sorry to but in, but i would rather people tell me the truth, rather than just agree with me. If your on here just to get people to agree with you (not you in particular, but everyone)then there is a problem with your thinking process. there is never anything wrong with asking questions, it's when people get mad at the answers.


You're not butting in, as it's a public forum. I think some people are here to get people to agree with them, as they need validation.

I ask questions because I want to understand more of what people are saying. If someone did not understand what I said in a particular post, I would expect them to ask me about it, rather than assume I meant something I didn't mean. I think it's silly to get upset about being questioned. But, not all people think that way.

I claim to be an a$$hole, which most people believe to be untrue...


Until I do or say something that makes them realize I really am but it's not personal.


I checked in the mirror. Mine looks so totally different. Hm.

I think thats more a product of people being complex than not being who they appear to be.


I think, that MsHarmony, very characteristically, hit the nail on the head again.

There is a chance that if a person "A" starts to try to describe himself or herself more accurately, then with each improvement in accuracy, he or she will change his or her profile into describing someone more and more that he or she is not.

I mean, there is a high probability, that if I, as well as anyone else, make my profile more accurate, it will be getting farther from how I really am.

This is the nature of man. Because even getting farther away from the truth with trying to get to the truth is not guaranteed. With trying to be more precise, you run the risk of giving a more accurate description of yourself.

The only thing that you have for sure, is the lack of control over how much your own description of yourself is going to give an accurat picture to a person other than youreself.

To complicate the matter, most everyone will get differing degrees of accuracy out of you profile. We read and see everything as we believe them, not as they are. Human nature again.

If this is confusing you a bit, then please you can try to get it straight with reading Hume, Bloch, Kant, Kerschell, Blimkrth, Schoppenhauer, or Nietzschlageressenmitwagendurfen.

I don't post on here that often anymore but it's still one of my go-to sites to hang out in the forums. I think I've been transparent about who I am on here.

I am a young, single Father who's a computer tech by trade and likes to play music. I'm pretty good at it too.

I deal with anxiety and depression and probably have a problem with the bottle, but at least I realize that and it's on my list of things to change for the better.

I am not perfect but I welcome any inquiries into my past or even background checks if asked of me by a potential partner.

My last girlfriend had a brother who worked for CSD and had access to background checks and ran me through before her and I got serious. I got his blessing since I have a clean record.

I don't see the point in lying about things. Eventually you will be found out as was the case for Keith (aka Lex Fonteyne).

I think who we are is clear in our posts, however we choose to describe ourself.

Its harder to fake for an extended time, in writing, what ones character is.


Character is one thing that is hard to fake.

A high IQ is another.

Claiming to know what god wants or thinks is a third.
--------------

Because a supposed god is of no Human character, although similar, god is the smartest with the largest recorded IQ, and we don't know, at all, what he wants or thinks.

Also, I'd have to wonder about someone who would tell me I'm paranoid if I wanted to see if they are who they portray themselves to be online. To me, that would be a red flag, as it would seem they're hiding something.



who is hiding what? some kind of conspiracy going on in here?


I was referring to MG's post about how someone asking are you who you say you are would mean someone's paranoid. I was wondering why asking that would make someone paranoid.


Hun, please don't take this wrong but the last 10 or so threads where you asked me questions after I made a comment turned into debates where people got on each others case I feel in a negative way. Personally I would just like to not be involved in that sort of thing, so if you don't mind I'm probably not going to answer stuff when I think it is going to go this way. It doesn't mean you are not a great gal, or that you do or don't bring up valid points, but personally it's just not my style. I hope you can respect this.
lolll i don't blame you bro cheers :thumbsup:


LOL, hey bro what's up? Yep, I'm out of the BS biz.

Since I am in business on the Internet being an artist and tarot card designer, I have quite a few websites and I sell my work on line. I am who I say I am.

Artist, designer, conspiracy theory fan, single, tarot card reader, 63 years old. (Make that 63 years young!)

That's me.flowerforyou


What's your stand on Human Sexuality? On abortion? On Partition (of Siamese twins)? On matters of faith vs. knowledge? What do you say "knowledge" is, or was, or used to be? Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the "Independent united front against all Junot decapitulation societies of America"? (Junot was a thousand-headed monster in Roman-Etruscan mythology.)

What is your favourite soap dish? Who do you think designed the best bridges over the Yellow River in China? Where did you put the theatre tickets? Who was your grandmother, if she indeed existed in four-dimensional space? Who is calling trump, and why Diamonds, why not Space?

A few inquiring minds would like to know where you stand on these issues, young lady.

Where you stand on the ground? How do you stand upright in these morally difficult times? Why did we not see any change whatsoever four days ago? why does the compass still point to the North? Who are we, and why are we here? Were we made, or did we just happen?

No you should not feel obligated to put out your personal information to the entire world. That is not really a good idea anyway. You should just be true to yourself, but that does not mean putting out all your personal information. You are just not obligated or required to do that.

This is a typical example of what's wrong with really, but really good advice.

this piece refers to a person who had just put her name, age, dob, etc. on this thread.

It is extremely important to know that that is not good practice. And this quote above says exactly that.

But. The information on the person's name, dob, etc, is out there. What use is this? For the person who has put it out there, the advice in quote is of no use. It is in fact, completely ineffectual or even moot. The information is already out there!! Whether the person takes the advice seriously, somewhat seriously, does not take the advice, or whatever, the info already in place won't change, won't disappear. This advice is not going to change the person's past behaviour, whereas it seems to me the advice tries to do that. The behaviour may change in the future, but not in the past. The past you can't change through advice.

Beware the cliched person who will say exactly what you want to hear!! Most everyone here is looking for that special someone....which leaves them exposed and vulnerable to any prick/a$$hole that wants to take advantage of that. I find throwing a few left fielders at them to be a pretty effective filter for sorting that out.

Oh and i don't have a lot of information in my profile for that exact reason. I figure chatting one on one or posting in the forums is a good way of learning about a person. Rather than giving them the information on a platter, so they can pick away at those vulnerable bits....but that's just me, and i'm paranoid like that. Considering recent events though....ya know? :wink:


Too bad... I like to hear the little pitter-patter of information on a plitter-platter.

It's because I never had kids... you feed them banana paste, or formula, you turn 'round to get the soap off the rack, and before you turn back... you hear the splitter-splatter of little food on your kitchen floor.

My grampa told me on his deathbed that grandma had been kinda wild... she was called the "spitter-spatter" of the village lovers.

No, in real life I hate horror movies and loooove Twilight.


My grampa, during his entire working life as the official state executionaire, would go into kindergarten classes and read magical tales to the wide-eyed treasures of our tomorrows, and that's how he compensated for the nittle-grittle of the drab everyday of his working life.

Then he would come home and make grandmother love until she screamed.

All that, and still before supper.

How is anyone to know that you really are who you say you are?

Although this question is one that women may ask men, I think that it applies to everyone.

Do you really think somebody is going to go on a site and say,
"no, I am not who I say I am." ?

But if I tell you who told me you might tell me who told you to throw me off the track. So, I think you ought to go to who told you and tell them to tell me that I told you what I heard them tell me. In turn they should tell me to tell you what you told me about them telling you what I told you too.

Well, I'm about as honest as you can get... I've had one speeding ticket in my life...other than that my life has been exciting sometimes and sometimes not..lol I recently met Iam4u (Terry) and he can vouch for me.. I have met a few others in person from here but they're not here anymore.. I know some people probably think I'm full of it but I have done many wild and crazy things in my life. I used to be able to put an auto engine together by myself at age 11 , frame a house and do the roof w/flashing on the chimney, lay block and brick, mix concrete by hand in a box, driven a race car, been over 200 mph in a dragster and given birth to an 11 lb baby girl...I just gave up my motorcycle as I don't feel safe driving it anymore because of the leg surgerys I've had recently..

You have to be very careful in whatever you do today as there are weird people out there everywhere...just use common sense..
