It seems people don't want to share their points of view unless they are guaranteed that everyone will agree with them.  Why does anyone care what other people say or think if they truely believe they are right?

I have noticed (wonder if y'all have) that most of the ladies who posted here stopped!  It seems they got their fellings hurt more than once and the last one (hassle on M-A that migrated here) caused them all to agree to stop posting here.  (i.e. May_10, Carrisse, etc.)

I am a pretty easy guy to get along with.  Most insults go right over my head and I don't read posts about things I don't agree with or appear to be inappropriate.  I'll debate with anyone and have had some real burners with a few of you especially when I broke up with Honey because I was afraid legal problems would hurt her.  Although I admit I am stiff-necked and stubborn occasionally someones comments do make me change my mind, well make that rarely.  Our experiences make us see truths differently and it is good to occasionally walk around in someone elses shoes seeing it the way they do - it helps us grow and be more compassionate and understanding to others.  

Still it wouldn't hurt if some of you would tone down the critisms to something more like "I don't agree" leaving off the "stupid".

Hi Bear,
Everyone is entitled to express their own points of view and everyone has one whether we agreed with them or not. I have learned that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.
I can say that I got hurt too by "fake-intelligentsia MARS" calling me "brain-dead" in one of his previous posts but that didn't stop me from posting here at P-L because I know in my heart that I'm no brain-dead and Oh btw, I can construct "they are" instead of "they is" in a sentence better than he does *LOL*

Any posts from Mars will be ignored.

Dear Dave H, Jimbo, Greg, Jay, Stephen, & The Walker,
Sorry for my late reply! I've been busy here at home because my dear hubby is always out of town so I have to take care of everything, I even have to mow our yard & dump our trash now but I enjoy doing it though! Anyway, I wanted to Thank You all for your kind words and for making me feel welcome in the Board.

Thanks,
NNP

when you're mowing the lawn, you can fart freely, because the lawnmower SHOULD drown out the sound.  But that principle does not necessarily work.  To you, the lawnmower's moter is the loudest sound around.  To your neighbor, it blends in with other sounds.  My brother would sing nonsense at the top of his lungs, mowing my father's lawn.  He thought the only thing neghbors would hear was the lawn mower.  But one of the neighbors thought my brother ran over his foot and chopped it up.

You write very well for someone who speaks English as a second language. And you are improving. My Vicky is well traveled and dealt with English speakers at Uncle's company, and yet her early posts, while technically correct, had odd phrasing and her comma placement and sentence structure was definitely not standard. To this day she seldom uses contractions such as don't/won't/couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't. And she is still learning American slang.

Yet in other ways she writes excellent English, superior to most Americans.

Hang with it. You write better than many native-born Americans and your differences add an exotic flavor to your prose.

You are surely not brain dead.

Well....I think you're "BRAIN ALIVE".

I'm glad you're here.  Hope you'll stay and share with us.

Sorry for my own negative comments. Filipinas from RP has never mistreated me..Sometimes I talk negative outta my frustration with my Son's Mother situation. She is sweet to me, the annulment is a huge pain..We haven't even begin working on it, becuz I'm distrustful sending huge amount of $$$$$ to the Lawyer..Afraid he's gonna take the money and Run..As a single Parent with no help, I cannot afford to risk losing that kinda money. Take care and God Bless You always..greg

Hi NNP,

I sure no one thinks you're "brain dead," including the person who said it. Far from it!!! Hopefully, his Chinese pen pal won't know the meaning of the word when he uses it on her.

I only half agree with you that some ladies don't post here because they got their feelings hurt.  While that is partly true, there are also those that condone and support the actions of golddiggers.  These are the ones that encourage playing the race card to get away with hurtful actions.  Well, the ladies that have nothing to hide or cover-up still post, and they're very much welcome here.  It's too bad that some nice gals might not come here because of hurt feelings, but remember this.  The guys on this board, including yourself, have endured bigger verbal blows and come back.  I guess for anybody, it's a matter of cooling off and sorting things out.

I want to emphasize this,although I must qualify my statement on the premise that I wasn't 100% witness to the events.  Vivian and Helen come to mind.  It's a disgrace that anybody would approve or support their actions.  Zebson's life was nearly ruined.  Yet somebody scorns Zebson as being posessive, etc. when he was suspicios that something fishy was going on.  Well, he sure did have the right to be suspicious and it sure is a good thing he did not ignore it.

I think with Zebson and Helen (although y'all might be surprised to know I actually feel I am more on Zebson's side) that there was a lot of information (meaning her side of the story) we did not have.  We cannot get all the info if we have a closed membership and run off those we do not agree with.  Like right now on M-A one guy is in the throws of the most horrible mistake ever made on these forums.  He has ignored everyone who has commented.  I call him up to talk and found out how bad it really is and listen while he has decided to basically ignore everything that was suggested to him, and insist he will continue to do so.  The whole point is we all just share our beliefs per our experiences and we might learn from what other's comments - but no one can make us accept their point of view and that does not give anyone the right to belittle anyone over it.

Hi Bear,

I don't know, old buddy. Your post's about Zeb when you were in the Philippines talking to Helen (and VIVIAN?!), were about the most self absorbed, tacky nonsense I have ever seen on this board. I remember it well, because I was shocked. Your sitting there in Manila buying her and the entourage Lapu-Lapu or whatever, she's feeding you all this BS, and you post it on this board like it's Gospel. All I could think at the time was, "what a sucker!". YOU don't know what happened and to pretend you do is just plain wrong, IMHO. I think you still owe the man an apology.
