Heh. I never deliberately kill anything - except flies. And nazis. (only joking, officer) Flies are like nazi insects. And dogs are like their followers.

I completely agree with your points a-d, Kat. I suppose it does reflect a society where people feel anonymous, as if they don't matter. Proclaiming some aspect of your "identity", which you feel marks you out as special can be a pro…

Beaver, Black Woodpecker and European Brown Bears are the responsible parties. I couldn't get a shot of any vampires, as my camera doesn't have a flash (it'd have to be at night, do you see?). But I did see some very pale looking peo…

Yes, UT, the old GMB was flooded with spam. That could have been simply fixed; I suspect the GF crew got seduced by IT "creatives" who wanted to sell the latest tricksy "functionality" without thinking about the users.

The "invitation only" system surely must be a big factor. It puts a significant barrier in the way of anyone new who thinks' "Well, I'll just drop in and see what it's like" . And the general useability is clearly …

ww's post reflects an approach that is very close to one that has taken off with some mental health professionals in the last few years, here in the UK. Probably the best known is the "five ways to well being" Its not perfect, but …

I like to fantasise about swimming with Emma Peel circa 1966. :x And you would be about 3 years old? You weirdo.

It is too quiet on here right now. So talk about anything.....
I think PG's advice may be the solution to 90% of life's problems. Also the cause of them.

Interesting to see the grain of sand poem by Service, WW. I have always imagined that the Black Cherry lyric is derived from Blake's "Augeries of Innocence" ...To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infi…

Change has to be taught and followed through...and belief systems must be learned. This seems true. The hard thing is that a changed belief system must start somewhere. Most religion seems to designate a single person as a role model to be follo…

The only lengthy poem that I know by heart is E A Poe's "Dream Within a Dream", on account of it being the lyric to a Propaganda song. Interesting how putting music to words makes it so much easier. live Take this kiss upon the brow…

Unfortunately Humankind has very little grasp on the visible, physical world..let alone the invisible, spiritual one. Perhaps a search for God is just an attempt to find a benevolent and loving force in the world when faced with an unjust or cruel…
