"Oh that's rich." (sometimes with an explanation point.)
Does it have something to do with takeing the moral high ground or hypocrisy?

I visualize time like a fairly (but not quite) straight line running from the left to the right. Maybe this is because I am brought up in a culture where we write left-to-right, so the beginning is always to the far left? The year is round, with January at the far left of the circle. It's harder to understand why I visualize the 19th century as greyish blue (like Mondays!) and the 1920's, 1960's and Tuesdays as yellow etc etc...

I've been involved in sociology lately and researching many topics overall. Lately, I've been doing some research on White Nationalists. Some of their views are shockingly irrational or just plain wrong.

Anyway, just out of curiosity, what percentage of Western society do you feel comprises of people who have these viewpoints? Less than one percent, I hope?

I have dealt with a lot of people who blame their behavior on their parents and how they were raised. So I guess I just want to know why people allow that as an okay response? I think there is a point and time where people should be able to say, "I did this because, I wanted to, not because of who I am or how I was raised."

A sexy woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub...She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately.

She seductively signalled that he should bring his face closer to
hers… As he did, she gently caressed his full beard.
"Are you the manager?" she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands. "Actually, no," he replied.

"Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she said, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.
"I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes. I need for you to give him a message," she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lips and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.

"What should I tell him?" the bartender managed to say.

"Tell him," she whispered,

"there's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies
room."

I am a quiet person. I like 1 on 1 discussions. I'm someone that rather listens than talk. So, I'm not the one to yell Hi with a big smile on my face, grab people by the shoulders and ask "how are you"! But I still want to make a good first impression!

99.9%! of you will not get this even after i explain below..so just read the amazon reviews for the book ON HAVING NO HEAD, or better still read the book.

up to a certain age we dont have a self image..we are just infinite little creatures...but then by the repeated use of mirrors, we begin to construct or fabricate a false head on top of our necks....we are trying to put [with our imagination] one of those things on the top of our necks that we[from the outside] see other people have on the top of theirs.
the only thing is we are seeing theirs from an onlookers vantage point and they are doing the same: visualizing someone elses head from an onlookers vantage point and sticking that outsiders viewpoint imaginary head on top of their neck.
the true first person experience of what is really on the top of your neck is infinte space, unblemished..crystal clear, and as the author douglas harding says, it the radical cure for any real or imagined facial blemish or disfigurement.

if you say " I am sorry" when they are telling you something that it means you are accepting blame? I often say I am sorry to people and have my entiore life, even when I have not done something wrong. I was raised with values, ethics and morals. I was taught compassion, empathy and understandingness. When someone tells me about a bad event, or some unpleasant thing I say I am sorry indicating a sense of sorryfullness for the situation for their pain for the road not being smooth for them at that point. Just as people ask questions for differnt reasons, it is not always to seek knowledge. Saying one is sorry also, is not about accepting blame. What has happened over the years to change good manners into a black and white right or wrong world. I do not plan on loosing by empathetic nature but I sure wish people would understand this more deeply.

When someone does drugs, they get addicted. For some people it becomes such a problem that they lose almost everything. Why don't these people just quit doing them? I mean, when that person is sober, don't they realize what's going on around them? Don't they realize they are ruining their lives and those that love them?

I had experienced what they called mental illness many years ago, it has turned out to be enlightenment.
The 'illness' enabled me to see how wonderful everything was, to feel a strong love for everyone, it persuaded me to give loads of my stuff in the street, and spend money like water.
Now that wonderful feeling has been absorbed by my normal personality, and my problem is that whenever I go into a shop, I see loads of beautiful things, and I cannot afford to buy all I want.
What should I do?

Ok, this survey is to address a potentially creative solution to the dilemmas of society. Ladies, do you think it should be fair that you should have fair reign over your man, and if you think he needs a good kick in the nuts, you should be allowed to do it? For whatever you think the reason might be: cuz your frustrated. cuz you're pms'ing, cuz you don't like something he did, or even just cuz. Of course with such a privelege, it would mean that he's not allowed to come chasing you after the kick. What do you think?
