I've noticed the need for an internet version of Miss Manners, so here I am. These are some basic guidelines to help keep things pleasant for everyone:
1) Don't SHOUT! Typing in all caps is the equivalent of yelling, and is considered very rude and offensive. It is okay to type a short word or phrase in all caps for emphasis, but not entire sentenses.
2) Be careful of your influence on other people's children. You've heard the saying "It takes a village to raise a child." We are all responsible for what we say that influences the way that children view the world. We need to be careful with that responsibility. If we aren't sure, we should err on the side of caution.
3) Be careful with humor. Without visual cues to tell someone that we are being sarcastic or funny, they may not understand and may be unintentionally offended. When in doubt, use emoticons or lol for clarification.
4) Be respectful. Everyone has the right to their opinion. Try to state yours kindly.
Anything Else?

I live in a mobile home park because I cannot afford to spend between $400-$600k on a home. I feel like I'm throwing my money away when I rent, at least with a mobile home, I'll get something back if I ever want to move. My house is made of wood and I have to maintain the yard to the management's liking or I get fined or kicked out. My neighbors are normal working class families just trying to get by. Everyone I know now considers me white trash for living in a mobile home park. I don't tell anyone where I live now because I'm embarassed.

I think we should start referring a farting, passing gas, breaking wind, etc. To a "poo poo kiss". Who's with me?
Think about it, next time your girlfriend gets upset with you for farting in ver vicinity, you can simple state: "Baby, I'm blowing you a poo poo kiss...."

Who's with me?

First of all, I'm sorry for my poor English. I'm a Japanese living in Japan.
But I can't help asking you all over the world a question.
Is it really unavoidable for us to taking money from others on purpose?

I think that we make our living selling something to others on condition that we take interests from them.
I think that my property is mine and others' are theirs.
I wonder why I must plan to take others'.
When I give something to my brother or a friend of mine or a neighbor or a visitor, or when I help them, I don't plan to take money from them.
I think that you also don't.
I mean liking not for righteousness but for friendship.
And I think that it is natural for them to administer their own property.
But is it really unavoidable for me to taking money from others on purpose for my need of living as people say?
