ambush outsiders. i wonder how many people with that view of small town america, have even been, stayed, lived, in a rural area.

in my town, we know everyone at least by sight. we don't bother each other, but we care about each other. we be there in a second if anyone needed help. that would include anyone new to our community. no one out here in neanderthal land, cares much about anything except the kind of person you are in our community.

i have to admit, i was pretty disappointed that fellow americans have such a negative view of rest of us.

I get lonely whenever I'm not around people, however, I always put myself in this situation. I have no idea why..it's like I want to be miserable by myself. I have no desire to maintain friendships and I push people away from me on purpose. Is there anyone else out there like this? Do I have some kind of disorder? I feel like I'm really unbalanced most of the time. I cry when I'm by myself alot even though I don't physically change the situation and go out with friends and do something. What's wrong with me?

If suddenly Jesus appears, will you be saved? Will you go to heaven or hell? What would you tell Jesus, if you found out that He was for real?
