  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

"she did not pick me,who treated her well,BUT,she picked this jerk!"

She said she wasn't ready when you were...and she was honest...there was enough time for you to pick your ex and marry her in that time frame before she was ready to consider marriage again. We don't know if she would or wouldn't have picked you at this later date because you were no longer a possibility.

It is a waste of time to try to figure out why someone didn't choose you ... it usually gets down to a simple totally unexplainable gut feeling.

Go for the Aussie's then ;). Seriously though I think you have to get rid of that chip on your shoulder before moving forward in any relationship. I don't say that to be mean, but you are always saying how black women hurt you so deeply. I know they did, I get that, but, and this is just a friendly suggestion, maybe that is holding you back from some white women as well? I mean it really doesn't matter about skin color when we are talking about baggage. By that I mean that you need to be able to let go of the past in order to move forward (easier said than done, I know). I'm just sayin that you might inadvertantly be giving off some "vibe" about being hurt in the past that makes any woman want you and maybe you aren't even aware you're doing it.
Personally I think you might just be trying too hard in some respects and not too hard in other respects (like waiting to call) and that is JMO so please take it with a grain of salt and don't be mad at me. I think you probably are a great guy and I only said probably, cuz I have never met you in person. :wave:
I do not think that I am haunted by my past. I have forgiven those girls and women a long time ago. My memory is so keen.That is why I can share my past.
When I did Dr. Jekyl and Mr.Hyde,I played Dr. Jekyl's attorney. I memorized 2,000 words,word for word in only 6 weeks! I am blessed with a good memory. The flip side is that I can remember the bad stuff,also.

Now,I heard the "Hawkeye" character on M*A*S*H, and people in real life tell me that they drink to
forget. I have NEVER taken a drink of alcohol. My brain cells have not been destroyed by ETOH (grain alcohol.)
This reminds me of a song. I think it was a Country-Western song.It was about a man,who drinks,who had a friend,that never drinks,but went crazy because of his problems. The man who drinks,in order to forget his problems, sings:
" I rather have a BOTTLE in FRONT of me,that rather have to have a FRONTAL LOBOTOMY!" :p

Maybe you are right. As a child, I was very curious. I guess curiosity is in my DNA. That is ONE reason why I became a scientist. As I child,I always wondered why the sky is blue.I learned that the sky is blue because of the oxygen content in our atmosphere. I wondered why grass is green and why our blood is red. I learned that grass is green because of chlorophyll.Blood is red, because of hemoglobin,a mixture of protein and iron.When iron is exposed to oxygen,rust forms,giving off a red color.
So you see,there ARE reasons why things in our world are they way they are.

However,when it comes to human beings,I realized that not ALL things have an explanation.

SOMETIMES, I think or feel,that after sin entered the world,these differences that GOD put into men and women were meant for us to emotionally torment each other here on earth,as a punishment. Do you agree?

BBM What? You mean you don't have blue blood? ;)

As to your second question, it was God that confused the languages etc in the beginning. I do not believe it was for us to torment each other, I believe it was done so that we would have to put effort into understanding something other than ourselves.

I read a quote this morning. Got your grain of salt ready exit?

"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges"

No, I believe the differences were part of our original design and they were put there to complete us. You long to find another because you don't feel complete being alone.

I think that sin is why we have such a hard time. As a whole, we are selfish by nature. We tend to focus on what someone else has or will offer US instead of what we can offer them. This is just human nature. And before you argue, the minute you start to discuss whether or not you are "attracted to someone", you have done just what I said. Marriages tend to be longer lasting and more solid in societies that practice arranged marriages where falling in love is what happened AFTER you were married and was not as important as learning to work as a team.

Thanks,I have heard of that quote. I have one too. It is an old African proverb.
"The wound of a knife will someday heal,but the CUT of a WORD will last forever."

I AGREE with what you said about arranged marriages. I had a co-worker,from Pakistan,who said the same thing,that the love comes AFTER the marriage. I am curious. Why did you jump to the conclusion that I was going to argue with you? You did not give me the benefit of the doubt. Maybe this is what I mean when I tell people that SOME women just seem to see the worst in me,without giving me a chance. Did you not think that it MAY be a possibility ( a 50-50 chance)that I MIGHT agree with you?:confused:
My,My. There ARE some women(I am NOT saying that you are this kind of a woman).SOME women MUST have this formula in their heads.
This formula is: A human being + a penis= A JERK

Sorry...that is just how I talk to my teenagers and their friends...it is meant to be funny (it works in person) not to be disrespectful...(the friends don't know if I'm a little bit crazy or a little bit funny...) Something is always lost in the translation from verbal to written.

Personally, I kind am fond of the human beings that come with penises...I married one and gave birth to another...volunteer some of my time to be with a bunch of young ones (Cub Scouts). And if the right one ever wanders into my life, I might be willing to marry another one.
