Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 > I had meant that often people have a gaggle of children or even one and then edlessly complain (because what they really wanted was the attention a baby brings) they want to displace the child as them having the spotlight and the child becomes a rival. the rolling stons sang mothers little helper, some (not all) mothers use their children to draw attention to themselves, or they thought that patenting idea sounded good until they had to pull out the pooper scooper. i find perople are often confused about what they really want from a thing. Aspies tend to be more honest about what they want. If they want attention for themselves they seek it, they don't use people as vehicles for unnamed desires. People at Large view progeny in the wrong way, they are dependant by their very definition yet how many people do we know (at large) that use their children as the parent. I had meant to expsoe the facts we already know people lie. those lies are often not only verbal but place life at risk for selfish feeling based reasons which they don't even bother to acknowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with seeking clarification. I had noticed those same errors, but knowing how they happened, I didn't pay much attention to them. Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.

Rose That's a very good point. Do you know the number one reason why people buy a Toyota Prius, the hybrid electric car? Because owning one makes it look they care about the environment. Actual fuel savings and economy are number 3 on the list. In other words, a good thing has been corrupted into a "I'm better than you" fashion statement. I have also heard convincing arguments that this next election will be decided not on the merit of the candidates, but the narcissism of the voters. There will be a lot of people who will turn this election into a fashion statement about themselves, so that in future they can say "I voted for the first woman (or African American) President." Talk about a shallow way to decide things. But that is what our culture is turning in to. very little unity and a lot of ME, ME, ME!!! Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.
