Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
Indeed, yes. I do believe so. You got to understand the nature of insecurity. Most of these people are people who don't work and have no desire. If they are young they are kids that don't care and has a poor environment. They do not have parents that look out for their best interest and in turn make stupid decisions. When they are young it might not be their fault or not at least all the way. However, when you're older there's absolutely no excuse. Yet, in a way they do, but it is their responsibility to go get help. They have not been taught how to live or react to situations. However, the problem lies here. they feel insecure. They feel bad about themselves, and have no control in that respect. So, they reach out and seek to control and push around people. The problem with this group is, that they are outwardly very friendly, and they seem to be great, but they aren't actually. They like to help people. It's not for the good of people, it's about themselves. It's about power and there aims and goals. they push people around instead of leading. They do not want the well being of people ultimately. The problem is this, we all are selfish to some degree, you, me, and everyone around us. The problem is the factors of insecurity magnifies the selfishness tenfold.
Q.2 Who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother,sister/sister,brother/brother?
I don't really have an answer here. It's all of them yet it's none of them. I take an all of them stance. I am a fan of humanistic psychology. I think people can change and adapt. I think people choose things. Circumstances and environment does not. Does it honestly matter if it's sister sister, brother brother or sister brother? I think humans adapt to whatever situation they are in. I think all of these could work just as well or as badly. It's not the influences. It's the people, and the choices they make!
Q.3 Why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
As a person who has really never read twilight, and a firm opposer of the books, I do have an answer. first, I've read 17 pages of the first book. didn't go any further. I decided to not waste anymore time. So, I am also a old fashion kind of lady. I believe in ethics and systems used back in the 40S and 50s. I believe this especially in relationships. The man should rule, but I believe the woman has rights as well as in modern times. However, I believe in a true, kind of marriage where it's not about looks or anything of the sort. It is purely on personality and traits. I also believe lifestyle should be similar to the old fashioned type but with respect to the women. I also believe Women should be able to go out and work. As I understand it this is nothing like bella and Edwards relationship. Also, I do not believe He had any write to stalk her and watch her sleep through the window. A realistic woman would have been disgusted! If he had asked, which would be strange, but all the same, and she had agreed that he may watch her sleep then sure. there's also a ton of other morals I do nnot agree with in twilight!
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
What a question! that is very interesting. I believe strength. However, it is circumstancial. Sometimes politeness and civility is best! Sometimes being strong is best. It really all depends. There's a time and place for everything. listen to the song turn! turn! turn! you'll see exactly what I mean. You can't laugh everywhere you go nor can you cry. there's an appropriate timing for laughing. and for crying. You can't not look awkward for laughing very loudly at a funeral as everyone's sobbing about there lost loved one. It would be inappropriate to cry when someone tells a joke. take that logic and apply it to strength and politeness and you have it. You can't be polite when you're beating up your worst enemy who just killed your friend. That would be foolish! He would kill you. You can't be rough with a kid. Well, you can, but that's not the way to go.
As a Disabled individual I am very known for being extremely strong and outspoken. I've been told I am inspirational. If I didn't do all this stuff with strength and being strong I would be no where today. I wouldn't be as inddependent and successful as I am today. At some point in your life you're going to realize you can't let people push you around.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
Of course. Speaking from a person who enjoys psychology, people, and understanding people especially the wweak, I think so. A person doesn't commit or attempt to commit suicide to please themselves or to intentionally harm others. They don't do it to commit a crime, or anything else. Most of them who does it needs help and a lot of it too! They don't need to be convicted, confronted, or anything of the sort. they need guidance, support, love, and some protection. Most of them needs to be encouraged, and must learn how much each individual really means to the world. Most of them are in a desperate shape, some needs to be in a different environment, especially kids. teens and children don't commit suicide for the fun of it. Most of them have family problems and can't live with it. Usually I think, that with a lot of therapy, it might help.
And these people, aren't playing around, it's not fun to be diagnosed with suicidal tendencies or anything other mental issues. It's not fun, trust me, to be insane or mentally unhealthy. They don't want to be, no one would wish it it's painful. Mental hospitals aren't fun and neither are taking drugs for mental disabilities. It's not a problem to blame them for it's a problem to get help with. People don't like nor do they want problems, why would they be playing around. A lot of these people think they have no other option and really need the support badly.
Q.6 Would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
Absolutely not! I don't tolerate that kind of thing. People can't be gay. It's a funny concept really. sometimes I think people confuse love with other emotions such as friendship, care, and other feelings. A man and man or woman and woman can't produce.
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
No....... I do not actually. this is a much easier question to answer. and can be more definite! My parents and myself disagree on most things. they are completely on the left and I am completely on the right. I am pretty far right too, and they are pretty far left! I don't think that works out well. We both think each others views are absurd. There's a whole bunch of other ordeals too.....
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
I don't consider this playing much..... I enjoy to do this type of thing to show people what I think. I take them as little paragraph writing prompts! As to why I am doing this. I've been tired all day, I couldn't really sleep last night and I am trying to keep my eyes open. And, if I do anything serius, that will look like junk.
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
agreed, actually. they shouldn't matter but they do. which is the impression. People can't bothered to take time to know your personality. they look at you and try to decide.That's how society works. It's been so for ages. Why? Perhaps, people have no time for personalities and trying to discover them.
Q.10 Is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
You're funny. of course there is. discrimination I am afraid will always exist. there will always be hatred for the colored people as much as we like to deny it. It has gotten much better, yes, but willl it always exist I am afraid so. The discrimination against gender has been in existence for ages and centuries. It will last. You can dream and hope for it not to, but it will. There will never be equality.
Good writing, rachel! Did you get tired at the end, lol
Oh gese more of this nonsence? Rachel, being bored out of my mind on newyears, I could comment to some effect. But not only do I know that'll get me absolutely nowhere, but your views on some of these things make me want to slam my head against the wall. We do have freedom of speech, and I'm going to exercise that right by pointing out that your somewhat ignorant of many things.
For 1, society has a tendency to change it's form of manners which is why the 1940's and 1950's are unrealistic. Evolution of man should be encouraged, and really it's that stiff no-nonsence pollicy that made people rebellious in the first place.
secondly, What the hell do you have against gay people? I find this ironic, because recently you complained about how people in publics were making fun of a girl with autism/bipolarity yet you express hatred toward those who didn't do a thing to you Other than that, I didn't get worked up. But really I've learned rapidly, that there's no point in getting in to it with you because you'll hide behind your mighty mighty ignore button when someone tries to hold a conversation. I'm done ranting! so hahaha
sigh... I'm stayin out of it, lol
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
That doesn't even make sense. What does insecurity have to do with being selfish? That said, it can make people more angry, hateful or generally unpleasant. On the flip side, it can also create shyness, low self-esteem and nervousness. I guess it depends on how it manifests itself in people.
Q.2 Who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother,sister/sister,brother/brother?
I think this is a very individual question which cannot adequately be answered in a general way. I have a twin brother, but we're not close at all. In fact, we don't even talk to one another! The same holds true for my half brother and half sister.
Q.3 Why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
I haven't the slightest idea. I haven't read or seen it. From what I could gather, it's some kind of teeny bopper love story about vampires.
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
Honesty. When that means being strong, so be it. But that doesn't mean you should be rude for the sake of it. When possible, be polite. Of course, certain situations, such as at a workplace, in the military etc. require that you hold your tongue, which is understandable. But I was referring to life in general.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
Absolutely. While it should never be taken lightly or done for a silly reason (I just broke up with my boyfriend, whom I've only known for three months), there are are times when it's perfectly acceptible. If, for example, your partner of decades died, and you're elderly and honestly can't imagine living without him/her, if you're terminally ill or in excrutiating pain that nothing can cure, , if you've lost a child and are so grief-stricken that you no longer desire to live etc. Even in all of the above, counseling should be advised and you should really think on it. But ultimately, though we as friends, family members, co-workers etc. don't want someone to take their life, it really is his/her body and choice.
Q.6 Would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
I would like it if people paid more attention to grammar and spelling. As for one of my ciblings being a homosexual, it wouldn't effect me one way or the other. I would support him/her no matter what. Love is a beautiful thing and should be respected. To Dominique Taggart, I realise that you expressed your opinion on this and it's just that. But I was seriously shocked to read it. My parents are lesbians and have been together for 23 years. They had a civil union a few years ago, and have never cheated, fought, lied, or desired anyone of the opposite sex. Could you honestly say that they, and people like them, don't know how they feel? I'm heterosexual, but was voluntarily sterilised. So I can't reproduce either, even though I only go with men. Does that make my love any less real?
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
I definitely idolise Mom. To make a long story short, my biological mother is her half sister and was a heroin addict. Mom took me when no one else wanted me (except my father, who was unprepared to care for me), even though she didn't originally want children and sacrificed everything so that I could have and so that she could be there for me whenever I needed her. We're as close as a mother and daughter could be and I love and respect her and her opinions, even if I don't always agree with them. I'm not as close with Joanie, her partner, but I do respect her and know that she also loves me. If it wasn't for her, Mom couldn't have stayed home with me, taken me to college etc.
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
That's a new concept. Playing a survey? Anyway, I enjoy answering such things and sharing information about my beliefs.
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
As Mom always says "it's a sighted world". I don't care what I wear in the house or when I'm in the yard, but when I go out, everything must match, my hair must be neat, my teeth must be brushed and the clothing must be appropriate for the task at hand.
Q.10 Is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
I personally have never seen it. Then again, barring a military dictatorship, I wouldn't tolerate it if I was at the receiving end. Yes, there are certain things which, biologically separate men and women. Men can't have children and most women can't lift as much weight as men etc. But on the whole, I think we should be treated equally and are, for the most part. But I've heard it's a bit different in Greece.
These questions are somewhat dull ... but I'll play. :P
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
Yes, insecure people tend to make their insecurity everybody elses fault. For example, if a girl is insecure & thinks that her boyfriend will leave her for another person, & she makes a point of punishing that other person (I.E. not allowing her boyfriend to talk to them, harrassing them, etc), they are making others miserable because of their own insecurity.
Q.2 Who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother,sister/sister,brother/brother?
I'm going to say all of them depending on circumstance. If a family is healthy, & the relationship between the siblings is healthy, gender shouldn't matter.
Q.3 Why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
Well I've read & watched the first two, & I can honestly say that it's based purely on shallow teenage puppydog love & crushes with a twist (vampires ... sparkly ones ...) So the many people who have not read/watched Twilight who say they don't like it are probably basing this opinion on the fact that sappy, gaga, nonrealistic romance novels don't appeal to the senses. And that's what Twilight is defined as.
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
Strength. Politeness loses it's importance very quickly in life.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
No. There are no justifications for someone to commit suicide. But when people do, or attempt to, they are justified in that they need help. So while there's no justification for the act, meaning in no case is it acceptable for someone to take their life, there is justification for the person to feel that way & to get help.
Q.6 Would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
Well, of course. I'm a lesbian, so if one of my siblings was, we could have a family gay fest. :P
On a more serious note, when I say I love another female, it is not because I want her friendship. It is because I love her, & it's no one else's business to tell me that I'm confused about my feelings for another person. Saying that it is intolerable to have a gay sibling is like saying it is intolerable to have a blind sibling. I will never be a person who puts any other human being in a position of isolation because of who they are. I'm disabled, & I am sometimes descriminated against for that. So why would I put anyone else through descrimination? Rediculous.
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
No. But I look up to my mom in some ways, not because I want to be like her, but because she is a good person who I think has done good things in her life.
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
I'm bored.
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
Agree. Many people can be judged by how they look (not completely, but as a first impression). If a person walks into a restaurant with greasy hair & dirty clothes & walking slumped & hunched, I can guess he's not a very nice or tidy person. Doesn't necessarily mean it's true, but that's an impression.
Q.10 Is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
Oh yes, there is. There is descrimination against anyone who is different, but descrimination against women is the one form of prejudice that is directed at people who are not necessarily different. I think it's ironic that anyone can hope for equality among humans when there are still so many people who promote inequality. (Hint hint: Some people are confused about what love is ...) So as there is descrimination against blacks, gays, & yes, the disabled, there is unfortunately descrimination against women. In a lesser degree, of course, if she's white, straight, married, not disabled, & at middle to upper class.
These questions are somewhat dull ... but I'll play. :P
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
Yes, insecure people tend to make their insecurity everybody elses fault.

In a lesser degree, of course, if she's white, straight, married, not disabled, & at middle to upper class.
Sorry I posted that twice, I got impatient :P
Now ... I have several comments. While this survey was somewhat dull, it did give me pause when I read some of the original poster's answers. The concept of living with values from the 40s & 50s seems slightly ... I don't know, strange. We're not in the 40s or 50s anymore for a reason. We've come a long way. I found it ironic that in the last question, there's this "Absolutely never going to be no descrimination between sexes" thing, but yet you are so unwilling to stop descriminating yourself. You even seem to think that it was ok, & even better, that the man should have total power or "rule" whle a woman holds her rights. Yes, indeed that sounds like the 40s & 50s. But if we are going to eliminate descrimination against women, we must lose opinions like that.
& now I'll get to the issue that is most near & dear to my heart ... homosexuality. I was kind of surprised when you said that you could not tolerate having a homosexual sibling. Why? Do you care who they sleep with? Would you prefer that person to be you, by chance? If not (hopefully that's your answer,) then why is this issue so important that you would "not tolerate it" in your own flesh & blood? My second point is that it's not yours or any other right-wing straight person's right to tell anyone who they can love. If anyone could tell me that someone can not love someone else, then I can pop up at any time & tell you that there's no way you could love some guy you're dating & it would be totally valid. Love is love, & it's beautiful whether you personally understand it or not. Shit, I don't understand how a woman could love a man! Does that mean I doubt any woman's love for her BF/husband? Never. Because I'm in no position to tell her how she feels or should feel about anyone or any group of people.
Also, if your idea of love is based on whether or not you can reproduce together, then I feel terrible for you. No, I will never be able to naturally conceive a child with whoever I end up with. My being a lesbian, I have made that decision because I know that I will only ever love a woman. So now my love is invalid, or not really love, because my partner can not lay me down & insert a sperm into my body to form a baby. The idea is so insane that I laugh everytime it crosses my mind. I don't think genatalia or reproductive abilities with someone should determine the validity of the love between those two people. Even if I were straight, I wouldn't be marrying a man for his ability to knock me up.
But it's all your opinion, freedom of speech applies to you as well as I. So I'm just straightening out some things that simply don't make sense, although you are free to believe as you wish.
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
Um, this is kind of a silly question, since we're human beings, and no human being is perfect, which means we're all selfish to some degree.
Q.2 Who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother,sister/sister,brother/brother?
Depends on the family/individuals; I cannot say since I'm not close with any of mine.
Q.3 Why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
Don't know; I've read the series and thought it was ok, but I've also read much better material.
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
Politeness. I personally don't think it's necessary to be outright rude and disrespectful to someone for no reason. Now, if someone is harassing you or starts being disrespectful to you first, then that's a different story. I also believe strength is an important quality to have in many situations as well.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
Yes of course, in extreme circumstances.
Q.6 Would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. People have a right to love who they want to love.
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
Not at all. I never got to know my father, and my mother... let's just say that that individual had no business ever having or raising children.
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
Well, I know I should be doing school work, but I need a break, and it's a holiday so...
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
Agree; even though it's not right, people are often judged according to how they look. I wear whatever I want at home, but when I go out, my hair and teeth are brushed, my clothes are clean, and my make up is just right. Well, at least I hope it's just right lol.
Q.10 Is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
It certainly isn't as bad as it once was, (women can vote, own property, go to school, etc.) but I'm sure it probably still exists in some cases. However if a woman or any individual for that matter works hard enough, I believe it is possible for them to achieve just about anything they wish.
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
I believe we all are selfish in some way. I do not necessarily think that insecurity automatically means a person is going to be selfish. I think that the level of selfishness a person has depends on many factors. Everything from the environment a person had growing up, to how much they just naturally think about others, rather than themselves. However I believe a person can choose to change their level of selfishness by choosing to work on themselves.
Q.2 who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother, sister/sister, brother/brother? In my opinion, it all depends on the specific individuals. I’m not personally all that close with my brother anymore, though I used to be. I know people who are brothers and are very close. I know people who are sisters and are very close. I know people who are brother and sister and are very close.
Q.3 why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
I was roped into seeing one of the Twilight movies, New moon, I think, in the theater with my best friend. If I didn’t love her to pieces, I wouldn’t have gone. My most recent ex was listening to the Twilight series when we were still together. I had to listen to it blasting out of the bedroom, so couldn’t help overhearing a good portion of it. I thought it was stupid. I didn’t see the attraction then and I certainly don’t see it now. I have since watched two other Twilight movies with my best friend. I still maintain my opinion that it’s stupid. However, I don’t like most things that are popular, as a general rule and people have a right to watch whatever they choose to watch. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
I think both can be equally important, but I’d have to say in most situations, I think strength will get you further.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
Yes. I was chronically suicidal for half my life at one point in time. I won’t go into the reasons why here, but all I wanted was to die. I no longer feel that way due to getting lots of mental health help and such, but I know what it’s like to live constantly wanting to die. It’s horrible and I attempted to take my life once. It had been something I’d been wanting for years by that point and I just couldn’t handle things anymore. I had been planning it for years and had a list of how I wanted to do it. Circumstances happening in my life at the time pushed me from desperately wanting to kill myself, to actually trying to kill myself. I felt good about it as I did it and still, to this day, had I succeeded, I know I would have been happy because I had wanted it for so long at that point. I believe it’s my body and what I choose to do with it is my business. I wanted out of the constant torment I was in and had found no other solution, despite trying very hard to work on myself mentally for years. Had I succeeded, it would have been what I wanted and not because I was intentionally trying to hurt anyone.
Q.6 would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
Wouldn’t bother me one bit. I’d still except and love them for who they were.
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
No. I do look up to my best friends’ family and my grandparents though.
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
For fun. Do you have a problem with that? Lol.
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
I agree that looks shouldn’t matter much, but they do to society, unfortunately. However, when I go out, I still dress how I like, even though the world may not like how I look. I’m not out to impress anyone. If I were going to a job/school/a wedding or something, that’s a different story to me and I’ll dress accordingly. Otherwise, I don’t bother to change my clothes if I’m going to the store or the mall or something. I want to be comfortable and that’s all that matters to me. I could care less about matching and all that. I’ll wash my hair and brush my teeth, but as for my clothes, I could honestly care less.
Q.10 is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
There still is.
Q.1 Do you think insecure people are selfish and why? (Answer Yes/No then give your reason.)
Insecurity doesn't make you inherently selfish. Some people do take their insecurity out on others to try and make themselves look better, but an equal number of people hide their insecurity and just try to please others, staying in the background as much as possible, stuffing their feelings down in hopes that no one will find out what they really think. Their insecurity, in effect, paralyzes them and hinders anything from decision-making to socialization.
Q.2 Who has a stronger relationship-sister/brother,sister/sister,brother/brother?
That really depends on the family dynamics and the personalities of the individuals involved. There's really no straight answer for that question.
Q.3 Why do people who haven't even read/seen Twilight hate it already?
I haven't read it, nor do I want to. I've heard how stupid it is. Of course, that's my opinion, and there's no reason why I should read something I probably won't like. But everyone else can do as they choose, it's just a book after all, and a fad at that. It's probably going to fade into obscurity eventually when some new series comes along that trumps its popularity.
Q.4 What's more appropriate in most situations -Politeness or Strength?
It depends. Politeness will usually get you farther when you want to make friends. Brute force is certainly not going to do you any favors if you're trying to establish communication. However, strength, or more accurately composure, which can be borne of strength, is essential for being professional. You can't carry your personal problems with you to work if you want to be taken seriously.
Q.5 Do you think the act of suicide can be justified?
Yes. We as a society would go a long way if we would remove the terrible stigma associated with mental illness and especially suicide. If a person wants to die, that's their business, particularly if there's a long-standing or chronic mental or physical illness that's unlikely to get better. Even so, each person knows what they can and cannot tolerate. Who are we to judge when we haven't lived their lives, lived in their souls, felt their blood in our veins? It's not right to say that one person's suffering is worse than another's; it's all so subjective, not to mention insulting for the person who's constantly being told their life is so wonderful and they should just hang in there, whether that's for a religious reason or not. I speak from experience on that. Being told you and your feelings don't matter is about the worst thing you can hear when you're about to fall over the edge.
Q.6 Would you like if your sibling was a Gay/lesbian?
Again, it's not my business. While that lifestyle certainly doesn't appeal to me, and I feel personally uneasy about it having been raised a Christian, I also know that as a Christian the best thing I can do is not judge someone. Gays are exactly like everyone else, and no matter what the Bible says, I don't think God would set someone up for a lifetime of heartache and failure, nor would he deliberately create people he's only going to destroy by sending to hell. That doesn't make sense to me. So, if I know someone who's gay, as long as they're not trying to make a move on me, I'm cool with it. I actually did have a friend in high school who, well, forced herself on me, and that's I guess why I'm a little weary about it today, but I also know not all gays are like that.
Q.7 Do you idolise your parents?
No, I don't. They've given me so many conflicting messages when I was growing up that I don't even know how to feel about them today.
Q.8 Why are you playing this survey right now?
I saw it, and decided I haven't done one of these things in awhile, so I figured what the hell, I'll go for it. Lol
Q.9 Looks do not matter much but they do give an impression. Agreed/disagreed and why?
Looks definitely are a person's first impression. It's human nature, because the eyes take in more information than any of the other senses, and so that's why sighted people are so obsessed with how they look, how models in magazines look, watching people on the street and making fun of the fat people and whatever other traits they find undesirable, etc.
Q.10 Is there really no discrimination between sexes now?
There is, although it's not as prevalent as it was years ago. But discrimination will always exist in one form or another, so trying to eliminate it completely would be pointless.
