What`s worse than your friend going born again?

No "X" is just a pseudonym. I didn`t want to put her name up here or use her initial which is "I"

Dont have to be nasty about it, or even say anything to your friend - simply let her drift away a little. If she cares about the relationship with you, she will at some point ask - if it feels like the right time, talk about it then . It is easy to be busy when someone you dont want to see is ...

Online dating, are you ladies asking for too much?
KateP2019 comments on May 6, 2019:
I am a 62-year-old woman who is doing a bit of online looking. Not dating, because I have not found a single guy to date yet, in 2 months of looking. The only men who have contacted me so far were scammers.

He is a Christian.
He is not between 58 and ...
273kelvin replies on May 7, 2019:
I hear you and your not the only lady who has commented thus. However, I get a lot of comments/posts from guys who have the same problems. Take myself as an example, I am single, creative and can string a sentence together. Okay, I am a bit quirky, not a "type". Most of the women do not respond to my messages. Then those that do stop talking after the 1st or 2nd response. Nearly all of them a very beige, ie. "I love my family, walking the dog, eating out/in" or worse "fill in later". Lots of them have filters set either at their age or just 2 years older. Some, (who should take a realistic look at their profile) have them set at 10 -16 years younger.
Nearly all of the horror stories you hear about internet dating. The ones that end up as a judge Judy type of scam, are from people who have dated out of their league. Someone who is probably younger and definitely better looking. This applies to both sexes.
Brw. I just glanced at your profile and if we were on the same page of the map? Then I would have messaged you x

One glance in the mirror and I was reminded of a safety match. The kind of a look that can end any form of sexual; relationship for good. Like a guy just wearing socks.
I think your face mask although a little scary has something to it. You could break into my bedroom any night x

We are a broad church on this site. We can discuss a wide range of subjects. Some will be to your tastes and some not but when you block, you limit your vision.

@Robecology "Bubble" is a fair description. Okay let us assume that as in TCorCMs case someone blocks just because of a trivial disagreement over musical tastes. How much potentially useful, interesting and engaging future content is lost to them? Moreover if that person persists in blocking over very minor disagreements, then their world view will naturally become more narrow. We do not increase our understanding by decreasing our potential input. Taken to its nth it does become a bubble albeit with lots of cat videos.

@LimeySteve I have learnt the hard way by my post that just because you believe something to be true does not make it right for you to say it. Yes I did believe that lady was punching above her weight in wanting a relationship with someone 10 years or more younger than her. Did that make it right for me to post it? No and that is why I said sorry and deleted it.
There could be other things I believe to be true that it would not be appropriate to say. I could for example think that someone was a patronising, self righteous, judgemental, holier than tho, so and so, with their head so far up their own backside that they cannot conceive that they might ever have put a foot wrong themselves but that would be too rude and uncivil to post.

I can see the point from the other side. As in the christian right being pro-life but support the death penalty. As for your point? It does not hold water. A convicted murderer, however heinous their crime. Is a living breathing human being. Whereas a fetus is just a potential human being.

@Bobby9 An acorn is just that, It is not a tree, a table or a door. it has only the potential to become those things and only under the right conditions.

Dear Singles
last night I posted something that was unkind and very ungallant.
Corvislover comments on Apr 10, 2019:
I for one dont accept your irresponsible behavior. If you did this drunk you just needed liquid courage to do what you feel already. No guise of intoxication is an excuse for tearing down others.
As a professional mental health clinician I highly recommend you seek help.
273kelvin replies on Apr 13, 2019:
@Corvislover, @LimeySteve What posted was a picture of a not very physically attractive person or flattering photo, who was looking to have a relationship with someone 10 years or more their junior. I was wrong to post this and I have apologised for so doing. However I must say that how many of us have not thought this about profiles that we look at? if I were to say that I am only looking for a 32 year old heiress. You could quite rightly think "He must be joking".
To call me judgemental is accurate, in that I did post this. Yet are we not all judgemental when viewing potential dates? We all have to say "Yes, no or maybe". To then go on and say that I am in need of psychiatric help because of this is judge-mental.

To get radio play on the BBC they had to change "Rolling Stone" to "the Radio Times" (a BBC publication). Due to a complete ban on advertising of any sort.
A convolution not quite as absurd as the Kinks "Lola". Auntie beeb was okay more or less with the cross dressing and TV parts of the song but would not stand for "Coca-cola". So Ray had to over dub "Cherry-cola" instead

273kelvin replies on Apr 7, 2019:
The Brexit problems are not with the Lords, it is with the commons. In theory and elected 2nd chamber seems a good idea but in practice it has the same party politics that we see in the US senate. The Lords consist of only 26 voting hereditary piers (chosen by their number) bishops, a few from the arts, civil service but the most vocal are the retired politicians. It seems a waste of good talent not to use their experience as a balance.
As for the bishops, I can see why on this site it may seem an intrusion of church into state. Yet they have been the most vocal against govt cuts affecting the poor.
There is also the UK rules regarding govt ministers. You must be a member of parliament to be a minster and being made a lord immediately gives that right. A case in point was our version of Trump. ie "Apprentice" guy, Allan Sugar. He was drafted into the labour cabinet as an industry minister.

If Trump was under a monarch? He would have had to seek the approval for his state of emergency to build his wall. Now I am not saying that she would have refused. In fact I am quite sure that she would be constitutionally obliged to acquiesce. However it he would have to go to her first and be prepared to answer some very serious questions.

If you are a funny woman then its best to put it out there. You might be right about most men but then again you can either cast a wide net or bait a hook with the right bait.
I see so many online profiles that are sparse to non-existent or bland and beige. "Love animals, travelling music, dancing, family". One that is witty and self-deprecating, leaps out. It says "this is a person, not a picture". Already you are engaged with that individual and want to know more. "In the valley of the blind...."

@Sheannutt East of Eden was a role he was born for. Steinbeck thought so too. He went out of his way to deliberately rub Raymond Massey up the wrong way.

After shooting was over he came up to the older actor and told him how much respect he had for him and that he only acted the way he did to bring out the tension between farther and son.

@Cutiebeauty Well I have seen it done before .and I was not aware of the rule. In any case it should not be a rule as sometimes I feel it is necessary where there is no other resource available.
The spat that Merrie and I had was on thing and that imoh revolves around the word "need" (her word). There is nothing wrong with someone blocking if they want to. Personally I like to be more inclusive.
To ban someone from a group is an entirely different matter and felt that this was something that should not be swept under the carpet.

@Cutiebeauty The two quotes were chosen for a reason. The former as a lesson on how the world is lessened by lose of any individual. That if you deliberately exclude someone then you are contributing to that loss. The latter to show my motivation in posting on the senate.
I do not expect everyone to agree with my opinions. It would be a very boring world indeed if we all did. I do however expect someone to respect my right to express them in a place that is outside of their domain. My post was not an attack on an individual per sa. Rather a naming and shamming of an act by that individual which I believed to be wrong and counter to the sites best interests.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
Blocking is a very blunt instrument and imoh should only be used sparingly and as a last resort. Yes there are sad individuals that use the internet to go out of their way to be abusive and some form of sanction in in order for this kind of behaviour. This must not and cannot be confused with someone expressing an opinion or even a rant. There are things that irritate us all and the internet allows us to express/converse about these irritations amongst other things. They may be silly or banal, like squeezing the toothpaste in the middle, putting the toilet roll the wrong way round. You may even come home after a particularly frustrating day waiting in line at the DMV and say something like "Senior citizens should by strangled at birth". This is called freedom of expression and it enriches not diminishes us.
CB you referred to me as a "right fighter", it is a label I wear with pride."The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
So lets look at another hypothetical situation. Let us assume that I did nothing. I just let it be as many in the senate including yourself suggested. Would the site be best served by this? Would proudmerrie have even considered her action or offered to reinstate me back into her group? I very much doubt it. And what of the next person to fall foul of a hosts wrath? Would they be better served by my inaction? Would the site? After all the senate is a forum for discussing how best to improve the site for everyone. The over use of blocking is an issue and the many comments that my post received (both favourable and not), stand testimony to its need to be discussed. If nothing else it may give a host a reason to pause before excommunicating an individual with their mouse click.
Proudmerrie if my words in the original thread upset you, then I am sorry. It was not intended as a personal attack. Merely my own opinion on a subject. I did not mean to say that you were not worthwhile, only that you did not need a meme to tell you so. If I came across a callous? then maybe its because my skin is a little thicker. However I do stand by my opinion that you over reacted in haste and that it is wrong in principle for a host to bar someone in these circumstances. To this end I will decline your ...

Let us examine a hypothetical situation. You are on FB. There are various groups and friends family etc.. Now you see bible quotes put up but youre respectful and just scroll down and let them be. Then one day Hillary asks in a general way "Why some people write negative comments about these?"
So you answer, after all youre just stating your opinion. You try and be as witty and sarcastic as you can without blaspheming or being deliberately being offence.
Then Donald, the host of your high school reunion group joins the thread and says "But the bible tells people how to be good".
Again in the manor of your comment you reply "Anybody that needs a book like the bible to make them good. Cant be that good a person to start with" A little abrasive perhaps but its your opinion on the subject and you were asked a question. As a non-theist you felt qualified to answer it better than most, so you did.
Donald then not only unfriends you but also bars you from his high school group. You no longer can speak to your old friends about high school matters but also you no longer have access to the things that you wrote in the forum as well.
I think you might be a little pissed off. After all you did not take the piss out of the bible itself. You only said why you might be inclined to. You did not even do so in Donald's group. It was Hillary's question you answered and your thread that Donald joined.
You might think "What can I do? This is unfair". You then might post on your FB page, so that everyone can see it, why you think its unfair. Not just because of your perceived injustice but as a general discussion on the etiquette of social media. ie. Does a host have a wider responsibility than their own personal likes and dislikes of an individual? After all we have no book to tell us how to be good. We only have our own conscience and the opinion of our piers.
As to my post, I stated my case as best I could in the spirit of dialectic discussion. Not just with the knowledge of my case but of others as well. The numerous comments that the post received bear witness the factional problems the site is going though.
If I insinuated that you were a member of a clique then I apologise. If you re-read my post you will see that it is on a separate paragraph. Perhaps it would have been better to double space them?
Having quickly re-read my comments, I can only see my responses as re-stating my case. With the exception of "First they came for...." This was an answer to "Sadly, you're right. It's safer not to engage." Which boils down to "Dont make waves" and was the first thing that came to mind. There were a lot of comments coming in thick and fast and it was written in haste. It was not meant as an attack on yourself. More a knee jerk reaction to inaction.
As for you being...

The privilege of starting and hosting a group comes with some responsibilities. You must maintain a standard of decorum in that group and keep it on subject. Ie no politics if its not political etc. It should not matter what anyone says outside of that group. If for example I hosted a group called "stupid theists" and I found that one of the members was a right winger. It makes no difference if they behave in my group. Its none of my business..
To block someone from your group for pure personal reasons is in my mind an abuse of that privilege

Point of order but "cowboy" is a derogatory term in the UK. It means a shoddy builder. Also from what I hear it is not the native american community that is most offended by this.
The actress said what she thought. Its the 1st amendment and to be forced to retract is a violation of that. As for what good it may have done? I have talked with councillors who have worked with rape victims and some do experience an orgasm. They subsequently feel incredibly guilty about it. Thinking that it is their fault in some way and it cannot have been rape. Maybe that statement alleviated their qualms but I dont know because I am not them and would not presume to speak on their behalf.
Im not saying that racism does not exist. What I am saying that its elimination/reduction is not best served by circling the wagons. To define yourself and others primly by your group is just as prejudiced as a hate crime without the hate.
