To the friend thing, some times they start out to be just friends because when you meet them they might be with someone else at the time. Then you can learn more about them and either like them more or find out the bad stuff that might be a deal breaker for a relationship but not be for friendship.

But as far as someone that you work with, that is something I would not do. You have to see them everyday which might be good at first but as time goes on if there is any doubts then watching your partner at work and maybe "flirting" (you might see flirting but no one else does) with other co-workers would put a wedge between you two.
Or if the relationship does go bad then you would have to see them everyday whether you want to or not...lol.

Although there is the possibility that you two date and realize that nothing will happen so you just stay friends. That way you will not wonder about the road not taken. But does your company have a workplace dating policy? Most places do...

I was not being poetic, just trying to fix your statement. Plus I am not sure if you can count your imagination within reach or not, I mean it is in your head but you can not actually touch it...

LOL...Two different views...
I can not see your view and you can not see mine...

So there is Real cool, then fictional cool, then imaginary cool, and below all that and a few other lower levels of cool you find Shiki Cool?...lol

That does not equal out there, the god or gods are suppose to be the larger than life idea, a forest is just a group of trees. You could relate it to "A person who declares there is no god is like a person in the tropics claims snow does not exist. Just because they have never seen it...lol Even that idea is still lacking but it is closer to the same idea...

LOL... When I was talking about the attractions of a mate I was thinking more like the guys who like a certain hair color or ethnic type over the others. No other reason like age or anything...lol

Yes those actors do play cool characters in the movies, they seem to never care about what others think... As for how they are in real life I would have no idea since I never met any of them...lol

The problem with "cool" is there is no one universal definition to satisfy everyone. It is like the qualities that attracts you to your mate, everyone is looking for something different.

There are some circles that you can buy into cool, but that is a temporary cool that is relaying on you spending money. But it is all a state of mind. Those who seem like they try too hard to please everyone will find it hard to be considered cool while those who seem to have life figured out (at least in their head) and do not worry about things are usually the cool people.

I think recognizing cool is subjective also, like age... I consider people older than me as old and younger than me is young. So those that act cooler than I do in a situation I would call cool while those who do not...well, they still have some work to do...lol

Look up the name "Westley Allan Dodd", that is a name of someone who wanted to be put to death because of what he did and it still took the system 3 years to finally execute him. I was in high school at the time there by the penitentiary he was in and I had family who worked there, from sun up to sun down there was picketers by the gates protesting for him to be set free! Some people have no sense...

You better add that she would need to be in a coma to put up with him, and even then he still has a chance of rejection...lol

The problem is there is too much red tape with the executions today, when you try and convict someone to put them to death it has been said it costs almost three times as much money as the same trial for just putting the person in jail for life. The lawyers have a higher cost for death penalty cases, plus there are extra laws and people appealing the cases and all. Back years ago the death penalty was a big deterrent but today the criminals know that with the right lawyers and the underpaid police force they have a better chance of getting away with the crimes.

In clear cut cases with DNA and everything then yes that person should be put to death. If the death penalty was there for confessions then there would be a lot less confessions I would bet, now it is used as a tool to get someone to confess and they will get the life in prison instead of the death penalty. If we had a better legal system then we would not need all these appeals and everything, but as Julius Caesar found out you can not trust anyone in the government...

I guess we have different ideas of "relationship", if it is just online then this is just the flirty stages and should have no effect on you seeing other people or having other online relationships. I thought that you were seeing the person as in physically there with them...

Relationship starts when you start waking up in the morning together...lol

I am for the death penalty, in fact I do not think it is used enough. There are so many people in prison for life without parole that is just taking up space. All they are doing is corrupting the other inmates who are just there for a few years. The prison systems worldwide are over populated because the punishments are not strict enough. Violent offenders who kill people, which heroin kills people and if they were smuggling it in, then it is like they were killing people and should be considered violent offenders and they do not belong in society.

Just imagine how much less of a drug problem there would be if the governments started executing those who were tried and found guilty! Yes it is sad that it was someone from your country, but they chose that life...

The churches around here are crazy, they are pulling in so much money they are just trying to find new ways to spend it seems like... We have churches that are right off the highway with billboard size LED screens to get their messages across to all who pass by.

There is a church here that when they built their church house the permit did not allow for the height of the steeple, so instead of just lowering the steeple they built an identical church right next to the original church and put the higher steeple on the new one with the proper permits...lol.

LOL...All I did was read the title "I want a man with" and the song was already in my head...lol

May not be able to prove a resurrection, but another idea is that the guy was not fully dead. With enough blood loss and maybe a heart defect when checked to see if he was still alive the flunky who did this made a mistake. Then the person they now call Jesus woke up a few days later.

Another idea is since he was suppose to have a following at the time then someone stole the body and put it somewhere else...

Naming a child a strange name like that just puts a strike against them when they grow up. They can accept the name and start acting as strange as it is or they can get an attitude (like Ja-a sounds like from your description)...

This is just for American scientists but it will give you an idea. There is also more studies (which I can not find right now, they were from when I took Psychology) of the drop in religious belief through the education levels. As I recall High School graduates had the highest religious beliefs percentage and the higher the degrees the less of the beliefs percentage. It also was low for the people who did not graduate High School. But to defend religion on these studies there are very few people who get educated past a Bachelors anyways, and the people who did not graduate high school probably do not believe in much of anything, not even themselves...

The marriage part could be fixed with a simple "Separated" which I think would covered married not living together.

The Children part though I had thought about it before but I figured I was just over analyzing things. I will have to clarify in the profile the "want kids" part as "want more kids not already born" maybe...lol.

Sex is not needed, but it is like a shortcut to get to happiness. That is provided you are doing it right, then your brain will give off the chemicals to make you happy... but then there are people who do not do it right and then they feel cheap and used, not happy at all.
