What do you call people who adopt other opinions without researching them?

by DavidChristopher in

i was talking to two elders yesterday..... i was confronted about the whole "bad associations" question.

i asked them what "bad associations" were.

they have no idea what bad associations are to the author, only their opinions and the opinions of their chosen leaders.

i've just put this on the hard drive for my mother and i notice that when you open it it pops up with the days text and what i'm presuming is the schedule for this weeks tms schedule.. why does this make me gag?

How often do you bathe?

by BlessedStar in

i heard something and i would like to know the truth so i'll ask this question..... how often do you bathe and change your underwear?.

i heard that people from certain places don't bathe for days and only change their underwear when it gets really deteriorated.. .

It made me feel really sad to watch that. Both of them looked uncomfortable doing something that their gut probably tells them is wrong but their brainwashing makes them do. The younger guy seemed way out of his depth. It makes me sad to think of the well intentioned elders I knew, are in my family, behaving so harmfully.

from summer after next, smoking will be banned in any public place including pubs and clubs in england.. although i plan on giving up again, i still don't agree with government interfering like this.

they had previously.

made proposals for some pubs to remain licensed for smoking which i thought would have been a workable compromise.

You English new that being ruled by Scots would result in you following our lead...

I'm a little more scunnered by the ID cards to be honest.

a lot of people are worrying about these uprisings, riots and violence being done----it seems everywhere.

i've read how some feel that europe does not have the ability as a union to fight against this.

is this like it was in germany prior to ww!!

I think you'll find a lot of the rioters in Clichy-sous-Bois were French, though maybe of French Colonial parentage.

How many here were homeschooled?

by Highlander in

.

i'm quite new here, so i apologize if this topic has been covered.. the reason i ask this,, i was raised in the midwest.

a majority(more than 50%) of the children at the local congregation were homeschooled.. the end result was that these homeschooled kids had social problems, found it difficult making and keeping friends and were completely out of touch with the world.. as these kids became adults, rarely did they stay on as witnesses and usually went to the other extreme,, you know the old saying,, sex drugs and rock n' roll..
