After decades of searching...there are just way to many rules and a lack of nonconformists or individuals who question authority. If you agree, then this is the place. Haven't been here long, but thought I'd try. Here, you MUST be open-minded and respect others opinions as they should yours..BUT NO PREACHING PLEASE! Discuss anything from mental illness to politics to physics to religion to spirituality...anything goes, but must be open-minded and not easily offended!! Women especially invited...I find them to be much more intelligent; realistic; non-judgmental; open-minded; more common sense; compassionate, etc. than men. Not that men are not invited, this is a place open to ANYTHING, except stupidity and closed-mindedness. Besides, ignorance can be taught, I nor anyone else can fix stupid! Even all musical taste..from Mozart to Marley to Talking Heads to Dead Kennedys...you get the picture...just please take mainstream elsewhere if you tend to get offended or go manic! I don't even mind drug talk. I did it, but over 30 years ago. Now they are legal, cheaper, and better...one of the advantages of getting older and sicker. I don't mind age, but find people closer to my age tend to be more spontaneous and understanding in their conversations...40's, but even the younger may need to vent. What can I say, I had my 60's/70's moment of many drugs and Dead shows, but grew out of it. Just say what is on your mind, but try to remember the practice of compassion, kindness and respect. I am also guilty of this myself, but try to think before talking/reacting and take others feelings into consideration. Fair???? If so, let's get it going!! P.S. I told you about the sex talk...not really interested, and don't try to sell drugs etc., but if sick and need help, there are plenty of resources out there i am sure someone could guide you towards or have direct experience with. Hope to hear from you!
