Well they are not living the same lifestyle as me. There are virtually no single people here, and what is worse is a number of people from my high school are living in the neighbourhood, with their husbands and kids, and it makes me feel like a douche. I didnt have a feeling like this when I lived in bigger cities as there were more single people there and I wasnt the odd one out.

Hope your brain is less confused now....

Political parties should have term limits for the same reason individuals do.

This whole Health Coach thing is ridiculous. I keep seeing all these people set up businesses as Health Coaches . Seems like it's some sort of craze now. I wouldn't trust half these people to give me instructions on how to cross the street.

"Everything is broken. You realize that, right? You know it...deep down. And you're saying to yourself: bad things happen to good people every day! And I am saying to you...yes. But that's the proof. Don't you see? That's it. Everything is broken. Everything. Good people are victims. Bad people are heroes. Dumb is a virtue. Food is poison. Corruption is a national past time. Rapists rape. The poor are left to rot. Religion is business. No one is safe and everyone thinks it's funny. Why is the world allowed to be this way? Why doesn't anyone do anything? Why don't we fight back? Why is it like this? Why did it happen? And then it hit me. It doesn't matter why. 'Why' is the cloud. The redirect. The shell game. 'Why' is the ********. 'Why' makes you feel better for just thinking the question. The question is...what am I going to do about it?" - Scarlet, issue one

Religious beliefs are drilled into children at a formative age. For the vast majority, it becomes "hard coded" into their world view. Trying to change that, more often than not leads to resistance and a reinforcement of the resolve of those beliefs. In this situation, it's better to let people discover the folly on their own. Some will, ...but most won't.

I am tired of the "knee-jerk-assume the worst possible interpretation" reaction that is so prevelant on the Internet.

Subtle.

Passive-aggressive

Yeah you were being.
My unpopular opinion is when people use this thread to vent annoyances about other forum members in a non-direct 'I could be talking about anyone' sort of way.

 

[beancounter]

Yeah you were being.

Of course I was referring to myself. To assume otherwise would be a knee jerk reaction.

But sometimes you can never understand no matter how hard you try. Even if you are not religious.

Hashtags are overused, but not nearly as annoying as everyone makes them out to be.

Hashtags are the devil! #justsayin #whoswithme #iknowright #biebernation

Spiders are cool!

Had one of the lifeguards (while teaching a lesson) at the pool screaming "Get away" and splashing as her student laughed.
As I was nearby I swam over to save her from what I expected to be a wasp in the water. Instead it was a large Wolf Spider running across the surface of the water.
I didn't know they could do that!
So I ended up saving the spider instead. I kept lifting it out of the pool but it would run back to the edge and jump in. I finally had to get out of the pool and put it in the grass near the ditch (I figured if it really wanted water it could go to the ditch instead).

That is the most terrifying thing I have ever heard.

Wolf spiders are very unique too .If you wanna see something really cute, go to youtube and search for wolf spider babies.

AHHHH WHY DID I DO THAT?! I'm gonna go climb into my spider-proof bubble now.

I saw this picture before and it was meant to look like the spider was really hairy...when the picture was clicked full size...the hair was babies!

This happened to my daughter IRL when she attempted a spider rescue from the bathtub. Suddenly there were babies everywhere! She ran (lol) and we never saw any of the spiders again.
