So true. There are so many scammers on the internet. If one would be so naive, he can be the next victim.
-
People, esp. in America, can easily be tracked. One can find out so much if they use their names.

With all the cyber crimes being done nowadays, one should really be discerning when on social media. It is just so easy for another person to open an account using a fictitious name or a true name that belongs to a person and whose picture is that person’s.
That’s why for my protection, I chose to be one a private setting in social media. I only accept friends who are relatives, family and acquiantances that I like.
That way, no one can cyber bully me.
-
When that first person came on, spewing information, it was done as a ‘hook’ to get others to fall for it. That’s why you have to be so careful

I don’t understand, but was he released already or was still in jail? If he was a heinous criminal then why did they release him again.
Now, he is on the loose and has made that bombing again.
Imagine he is now 67 and has been jailed for quite sometime, yet he still hasn’t changed. He is still a terrorist.
I wonder if he is really a human being.
-
He is in jail; this ‘new’ charge has come up. And they want to charge him again. But he is in jail.

To besafe, do not give so much information about yourself on strangers on the net. As I mentioned in my post, scammers can easily hide behind their keyboards. The unsuspecting victim might be easily be fooled if he would not investigate first before agreeing with a stranger on the net.

yes, keeping yourself safe is important.. and very possible

That’s so funny. It’s been happening to me ever since I started receiving mail. I’ve been getting mail delivered to me addressed “Mr.” for as long as I can remember. Getting on the Internet didn’t change anything. What’s odd is that even with my picture online, I still get called “sir” or “mister”. 🙂

Are you getting messages from Russian hotties?
-
I can’t remember if they were Russian. But when I get them it makes me laugh! I have in my memory a cartoon I once saw where two animals were sitting in front of a computer and one is telling the other: “Don’t worry. On the Internet they don’t know you’re a dog!” 🙂

This is a very interesting piece of writing. No going around the bushes in manner of speaking but very straight forward or direct to the point. Yes, the message really hit the mark.
I found the title “The Basics of Being Ugly” a bit amusing and at the same time quite absorbing. Who wants to be ugly in the first place? Everyone wants to be beautiful am I right?
The title reminds me of our college class back in the old days in the Art Appreciation/Humanities especially in Aesthetics. I vividly recall that our professor once told us that in Aesthetics “there is no such thing as ugly, only less beautiful”.
As I understand the writings the word ugly covers both the “physical ugliness” and the “ugliness of character”.
Whether or not there is such a thing as “Martha’s House” or it is a mere fictionalized representation, it is quite intriguing that a group of girls with physical and character ugliness are tied together in one place.
I believed that the development of any person character is always dependent upon the “nature-nurture” thing (genetics and environmental factors).
If and when I’m going to meet those girls in the near future (who knows?) I’m going to be just my old self: just be myself and to carry myself as gentleman.
-
It is a real place, and these are real people; warts and all. Their ugliness is not just physical, it is everything about them. Their behaviour has virtually chased the more normal people out, and they don’t seem to appreciate reality.

Okay first and foremost let me just correct you a bit. No one is stupid it’s just that we are all different and we all act in different ways. There are people who are quick to solving issues, and there those that take time to digest and think of ways to solve the issue. We were all made differently. Maybe the way I do things is not the same way you will do yours, the way I will react to issues is not the same way you will react, there are some things that may be a priority to you that are not to me so with all this examples we cannot conclude that someone is stupid because they were not able to behave or react in a certain manner. I remember i us3d to have a girl who used to help me around the house, she used to be so slow. When you told her to do something she would repeat after you whatever you said and that used to make me so mad, but i would still listen to her and give her instructions slowly by slowly one after another. You could not tell her to do like three things at a go because she could not multitask. Sometimes I used to feek feel like I would tell her to just leave whatever she’s doing get out and not come back. But obviously I couldn’t that would be too inhuman. But you the irony is that even with that slowness she had two kids that she took care of and I didn’t have any at time. So if she had the ability to take care 9f two kids would we still call her stupid? Mmmmmhh that’s something to think about right? Check this out we have two categories of people those who are
1 Learned and
2 Educated. The difference between the two is that learned people are those who can be given a situation to solve and they will think with their minds, think outside the box and come up with a solution. And the educated are those who have to use some sort of manual or books for that matter to get a solution to a problem. You see the difference. -
Let me indicate this; there is such a thing as stupidity. As Einstein said, it is infinte. To be so politically correct to pretend it doesn’t exist is rather like calling a person starving to death a ‘dieter’.
The ability to prioritise has always been a hallmark of intelligence. There are things every one of us has on the ‘to do’ list.
If there is a fire in the kitchen, for example, sorting the clothing to be washed should be stopped and the fire put out.
The fact that the helper is not intelligent is evident in all aspects. I only focus on this one because it is so obvious that a normal intellect would hear a mutual friend was in the hospital and react, not wash the dishes.
The difference is not ‘learned’ and ‘educated’ the difference is between intelligent and stupid.
Whether you have a Ph.D or have never been to school is not the measure. Intelligence is the measure.

I agree, one has to be cautious in posting personal matters, photos,etc. because there are so many scammers, thieves, waiting for a clue. It is better to spend time on writing/blog sites like Literacybase.com where your effort and time are compensated.

It is so logical one can’t imagine how anyone could miss the chance of writing here, getting comments, and earning… but some people are born stupid.

Had he tried , he would love it here because a long post about a minimum of 500 words can earn him .22 while a shorterone , minimum of 300 words, can earn him $.15 . If he is industrious and have lots of time on the net, he can hit more than the minimum amount for the monthly payout.
Anyway, some people really would snob a writing site at once, because they don’t know yet that writing can give you fulfillment and friends here at LB. Fulfillment, because you got paid and you earn a lot of friends.
Maybe you should show him your proof of payment. 🙂
-
I will try again… but I’m not hopeful
-
-
Same thing I did. I sent Kris two messages about this site… and he ‘doesn’t have time’ When something bad happens to him on Facebook, he’ll learn

Mostly of those that I have heard of about men marrying very much younger than them has the same story.
The young woman would shop no end at the expense of the old man. The old man cannot refuse the wife because he knows it’s all that can make the woman happy.
Sad that men would be in such a situation.
Oftentimes when they die the wife will again remarry, this time a man of her age.
That’s the sad reality of older but rich men, they are just wanted for their wealth. And oftentimes, not only will he provide for the wife but for the whole family of the woman.
-
Some have their lovers on the side all through the marriage.

I’ve know older men who see younger women. They think it makes them look Cool and they in there silly heads feel younger at heart. So silly that younger woman is only using you for ur wallet. So u spend spend to keep her chasing after u but trust once ur money is gone she will be off to her next idiot. Tried to explain this to a couple men and of course they find listen.
-
They don’t listen. They aren’t thinking with their heads
-
-
It is a common scenario, and one would think if the young woman was deeply in love with the oldie, but maybe in his deep pocket only!
-
It is very hard. Firstly, the person is the age of your father. Unless you have ‘daddy complex’ it feels wierd. Second, what do you talk about? Take a man of fifty… he can sit and discuss incidents that happened forty years ago which impacted his life. She wasn’t alive, she doesn’t know… So talk about what?

I think insurance companies have a ceiling as to how much should be paid to a bank in case it is robbed. Usually, they make the ceiling of how they can pay only according to the amount that was agreed in the policy according to how much premium also they have paid for it.
That kind of robbery also happened here in our city. I was also an employee in a bank then. One of the banks were robbed before lunch time. All the employees were all made to drop on the floor. . All the customers were made to lie on the floor, head down. When a pregnant woman can’t lay head facing down well , she was kicked in the butt
The manager, cashier and the employees were all locked inside the vault.
When the robbers were gone, they shouted at that small hole in the vault where it is really made for that.
Officers from the other bank were made to open the vault by telling them the combinations. They changed the combinations after that.
In this case, the manager had been embezzeling money from the bank. This is why the numbers didn’t match.
