"A bridge will show you how to fall / More than one good person you can call..."

I choose the hard way always and it pleases me. I think that is what I call decency.

I've never killed a man/woman so yes.

You come across as softer than you make it out to be, and I like you for that. As for me? I don't know. I never intentionally hurt anyone, and I never would. Sometimes I have way too much patience with people, but that doesn't necessarily make me decent.

I would certainly think I was an utter prick. But I'd still have a pint with me and possibly play some sexy games. I'm well fit me.

gmku 06.10.2007 11:22 AM

Yeah. I'm easy going, tolerant, patient, personable. Basically nice. But I have my faults--worst trait, I can be a little selfish. And I find there are many times I'd rather be alone than associate with friends, relatives, and so on.

Hip Priest 06.10.2007 11:23 AM

I generally think of myself as someone who tries to be a decent person.

gmku 06.10.2007 11:24 AM

It makes me wonder if I'd turned out differently without my Catholic boyhood. I mean, I rejected all that by about 18 or so, but it must have shaped how I behave somehow. I still feel a lot of Catholic guilt.

I think pretty much everyone here could relate to that.:cool:

brother gmku, you're simply an introvert. that does not equate with selfishness. it's some people's selfish interest to surround themselves with people.

I don't think so.
I only go good with other people not another me.

It's not surprising. Catholicism and guilt go hand in hand. Jesus died for "our" sins, remember. :rolleyes:
Islam on the other hand, deals with shame.
I don't mean any of this in a bad way, by the way.
It's just what I've notice about certain religions and how they work on peoples minds.

oh yeah, you hero! It's a constant struggle for me too.

Maybe it's Catholic guilt what I mean by "the hard way"...I don't know. One thing I think is decency with ourselves and our ideas (which is what I meant) and another decency with others. The "with others" part comes pretty easy for me. It's me the one that has a problem with myself. I find myself too weak.

Toilet & Bowels 06.10.2007 08:53 PM

generally yes, but i don't think i'd like myself particularly much if i met myself.

eatmychild 06.12.2007 07:16 AM

I'm unfit for society. I'm perverted and sick. I'm a disgusting cunt, a vile prick. J'ai honte que je sois. Je me deteste, je suis affreux.

That's what I think of myself from other people's perspective, but I'd think I'm fucking cool.

soapbars 06.12.2007 07:43 AM

i generally think of myself as the nicest cunt you'll ever know,
