I belong in the state of confusion, if I'm not confused, I'm confusing someone else just to mess with them. Guess that's anti-order in its own way.

And I prefer s'more waffles. :laughing:

I was raised with a father who would have beat the oppositional defiance out of me and rightfully so. There are often very good reasons to do what you are told to do.


That was a real douser in my childhood. If a rule was good, they did not have to beat it into me, I followed it voluntarily. If a rule was stupid, no amount of beating would reform me to be compliant.

Basically my life was one long line of severe beatings alternating with medals for achievement.

Mom was different -- she always was good to me, and she could make me do things like wash the toilet or run down to buy groceries or -- Heavens!! -- do my homework for school. She just had to ask -- and stupidity or anything else was no longer a concnern at all for the excutability of the task. She asked, I did it. That simple. For her love, for her providence, for her being my guardian angel. Oh, please, I am going to break down crying.

She died when I was thirteen.

If you view me and my life vis-a-vis everyone else but Mom, then it's safe to say that Jesus on the last Day of Judgement will send me to both Heaven and Hell at the same time and in the same respect.

This is one of the reasons Jews have a wobbly opinion of Christianity. Jesus, pointing in one direction or another, after just glancing at each guy in the front of the line-up, reminds us too much of Dr. Mengele, who had similar methods to decide if one should live or one should die.

When I'm told not to do something I immediately want to do it. Like censorship. I don't really think about swearing until someone tells me I can't, then I become very ****ing frustrated with this restriction.

Do you have control over your life? Are you naturally opposed to the established order? Where do you belong?

Do you like s'mores?


Oh,I am a complete rebel. The more someone says I am not allowed to do something; the more I will do the opposite. Hate being told what to do; had enough of that in the military. Nope, don't eat smores; not healthy enough for me. pitchfork

I don't have to be told what to do/not to do, I do it my way and don't pay any mind to others. I'm not afraid of walking my own path, whether in the direction of the herd or against it.

Heck no to smores.

I'm pretty good at bending the rules, this done in a respectful manner that won't necessarily affect anyone else... There's a level of selfishness attained by the anarchist that I don't quite understand, or the thought of "I'll do it my way no matter what"....I just don't get.
We're living together on this massive planet and it seems everyone is jockeying for priority and positioning for attention or reward.

In a business sense, I accept the local mechanics decision not to declare all his earnings for taxation. I know it's not right, but I've endured so much abuse by a mismanaged government myself, I understand the reasons behind it.

In a ECO sense, I don't accept a local poacher taking more wildlife than is needed to feed his family. He can be unemployed with 15 mouths to feed... I don't care, if he sells one ounce of meat to anyone... I'd gladly pop a cap in his arse myself and be done with the ECO-Terrorists.

No clue what a smores is ohwell

Oh, Sir John, a smore is a marshmallow on a stick over a flaming campfire. Once the marshmallow is burst into flame, it is quickly extinguished (variations include no flame, but mild toasting color according to tastes) and then placed atop half a hershey bar, squarely placed atop a half a graham cracker. The other half of the hershey bar is pushed on top of the marshmallow and then the other half of the cracker. At this time, the stick is usually removed easily as the pressure from top and bottom cracker will hold the marshmallow in place nicely.

The result is a bit of oozing choclate and a sticky mess well worth the effort to a typical scout around 8-12 yrs old.


Well now, sure sounds delish... So it's a :thumbsup:
