My Cousin said (of course online), Gawd! I HATE The Beatles!" I rarely gasp. I GASPED! My blood boiled with possible reactions. I love my family, so I chilled and took a breath. Personal story, her prerogative, and who cares! The question is "How do you react when something goes completely against your own sensibilities? BTW.... Puppies Suck Sunsets are overrated True Love doesn't exist The Ocean is not that beautiful Poetry is boring I hate travel React with something different than "You are daft/stupid."

I don't have any sensibilities. But I do have taste. And when somebody says something tasteless, I usually ignore them, and hope they enjoy their tasteless life.

I think you know I can be fiery Beach .. but I like to think I react most In advocating for others.. especially where there is judgement about gender or sexuality . As far as anything I consider insignificant I can be silent when necessary lol . The online world is interesting . I try not to buy into all the aggression and nastiness that can be prolific . That is one of the reasons I have never been a fan of Facebook … too many keyboard warriors and warped egos .

How do you react when something goes completely against your own sensibilities? I gotta go with sir Paul's take on this one, Beach... "Live and let die.". Poetry is boring In retrospect, your comments on my poems did seem a tad patronizing.

Mowtown - Some of your taste is stellar. Some of the rest is questionable. Glad to share those qualities with you!...and probably the best course of action Jaan- I agree with point 1 & 2 fervently! Not sure I understand point 3. Disagree with 4. Look at yours and Mowtown's Post (to Tech's Post) Tech- ^^^ Maybe a bit patronizing but I "really" like to call out folks that make me snicker to belly laugh. I am so sorry!!.. if I come across that way!!! I am someone who enjoys everything from the most sophomoric and dirty of Limericks to the brilliance of Rumi, and Shakespeare Sonnets. I look for the positive and am NO ONE to judge where ANYONE fits in that spectrum. Not remembering any specifics but a general feeling of "that was pretty cool" Blondey- Whoa, the little Stepford Wife type speaks up? I know when/if anyone was cruel to animals, trying to kill love/the sun, or pollute the ocean; you'll be there (with a machete). However, Surfers are stupid like that.----Just let that last statement go Man EDIT: What Matters? I think animals, sunsets, poetry (The Arts in general), cake, travel, etc. do....but does my opinion on any of it?

I don't get it, how does one farm the beach? Collect washed up seaweed?

plants can be grown anywhere there is dirt, rocks or sand.

My home is a Beatles free zone. I see no problem with your cousin's comment.

I really dislike schedules - Adulting, Oh Well. I am mixed on signs. Instinctive to instinct and a "few" of the hippy dippy ones The tangible ones sometimes I read the wrong way. SO glad in Europe I took public transportation or had a ride. ...and have not even been to where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road. Differences? Opinions? Reactions?

I don't like schedules too... I think in all my life I've been to one date and one interview on time... All others I'm late On the other points, it's too early for serious thoughts

I don’t think I’ve ever gasped in my life! But! I don’t have a poker face, can’t hide a thing, would probably just stare at the person with eyes wide open trying to understand what I’ve just heard and how that’s even possible. Depending on the person, my next step would probably be to try and convince them that what they’re saying is oh so very wrong
