Jeremy's Debts

[susan]

Hello Maggie still trying to work out what the voting system would have achieved posters who are rude don't care anyway posters like me vote for everyone and love rude people as much as nice people

[susan]

Grahame the voting system would only work if posters were light hearted and did not take it too seriously but human beings being what they are do take it seriously with the exception of harters especially the females claws come out

[Caroline]

The point is that no one listened to me and so they went ahead with it. Probably because you all think I'm a luny with no intelligence. As I said before, human nature does not change. It is when people introduce silly things like the smite application you soon discover that "adults" are sometimes just taller children.

I don't think I have ever even suggested such a thing. BUT, if people didn't experience things for themselves, we might never have moved past cave painting.

Yes but you don't expect them to go BACK to cave painting.

[Jane]

Well on past history no it wouldn't have been because human nature doesn't change.

Grahame, what a very sad indictment

[Jane]

A 'HUGE' mistake?

Alright it started a little bit of bickering, but it wasn't as if the pope was struck by a meteorite or anything. 

That must have been when you left us then. You clearly didn't experience the backlash.

But it's true April. Men are still the same as they were when history was first recorded. Men still hate, murder, go to war, cheat on one an other, covet oneanother's possessions, wives husbands riches etc. The only thing that has changed is the technology used to commit all these things.

Collectively, none of what you say can be denied, Grahame. Individually, I HAVE to believe it's possible for people to change and unless they're given the chance they won't know what's possible.

Oh yes of course men can change. Unfortunately they haven't yet.

No, but you would imagine that those who had experienced cave painting would be able to get better at it - that their drawings would become more advanced and more mature in their composition. Instead it seems some haven't got past eating the crayons or poking one or two up their noses!

I can't even do cave painting. And no I'm not very mature. But who cares anyway? It's only a forum.
The problen with forums is that they give folk the impression they know one another. But in actual fact (1) We only reveal what we want to reveal. (2) We think we reveal only what we want to reveal, but fail miserably. (3) I'm sure we would all get on wonderfully if we actually met and got to know one another? In other words a forum represents a false portrait of ourselves.

[susan]

Ha Ha Grahame we could all get a shock if we met up I could turn out to be a little highland laddie with a long grey beard and a glass eye and walking with a stick and you could be a gorgeous blonde and scipio may want you to shake your booty

Grahame, this -ANY- forum is only a microcosm of society. The bickering -and friendships- here are simply representative of what goes on in the wider world. We hide behind our masks whether we're on here or out there.

I agree - but you can't help what impression others get, only the one you try to portray. Even when you're being honest, there are some who just insist in believing what they want. I'm sure we would all get on and I'm sure we'd all be a damn sight politer in face to face exchanges. Perhaps we should organise a Jeremy Bamber Forum get together? I'd be game!
