Personally, I have my OWN side, and it may just so happens that one of you believe in what I believe in, but as long as everyone understands where everyone coming from, then there's growth and nobody's time was wasted...I don't know about u guys but I love every minute of my time, but I also love to help someone in need...

When it comes down to it really, it's whatever YOU believe, I personally argue (no, debate) with another person only if they doubt my beliefs, never to change someone elses truths unless its totally worth my time and effort.

Us aquarians are a LOT stronger than we seem. Peer pressure NEVER worked on me and I never even to this day smoked ANYTHING in my life (or any drug for that matter, now that I'm 21, yea I do drink every now and then). I couldn't care less about what another thinks of me, because in the end of the day, are they paying my bills? Are they helping me with the rent and bringing food into the house? Will they truly help me out if I find myself evicted etc? If the answer's no, then I can't hear what you're saying. A lot of people come to me for assistance and I blindly go out my way to help, even if I know they won't give me anything in return, but no one's opinion can be that strong to make me change in any way.

I'm sure my aquarians agree with me on this. Being stubborn on your beliefs I thought was an invaluable trait for us...maybe not...

(Huh? Speak louder...you're soo small I can' hear you lol)

but the question was what is it like being fixed, right? i think it would be impossible to explain, even if it were possible to identify the traits people under fixed signs have that are different from people born under the other two modalities. to explain what it's like "to be fixed" seems like it would be very difficult to explain to someone who isn't, like explaining what it feels like to be blind to someone who can see, or to explain what it feels like to be intelligent to someone who's stupid. you can imagine it, but you can't ever really know it until you experience it for yourself.

however, i think i might be able to give you an idea of what it is like for me personally. it means intensity in whatever i feel, whether it be happiness or apathy. it means the desire to see things through to the end, whether it be a relationship or a paint job. it's, unfortunately, an unwillingness sometimes to admit or even see my own errors, because i think that my thoughts are justified beyond others', and my reasoning flawless simply because it is my own and i don't have the luxury of another's point of view. it is occasional and unpredictable fits of pride, however foolish, that i can't control. it is extremes, in the sense that i will usually be either completely for or against something, whether or not i can see both sides - and in the sense that there is emotions are often overwhelming, be it depression or elation. hmm, anything else? sometimes it is attachment, to my beliefs, loved ones, or places.

don't know if you were only asking aquas, or what the purpose is behind this thread, but there's my two cents.

vasectomy does not involve removal of the testicles and it affects neither the production of male sex hormones (mainly testosterone) nor their secretion into the bloodstream. Therefore sexual desire (libido) and the ability to have an erection and an orgasm with an ejaculation are not affected. Because the sperm itself makes up a very small proportion of an ejaculation, vasectomy does not significantly affect the volume, appearance, texture or flavor of the ejaculate. Similarly, in females, hormone production, libido, and the menstrual cycle are not affected by a tubal ligation.

When the vasectomy is complete, sperm can no longer exit the body through the penis. They are broken down and absorbed by the body. Much fluid content is absorbed by membranes in the epididymis, and much solid content is broken down by macrophages and re-absorbed via the blood stream. Sperm is matured in the epididymis for about a month once it leaves the testicles, and approximately 50% of the sperm produced never make it to ejaculation in a non-vasectomized man. After vasectomy, the membranes increase in size to absorb more fluid, and more macrophages are recruited to break down and re-absorb more of the solid content.

If we weren't open-minded, we wouldn't know our stuff. The only reason we seem stubborn in thinking is because we tried what you're trying fifty years ago. Catch up, slow man.

GBA, looks like we're going to get on smashingly! I'm not the person to be patronizing with. What you don't realize is that your way of thinking (stubborn and self-righteous) is black and white, action-oriented thinking that is generally biased toward your own life-experiences. And as the saying goes, ?The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

Basic danger. We all know a Scorpion's threat.
Librans are very girly, even the men. The Librans I know are obsessed with beauty products and hygiene. Can they last in a Spartan camp without their favorite toner? There's a dead Libran for you.
Plus, who wants their Mars in Libra? They're more easy-going than an Irish Setter welcoming a thief into the home.
Librans aren't weak. They're my friends. But I wouldn't hire them to join the hockey team.
