I had a really good quip, but I thought twice and decided not to post it. You find me fascinating and a challenge don't you! I'm used to it. Women find me irrisistable

Good for you, Alias. Restraint is a virtue.

And about how women find you...must be it.

This is non-political," Worcester replies. "These people died for us. If they died in vain, I don't know. But they all deserve our respect."
from the news article Alias shared.


I am pacifist, I know y'all know that. But I do not believe any life died in vain, living for the ideals they believed in, or perhaps sacrificing their own ideals for that of their country.

That account you shared Alias, touched my heart too.

Sometimes people can get so bent on promoting what they believe in they forget what they believe in, ya know?

Thank you Alias.

Did you ever hear of Sgt. York? It's kind of long but well worth the read. He was a pacifist who got the medal of honor in WWI.

I believe mentally stable people can commit suicide.

Unfortunatly my step-brother committed suicide a couple of years ago when he was 18. Now would I say that he was mentally ill...not at all.

I'm so sorry for your loss, RHS. That must have been a very difficult time for your family.

I am also sorry for your loss. Was it a drug overdose? My father-in-law committed suicide 10 years ago and he was depressed and shot himself in the head.
