The following is a conversation that I had with someone last night. I’ve abridged it in the interest of space, presenting the talking points :

Her : “There is no such thing as right or wrong.”

Me : “A man walks up right now and murders your dog. Is that wrong?” [We were at a dog park with our dogs at the time of the conversation.]

Her : “No.”

Me : “You’re walking home, and a stranger grabs you and rapes you. Is that wrong?”

Her : “No. Both of those are experiences that needed to happen.”

I went on to ask her, point blank, if she has taken a lot of drugs in her life. She acknowledged that she smokes marijuana on a regular basis, but I don’t attribute her comments to smoking pot. I also asked her religion. She stated that she believed in Christ, had strong faith, but wasn't a Christian. She labeled herself a polytheist.

So, I ask you, good people of R&S : Does this woman display Christ-like tendencies for forgiveness, or is she a clinical sociopath?

Especially when two people want to get into a relationship together ... When one is a Catholic and the other is an Atheist?

As for as my experience is concerned, I don't see any person 100% good. Also the human character changes only due to circumstances, situation and habitants.

Must be too early to drink. No one is humorous today.

I'm sorry I keep asking these this time for whatever reason I randomly cant sleep at night... lol... Some of you who already know my other questions know i'm trying just to figure out a way to START my transition, so.... this is kinda jumping the gun but... its been bothering me for some time. About 'dilating' to keep the... well you know to keep the girl parts from closing up? Is this something that you do for a few months? A few years? It doesn't really change my decision but it scares me a little if it has to be for the rest of your life... i'll feel like it is always closing or something I dunno... hope i'm not annoying everyone with all my questions lol.

This is a piggy back onto a question that was asked by another user. Apparently, a number of people feel that irrefutable facts CAN be racist. I'm interested in knowing how this can be. In my mind, irrefutable facts are irrefutable facts that are what they are. The only place that racism could possibly enter into the picture is in the delivery of aforementioned facts which does not make the facts themselves racist nor does it negate them. Certainly, it's not enough to know a fact without researching the underlying reasons why but that wasn't part of the question. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

This question is not race specific either, this applys to whites, hispanics, blacks, asians, and indians who live in section 8 housing areas. It appaulls me to think a person will provide a statement to the government that they cannot afford housing, but then can magically afford $1000 a month for a 2008 Mercedes or BMW.

Some people are just silly.

I believe that reality TV will suck the spiritual life out of the world and leave us with a society that does not send criminals away but will simply vote them off the continent.

So, you stole that thing Mr. Dork? Well, we're going to vote you off. Pack up your stuff and leave. You will not be America's next top citizen.

I also believe that aliens will pick up on our broadcasts and decide to destroy us because they will fear our reality TV signals by mistaking them for real life on the planet.

Agree or Disagree?

for real, I was on a bit of a car trip the other day and I had to sit in the back with this lady I had just met and she was obviously scared of me. she wouldn't even look at me!!!! I tried talking to her and every time I did she would inch away and look out the window with a face of stone.

I mean c'mon first off she wasn't even good looking and second off what are these people thinking...just because I'm a homosexual that I'll make it my life mission to convert them...I mean grow up...


it's like they think I'm gonna jump out of the bushes and have my way with them...


I just don't get it...why are straight women so put off by me?? I mean what did I do????????!?!?!?!?

Personally, I've always thought that peace is impossible. For as long as life exists, there will be conflict, as creature battles creature for survival. Even within ourselves, our bodies fight battles of their own, against disease, or against the blade of betrayal, loneliness and anxiety. Peace is impossible.
