Don’t worry about hanging with the cool kids. The harder people try to be cool, the more unreal they become. Be yourself.

Having a handicapped child is a big challenge, but people with challenges just as big find a way to overcome them. What are some specifics of your situation? What are your goals and how are you trying to achieve them? Don’t mistake difficult circumstances for some kind of cosmic or divine curse. You are in control of your future.
2009-11-27 18:23:23 on I am a 37 yr old single mother of two (boy 15 and girl 11) in Lexington, KY.
Sorry but this site is where people go for advice; we don’t give money to members.

Bears an uncanny resemblance to a human.

I completely disagree. It wasn’t cool that someone mistook him for an arsonist. Xeno’s not the kind of person who would endanger the lives of others.

PheeGee, sorry for your loss. He didn’t have to live close geographically for you to feel sorrow at his passing. Your feelings are valid; no one should make you feel guilty for expressing grief.

Into the West (the one set in Ireland starring Gabriel Byrne)

I think Shie should decide who gets the prizes since it’s her birthday. I kinda liked the deaf genie too.
2009-11-20 19:58:45 on Looking for a really fantastic movie to watch.
I’ve always wanted to see Raging Bull with Robert Deniro.
2009-11-19 06:43:58 on Yes, I was arrested.
I saw the post you’re talking about and didn’t believe it. I figured “innocent until proven guilty” was a good rule of thumb.
2009-11-19 06:41:44 on Who the hell is Xeno Dragon?
Xeno you’re not easily forgotten, although by now many of us have learned that help.com does not stand or fall on whether any one person is here. Yet this place is diminished from what it once was, and only partly because of the technical glitches. The leaving or lessening of participation by intelligent and caring members is the real loss. So, good to have you back.
What I remember most about you is your intellectual honesty. People remember your comments on religious posts because you consistently engaged in that debate, not as an atheist but as an agnostic who has an objection to the reliance on faith in general. You refuse to go along simply for the sake of going on. That means that you will have conflicts with society perhaps for your entire life. But people who have the ability to apply reason, hear different views, learn, and adapt is exactly what our planet needs to survive. The world doesn’t need “more Xeno Dragons” but it does need more individuals like you to use critical thought.
Secondly, you are a gifted writer of fiction. What’s going on with the little Moog guy? He and his human were on a journey. We’re still waiting for the next chapter.
Thirdly, you have a searing wit which I have often enjoyed. The flip side to that is your tendency to personalize criticism. People’s memories of your comments on religious posts are flavored by that. A harsh or negative reply, even an honest one, can turn a discussion into an argument. In particular fundamentalists, who tend toward intolerance, have been your target. Willful ignorance is of course a scourge, but ignorance by itself is not a moral failing, just a symptom of cultural bias. If you develop more patience with believers your words will carry more weight with them. The key as always is balance. I would not have you suffer fools gladly.
Lastly, I remember that you have been tireless in your participation on this site, giving insightful help to others in needs both trivial and dire. Your comments are frequently dead-on, cutting through the clutter. Thank you. Welcome back.

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?
