i'm starting this because i was chatting with someone this morning about pictures of ourselves as kids.
i realized i didn't have any of myself so i got my mother to email me a few.
i promised i'd start a thread about it and if that person doesn't post the pic they sent me this morning, i will.
Hey Broomhead we're about to pass out the Halloween treats you better sweep your little jehoba butt down to the media center cause you can't have none!"
Awwww! That was mean! Calling you broomhead and buckwheat was awful! You were/are a cutie. I was continually looked down on because of being blond. Stupid stereotypes! Too bad I kicked ass at math....LOL! Proving people wrong is the best revenge. Thanks for posting Lastcall! You're a hottie!

what an audacious question!
" wow, bradley -- how could you stoop to such levels?
do you consider most people as simple sleepwalkers through life not paying much attention to reason, logic, science, history and a desire to understand?
Crap. Now I feel awful
Don't Czar! Good debate is a healthy thing and I'm sorry that I took you on. I'm just protective of people that I care about. You weren't all that bad, really!
NO MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO WORK AT IT!
Well, Kate, I agree and disagree but, we'll chat about that some other time.
I think most people are very intelligent, maybe just not interested, as another poster said.
Patio, it was MEEEEEE! LOL! Yay! Someone agrees with me! *Jumps up and down with joy*

Lastcall, you were cute but what's up with your hair?
Sens is the cutest vampire I've ever seen! Yer, yer....

...you are a pustulent carbuncle on my neck, a niggling irritation in my underwear, an obstreperous offense to my sensibilities.. craig
I think Dave caught him in a rather fetching pose with that Chuckie pic. That was his best side in my opinion. He was almost cute.

Shrug. I got edited. I think the red edit signals add a certain cachet to my post. Like a parental advisory warning.
LOL!
Inflammatory? Try rubbing some Neosporin on it.
No thanks!
Haughty and scornful is something I wanted to show off, to point out the intrinsic troll effect of such a topic thread and title.
Again Czar, he didn't attack people, he attacked belief systems. Why is that wrong? Show me please! I've had my beliefs challenged many times and I thank the people who did so.
I like LR too! I've had nice chat sessions with him. It seemed like he wanted to play mudslingers with someone who had another opinion, ergo, I took up the challenge.
He's a good guy so I'm not surprised that the two of you got along. You're both interesting people. I don't think he wanted to play "mudslingers" though. He actually seemed a bit distraught when I talked to him on the phone. (Sorry Brad)
your boyfriend DID characterize those who believe them as being stupid
Number 1) not my boyfriend although he is a boy (errr man) and my friend. Number 2) He's correct. The things he mentioned are stupid although, I disagree with him that those who believe in them are. People believe things for whatever reasons and it's not really for me to judge.
should I just let him call my worldview stupid and therefore dismiss everything I have to say?
Of course not but, there is a better way to debate things. He didn't ad hominem attack YOU he attacked your belief system. Major differance!
I just want him to THINK before he posts a thread like that, one with words calculated to insult and wound people, not beliefs. There are people who actually get seriously enraged and hurt when things like that get thrown around - especially on a thread dedicated to those who are struggling to emerge from a cult.
I agree with you completely! Bradley is a piece of work sometimes. He's really a nice guy who is just a bit over curious at times. Maybe I overreact in defense of him cause I truly view him as a little brother and I just want to protect him. This board does need some controversial posts though. It can't all be healing and support. We need to step out and challenge our thought systems at times. Actually, that is an important part of the healing process; learning to think critically. I'm not great at it but, I'm learning.
Thank you Czar for your response.

See Doc Firecrotch, you're going to live this down until the day you die....rofl! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought you looked like a redhead....LOL! You were still adorable. Awwwwwww!

those of you know know me have probably noticed.
i haven't been posting very much.
and this is in part due to my health problems and how they are affecting me.. i got those $400 orthotics to put in my shoes.
LL, as Waiting said, no need to apologize for being human! We all have pains in the heart and body and that's part of being human. I think you're an awesome person and you should take all the time you need to feel better. Take care of you!
Craig, I'm sorry you are feeling the same way. You and/or Kate can call me anytime.

a few days ago it was asked how many people here work.
of the 44 people who posted, 37 responded.
of those who admitted
Thanks Euph,
2 unemployed looking for work (including myself, and I've only been unemployed for one week),
The economy is very depressed in my area (Detroit) and it's rather tough to find a decent job. I pick up a paper almost every day and I can't find anything I'm qualified for. It sucks! I responded honestly to your thread, Joker, and didn't think I'd be maligned for it.
Big Tex, City Fan and Doodle, I agree.
Does NASA know you are taking time away from building rockets to play on the Internet?
OMG Dave that's too funny!
Brummie claims to use astroglide to give his coat a nice glossy finish, but we know the truth!!
Brummie? I'm truly shocked!
