YA! she was there on Friday. She hung out with Brennamom. She did quite well the whole trip, IL said that she was a very good dog and kept good spirits the whole way
I'm proud of her. I freaking miss her so much though :cry:
Well, I spoke too soon. Disagreement doesn't mean dislike, that's true. But when there's so much anger and strife, having a happy place to come to is just fine in my book. I don't think there are a lot of fake people on here. I am good at sniffing that kind of thing out, and I think what a lot of people have been saying is that there is a way to say things that still get the blunt point across but aren't considered rude. And some people are just wusses and cant' handle any honesty. Go to Relationships and Family and see some of the threads...no matter how 'nice' you are, some people get offended just because you don't agree with them. That pisses me off more than rudeness because it just perpetuates ignorance.
I think that people have different definitions of what 'rude' is, but as long as you craft your statements with the word 'respect' in the back of your mind, not many people will find you to be rude or dishonest.
BTW, I'm a sisterThe dude in my avatar is my husband
LOL! Sorry sister I was sure it was your brother. Now I know I get your point and I am not even going to argue with you because I agree with much of what you are saying especially the second part of your post. I made the mistake in my definition but really all I meant is being blunt not RUDE. The problem is too many people in our society confuse rudeness with bluntness. Also I do think that much of the mainstream folks are fake or leading superficial lives (having 10 Hermes handbags and wanting 5 more while millions of children in Africa are dying). We all are to some extent. It's not entirely our fault but it s our fault because we allowed this to happen to us out of our ignorance and selfishness.
^^^well, again, coming to a PURSE forum and then criticizing people who own Hermes is once again, not a good choice to make. and I might add, very self righteous.
Dont forget MOST of those people who own all of those bags, they donate a LOT of money to charity. Just because people have the $$ to spend on things doesnt make them fake or superficial(I agree, some are, but not all), some of them have bigger hearts than the people running around with Wal Mart bags.
ETA: Why the hell would you criticize someone's bag choice on a PURSE forum?
Oh really now! Have you been to Relationships & Family section? Have you read some of the topics on there? They sure are appropriate to all ages ... Obviously you are trying too hard to win this argument instead of understanding where am I coming from.
This begs the question if you moderate everything that people WANT TO SAY but CAN'T then what kind of example are you teaching everyone else. You cant always speak your mind even if you want to because there is always someone above the law who will shut you up, who will take your rights away, who will make you behave and speak by their rules. Thats precisely what the governments of this world are doing to people. We live by their model and incorporate all of it into our life. We behave and speak in certain ways because we have been programmed by mass media and educational system who is once again controlled by people who do not have your best interest at heart. This is not some conspiracy theory this is truly whats taking place.
can't bet money right now cause of college and book expenses but when I get paid then we can talk money hehe.
May I ask you why do you eagerly want this thread to be closed? Does it really bother you or are you afarid to explore the subject at hand?
