'do-ee' is my attempt to use variations of the word you initially used.

"Adorer is always a victim."

I hope to be spared that kind of "loving" in my life.


can judge which happens?....is lovingnotloving?, polaris


after knife, happened which people call calm....no fearing....looked the eyes the males....only one male didn't fear looking and avoid, though at first he looked away a few times.....then he didn't look away even alittle......just............he ceased looking as though looking 'at'......then wasn't which people call rape, or sex...........started happening he couldn't continue

which is called leader demanded he hurry and finish......he asked them to turn so couldn't see....the leader said he would ask asheera if he'd finished so not to try lying.....when they were turned he whispered "i can't do this......please help me.....nod if you will"...........nodded yes..............he then stood saying "finished".......the leader asked if he finished, nodded yes

weeks later he called to cross a street to talk with him.......he was alone but didn't want to cross the street since might happen attack quesnel gangs if he crossed......kids which was walking with said "don't cross to talk to him", but did.......he spoke gentle.......said he was sorry which happened and he'd quit the gang..........then said "if you weren't so young i would ask you out, but your too young" (was 13)........never saw or heard of him with the gang again.....did hear liked 'alone' alot....people like him and thought it strange he liked 'alone' and not want sharing like they would have liked

Thanks for the reminder. Must be I have this old age thing happening that make me... er... forget stuff.

I would have to say that I have possibly made the rapist a victim by calling him a filthy. However, likewise, he might very well be "filthy" both in the physical sense and in the "moral" sense.

is doer"do-ee"?...is "victim"?
....is "Adorer is always a victim"?


Okay, something's going on here. Asheera, are you getting at something, probably having to do with my use of the word "victim" ?? :unsure:

When I use the word "victim" I'm using it to describe one who suffers.

In this context (I think BB & I have already established that for the sake of communication or sometimes miscommunication;), some words may be used in more than one context) I would suggest that an adorer is somebody who has an strong attachement to a person or thing and thus suffers.

Hey, that sounds like it means the same 'happening thang' as 'pointed to' by: no, no snot :lol: !

Is it the same 'point' that's being 'pointed to' by both statements, or not, I wonder? Whatever the case, 'richer' meaning-shadows emerge when a setting is 'lit' from multiple angles, making a variety of 'gradients' image·in·able, methinks.

Lights..., camera..., action!

I think that anything that comes out of your nose which originates in the sinuses can safely be called snot, from the watery drip-drip type, the the hard and crusty type, to the type that crackles inside your nose as it freezes in there on a really frigid winter day.

I wonder how many different word the Eskimos have for 'snot'? :huh:

years ago a poem happened, sonrisa :)

the song sang which is called violence,
and which much tearing happened when writing

the poem described a man beating a little girl until the body died

didn't tearing for the little girl....loving, she saw the man fearing....she didn't fear....she remained untouched

teared for the man....after the body was dead....he picked it up and loving rocked it....he was so fearing he could only loving after the body died....
he could only loving when 'seemed' safe

I did just now, for some reason I couldn't get into the site yesterday, but I was able to surf around in it today. Interesting reading.

Here is the local story about Charles Manson, one of Cincinnati's um, "finest" :blink: :
His Mom was a hooker down on Vine St, in OTR (one of the City's more unsavory neighborhoods) & she used to send Charlie out on Vine to get johns & bring them up to her. One day when he was around 12, so the story goes, she did him herself, then went around bragging to everybody in OTR that he was the best lay she ever had. Or so the story goes.

This post was answered by miss asheera by a am posting richie.:) response.. Preceding quote from my memory, not verbatum' iow, words to that effect.

"bottom line" actually would be an answer from you to the question, If you were a member of the parole board, would you vote pro or against Manson's parole? A simple Yes or No answer would suffice. But if you care not to reply, that is your choice. Shall not 'twist your arm' anymore' in pursuit of an answer. :P :D

thirst4sun, I think that it was Jesus who said,
" No man can serve 2 masters, for he will end up loving one, and hating the other or hating one, and loving the other. A house divided against itself can not stand. one can not serve God and Satan."
Not quite sure of the exact wordage, but did read similar thoughts/wordings, somewhere. :) <_<

I think there is really only one reality - The Universe! (with all it's dimensions). Religion/Beliefs and Science are the "template" thru which we "see"/understand it. No-one can see Reality as it actually is!

I was bought up as a conservative Christian, but soon explored the Pentecostal/Charismatic churches. When I realised that their "miracles" don't work, I went on to explore Eastern Religion, Science, Psychology, "New Age" ideas and "Self-help" books. I now hold liberal beliefs that combine elements of all of these.

My desire is that I, along with the world in which we live, and all Life, may develop the positive potential that they each have.
My favourite values: Love, Peace, Beauty, Fun, Adventure, Discovery, Change...

tao te ching

"If you can empty your mind of all thoughts
your heart will embrace the tranquility of peace."

"When intellectualism arises,
hypocrisy is close behind."

I'm not "exclusively" a Taoist.
My "beliefs" are in a constant state of flux.
I am comfortable in the "uncertainty".
The "basic principle" of the Tao is what I believe in. :P
I am a "Liberal Taoist". ;)
I am also a Liberal Christian, Buddhist etc. :)

This is how it all fits together...
"I think there is really only one reality - The Universe! (Tao). Religion/Beliefs and Science are the "template" thru which we "see"/understand it. No-one can see Reality as it actually is!"

We need details/beliefs to function properly in this world. :thumbsup:
