That isn't what I am saying and you know it.

Just when was it that we totally stop taking responsiblity for how our actions contribute to what happens to us?

Not at all. I am a proponent of "The Golden Rule". Anyone who has read my posts for any length of time knows that. I have said, and precisely in these words, that somone donning a 'kick me' sign does not give anyone the right to start kicking.

That doesn't mean that it gives folks to start donning kick me signs willy nilly either. It would be great if people could walk around in a fog and others wouldn't take advantage, but this is the real world we live in. People of common sense acknowledge this and act accordingly.

clarification

thorn,

i am sorry if i wasn't clear ~ i KNOW you are not of the opinion that "CL girls are are dumb bitches and deserve what they get". i was addressing persons who DO have that outlook (and the question you quoted was facetious!)

i like your golden rule almost as much as i like golden showers... and fools gold ;-)

xoxo

In real life it works out that way more.

Realists have to acknowledge, and make provisions for, the differences between what we'd like the world to be and the way it actually is.

Sorry.

You are dealing in a two dimensional medium. It is sometimes hard to pick off when people are being serious vs. jocular.

With my peculiar, dry, style I have been victim of that myself more then once.

BMM, give us an example of how you worded your ad and in which section of CL did you post it?

 

[BigMadM]

well, Im not going to make a mistake here, but I will give a general idea.
Married man willing to help out college student(female) with expenses.

Thats close enough, and basic and simple.
