    I dislike posts which presume to know my mind. "Everyone is afraid to ask" How overblown is his ego that he thinks he can judge others - there's nothing in there that I'm afraid to ask.

      I have vomited so much that I feel I have been eviscerated. Such sickly-sweet sentimental aphorisms are for those that need them, or for angst-ridden teenagers still looking for their philosophy as the embark on their imago stage of existence. For those of us who have been around a few corners, who are much more embittered or cynical, and for whom life is well understood for what it is, (ie, ok, but there is a nagging doubt that it could be better) these things rile and annoy in their cloying mediocrity.

      I feel your pain. I regularly receive e-mails from my sister in law with similar content. :)

              As you might have gathered from the early reactions to your posting it is a little too close to actual feelings and emotions for many of the members. Put simply, it annoys them. It gets under their skins. It causes an itch that won't go away. Keep up the good work!:thumbsup: :laugh:

                                    The questions are not thought provoking - they are pretentious twaddle. If this sort of nonsense gets you laid then good luck to you. It does not merit serious conversation. Have you ever read a good book by lets say Arundhati Roy or Thomas Hardy. Try it. It will snap you out of this in no time.

                                        Personally I think this is a cultural thing. What I've seen from Indian people is that they like this sort of stuff on contrary of Europeans or Americans who don't hate them per so, no, they genuinally loath them. In any case don't take the flaming personally.
