I'll probably shatter into a thousand pieces after I write this, but I totally agree with Brahn. It is slightly sterotypical but for the most part I've seen first hand each scenario he listed. And I'm also TOTALLY AGAINST INTERRACIAL DATING.
Thank you for the apology. I am sorry things got soooooo out of hand. Now, to the point.
STAND - to tolerate without flinching. To be more specific, this is the Webster's Dictionary definition of STAND I've chosen to use. Or, can't stand - meaning I cannot possibly sit by and let you make a comment on things without getting stirred up. Which, if I gather correctly was your intent. Now, you can't say you weren't successful, I don't think you planned on this outcome. You indicated that you were playing Devil's advocate and I understand that, but to me that's like pointing a pistol, shooting someone in the head and then saying "Gee, I didn't know it was loaded". I don't know, saying you did it just to push peoples' buttons? There is a high degree of passion behind the words you chose. You are a bit of a contridiction Branh. I am trying hard to understand the Virgo mentality but it's tough. One day you're nice, next - nasty as viper (not you specifically, some Virgos in general).
I have asked you again and again to clarify what it is you are arguing. I even took the liberty to explain what I thought your point was. Instead of answering in a calm, adult fashion, you have resorted to a mini-temper tantrum of personal insults.
I sincerely don't know what point you are trying to make other than to heap hostility on everyone.
It would be nice to engage in adult conversation with you (and others) as I am always willing to learn other points of view. It does not appear possible with you which is too bad.
****Actually my reply was simply a copy of what you are doing, unlike you, I just get to the point
lol!
how so? seriously.
I have been asking for your point all morning. It has yet to appear in a clear concise manner. At this point, I am sure you don't even know what your point is.
Tantrum?
My post was completely without emotion. I even explained my logic since you couldn't follow it. I pretty much gave you the roadmap. Even AFTER I explained it, just now, you are still missing the point because -----> And lets not forget who started the hostilities, who brought in Hitler and associating people with child abusers?
I just explained why I mentioned the Jewish holocaust.
I have stuck to the topic. I just explained the reference.
They weren't low blows. They were pointed illustrations. I will not explain them again nor will I feel any guilt for my argument which I believe to be a very valid one. Which you have yet to prove invalid.
The moment that you can debate ideas without getting personal, I will take you seriously.
Is it? I don't know if this is true Branh. The benefits of love outway the benefits of hate. Love brings happiness which boosts your energy. Although, I guess in some respects so does anger.
But Branh hate begets violence which in the end benefits no one because it causes more damage.
Personally, I find hate and anger very uncomfortable feelings. I don't like them. I am much more peaceful when I am happy and loving.
Hate is a different force than love. Hate is violent. Love is gentle.
Are they equal forces? Is one more powerful than the other? Can hate and anger do more than love and kindness? I don't know. Hate and anger cause more fear and get more immediate results that is for sure. You see the results quicker.
Changes based on love take longer but the argument could be made that the effects last longer because the change is real not based in fear.
(This is a completely abstract argument by the way.)
"Catfish, if Virgos confuse you, it is because you believe they should think like you. Virgo aren't motivated by emotions."
No, I don't believe they have to do anything like me. I don't mind the differences, I embrace them which is why I know a fair amount a Virgos. Half the woman who come to this board complain about the same thing - the push and pull of Virgo personality. Why do you think DYR had to post the 99 THESES on the MALE VIRGO. You don't call some of the responses you typed here under this topic emotional? You got pretty personal.
Actually I made a very valid point,its still legal to KILL native americans in some states.How is that being biased?All the laws like that were removed a long time ago for blacks so whos really being biased?
OOOOOOH my Goodness me! I've certainly missed quite the battle --- I have perfect timing 🙂 Well, I should at least give my opinion while the fire is burning low. Both Branh , sb Prime, and Freebird have made excellent points in terms of ACTUALLY stating your objectives and clearly following them with points that ACTUALLY correspond with the objectives stated.
It's wise to have a firm foundation when you create a topic about a person instead of a subject. Also, it's important to to analyze that hell out of statements made by an individual because then you can make what they have stated BIGGER then what they are. Sure things cause a react (and they very well are suppose to) but when you start manipulating words and motives ... then it becomes entrapment.
We are here for discussions and debating -- of any kind, nothing is suppose to be off topic! However, having a verbal war and attempting to shame any users into silence is more then a little irrational and pointless. This is an opinion message board NOT a dictatorship. Remember to keep things in perspective before going on the war path , everything will make more sense if you do 🙂
Branh,
You just keep on being Mr.B
No one will ever disrespect someone who is honest. True, they may strongly dislike you, but you will ALWAYS have the highest integrity.
When you type, everyone?s looking ? even if they refuse to admit it. Why? Because regardless of the topic at hand your insight is always well warranted 😉
You seems to be smart? (Only seems to be) why don?t you kiss my ass and beg for forgiveness..? You don?t know nothing about politics and human affair... you just bullshiting around? like you usually do?..BOY
Maybe some are nicer than others in their style , but, it all comes down to the same thing.
Pisces live to start trouble, this all was to start trouble and here is the evidence: Catfish started this and on page 13, her reason for starting is finally said, once asked, she said, "I cannot possibly sit by and let you make a comment on things without getting stirred up"
That's all this is, the typical Pisces wanting to argue. No different from me, just a different approach.
Give it a rest everyone, don't you realize by now, the fish just like to argue?
Pisces rule of thumb: I'm right, you're wrong, period!!!
I am right when I know what's in MY own mind. Branh kept insisting that I hated this country, I hated him, on and on and on, blah, blah, blah. No one seemed to have a problem when he felt it was fine to make himself an authority of me, to misquote and misuse my words in general.
HUMOR? If you consider that funny then you're truly the pathetic one.
You started this Catfish, 17 pages later and you're still raging, insisting you're right when in fact, nobody is right, because it's just an opinion.
Opinions are like asshles, don't you know that? But, still you rage.
Are you done yet? Or, do we still need to hear more of your self-righteous arrogance that insists that only YOUR opinions count?
Yes, pathetic . . . and much, much worse I've been called over the years. And you know what, I don't care because I know who I am. Everytime I come on here and start a fight, I know exactly what I'm doing. You can ask the numerous people I've debated with, they argued with me - but, I can stand here and say that I know I'm wrong when I'm wrong.
And starting an arguement over an opinion - not a fact - an opinion shows how stupid you are and you've not the wisdom to see it. It's an opinion, Catfish.
And you're not being a provocatuer and a hyprocrite? When I want someone to tell me how to behave and I'll give you a call. Until then, I'll do as I please.
"And you're not being a provocatuer and a hyprocrite" You're truly hopeless it seems, for your answer to me is accusing me of not knowing that I provoke, when if the sentence was taken for what I said, I said that I start fights.
Catfish, stop and look around at yourself. Can you not see?
Yes, everyone knows that the Pisces says what they want when they want to. Yes, yes, we all already know this stuff.
Sucking?. Dicks.. its all in your filthy mind idiot.. Admit it bitch? you cant think differently.. don?t you..— Sucking?. Dicks? sucking?. Dicks?it s all you can say idiot? and you think it Is funny.. Semi..American bullshits?! Admit it.. you are an IDIOT and that?s it? Next?
What a shame...I saw the title of this thread and - especially after reading Branh's *intelligent* comments on interracial dating, as quoted in the opening thread - I immediatelly wanted to join in in destroying his always feeble non-arguments. Alas, 'tis was not meant to be! This thread seems to have deteriorated into an orgy of sex and nationalism 🙂
brahn, you sound like a prude, and unenlightened; you STILL seem upset with yourself...silly boy, lol!!! Life is about L-I-V-I-N-G; what life can you have if you reject people based on the color of their skin, did your dad take you on his knee one day and decide to tell you to hate people this way?...Wow, and you call yourself a virgo?
What is the most ridiculous thing that a psychic ever told you that actually came true. Mine told me that at least 3 different people were going to give me large sums of money. I just said yeah right. She also told me that I'm going to marry my virgo and
Hi. I see you are new. Hope you enjoy the boards. I've only been around a while myself and it has been very interesting to say the least. We need as many Virgo males as possible.
I have a september virgo guy friend and he told me that he likes me and wants to go out wit me etc but he wont say he his opinion about anything and when i asked him about it he says he has nothing to say. I just want to hear how feels about things and se
Hi guys, Remember me? I haven't posted for a couple of months. I had a relationship with a virgo that turned into such a disaster. I met him at the end of last November. He had just gotten out of a 5 year relationship in July so I was pretty skeptical t
I'm a scorpio and my girlfriend is virgo and when it comes to sex neither of us will deny that the sex is incredible. But i always have to intiate the sex and i was wondering is there anyway to turn my girlfriends sexual clark kent attitude into a super m
Back again---Geez, Here I thought I was understanding things. I'm virgo and he's scorpio--we've been together 3 years--we live together. The Scorpios well-known sexuality/sensuality--not sure what's happened to my guy. I know that I never initiate sex and
I (Aqua Female)have been in a relationship for five months with a Virgo Man. Everything started out great. We would spend weekends together and we would talk on the phone every night during the week. He used to make statements like he felt he was getting
Anyone heard of this before? Aside from Mercury being Virgo's ruling planet for now as said by astrologer, and later Vulcan will be discovered, Linda Goodman talks about this in her "Love Signs": Virgo + Virgo section, what else do you all know?
Despite the fact they try to hide it, Virgo's in my opinion are fairly emotional. They are especially very emotional when the situation comes to crows consciense.
VIRGO IN LOVE Goodness know why word has it that Virgos are the staunch realists of the zodiac - the sign that is to romance what chalk is to cheese - but ignorance breeds many falsehoods. In truth Ms Virgo yearns to be swept away by love and passion
I am discoverying quite quickly and uncomfortably that Virgos have a tendency to flip flop - nice one day, mean and surly the next without any explanation. Is it a game thing or just a pain in the ass controlling mechanism that is a character flaw? <
When Virgo and Scorpio are engaged in a relationship, who do you think tends to 'come out on top'? Will one of the two dominate in the end, or are these signs more or less equally matched? This question comes from personal experience, where both I and she
We all know that what represents the sign of a virgo is a female virgin..& i know many who act like virgins; rarley think about sex, tend to dislike publicly speaking about their sexuality, etc. etc. Has anyone else noticed though (usually in female) that
Do you know what this is? It is certainly a handicap! Furthermore, if you knew someone who had it, how would you change your behaviour towards that person? Is it possible, even in a small measurement, that everyone may have a dose of it within the make
Do you really think there is that much difference between the two? I know, Brahn, you had stated on another thread that you thought there were a lot of differences. Can you elaborate?
You really don't get it do you?
