curtangel I remember hearing even when I was a teen about it happening between peers - there's a fine line between flirting and inappropriate touching at that age. If a boy is grabbing onto a girl and she's laughing and saying no, should a teacher interfere or not?...

I was watching an old episode of the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" tv show that involved the family getting miniaturized and lost inside of their grandfather - and I found myself wondering why one of them didn't try a cell phone. My...

curtangel Some shows I associate with the time strongly enough that it doesn't bother me, but some shows I'll suddenly go "Oh right... no cell phones." They were too expensive and you had to watch your minutes or risk a huge bill.

curtangel Most of the time I don't think about it - but keep in mind this is a show about shrinking people and fantastic inventions. Cell phones existed at the time of this show, but they were still using pay phones. It just amused me.

I just came across this - http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/12/03/dr-seuss-star-wars I think its hilarious and a great interpretation of Dr. Seuss style drawings and rhymes while still being... Star Wars. I started to think -...

The people I spend the most time with tend to be a bit suspicious of others. My mother in particular asks all the time "What do you mean by that?" - when I was younger I just answered her. But as time went on I realized that this...

curtangel I've had the misfortune of knowing people that hide what they are saying in snide statements, but I wish people that know me would give me the benefit of the doubt. You're right though, it is a habit of mind to constantly look for other meanings to what...

curtangel I agree - there are people that hide their opinions in sideways comments, but its not most people. If they know me well they should understand that.

curtangel I think also, it makes it easier to keep up with people. I'm not the kind of person who can keep up with phone numbers and such and I don't always see the people I'd like to stay in touch with.

curtangel Its terrible when justice doesn't allow for mercy. I've heard of cases where people swear up and down they had no idea, people with no criminal history but there are mininum sentences and they have to get at least (so many) years, but I had no idea there were...

curtangel I found a ROM of it on some website and I got so excited! I beat it once but I used weird bugs to manipulate it so I don't know if I really beat it. Oh and River City Ransom - how could I have forgotten that?

curtangel Yes, I was aware that Mylot allows you to disagree - I just noticed that discussions tended to have a lot of agreement. I thought perhaps I was being rude disagreeing - I was just checking what the community thought.

curtangel Sometimes people agree out of courtesy (particularly in public situations) - I thought perhaps thats what people tended to do here. I haven't see any real fusses or arguments (I'm still new) so I thought perhaps there was an unwritten rule of agreement.

curtangel No one mocked my opinon, I had just noticed a tendency for commenters to agree and I wondered about it. But I will keep what you said in mind.

curtangel Yes, definitely. If I agree with the person I don't have much to add, but if I have a different perspective then I have a lot more to say.

curtangel I think so, too - as long as everyone is respectful. I try to be and I haven't seen the dark side of mylot yet. Sometimes communities have unwritten rules and I wanted to make sure I was all right.

curtangel The fact that I didn't see it often (or even at all) was what made me wonder. Perhaps I'm just looking at the wrong posts. : )

curtangel That's what I thought - different communities have different standards and I'm still new. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stirring up trouble for myself.

curtangel That's true, I'm still learning to "distinguish" people here. It takes a while when you're new to a forum to figure out who is who and such.
