Glad i've been ME on JWD
by KW13 ini am so glad that i've managed to be the real me on jwd and at worse the only thing i am guilty of is having a bit of fun by having jibes at some of my friends here, so i shall sleep soundly tonight, tomorrow and forever....sounds like i'm gonna die dont it lol.. to all those of you who are as made up as your jwd alias, if your reading this...tut tut shame on you .
sometimes i despair, i wonder why others would want to hurt fellow jwd'ers by betraying trust unless they came here from the start to hurt..or got bitter...or are just plain screwed up...we were all betrayed once, isn't that enough.
can i just confirm, there is an adult majority here right?

Death is a Terrible thing...
by KW13 inhas it sunk in for you people that your going to die yet?
i'm still avoiding the thought but it lurks in the back of my mind, i'm aware someday i've got to address it - like many here i didnt expect to live this far in this system, so i haven't any plan for life as of yet.. death frightens me.
i cannot sometimes watch a film with death of a character in a tragic way - there one moment with family/friends and a life and then not...i read the story about challenger the rocket that exploded and how the crew onboard that shuttle may well of been aware they were going to die.

Yes it is, but a life not lived is even worse.
We are all going to die someday, so let's make each and every moment count.
Concentrate on life not death. Learn something everyday. Do something nice for someone else every day. Do something nice for you everyday
Changeling, I feel exactly the same way but could not have said it as well as you.
Yes, I know I am going to die. And it does frighten me.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. -

I'm me also.
Unfortunately, I see alot of the same pettiness and BS here that I saw in the Borg. I guess people are people no matter where you find them, every organization (or forum) is merely a microcosm of humanity in general. So we will always have the feebs, the dweebs, the twits, the twats, the liars, the boasters, the backstabbers, the posers and losers, no matter where you go.
I just try to filter as much as I can and give zero energy to those that do not wish to be honest and up front about who and what they are. To give them my attention only empowers them. Frankly I had my bellyfull in the Borg. Hate to see the same BS here.
Now that said, if you wish to be an a$$hole (not you KW) at least be an honest a$$hole. You will at least have my respect for your honesty.

Oh Great, another "Bash America" thread.
I have worked in many foriegn countries, many of them in the third world.
When you step off a plane and the first thing that hits you is the smell of open sewers and rotting flesh you realize that . . .
The US isn't so bad.

This was one of the things that screamed to me that something was wrong in the org.
Many times I had elders break a confidence I had with them. As a result of these betrayals, I trust almost no one today with the exception of my youngest brother, my mom, and my wife.

Oomp, I have a casino literally 1 mile from my house. I go there a couple times a year with $20 just to remind myself why I don't go there more often!! And I usually see some dubs there.
Outlaw, where in BC? I worked an extensive Telecomm project in Vancouver for BC Tel back in the 80s, also in Alberta for AGT, (Edmonton, Banf, and Calgary)

Thanks for posting that, Brinjen. Very interesting. I fully believe that the Church Of Scientology is capable of blackmail, and more.
I'm no expert, but what I know about Scientology makes The Borg look pretty tame. I came pretty close to accepting studies with them back in the 80's (After my first departure from the Borg) until I did some research about them. Very scary.
I used to enjoy Tom Cruise as an entertainer. Now I can't stand the sight of the twit. At least John Travolta doesn't make a public ass of himself.
