Where are all the good people gone?
Am I the last of the good people? Everyone seems to be just so horrible and selfish. When I was younger people were less selfish. more giving. Now, everyone counts the cost. Where are the role models?
I'm putting my three volume work on this web-site, "How to be as good as me"
Please don't make the mistake of thinking I'm arrogant, I'm just someone with a lot of experience and knowledge of being good.
I've been reading the threads on this site for many months and it's full of hedonistic excess and people who use their wonderful, creative gifts to splurge their guts on the page rather than accentuate what's good in a cogent, imaginative and more excellent way.
With my volumes on the site I hope to right this anomaly, and bring a goodness to what is potentially a wonderful site.
Please, be good.

There are still good people around, but not all of them are like a chocolate box lid. Some of them are like teatrays and mouse mats. You just have to be open to them.

Did you mention stuffing someone, Fish? Is that Freudian or should I get my embalming kit ready?

You being provocative Mark? Either way it's nice to see you still look in now and then. How i long for those days of yore when there were lots of really interesting discussions going on, with you in the bloody middle fighting like a mad dog!

Mark: THAT man who is revered by many and known by none, never died for my sins. I ain't committed any! So will I not be able to go to heaven? Oh bugger, looks like I'll just die then.
But then again, I want to be remembered by the few for the person I was, rather than the many for a name.
PS welcome back old friend. :>)

Hoooooooooo Missi doe's that mean you don't love us
anymore..........said she...........thinking.........mainly of
.............herself as she leaves a tear stained page.......
Jay
Anyway that mad dog could be you sometimes Missi even
now, also sometimes with great justification, I like it when
you take the middle ground when you still show that you
haven't lost that fighting spirit and your mostly bad then
quite unexpectedly the good and the devil shine through,
which ever since I met you have always thought were there
and when it happen's then I say out loud to myself.
Yes>>>>>Yes>>>>>Yes>>>>>

I don't know about `being good`, your grammar's awful, isn't it?

We is good!
You should read How To Be Good, Icy Nostril/Brenda. My you have been busy with different names today haven't you? The book is by Nick Hornby. But you knew that didn't you, you little teaser.

Kath sweetheart, is it really wise to conduct this affair in public? Especially when that Gardenia guy is watching!
iceman
I saw a girl reading that book on the train. Is it any good?
janeymack
It's a good idea I think but annoying in parts as Nick Hornby tries to see things from a woman's point of view as she gets pissed off with her husband's new age style transformation. Gets better as it goes on but I was a bit disappointed by the end- I'm sure there's many a thread about it in "discuss reading from elsewhere".
back to being Good. Stay at home. Don't eat, drink or wear anything produced by a multinational. Don't drive. Don't speak or communicate with anyone else as it might be taken the wrong way. Give everything you own to charity and urge everyone else to do the same without making them feel uncomfortable and above all avoid the devil in his incarnation that is the internet. easy!

When we drink we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we falls asleep.
When we're asleep we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin we go to Heaven.
So lets all get drunk and go to Heaven!
Mark Yelland-Brown
Actually, it's believing that Jesus died for your sins that gets you to heaven, that and allowing him to live in your heart by faith, simple concept, difficult execution, but spiritually, incredibly fulfilling!
fish
there's one!
quick ... have him stuffed ...

At last I got a reaction and love it when you call me
sweetheart its makes me feel so young and as for the affair
