crazyday

hold up you messed up youe car through a crash that was completely your own fault so you have an ingenious idea why not get an even more powerfull car oh yer dude that is a great idea right there

i mean honestly i wouldnt even let you buy a car again you could have quite easilly hurt someone else a lot taking your eyes off the road whilst driving but in particular at 75 wow just stupid completely should have your license taken off you

and what difference does it make that you have a 60" tv , all we are talking about here is your innability to be able to drive a car
because they use a different version of the english language :rolleyes:

sekol is from the states, otherwise i doubt he would have stated his speed in MPH, no where else on earth uses MPH, cause the US is BA.

We do use MPH over here in car speedo's how can you even say we dont if you havent every been over here
and thats the kinda attitude i hat thinking your country is the best in the world
and in fact english actually comes from yer you guessed it england so you actually use a different version of our language
just because we have different opnions doesnt mean one is wrong and one is wrong. it just means i would do things differently than you. i think you should never have a kid before your married, because what if you break up?

My parents arent married and have been together 18 nearly 19 years now i actually think getting married is a stupid idea cos how can signing a piece of paper make you love someone more ?
and that piece of paper dosent suddenly make it impossible to break up i have a few friends whose parents have broke up so marriage dosent make any difference

One big thing is for financial reasons, being married saves you alot on taxes, as well as work benefits, health insurance, etc.

Marriage is the ultimate form of commitment, it's a good idea to get married.

Alot of what you say is true and makes sense, marriage is merely a symbol...like you said, it doesn't (and can't) magically make you love someone more. It's just a symbol of ultimate commitment, forsaking all others to be with one's ain true love. Your parents obviously care a great deal for each other to have stayed together that long so as you say, they don't need that piece of paper to have each others love. Marriage is irrelevant to love.

But here in America the people (much like the stereotypes..even though I hate that word) are really rather old fashioned in their views when it comes to sex before marriage, unmarried couples living together etc. Of course not all Americans are like that, but a good many still do, I feel as though old fashioned people are regarded in this Age of Information as rigid, unyielding and close minded to other points of view...in a way it's nothing new, as with Old World puritan's who settled this country their views were replaced over time by what was thought to be the "new age" line of thinking, rooted in Logic rather than Scripture, this line of thinking was in turn was replaced yet again by something convinced as "better", it's a pattern that continues on and will continue on. The new replacing the old.

At times we as Americans are a paradox of old world thinking and "morality" but at the same time being a godless society, the way alot Americans think is rooted in Scripture. Doesn't make it right or wrong, we are all just different, each view has Truths to it, it's impossible for a view point to be 100% "right" as people have different views on what exactly "right" is. One mans right can be another mans wrong.

I think what Rudster meant was it's one thing to live together and have sex before marriage but when a child is involved things change. If two people live together, have sex 8 times a day and break up after 3 years, no big deal, feelings change and people move on. But a child does not choose to be born, so the parents have a responsibility to raise the child, and it is harder on a child when he doesn't know his father or mother, or is raised in a unstable home or doesn't feel wanted, a burden on everyone even though he/she did not have a choice in the matter. Children need stability, a normalcy.

Granted it's not always like that with unwed couples having children, look at Muz, a perfectly normal, functional person. His parents marital status doesn't change him, he was Blessed with good parents though who cared for him and put forth a effort to give him a good raising. But I think most people feel as though when you are married, you chose to marry that someone because you saw something in them, you see yourself spending the rest of your life with them. Children like marriage is a big responsibility, I think children are a even bigger responsibility than marriage and most Americans feel as though if a person chose to make a massive commitment such as marriage then children should follow suit and the wedded couple are "ready" to bring life to this world.

That's my personal view. Where I grew up in a rural part of the Deep South is the place where the people here are truly very old fashioned, at times to a extreme. I can relate to it more, there is a pining for the simple things, the social rules have a gentility and honor to it, all rooted in a tradition that is impossible to put into words. But as I've gotten older I see the logic and reason of New age stuff. People want to move forward, improve the quality of life by making things easier, faster and cheaper. Not be constrained by a backward and inefficient line of thinking where one set of dusty, rigid and outdated morals are preached, where people can access truly vast amounts of information and "know" more, on any subject under the sun. Make their own decisions on what is right and wrong and erase preconceived ideas, stereotypes and social injustices. The simplicity that is desired...for everyone to simply live as humans, ignore another mans race, color and ethnicity, ignore what his background is, his religion/faith. Accept him for what he is. I love that aspect of the new age thinking, the simplicity of it all. One computer that can replace things like calculators, encyclopedias, dictionary's, cd players, one machine that frees up so much space and saves materials. Anything is within reach, instant gratification at it's finest. Where any one person can explore and do research and decide for his self what morals he wants to live by. Again, one mans perception of Truth is not that of another mans.

I like to fancy myself as a Thinker:)
 
seriously, how hard is it to wait 10min. to call somebody??? im sorry, but i just cant empathize for you, im glad your alright and all, but i see too many of these stupid accidents with somebody dead because they just HAD to talk to their mom/dad/friend/girlfriend/boyfriend or send that last text message, ITS JUST DUMB DONT DO IT, i dont like hearing DOA on the radio as we pull up to a scene, just wait to call somebody, driving isnt a jackoff session its serious, i seriously hope thats been knocked into your head by now, overall though, at least your ok and DONT DO IT AGAIN, next time you could take the life of some innocent other person with a baby in the car, how would you feel if you killed a baby to send that last text??

hope that got the point across, i see this WAY too much... glad your alright
 
Three girls died near where I live not too long ago from texting while they were driving..

yea, it happens waaaaay to often... even the small little fender benders that can cause neck injuries, you could screw somebodies life over just from a dumb text message... that is why i dont have texting, i dont want to get sucked into it... plus i think its better to hear or physically see the person your talking to
