>just because I don't, dosn't mean that I won't, just that I don't often

thus, because occasionally you do, it mean you cannot be sad. yay!

So I may do somthing but what if I never drink because of the princaple?

-- DoctorMO --

the choice to be teetotal is all good, plus you can be the designated driver! at least one person will be safe, and the sober one is the one that remembers what everyone else did, which leads to much amusement and bribery!

so the not drinking thing is not in question. it's the anti-social thing. i mean, once in a while you've gotta just go out and dance about like a fool to let off some steam. sociable is good in my opinion, but all things in moderation.

hmmm, you must have a "Every ones the same" kind of atatude, what If I prefare to let off steam by going round to a friends and talking about Quantom Phisics and the State of Intanglement?

I realy would think that your being monolistic!

-- DoctorMO --

everyone's the same.

i object.

if my opinion was even halfway to thinking that individuality was dead, then why would i even be arguing the point? come on. if i was the same as eveyone else i'd be very boring. but you say you go round to friends? that's my point. you don't hide away and let the world pass you by.

just on a separate note, you discuss quantem physics, yet you can't spell it? interesting.

It's an interesting little anomily called dislexia, and it means tht while I can full comprahend thousands of words, I can only spell hundreds, and it will take years for my spelling to get to normal levels. But this means that my brain has alot more power for creative art and scientific thinking, throw in some philosphy and Mathamatics and you've got some of the main things that make me no so boring. BUT some of the people that I have talked to, do think that because I have a very narrow radius of friends, i.e 4 or 5 at any one point, and I don't go out at weekends or drink (although there is a good reason for this) people think that I don't have a life for some reason, and by the way you were putting your point accros in prevouse posts, you sounded alot like these local 'people'.

-- DoctorMO --

ok, fine. i can accept if there's a genuine reason for the spelling errors , i just don't want to be lumped in with 'other people'. i prefer to stand alone, in a individual kind of way. and i never said you had to have loads of friends or go out drinking. in fact, i remember saying you in fact did NOT need to drink to enjoy yourself.

my position is, i enjoy going out and drinking, but i am equally happy just sitting in front of my computer or the tv for hours on end, being very 'anti-social'. when i'm at home in the summer i rarely drink, because i drive. but when i'm at university i do drink. i don't do the 'drink till i'm ill' thing because i feel that's childish and pointless, and i've done it before, and it's not nice. i mean, i'm 20, i should know how to handle my alcohol, right?

ok, now onto friends... how many friends you have is not the point. it doesn't matter how many, so long as you can find time socially to get to know other people and share interests and whatever. what you talk about, how 'sad' you're considered to be by others, where you go, whether you do what all the 'sheep' at school do, doesn't matter. what matters is that you're happy with your choices and enjoy what you do with your time.

there, does that make it clearer? people shoudl accept you for who you are.

I fully agree with what you said, and I think we got our wires corssed some were, It's a shame that because most people don't have any guts, they think it gives then the right to be critical when other people do...

-- DoctoRMO --

yes, i think we must have. hey ho, never mind

and yes, most people are sheep. !

time for another, less antagonistic topic i think...

heard about that university team, that are finding out what natural inviroments and other farm animals, would like to live in.

hehehe, Darwin will have somthing to say I'm sure.

-- DoctorMO --

They should try testing theories like that on students!

Yes that would be 'interesting'

hehehe, maby we could find out what to do with some of the people round here, some of them make you wish for ugenics, j/k

-- DoctorMO --

lol!

I enjoy pleasing people.

I take you have met some of these 'things' too ?

-- DoctorMO --

yep. DON'T talk to me about small annoying people. i work with a couple.

there is nothing small about some of the people I 'know', and I consider that there brains must have melted away in all this widnes toxic fumes before they were 5.

-- DoctorMO --

well, i imagine that to make up for the fact that their bodies are large, other areas must be small. like their brains for example lol!

We've all known that for a long time.
