We weren't even talking about spouses. We WERE talking about asshole in-laws and tweaked military nuts. You aren't invited. Go justify your incapable existence somewhere else...

It's not my fault your in-laws have to deal with you. That's your husband's doing.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I have a buddy who has been married for 40 years, he is happy with his wife (she's
a lovely person) but his in-laws (well, a handful of them) are complete idiots.
He tells me he keeps them at a distance because they bring nothing but drama. It's
just the way life is sometimes. You meet someone amazing and need to build a
mote around your house for the in-laws (and sometimes your own family).

Me, I met the love of my life when I was a teenager (19) and she 17. The most
beautiful creature on the planet, and a gem of a person. We were too young.
Long story short, we lost contact. I tried everything to find her, even bumped into her step sister, but to no avail. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Meh... I dunno....

I think Paul Simon said it best when he said

Quote:
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

I think you're probably better off with the sweet memories than a shattered reality.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

This thread is a great illustration of exactly why there can be no real and true freedom. I honestly believe it's not achievable. Humanity will always be held hostage by humans that are incapable of being rational... or adult... or unwell. We all need to deal with the fact that the scope of freedom for some isn't even on the same page, let alone the same book as others..

Maybe instead of trying to make EVERYTHING work, we should let freedom be its' dysfunctional best....

Let's send everyone who wants all Mexicans dead to Texas, where building a wall will be their priority. No one will ever try to cross that border

Let's send all the Socialists to Nebraska ..... if they like sharing so much, let them go where "sharing" everything is NEVER going to be easy...so they know the true value of what they preach (make sure EVERYONE is poor though -it's the only way)

Let's drop all drug and alcohol addicts on an island with all the drugs they could ever do so their actions couldn't hurt anyone else...

Let's put all the people that have ever threatened to kill someone over a minor disagreement into coliseums and make them have to shoot their way out. Let's see them disagree with that plan

Have all the narcissists go to California and make them deal with all the other narcissists while they build the worlds' mirrors. Them film it. Oh, wait...I think that's L.A...

I haven't figured out what to do with religious extremists, but neither has anyone else. They all seem to have raging gullibility in common. Maybe throw boxes of paper over a cliff and tell them that those are tickets to heaven down there?

See, I've solved EVERY problem the world has....WHAT??

Got any better ideas???

WHY STAND IN THE WAY OF FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOM??? I think it's time to do some damn facilitatin'!!!

So what you're saying is that everyone should be free to do whatever it is that they want as long as you agree with them and they don't offend you, right?

Unfortunately, having to deal with others is the price of Freedom when you're not part of a hive mind, or you haven't gone full recluse off the grid in the middle of Nebraska somewhere.

Your Freedom is no more valuable than my Freedom is no more valuable than SGG's Freedom is no more valuable than JSF's freedom.

As long as your Freedom isn't encroaching on mine, or vice versa, that's the best system that humans are ever going to live in. Unless we all get drugged up and brainwashed to think and behave exactly the same, it's never going to be perfect.

Don't complain when people don't agree with you, or even when they offend you. You can just ignore them. That's not an attack.

When somebody attacks you physically, then you have a legal right for reciprocity in defense. When you get a stick up your ass because a neighbor is planting stuff on your yard or not taking care of theirs, you can get the city involved.

That's what cops and lawyers are for... So you don't go all crazy and stab your neighbor because they're dicks.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Aww, he thinks he's trying to school ME in freedom based on a joke, and then posting song lyrics about his lack of love life JSF's didn't even make ANY sense

When 1+2= F* for these people...how are we EVER gonna get anywhere...

I'm only happy that you and I can enjoy our own Freedom many, many miles away from each other Wishy. I feel so bad for your family. And your in-laws, for that matter. And your neighbors.... and your kid's teachers... anyone you work with... any pets you may have...

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Each of us see Freedom differently, you want to solve all the problems of the world. Me, I want to do whatever, as long as it "how you say" doesn't hurt anyone.
Real freedom is in the mind.
