    Growing up watching shows that had some swears and by time I was a teenager there was no censoring of my viewings. So I freely watch things with swears and I certainly swear a lot, though I very seldom write swears though I had to because, well dialog between a lot of teenagers is filled with them especially when being stalked by a supernatural forest demon. In terms of the last movie, well I rewatched Stephen King's It, and, unlike the book I can't recall a single time that movie swore. Nor was it really violent, unlike the book...Here's the trailer reworked to make it look like a family film, I laughed.

    yes! go me, I can identify plants now lol Not as easy as say the marijuana plant (interesting note, it grows wild in India-it's like their dandelion or something) but something within me knew that was the plant!

    But seriously, it's usually leftovers from the night before. I wake up very late as I go to bed very late, those are the hours I most enjoy existing, working-everything. Today it will be a sandwich.

    I always wondered what Yokoshima was, I was totally aware of the dreams and that I was dreaming (as per requirement for lucid dreams) but was not in control of them. Other people saw her (as I described her) in their dreams too...

    I wonder if I could ever write a children's book...

    Well they can't all be winners, for the record I obviously do think America has a culture, sure I may think it's strange and sometimes silly but they seem happy so who am I to rain on their fun. And I think your country gets along with eachother better then mine does (I don't think the US looks at itself and says "jeez that state sucks!") Canada has, well depends on where you live to dictate which provinces you dislike, usually Quebec is on the list though

    you don't know me, at all. so I will excuse the fact that you have no idea how I interact with the people here and how I think.

    One can understand that, but what do you do when you have a population of people that don't have an even ratio (eg more women then men). I've heard it on the forum before but you can't honestly expect people to be alone and happy, you think they're gonna stay active? they may but some certainly would fall away, especially since the church is real keen on marriage and families. They don't seem to know what to do with single people, after a little while, I rememeber, no one really had any idea what to say to me since they were all married (or young kids) and I was a single man.

    my favourite Nicholas Cage scene has an F bomb so I can't show it

    where I grew up you can get them in little machines in shopping malls.

    Let's just say I am just not a good fit and would cause more problems then any bishop could ever imagine.
  12. Lakumi
    And you think that's the best idea? To focus everything inwards when you want to go outwards? And something like putting my faith in the afterlife, a life I am not totally sure exists, not something I want to do, and not something a lot of people want to do I imagine.

    It was a joke, wait until you hear about the jokes about my (Canada's) culture...
  14. Lakumi
    a culture is a people, if you take away a people you don't have a culture, it's just stories and ideas. The Mormons are the culture, they made it and keep it alive. As I said I don't understand its culture, or people or whatever you want to call it. The people want more members but are closed off or the culture is, whatever, call it what you want. It's closed off, but unlike others, they keep saying they want people, they go to your door!

    No quin, horses are terrible people! I used to think as a very young child you had to get married like by law or something and the only way you didn't was becoming some sort of priest. I hated both those idea's, and was happy to find out marriage is a choice and I didn't have to do that. Or that you can marry a Nintendo DS

    I think if you come from a country with a culture then you understand its people a lot more then say Americans, since the US has no culture (I think the closest it comes is race cars, baseball and telling other countries about how its the best in the world then wonder why the world hates them).

    I can't believe that. If God really knows me that well, he wouldn't have allowed my childhood to happen, or my adolesance. You think a bad situation is bearable when a young kid says he doesn't want to live anymore? That doesn't sound bearable to me. He may have promised he wouldnt give me more then I could bear, but he didn't keep it. Or maybe because I don't/didn't go to church and told him I hated him all those times, who knows...

    I noticed at the most recent anime convention I went to, for a joke I had brought my Lamb Chop puppet (long story from a doll show I went to in the spring) and it had an insanely large number of people who said how much they loved it. People hugged it, kissed it, I didn't matter, it was like being an assistant to a famous person. She had her picture taken with dozens of people. I miss Lamb Chop's Play Along...

    I'd keep it all, dress like a pirate and... well I'd be rich so it wouldn't matter

    There's far too many poisonous snakes in the Phillippnes, including Pit Vipers, Cobra's, Coral Snakes and Sea Snakes, that is a deal braker if I ever heard one! Threat of Cobra's could put a lot of strain on my marriage.

    Yeah I can understand that, but there's other things that baffle me that, originally I just thought was an American Mormon thing but the ones here do it too. They seem to want nothing to do with the community, all the other churches do a huge amount of things (its always advertized in the paper) and the LDS one never does. You'd think a church that is actively trying to get members would...I donno, let people know they exist? My family has lived here for decades and had no idea they were there, most don't and this isn't a big city, actually its more like a large town. Kind of hard to hide things, but they do it pretty well. One would assume they'd be all gung ho about community involvement, not just their own community. That doesn't exactly draw people in when you keep to yourselves. Any bunch of people who keep to themselves and within their own culture, exclusively, everyone on the outside is gonna think they're weird. People think the Amish and Mennonites are weird, and I try not to think Mormons are weird (at times) but when I hear things akin to "don't marry outsiders, better to be alone then with them" you're weird! I'm weird too, it's not a bad thing, but you can't act surprised when people think that's weird.

    Yeah there are 7 billion on the planet, and 13 million Mormons, they figure about half are active. But here's something to ponder. Say I get baptized and temple recommend, all the Mormon things, and yet even because of that I would be a terrible fit for most Mormon women because I am so very strange and unorthadox in my thinking and life, etc. Just because I'd be worthy doesn't mean I'd, at all, be a good fit. That's a recipie for divorce, and I'd never limit myself to a small group of people, and I don't think anyone should, I guess unless that group is far bigger then 13 million. That's not alot in the grand scheme of things.
  23. Lakumi
    Actually...it kind of does... I would imagine it would be easier to keep members if they are happy even if married to a non member, then sad and alone. What is a valid reason to throw in a towel? You don't think its a tad cruel to tell people "so sorry, you'll be alone forever cause people out there are terrible, sucks to be you I guess" I just don't understand the both open and closed Mormon culture

    Is that the plant cocaine is made from?

    Jumping Kangaroo Rats It's hard to believe I don't actually break any rules... being strange isn't against the rules I guess...it's just really strange...
