| All of my life, I've had a tendency to react to stressful situations or awkwardness with inappropriately timed laughter or awkward attempts at silliness. It's rarely appreciated at the moment I do it, but I'm usually unable to stop myself, it seems. I'm not trying to be a jerk - it's more of an auto... |

| Devastated. Kutner was my favorite character for a long time - and this is my favorite show. Really sad, and horrible really. When Amber died, it was the hardest episode for me to watch, but also probably the best made, in my opinion. That seemed to touch everyone, especially Wilson, for the obvious... |

True nutjobs, indeed.
Only mainstream Xtian if they're into every existing crazy conspiracy theory regarding Catholicism, left and right politics, rapture obsessionism, etc.
Still, it can be fun if you're not disturbed by it first.

| I'm an agnostic as it comes to the whole NWO idea. I recently read "Them", a book by Jon Ronson. Amazon link here: http://www.amazon.com/Them-Adventures-Extremists-Jon-Ronson/dp/0743227077 While a fan of Alex Jones' work for a while, I was disappointed to find out inadvertently, via this book, that ... |

| Hi there - noob on this forum. Reality is subjective. We all experience reality, except in our own way, with our own foci and filters. We may experience and observe the same phenomenon, yet come up with completely different ideas or understandings of what happened, even if we are otherwise highly co... |

| Zghost's idea is great re: role playing. Also, can you write a letter in advance, nicely edited but assertive? Just to back up your point. What exactly is the situation? You may have a legal case to get your money back, if the circumstances are right. In the mean time, a church may be a good place t... |

| The manual doesn't care about the reasons for the inability....There is huge room for professional interpretation in an evaluation. Nicely said, Gary. What is most frustrating about definitions is they provide labels, for NTs and for us, but dammit, don't provide answers. I feel like saying "Hello?... |

| At least it's not In My Humble Opinion (IMHO), which is anything BUT humble 99 times out of a hundred. Nice catch, Douglas. IME, that's also true. If you're going to use IMHO, only use it if you're feeling humble or truly expressing humility. Otherwise, you're being a pompous double talking ass. 8) |

| To follow up: "proud to be white" is not racist in itself, anyone should be entitled to be proud of their heritage, whether European, African, Asian, Aborigine, whatever. However, in the US it is considered direct code of entry into David Duke land, and all of the neo-Nazi crap that comes with it. P... |

Last week he sent out one such long e-mail with the title Proud To Be White . You can readily imagine w... |

| That is one phrase that raises my hackles. Another one that makes me want to punch a person in the face is, "Whatever." I find that "whatever" often suits me, not as a dismissive word, but a statement that: 1. I admit I don't have the energy to deal with a subject right now/don't know enough to res... |
