Rach was under the impression that I was going to sass about her lack of disclosure about wanting only a casual relations ip with a boy who (by definition) is going to become attached (yes, I was 23 once.. :))
That was the old Adam… the new Adam is more ‘live and let live folks’….
Or at least i’m still trying to convince myself of that fact….

I’m going to have a whinge now…
People who complain about something that’s free and doesn’t work 100% of the time….
Of course my reference is to those Internet services which volunteers dedicated buttloads (i’m putting buttloads out there) of time, money (theirs, not yours) and pain to then be senselessly abused at every turn as they attempt to make your lives a little more interesting.
If you pay for a service… fine… go ahead and whinge (in the appropriate medium!), I respect that. But get something for free and it’s a gift. It might not always be exactly what you want, but guess what, you smile and be thankful that someone has done it for you.
I personally know that Diaryland is a monstrosity of hardware, technical expertise and a serious cash-drain on Andrews pocket (he’s just started to right-side that and hopes to have everything paid off in the next year or so), but people think that their ISP fees give them rights to whine from the outset at any 47 second outage.
And frankly kids, it pisses me off.
No such thing as a free lunch.. never has and never will be.

Moral of the story: If two people just aren’t going to agree on something then you should let it go…

Which of course raises the next topic that i’ll write about…. what boundaries do we each have in our lives?
As mentioned earlier some of my friends are horrified at some of the discussions that I have with people who I work with. To me we’re just openly discussing important topics, or topics that we find highly amusing. But where do we draw the line and say ‘that’s enough’ .. I mean I despise racism, violence and those stupid Japanese cartoons like Dragonball-Z, but what about everyone else?
When does discussing 90 of the 101 sexual-zen positions become outside of good taste? If the discussion is about sterilising women in Africa to control birth rate are we really pushing the boundaries?
I happily adapt to the environment I work/live in, but I do know that i’ll generally always have a segment of my personality which people find offensive. It’s a constant battle in my own mind to diffuse what’s reality (ie what is in poor taste) and what’s simply prejudice from external sources and ’societal values’ …..
We did come from the readings of the bible as the law to a much more relaxed view to spirituality, but when is it too much…
I don’t think any of us have the answer.

p.s - For those that saw the original post I was a)having the last word in an argument and b)bitching about something I believe in, but both of these could be construed as a personal attack which was not my motivation.
a)I’ve removed all references
b)I’ve left the statement in about ‘free rides’ because I believe in it, i’m just no referencing my original motivation

Go Kev! Who said romance was dead? With a line like that, I’m just shocked you have’nt got em lining up at your door! Maybe it’s not the size of your cock that matters, it’s probably the fact it’s on your forhead…….moron! Take a valium and a glass of milk.
