Somehow, I did not detect an ounce of sarcasm in this statement. Just remember tho, that Barbie Dolls get old and worn out and tossed aside eventually.Quote:

Thank you, thank you pomtzu for illustrating my point about sweeping generalisations EXACTLY. :D
Why can’t I be tall and skinny and happy? And then why can’t I get old and ‘worn’ and still be happy?
Why can’t I be English and a good person, why can’t I have any understanding of American politics because I‘m not American, why can’t I possess a brain to read Latin and legs for the catwalk, and why can’t I agree with the person that isn’t always agreed with by the majority?
Just some of the unanswered questions I find myself asking lately on this site.
Meh, in simple terms, I’m on this thread because I was ‘miffed’ (yep! Said it!) about seeing what I consider comments beyond a joke, and when I myself have, I admit, made comments in the same vein, I practically had my nose bitten off. So continue to ignore or pick at my posts all you wish. By my heel, I care not.
Obviously you missed my point, but that's okay - no need to pursue it.Quote:

You are beautiful and smart and more power to ya, I wish I was a little taller a little skinnier and I have no problem being less "real" :D.Quote:

The thread was a joke, no need to take umbrage, Miss Z. After all, my roots include English, Scottish, French and lots else, so I could choose to be offended or not! wombat has just come back from being away for a long time, so likely isn't up on all your accomplishments of the last couple years anyway!
Anyone who thinks you are less than human just because you are tall and skinny is likely just envious, secretly! Just make sure you don't slouch, which I know you've probably heard your whole life, but the lady I used to nanny for ended up with back problems later in life because when she was young, she slouched a lot to try to appear not as tall.
Anger management might be a solution.Quote:

I don't hold a grudge against anyone, especially a kid fresh outta the box that thinks that book smarts and leeching off their parent's good nature make them better than most.
If you have gone ahead and been a bee-yotch to people below your station in life you should know that what goes around, does come around.
Seriously,
I don't give you a second thought because I am still laughing about my first thought- after you hear a joke the first time, you laugh out of common courtesy the second lap 'round.
I do believe that children should be seen and heard.
That way you know who said what, and you can apply the appropriate cuff to their head.
A ballistic metacarpal/cranial fusion.
"tall and good looking" don't mean squat unless you have the whole package, brains, humilty, and common sense.
I'll give ya 40%.
Which in American baseball is a good thing.
I don't know you from Adam or Eve.
So, how could I ever hold a grudge against someone I would not align myself with in a million years?
Wait, how long is an epoch?
And I really like being short.........:p
And was never envious of anyone that is tall.
"Tallness" is secondary compared to things like a sense of humor, common sense and stuff like that.Quote:

Being tall has two distinct advantages. You know when it rains before anyone else and know when the people above you have a bowel movement?:(:o:mad:
I never took any of Missz's post to imply that she thinks she is better than anybody else.
Richard your comment is pretty rough, yeah she has the support of her parents, well not all kids put that to good use. I have two and one did not do much with that opportunity the other reminds me of missz academically and trust me they have to work hard to accomplish those things. That drive shown at a young age shows a lot about a person, I sure didn't have that.
Now can we stop referring to her as a kid, if she committed a crime she would be an adult.
So what?Quote:

And she has every right to answer back in kind. I am sure her maturity will allow her that chance.
Hey, I used serve Mass in LATIN. And that didn't make me a better teen, Catholic or adult.
And by the way? My battles with Sara were give and take and I respected her for that. She never brought up looks, intelligence or how far apart her feet were from the top of her head. So I tip my hat to her in that respect.
I tend to admire people more for the fire they bring to a fight, not the mirror they hold in their hands..
P.S.
I don't discriminate against Barbie. How can you dislike an plastic icon?
I really hated G.I. Joe, tho...
He got to blow up stuff.;)
Karen,
The joke was funny. My ancestry is Welsh, and the kind of jibes I get when I tell people that are certainly not for this board - and ya know what, they are funny too! :eek:
But the thread went beyond a joke, didn’t it, when we use the joke as an excuse to start venting our frustrations about particular groups of people. Hear me out on that one.
I’m sorry I appear so disruptive and I appreciate the fact that you shouldn‘t have to keep pacifying threads like this.
I fight my own corner. I use metaphors that people don’t like. Boo hiss me. :D
RICHARD,
Hmm, I can’t find the part where I said appearances meant anything. Given a choice between a secluded life in a lab synthesising peculiar chemicals, and a life pouting and posing, I’d gather up my brains and run. I turned down 3 modelling contracts this past year, because I do not value myself in that way. Not that you will think anything of that. But if it helps me to explain what I mean (which I find that these days you find difficult to understand), then sobeit.
I never claim to be holier than thou. I put that down to perhaps leeching some morals from my parents. :rolleyes:
What do you know of my parents or upbringing anyway? Good grief.
I do find people can act in a pathetic manner, and I do mock those who try to discredit me. The difference is, I’m perfectly happy to then agree with, or have a laugh with, those people in another situation. That applies fully to Mr Delightful, the OP of this thread, even though he evidently has no such regard for me. I don’t forget the nastiness people have shown me, but I am happy to accept that they, or I, will grow and change.
Friend or enemy, I will pick you up on something I believe is wrong. Friend or enemy, I will let you be otherwise.
But I see how it is. Perhaps grudge was a strong choice of word for what is, after all, nothing more than online dialogue. Call it what you will, then. I have sided with Sara on plenty of occasions whilst she was disagreeing with you, and I expect you saw that as me trying to be some sort of wannabe. I’m firm in my opinion and don’t hesitate to spit at people I think are being disrespectful. You don’t like that. That is your business.
I don’t need you to evaluate my personality, qualities and weaknesses, for by your own admission, you do not know me. Same as you, I log off PT, get up, and go live life.
