Long winded lol...not on a tandem though

Yeppers, it's what I've found too.
But at least, any 'conflicts' of opinion have to be responed to in a 'literary form'...ie, the bloke down the pub might smack you in the mouth for taking an opposite view, whereas here, one has to qualify their arguement in written word (requires more thought and consideration (communique)) - and sometimes, those opinions can be changed in a more informative and constructive way - rather than conform or be outcast.

I live alone.
I have but one 'physical friend', but as far as that goes, I cannot interact with most others (outside of this foruim ), because they are too wrapped up in their own belief systems to open their eyes to the reality of things.
I live alone, because I don't want to conform any more than is absolutely necessary (ie, go to work, be a father) - and I'm seen as being wierd, or summat.

So I'm wierd - who cares? - only those who are so blinkered and brainwashed, that they cannot see the truth if it were a great big sign that said "YOU ARE SHEEP!!! FACE THE TRUTH!!!"

Baaa baaa baaa....

idiots!
