angelicEmu Hi Yanstill, Well, salt does have special symbolism in England - salt used to be a rare and precious commodity, not only for seasoning, but because it's essential for life, and used to be rationed out to soldiers as part of their pay (if my memory isn't...

angelicEmu Congratulations to you Yanstill! I'm very happy for you, and I know you'll have great success in your new job! Working does take up more time than you expect when you're a student - often travelling to work takes quite a while - but it makes you appreciate the...

Well, it's definitely not one of my beliefs, since I can't stop talking about the good things that happen to me, more so than the bad things. But I've known quite a lot of people who like to hide their fortunes or good things...

I've seen several people on mylot use the term "anti-Christ" to describe anyone who isn't Christian recently. Now, before anyone feels picked on, I'm not complaining about anyone one of the people who used the term, but wondering...

angelicEmu Thanks lecanis. Sometimes, on forums like this, it's good to be the dissenting voice when there's a concensus of ignorance, and the easily-swayed might just accept the ignorant points themselves. At least if you refute the non-points made by people whom you...

angelicEmu I'm afraid this is yet another symptom of one of the uglier sides of human nature being used by religious organisations who don't wield as much power within the richer countries as they used to. Intolerance, feeling threatened by anything different (as though...

We all have at least one film we've watched over and over during our lives. You know the one - you never get tired of watching it, you know the script from start to finish, and you could recite it in your sleep, but it never gets...

angelicEmu Thanks for the offer lols - but as my computer screen is a tad small to really appreciate a film from (not to mention the speakers being somewhat less than surround-sound), I think I shall wait for it to be shown on TV, or borrow the DVD from a friend who's an...

How many of you lovely people have ever encountered a zombie? No I don't just mean the movie-style stereotypical type who wander aimlessly about, gazing vacantly and lurching towards their next victim. Although if you have met...

I'm usually not that active in the anime topics here at mylot, but I'm just in an anime mood today. It's funny because sometimes I'll go weeks without really watching much anime or thinking about it, and then suddenly I'll watch...

angelicEmu You're not a nerd at all - the idea of a nerd is purely an American-invented form of inverted snobbery, perpetuated by vacuous people to make them feel culturally superior for their personality and intellectual deficiencies. So first off, I don't accept the...

angelicEmu I see what you mean lecanis - you feel safer in your online friendships, because there's that barrier of no physical contact which keeps you safe. It's great that you've made some good friends by your online contact with people, and there are some lovely and...

angelicEmu Thanks both of you for your contributions to this thread! I work with one of those mean-spirited jealous people, and I too have to watch what I say in front of her. People like that are very unhappy and negative, and in my view they waste their lives and try...

angelicEmu No, I don't tend to be superstitious. However, sometimes the idea behind a superstition comes from a logical standpoint. Talking a lot about something you have, or are going to have, could lead someone to be jealous, and either try to take it away from you, or...

angelicEmu I must say that I take a somewhat different approach to yours when it comes to the internet, lecanis. The fact is that I don't tend to invest much personally in the contact I have with people via myLot. That's not to say that I don't enjoy responding to...
