| Nobody owes you the money, nor the opposite. Owing is not a factor in this. If we want a society that has some stability, we need to acknowledge that however we come to organize it, there will be people that cannot function in it. So they are cared for in a different manner. In Europe, the Celts and... |

| Allow me to skip the ´hurray free cash´ nonsense, I am an enthusiastic poker player and well acquainted with the art of needling. It doesn´t work on me. Now I could tell how much better of a human I am because I have a job that supports my family, that I logged only 2 weeks of unemployment benefit e... |

| I have to admit you lost me at Van Der Graaf, I had to look them up, unfortunetly I don't listen to much Progressive Rock. VDGG is progressive rock with a twist. Peter Hammill´s voice is different not so much in its sort but he uses it very expressively, singing just being one way of delivering lyr... |

| I think you´d diagnose for it. I have the same doubts for different reasons. I´ll be seeing my GP this week to talk about it. My goal isn´t however being diagnosed in and of itself. I think you and many others here don´t see that as a goal either. I am definitely ´wrong planet´, ask anyone who knows... |

| Narrowing down would make it somewhat easier. In my meditation I have been able to calm my mind and slow down my racing thoughts so that I can focus a bit better. I do that from my buddhist perspective. Does that count as spiritual? |

I don't know where you got the idea that what I do is bullying Topic ´being mean´ and the remark about the third grade are usually the setting for bullying. Nowhere it was ... |

I hope I never will. It would be a waste really.

I have learned the mental shoulder shrug. Maybe someday wisdom hits him/her/it. That would be a painful experience. |

I do sometimes feed trolls much in the way 419-baiters take on 419-scammers. Don´t debate them, have fun at their expense :jester: But only in moderate ... |

| I miss third grade because it was so easy then all you had to do was know the most "your momma's so fat/stupid" jokes and you could win any confrontation. Anyone that tried that nonsense on me, I laughed in their faces. One spat on me and I sent him flying despite that I pretty much avoid confronta... |

I also like a lot of other styles of music, some popular examples being Rush, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Flipper, NEU!, Negativland, Miles Davis, Buckethead, ect. Prett... |

I very much understand it. As I said, you may like it or you may not.
If it is your kind of music, it´s great, if it´s not, there´s nothing to see there 
And there´s enough good music to make everybody happy. |

I can´t read NT body language, period. Nothing comes across. As for AS body language, I think I have some grasp of it. Wh... |

I used to like gabber music (a Dutch extreme version of hardcore house music) because you can dance on it without any motoric skills whatsoever :D Really, you can dance... |
