• (5 votes) The Basic Needs In A Relationship
  

  Freedom. If you are free, you will have fun, which generates love and belonging. As others see your love and belonging they see you as wiser then them selves. This gives you power. With greater power comes grater survivability.
  
  When you truly listen to someone, you begin to accept them, which generates respect. With a respect for someone comes the natural ability to support there decisions. Mutual support generates trust. When you truly trust someone, negotiating differences is easy and hardly ever necessary.
  
  Criticism should be given honestly and accepted as intended. Blaming is only necessary to determine whom to criticize. Complaining is a form of nagging and should be stopped before it becomes threatening. Be wherry of rewarding as the absence of the reword becomes a punishment.

  What do you mean love isn’t real?
  
  Let me tell you something useful. Love is not what you are feeling for someone. Love is the actions you take for that someone. Love is something you DO, not something you FEEL. If you can remember that during the worst of times life will be a breeze…

• (3 votes) Is Muslim God, Allah the same as Christian God, Jesus?
  

  Hmmm… I am noticing the same pattern here that I see in every discussion of this nature. I will automatically disregard any Bible or Qur’an quote that does not have the ten verses leading up to it AND the ten verses that go immediately after. I have seen, far too often, things taken way out of context and twisted to believe people are not always twisting the words to some degree. I have not yet read the Qur’an. That is on my to read list. I have other priorities tho… My beliefs and morals are well established and I have no doubt in my mind about them.
  
  I do know some Muslims, however, and they happen to all be very nice and good people. In fact, I can safely say that in times of true need on my part, they where there before the Christians. I think one of the biggest differences in the 2 religions is not WHAT they teach but HOW they teach it. Muslims tend to be more observant to there surroundings while Christians tend to be more observant to there sins. Neither way is wrong. Just different approaches.
  
  A book like the Qur’an or Bible is much like this post. There is no inflection. You can not hear a voice when you read the words. Read them aloud. Read them as an angry person would. Then read them as a happy child would. See the difference in meaning just by the change in voice. Much is left up to the readers interpretation. Let us not forget that every religion has its extremists. There is a lot of Muslim bashing going on in the western world of late. Many say that the Qur’an teaches “Kill the infidels!”. I say look at history and do not forget that 4 Popes where famous for saying the Bible says “Kill the infidels!”. These where called the Crusades and the Inquisition. Even Buddha has been quoted “Kill the infidels!”. I believe all to be misinterpretations purposely put forth by men of power who want something and see the “faithful” as a good resource easily persuaded to bring it to them. There are those that fallow a religion because they truly believe. Then there are those who fallow a religion because they are told it is the right thing to do and wish to do no wrong. It is the latter that fall pray to the evils of a corruption in there faith. We would all like to say we are the former. The only way to prove this, however, is to see what you actually do when your life and the lives of those you love are at stake.
  
  My 3 cents worth. I will not openly discuss my beliefs for I see this as moot. But, I am happy to answer any questions people have. Be warned if it is an open question that you may not understand the answer.

• (2 votes) Do you like me ?
  

  I have been that long haired loner guy… I know what it is like. Work made me cut it. Or I would still be that guy. Odd how it changed peoples out look of me. I also go walking randomly. Just be sure to carry a pack of smokes with you. I do not smoke but, people who do will tell you anything you want to know when you offer them a cig. They probably would not have given you the time of day had you payed them money but, they will answer any question for that cig… We are the type of people that have to initiate conversation, otherwise people are just to intimidated by us. Not because we are scary. Because we are out side the level of there comfort zone.
  
  Find a youth group or adventure group to join. Give me your city and I will see what I can come up with. Feel like possibly joining a volunteer S.A.R. group?

• (1 vote) REALITY CHECK FOR ALL OF US!
  

  Hello all. I have skimmed this whole post. There where several complaints about the arguing in it in the general mod reports. I am activating my war time powers and enforcing a new rule. A copy of this rule is being email you our admin. So, for the one who is really not going to like it… I have already told on my self.
  
  Rule: Anon abuse will not be tolerated any more.
  
  ^j^lil_bit_shie^j^ If you are not going to say anything nice and are going to continue to incite arguing you are going to be banned for a lot longer then 24 or 48 hours. I do not give a flying rats ares if you did not START it… You kept it going.
  
  Yes people. From now on I WILL reveal any person hiding behind anon to do nothing but through insults or incite arguments. If you are going to use the anon function, then use it for what it is meant for. Mean, rude, argumentative, and baiting comments are NOT what the anon function was meant for.
