I'd probably do the same exact thing if i was her. | Maybe over protective wasn't the right word, abusive would be more accurate. abusive? protective? nah just pointing out she is a young female 16 in a few days (yeah! a happy early birthday Kay ) she is one of the few females on here regularly so it was more of a girl power, female empowerment kinda thing .....
I mean, what exactly is she trying to protect you from, logic? Start saying something logical and I will be fine with it but use a verbal sledge hammer on her with your I can show you "truth" rhetoric and I have issue with that .... I may treat her as a protective mother hen but you treat her like she has a brain the size of a BB
Give me a break. It seems to me like she is stuck in the mind of a child childlike mind is more apt
and wants as many children around her as possible so she doesn't have to deal with this fact. Yes I love kids and I lure them to my house made of candy and then eat them!
I'm treating you like an adult to assist you in your philosophical development being that it appears to interest you, while she wants to treat you like a child for her own egotistical purposes. Egotistical purposes? dude stop and reread your post ... where is the gain of pointing out that she is young? I get to feel superior over a 15 soon to be 16 year old ... what ego stroking does that accomplish? Actually I feel more superior to you than I do her ...
Not to offend you but seriously, why would a 26 year old want to befriend a 15 year old on line? As nice as she appears to be on the surface, it sounds like she has issues to me. Thank you for being gullible enough to believe that I was 26 and saying that I appear nice on the surface .. oh yeah right! I don't think pooh or buzz-kill think I have a nice surface about me at all! ... you made my day and then ruined it by eluding that I might be a pervert stalking a female on line ... shame on you for taking this to a new all time low .... if you had read some of my past 900 plus posts you would know that pedophiles are a societal bane and I think they should be executed painfully!
My issue is that I have worked with young people her age, kids of crack whore moms, sexually abused, physically abused and numerous other abuses and they need to find their own way not have some know it all like you give them a warped view of truth. I have been active with human rights, equal rights, child advocacy and a whole bunch of other things on a state and local level of government ... so if I seem supportive of her don't you dare for even a frigging nano second think that I do it for self ego, perversion or other such bull sh*t ... I am a lot of things but what you accuse me of isn't one of them .... all of my kids are adopted, I foster and mentor kids here in my city and my home is a safe haven for children and adults of abuse and violence and you ...... well frankly my dear you suck! you suck big time! |
Okay ... she take s a deep breath ... considers the source and she approaches this in a lighter train of thought ....
oh Nicky, Nicky nick ..... you are so silly ... and I do indeed take being being unserious very serious .....
For your 4-1-1 .... I like kids exactly like W.C. Fields did ... with a little salt and pepper and dunked in ketchup ...
You aren't trying to give her any philosophical enlightenment you are just hanging out here trying to sound smart .... so far no success in that department .....
I met Kay on another thread (the crazy cathy thread) and didn't even know she was 15 going on 16 (I think there is a song similar to that ... lalalalala) until this thread and she began posting stuff like jk and other acronyms like that ... made me realize that she was younger I checked her profile and found out her age and then realized that she wouldn't necessarily get my my innuendos or read between the lines like someone my age might (31 today). ONCE AGAIN I try and utilize sensitivity with folks ... I don't tell suicidal people to "jump", I don't tell my critically ill patents to "walk toward the light" and I don't treat others like I have all the answers and if they would only listen to me I could put them on the path to warm and fuzzy nirvana .....
most of your cheap shots need to be a wee bit stronger to insult me saint nicky .... but nice job with calling me a perv gotta admit that one did strike a nerve .... the rest of your diatribe was ca-ca .... put it in the kitty litter box with the other cat poo that you spew ... hey that rhymes cat poo you spew ... saint nicky spews cat poo .... no Dr Seuss but not a lot to work with when it comes to you ....

| when i was 15 i had questions, but i think thoses questions we're good for me, i still have the same questions just more possible answers to thoses questions. 3 years alot can happen, alot stays the same, life can change in a second, or stay the same for years. i don't think age is a big factor in how well one can tell truth, its a factor in that the brain and body is at a different stage and theres less experience past the choke hold of memory. its interresting, memory gets jumbled up the older it gets, or so it seems to me. the closer to now and if its memorable it seems more clear and less fuzzy, like in a bottle neck and not mixed in as much with the other memories, i like going on tangets sometimes, they seem random but theres really connections between them. its crazy like i can go from cats to oranges to airplanes and there would probally be a connection on why i switch subjects, yea. lade da, one thing i hate is when someone uses their older age as evidence of their correctness, its like their saying they win by default becuse their older, its not neccassarly the case. haha i went back to a previous topic, i do that to, it goes in a circle a circle, i love warm nights/twilight

| I grew up with a religiously-strict mom and an academically-strict dad. Combined with childhood-shyness, I guess my background is responsible for my tending towards a straight-edge. I also didn't have many friends outside the honors students group in my school district, so I was never exposed to anyone offering me any drugs/alcohol until college.
I still haven't done anything yet. But I'll be open to alcohol once I'm legal.
In general, I have no beliefs as to whether it's good/bad to drink/smoke/do whatever.
But for the sake of my meditation practice, I assume that I personally should avoid alcohol when I can (esp. before I turn 21), and avoid smoking/doing drugs period.
Whether someone else does it isn't my concern. Occasionally I have feelings of "(S)he shouldn't be doing that," but I don't consider those feelings important. So I guess I'd have no objections up to the level of being forced to drink/smoke/do whatever, or breathe second-hand smoke for the long-term. |

I was simply pointing out the illogic with the idea that people who are judgmental are less moral, because this is a judgment in itself making the point moot. I was helping her refine her logic and you flew off the handle. This should be simple enough for any 15 year old to understand, especially someone like her who shows some rare philosophical spark.

I called you abusive, not the sexual kind, but the mental kind. It's disturbing to know you have been around so many children, and no doubt stunting their philosophical growth based on the evidence I've seen here. |

| oh silly st nicky no way I'd stunt their growth ... no, dude I told you .... I lure them into my house made of candies and cakes so that I can fatten them up .... then I fold them into pie dough, next I shove them in the oven at 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes .... then "POOF"! a nice little kid pastry ... yep that's me .... right now a nick muffin sounds good yum!
nothing left to say to a brick wall .... sticks and stones silly saint nicky ..  done with you dude ...
you are just trying to bait me ... you'll get yourself banned soon enough ...

Yup, that's me...the one with a "rare philosophical spark"
