A comment is a comment. That’s true. And if you’re in a discussion community where you can earn from interaction, controversial remarks or disagreements are fine. They are even expected if it’s a touchy subject. But, other than the monetary aspects, I don’t see commenting online in a written form as being any different from talking with a person face-to-face. I’m not going to be rude and discourteous and abusive to you in person. So I’m not going to do it to you online either. I have no control what comes out of another person’s mouth, but I can control what I say and write. I can also control what I hear or read. You can spit out all the venom you want. No guarantee I’ll read it and/or read and respond. Hit me with your best shot! It could be your contrasting opinions and points of view may give me a great idea and/or help me to solve a difficult problem. It could be like a breakthrough. You never know! 🙂
-
That is precisely how I feel. A person has the freedom to write what s/he wants, I have the freedom to not read it. The contrast of opinions is what makes a site lively; not just the ‘I agree’.
-
-
There is just so much one can digest when it comes to comments that are rude. Just as there is freedom of speech so does one have the freedom to block that which is unpalatable.
-
When you are getting paid per comment, why cut your own pocket?

I was engaged in a certain group in facebook its a community of people about paranormal things, like legends, and true to life stories but i was always pissed off with them! Maybe because of their own ignorance that can’t even justify their own verdict with a particular subject and most of them are keep laughing behind your back when in fact they are definetly laughing at themselves for knowing anything but ignorance. So, i stop arguing and ignore them. Truly, as the saying goes you cannot win an argument with an ignorant.

In Jamaica we say; “When you argue with an idiot it is hard to remember who is the idiot.

If there is one thing that I have learned from writing sites? Save Your Work! 🙂
-
I tend to write my items on my computer first, do a spell check, then post. But the fact is, over time, new computers, etc. One can lose their work. And then…

I remember Sue Lyon as Lolita and that’s all I remember her for. As for Wayne Mauder? Uuuuhhh … who’s he?? (O.o)
-
Exactly. She was Lolita and that was that. Maunder… to consider 3 different chances… that is amazing.

Doctor Ben Casey versus Doctor Kildare? I only watched Ben Casey because it was on TV. By comparison, I looked forward to watching episodes of Doctor Kildare. Richard Chamberlain was a dreamboat! As for James Franciscus? I rather liked him but you’re right. His career didn’t really go anywhere.
-
I loved Dr. Kildare; Casey… nah. When you do research and learn how this Vince Edwards went after Chamberlain… crazy. Pure Crazy.
Mr. Novak was a show that Fransicus could have grown old with. He could have stayed in the role, and maybe did a touch of moonlighting in movies, but he sank himself.

having a real friend is the most beautiful thing in the world. sadly in my case I can say I was disappointed many times by people that I considered my friends
-
I usually have ‘two-tiers’ people who are my friends and those who are kind of environment. Environment always lets me down. Hypocrites, liars, actors… but real friends are priceless

Well, did he married for money not for love?
It is a good thing that you had understood him
Such a saad case
Sounds like a drama-
It is very sad. He married for money and didn’t bargain on the fact she works for an embassy so after marrying him dragged him way around to the other side of the world to stay home and look after the children.
The other day she brought him back on a visit and it was like he had a leash around his neck.
Another friend of ours was ‘not allowed’ to see him.
But I say nothing.

Friendship is most important thing in human life but we all must keep in mind that in choosing friends keep two things in min; either your friend must be beautiful or intelligent because your friends are your introduction in the society where someone lives. But I say
Make new friends but keep the old
These are silver those are goldWe make friends throughout life, in play school, school, college, office, just everywhere. As we grow through different phases in life, we meet new people and make new friends and do not necessarily give up on old friends. It all depends on how strong the bond of your friendship is. Friends are always there to guide and support you through the ups and downs of your life. They are the people who are always there to lend a helping hand to you.
These are most important friendship qualities as..
Sharing is caring
Trust and Loyalty
Personal Adviser
Listener
Selfless – Always ready to help
Cheers you up
Knows you inside out
Forgiving
Straightforward
Not Judgmental at all -
Friends are good and they can also be bad people it all depends on an individual choose your friends wisely , they are likely to hurt you at some point in your life. It’s not easy keeping friends for a long time. There ar3 those that will come into your life who will make things good and there ar3 those who will come into your life to ruin it for good. I have had friends who have come and gone in my life and sometimes I don’t regret them leaving. You usually come to realize later that they would have got you into trouble.
Your friend probably decided not to tell you about his wedding for reasons best to known to him. Men ar3 usually very jealous beings maybe he thought that if he tells you, you might tell him something that he may not be happy with. So the best thing was to keep silent and have the fun that he was hoping to get. People are very funny. If you have made a choice that’s your choice I will not try to make you change your mind, that is what you want and that’s what you will get. I feel it was wrong for your friend to have hidden the fact that he was getting married and still call you his friend. He probably felt embarassed to even mention it when you met, he will one day remember the friendship that you once shared.

Of course I’ve heard of these people. But then I’m probably older than most people here, lol. I love reading about celebrities from back then.

I vaguely think I saw re runs of 77 Sunset Strip and do recall seeing the name Lana Woods…
-
I remember both of them. But even though they didn’t make it really big, most folks from my generation still remember them. 77 Sunset Strip was real popular TV show and as you say everybody knew Lana because everybody knew Natalie. 🙂
-
You would think Natalie would have helped her sister a little more
-
In the entertainment business there’s only so much you can do for your siblings. Your siblings need to be able to shine on their own if they want to be a star. Fact is Natalie was much more talented than Lana. In the case of the Roberts kids it happened backwards. Eric Roberts was in the business first. He got his sister Julia Roberts into the film business and she has been way more successful than him! She was the star! No matter what she couldn’t share that brightness with him.
-
The nasty bio Lana did of Natalie sort of shows the bad feelings. I also think it has a lot to do with personality, how you act with others. With Edd, well, he made the mistake of signing the contract which put him in prison for a few dollars. Whether he was a nice man or not… but Lana prob wasn’t very nice.

Interesting trivia. I remember both because of the two movies you mentioned: “A Summer Place” and “Imitation of Life”. Troy Donahue was in both movies though his part was so small in “Imitation of Life” he could easily have been forgotten. You shared some interesting trivia. Didn’t know his real name was Merle Johnson or that he was “Godfather II”.

REm. when Michael Corleone’s sister was thinking of going off with her boyfriend…that was ‘Merle Johnson’.

It is great to get away from technology and really live. See and hear and think and feel.
You are actually representing most of us. I was a people’s person once upon a time – calling visiting, meeting and what have you. But today I prefer my mouse for company.
Me too… I had a big life… meetings all over, going all over, active… now it’s like I go out and feel I left my computer home alone. I don’t have a smart phone so all I can do is make calls and receive them… so at least if I’m out I am off line.
Its just a point of view, where you see it. If you think communication tech slaving us, that is your opinion. But other people might say these are just tools, things or machines to make people convenient and moving closer though the long distance communication.
I once was getting a lift… the driver got on the phone as the engine started and stayed there until I reached my destination and continued. I didn’t exist.
Trolls, who are nothing in real life become powerful beings on the Internet and can insult and threaten at will. In RL they don’t have the courage to tell their neighbour to turn down the radio.
The disconnect becomes more obvious and will be more obvious as time goes on.
Why do people keep saying the Internet is replacing human interaction? The Internet IS human interaction. Except for those folks who try to fool with that artificial intelligence / fake conversation crap. 🙂
You may be the same person here that you would be if we were having coffee at that nice place down the road. But others are not. I can think of particular scammers whose online person is not who they are.
I think those of us who spend time interacting with the public pretty much have the same ‘narrative’ online as off, but there are others who do not.
