The unpopular or otherwise, question thread.

Question...

I'm a pray-er. Is it offensive to non-believers, if something is going wrong in their life, to say you will pray for them? Sometimes you don't know a person's belief system or lack thereof.
Do I have to just always say I'm sending good wishes and not say I'll pray for them?

I have close friends who are non-believers and I don't mind when they do their thing for me, like burning incense or sending healing light, etc. I don't see why someone doing something like praying, chanting, sending healing vibes would be an issue for anyone. I'm happy to get any of that from someone (must be the attention thing).

So, I'm just curious. Going to pray for you, regardless, but I just won't tell you in case it's politically incorrect or something. Haha. [emoji12]
Nope, not offensive to me at all. If someone is offering, then I'll take whatever help comes my way. I look at prayer like the power of positive thinking. :)

Does this look a bit too much? My mom seems to think so :weird: it's lip piercings and I adore them <3
I'm not a fan of face piercings and I like your face the way it is, but if it's something that you really feel like you want to do, then you should do it. If one of my daughters wanted to do it and asked for my opinion, I would probably say "it's a bit too much" but I wouldn't tell them not to do it.

Why is it that people like to point out the fact that you've gained weight? As if you don't already know

Yes, i've encountered such a rude attitude. When you are at normal weight, they say you are like a pikelet. But if you get slim at once (like it happened to me), they say: I told you, your freaky vegan diet would lead you to the casket. You're too skinny and pale! And you must gain weight:eek:

I'm a hardcore Athiest and wouldn't be offended. To me it's just saying "You'll be in my thoughts"

Also pointing out you've gained wait is effing rude.

why don't women generally wear digital watches?

Because, while they might be practical, they often do not look too attractive?

I'm also one of those who does not like to wear watches (and, since mobile phones, do not have to any more), although I still own some really fine vintage wristwatches from 1930 to 1960 (unfortunately all with leather straps from my pre-vegan days) and some newer-generation swatch watches.

I have always been lean but I have, on more than one occasion, needed to explain to people that saying "Oh, you're so SKINNY" is not necessarily a compliment, even if it was intended as one. Thin people can be very self conscious about their weight as well and drawing attention to it can be rude and make them feel awkward.

Well, it depends on what kind of women you're talking about. When i was young, i was obsessed with my cool electronic men's watch. The brand was "Montana". It had a flashlight and was playing 16 popular melodies. And it was still working after i drowned it in the sea!:cool: Those were the good times. When the only gadget very few of us had was Tetris. Even in highschool we were secretly playing it at the classes and always ended up being punished.:D

Indeed, I remember those! :)

The first time you could get light, a stop watch, an alarm, different melodies, and the precision of a chronograph for about 50 $.

Of course, nowadays they have replicated a few of these features with mechanical watches costing a few thousand dollars...
 
Well, there you go...

But ... I think this type of watches are much cooler:

These seem to be the originals from Tokyoflash, there are cheaper ones from China available on eBay...
