My mother didn't teach me much about life, nor my Dad. So, after socially getting the equivalent of brick marks on my forehead from banging against the brick wall of ignorance, I eventually watched how people I admired conducted themselves around others. I observed this: DON'T talk in public or try to get others to see your way about: 1/ Religion 2/ How children should be raised and how many to have. 3/ Money and how it supposed to be used 4/ Politics 5/ Gender Definitions, what **I** or **YOU** think a man should be or woman should be 6/ Sex, how, what when where, with who, how often, what accessories to use, and in reference to my part as defined in (5) above. NOT good dinner conversation at: A/ The In-laws B/ Your boss's New Year's eve party. AT YOUR JOB Most likely to get you labeled a 'weirdo' and have rumors spread by the women that you might be dangerous, i.e. do the prep work to get you accused of sexual harassment. ON LIST SERVES Almost always off topic and a waste of bandwidth and possibly a selfish abuse of a slightly captive audience, (i.e. we ARE reading this to find other necessary information) ***************************** In MARRIAGE ***************************** Topics You BETTER DAMN WELL TALK ABOUT before ##GETTING## married. Just imagine permanently disagreeing completely with your partner about any of those six, or having your partner always trying to change you on any of them. -- ________________________________________________________________ Sites by friends of mine: http://www.myhiddentreasures.com/ ________________________________________________________________ WARNING personal propaganda signature TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE AND LEAVE THE REST SINCE OUR GOVERNMENT WON'T PRESERVE OUR CLIMATE, IT'S UP TO US!
