If when placed in water it sinks she's a girl, if it floats it's buoyant embarassed :wink:


@ Funkijunki
How about one who sinks is male one who swim a cross the ocean is female.


That would change the joke into an anecdote. I would have been allowed to write that in this section :wink:

I asked for a cigarette. She acted like id asked a kidney. I asked that we clear the air before we got back in the car. She didn't want to wait. We argued in the car going home. Halfway home i told her I'm taking my things and leaving.

There's no point messing about once your mind is made up. That's like picking at a scab.

Companionship is not love.


I agree but some crave it, because they are afraid of being alone. Then feel insecure when in a relationship with someone who seeks something deeper but doesn't come across as so "needy"

Love is different things to different people. Some want companionship or may want comoatibilty. To declare love at a very early stage would suggest it would be more companionship you seek. Campatibility usually takes a longer time to assess. Anyone can put on an act for a few weeks.

I hate the commercialism of the day. Absolutely despise it. However, I do love the feeling of the day. I still remember the happy feeling when you ask the girl you like "to be your Valentine" and she said yes. It was an awesome feeling then and having a woman who wants to be your Valentine now is still kinda awesome.


Love is a beautiful thing with the right one, there is nothing bad about val


Exactly! :thumbsup:



Asking mostly single and probably unhappy people about Valentine's day on a dating/social website seems like a good way to get a mostly negative response.


laugh I see that slaphead Silly me! tongue2

I'm sure there are still some of us that are positive and are hopeful to experience romance in our lives..... eventually whoa

bigsmile


I for one love Valentine's ❤ I send my mini and grandbaby a rose and candy and of course a new stuffed animal. We are Charlie Brown freaks so it's always an adventure finding something. Then we do a movie and dinner.

I'm sorry to hear of your past relationship problems. Rest assured, life does go on and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Just about anything can be used as a weapon.

If the state wants to provide me with a home chef at their expense they can have ALL my knives.

I am REPEATING a very old fact. " CRIMINALS can always get guns."
***** there you have it. Gun bans take weapons away from honest law-abiding people. Bad guys will have guns ANYWAY. I am against banning guns....but background checks should be complete.


Lets say just for argument's sake, The USA has a population 5 times greater than that of The UK.

How many gun massacres occurred in each of those countries last year?



This is not to say that the UK is perfect. Knife crime is at shocking levels and 2017 saw a massive rise in that - but despite the population of the USA being 6 times more than the UK, you are 160 times more likely to be killed by a gun.
http://www.ladbible.com/news/uk-politics-news-the-difference-in-gun-crime-in-the-uk-and-the-usa-20180306



Honestly though funky, I think it starts with the culture. I think every country has violence, without a doubt, because where there are humans, you can count on violence happening. However, I think the culture of the country, in terms of social responsibility for and to each other, makes a difference.

This is why I say that. There is a chart here that shows gun deaths and ownership by country

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate


Now, if we look at the number of guns, America out guns everyone. But still there are countries with less gun ownership and more gun violence. So, there isnt much correlation there.


Now, there are also many factors like civil unrest and war torn environments that may shade true correlation, so I look at only the 'civilized' Western countries. (I take issue with that determines being civilized, which is why I put that in quotes)

Looking at just the countries in Europe and North America, USA still outguns everyone. But like I said, there is no clear correlation between number of guns owned and the gun violence rate. What is an interesting difference though is this ... America has a very capitalist culture, each get their own, each protect their own, each responsible for themself. If we look at the healthcare, it is by and far universal in other 'civilized' countries, the citizens take care of each other and there is a sense that this is how it should be. Maybe that is indicative of the value of human life in those places. Whereas in the states, the value of human life is summed up by 'I got mine, you get yours, Im not responsible for you'

With that culture of highly promoted narcissist value by 'merit', I think you will have more people who can justify the taking of life, because more people feel like others lives dont have value unless they look or act a certain way, or have a certain title or status.


I dont think it is the guns but the toxic mixture of guns with OUR culture. And I think until the culture evolves, we are doing the best we can to ensure the right to gun ownership within a framework that tries to maintain order and security. I think we can do better. But I think it is too simple to JUST focus on the guns (kind of like JUST focusing on a wall) without seeing the different levels which are coming together to create the perfect storm.


Msharmony, Ive not tried to claim that we don't have our problems with crime in The UK. Yet again our knife crime problem has been brought up.

Knives are in every home here, there, the world over. They are utensils for the preparation of food etc. To ban knives would be pretty inconvenient for everybody, unless all our food came ready prepared.

The manner in which the British knife crime problem keeps being brought might convince a ignorant person that no one gets stabbed or slashed in The USA. However, I'm sure that's not the case. Please correct me if I'm mistaken in this belief.

Whilst I do live in England, I've traveled abroad and have fired handguns and various rifles during that time. Without any training I scored 97% accuracy throughout these trials. Now even with my vast experience of using knives almost everyday. I know I'm a much deadlier opponent with a gun/rifle at my disposal but I wouldn't wish to own one. The more guns that are available, the likelier innocent lives will be lost.

Surely those that choose to bring up The current knife crime problem we have here aren't trying to contest it wouldn't be an issue if gun ownership was commonplace in The Uk?

Bah humbug! frown


Aww Funky... I gather that means it's just another day to you? Or is there another reason you are poopooing the day?


I have issue with Valentine's Day for a few reasons.

a) There's the commercialism of it all, so disingenuous and so soon after we've had our pockets picked for Xmas!

b) This great day for lovers but why is it that men have once again been placed in a position where we're expected to make so much effort, whilst women enjoy the spoils? There's more than one prize in a good relationship.

c) If you feel the need to make a grand gesture on this particular day, you've probably been lacking in showing affection the rest of the year. Up your game! Likewise, if you feel your partner should make an effort, why for goodness sake are you still with them?

d) Nobody loves me sad sad sad

Paid dating sites are a rip off. Disposable income is not an indication of personality, integrity or intelligence.

I beg to differ. It is mostly people with higher levels of education and above average jobs that make a good income. Their education, interests in general, work and so on do say something about their personality and intelligence.
Sure there are exceptions to the rule, but that's a given.
Doesn't mean people with less disposable income have unpleasant personalities, but if you're looking for certain qualities like I am, you will sooner find them in people with higher education, who also have a better job because of that and so on.
Overall, there's a mentality difference in people with higher education and people with low education.


Yet here you are a long standing member of a free dating/social network site?

Higher education doesn't mean higher intelligence. A high powered job doesn't mean you're a good person. Often those who fit into those categories have over inflated egos. When in actual fact most of what theyve achieved can be attributed to mere luck.

Haha, I'm not here for the dating site option, I'm not looking for a partner here. I'm here cos I got to know the people and I like to communicate in English, and with people from another country/culture.
I even stayed here when I was in a relationship. I really come here for the forums, and the forums only. There's more people on here who are in a relationship, seeing someone and so on.
Being a long term member on Mingle is entirely different from another dating site.
When I was in a relationship I DID remove myself from those, not from Mingle though.
Also, when I first got here, I wasn't ready for a new relationship, I'd only just gotten out of an abusive one about half a year prior.
The main reason for me becoming a member was to keep my English up to speed as after I'd left my British partner, and not being an English teach anymore, it was going down the drain.
Sorry to debunk your rant.

High education does tend to come with higher intelligence. I already explained this thoroughly in my previous post.


My rant? :joy::thumbsup:
