Over the past 7 years or so, one of my main goals was to completely stop judging others. I still have to bite my tongue and have not mastered it (yet) but I really do hope to eventually. In the meantime, all I have to say is that I believe we are all equal and we all have our own crosses to bear and personal demons to deal with. What some may consider frivolous or insignificant, others may have a really hard time dealing with and visa versa. I'm grateful I have my issues to cope with and not the hell that others may have to go through.

I dont think I'm better than anyone else, we all just have different ways of dealing with things. And this stems from how we are influenced by friends and family. Some people can stop smoking at the drop of a hat. I've experimented with worse and never ever became addicted, but for the life of me i dont have the balls to quit smoking. A good childhood friend of mine committed suicide a month ago. We went through the same troubles as children and teenagers... Besides 2 beautiful children she couldnt find a reason to go on... Her inner strength was gone. There was nothing to fight for... When I had my daughter I had everything to fight for.... It's a mindset and its very difficult to change once a person has a certain mindset. But its not impossible. So no I dont think I'm better than anyone, but perhaps just a bit emotionally stronger

I am intrigued as to why you are asking the question DB.

That was my point as posted earlier......

I thought your post was aimed at the respondents, rather than at DB.

Agree. Its an odd one. Feels like the response from DB was written before the question was posed......so i guess we just need to wait for the next installment

Nobody is obliged to answer.

Given what a lot of people are posting on places like Facebook the question actually makes a lot of sense.

Yes, we know that but are just wondering why you posed the question.

Because, to quote a PM I received last night, Dougal's Breakfast is "a cockroach masquerading as a human being" and a "c**t".

I posed the question because a famous celebrity just died and lots of people are commenting on it. If you don't want to answer the question, you don't have to. If you do, then please feel free.

Quite frankly, I don't give a **** either way.

What a completely fatuous and nonsensical question

Confused.....whats the connection between the PM and the question?

Sometimes a question is just a banana.

I was wondering what the connection was between your post and the question.

So it goes.

I don`t think Assassin meant you with his post . He is to nice for that

How long is a piece of string??



Something else which springs to mind here:

"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
George Orwell - Animal Farm

I think after this weekend's tragedies, the importance of being mentally healthy can no longer be denied.

Good job it's in "Off topic", then isn't it..?

Sorry.....was just an honest question....connected to the path down which you took the thread....

Anyway, apologies if i didn't get the script and i shall leave you to your odd thread

Ahh, I see now ... it is just a round-about, convoluted way for you to get back publicly at the sender of the PM, DB (and I think I know who it was)
