When I was 5 we lived next door to my grandparents who owned enough property to have livestock. They purchased a young calf that I was allowed to name (Bluebell, because her dark coat looked blue in the sun. What can I say.. I was 5!) Sad now to say, but I was nearly 30 years old before I figured out that Bluebell did not run away from home. Bluebell bit the dust sometime in the fall, and I probably enjoyed Bluebell all winter.
25 years I believed that story of the runaway calf ! Gullible? I am decently certain that if you look it up in the dictionary, my picture is in there!

No I am sorry but I am quite a good judge of people and have never been gullible with an individual. But I have been with big business I.E. banks they have tried to rip me off a few times. The first time I stood for it the second time I got my money back as the old saying goes once bitten twice shy!

I once saw something in the night sky that beamed an amazing light as it plassed me overhead. I waved as it passed by thinking it was a profound moment and a friendly wave from ET folk for quite a while
I later found out satellites when they pass you directly overhead display the medidian point of reflection where sunlight from the other side of the globe catch's the body of the satellite
I prefered my ET moment but thank you science (I suppose)

Yeah, loads of times, but the one that sticks in my mind is when my dad sent me 5 miles away to my Uncles to ask for a long wait, and yes, I did. Oh my god how gullible is that x (he also told me that the giggling pin had gone in my car) I believed that too.....

Open mind...
learn about different cultures and trying to see things in other people's eyes, try to be friends with gays and bi-sexuals (even though you are not one yourself), listen to music of genres that you may not have tried at first etc. Try new things in general.
I have never been gullible since I was able to see things in other people's eyes.

Yes, I was once & I could kick myself, but one can't go back, so I call it one of life's lessons. I trusted in a man & should have paid close attention when the red flags went up within the first week of getting to know him, but I was looking for the good in him & ignored those signs & wound up hurt very deeply. It took me a long time to trust but in time, I was able to.

Yeah, sometimes i've been really gullible.
keeping one's mind open may be very useful.. yet It's important not to confuse opennes of mind with moral relativism.
the second one is the father and shallow excuse for any fully conscious perversion
suerte

Oh, yeah. I remember when I used to think that there is hope for the human race. Man, was I young and naive...
But I guess that's what living in a cesspool like Toronto does to you. Remember, like drugs, say "no" to Toronto.
