But, but, my car’s working just fine… So can I have chocolate chip…?
I’ll be your Tin-man, if you’ll be my Dorothy… Hey - Psyque - Scarecrow or Cowardly Lion…? The costumes are over there… Oh - I see Dr. S. has sacrificed Toto, bad Satanist [smack] you bad bad boy…
Tab: you may have one I said one, cookie
psyque: "There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home."
We’re off to see the wizard… or was that the gizzard? (Awwwwww, was that a piece of Toto?) Ben, arrest the evil-one with the red eyes and the bloody-thirsty lips. Miranda reading, I say.
(Pathetic? I will see you in creative writing Tabuuuuuuuuula-mon.)
My experience shows me that those who shout loudest are usually the biggest hypocrites: Eco-warriors ruining the planet with their travelling, anti-racists hating the rich, the whites, the straights, etc.
(I only whispered this.)
I am prejudiced against the conceited people who talk for the sake of talking, as if their talk gave justification for their presence. And towards people who are not tolerant and do not treat you as you treat them.
Unfairly perhaps, I am prejudiced against males’ self-importance, I do admit it. I did not use to be some time ago.
And towards people who are overcritical and find trivial mistakes unworthy of mentioning, which spoils one’s self-confidence. Amen
Bes,
I’m so sorry that you misunderstood my post. It certainly wasn’t directed at you. I read most of your posts Bessy, I don’t always respond to them, but I read them because you are open and honest and lighthearted which we all know we could certainly use around here at times. My post wasn’t directed at vortical either so whatever anyone might be thinking, don’t!
You asked for an honest report and I gave you one. I wasn’t referring to anyone who might flirt, or joke, or infer a point. I was referring to those of us that misguidedly use their sexuality disguised as intelligent thinking. Please if I have offended you (or anyone else) in anyway I really am very sorry. I clearly didn’t give my post enough thought.
Incidentally, I don’t offer this to strengthen my own argument just so we are clear, but as background to my own psychology for your understanding. I have lived as a hostess in Japan (feel free to conjure up any picture you may have of me). I don’t think this piece of information about me is particularly relevant to any discussion here and under normal circumstances would not even mention it, certainly I wouldn’t put it on my cv. My point: Is there a woman here who hasn’t used her sexuality in one way or another? As someone who takes my spiritual life VERY seriously I can honestly say FROM EXPERIENCE that using our sexuality in this way can only serve to harm us - psychologically, emotionally and even physically. I have learned to love and respect myself and I asure you this lesson hasn’t come easily. I offer this so that others don’t make the same mistakes as I have made and can put their energies into much more important matters.

[Beep…!] Wrong answer… Neither was mine 
I was on the Abortion thread too… 
Tab, you are too clever and very very naughty.
No. No No… I think the young kids here are fantastic! How could anyone knock young people who log on to a site called 'I love philosophy"? I love inquisitive people and I’m very impressed with people like you who jump in and add things to the conversation. But having been a trainer for many years, I think I have exhausted every patient bone in my body 
I now feel I want to hang with people who will teach me – that all.
Its not natural. Haven’t you learned that from your parents. They don’t know anything 
Yes, just don’t think I don’t like you (or young people) and I wont think you don’t like me When our interests collide… fantastic!
Not quite, I think I’m pretty good at picking up “vibes” — and you definitely don’t come across as an old man.
Several years ago, I joined a forum as a sexy young women. Wow, did I learn a lot about internet characters, role playing and power games. I think I played the part extremely well too… a little naughty and a lot of nice. I knew it had gone too far when I started dressing up in drag before logging on 
So, having said that, I don’t think you are an old man… Are you?
do i really come across as that much of an airhead (assuming you didnt know my age)?
wouldnt you like to know…
Thanks for your response, and I agree that using sex takes feminism a step back, but we are sexual beings and we have just as much right as men to express ourselves here and in life. At this site, I have taken it over the top for my own enjoyment, but girls will be girls.
