This forum never ceases to amaze me, no matter the subject somebody knows what you're talking about. I wonder how many people come through here daily..
Yes that was interesting. exactly what I was thinking about....I think what drove you to be with females may have been a component in your make up that was'nt being satisfied. It wasnt enough to make you Gay but it was enough to create a dissatisfaction with the "extremes" of Scottish Culture.
Within this context there isnt many options, you either take up the challenge and become a full on confronter like everyone else or you have to opt out and get labelled.
I'm facing up to these things about Scotland now later in life. I'm looking at how people are just giving into the force of the needs of the culture and become slaves to it. It does'nt seem right, what good does it do in this day and age to be so extreme ? Peoples lives are getting swallowed up by these forces of cultural convergance and they dont seem healthier for it. I've never seen more messed up and drug abusing people as I have in Central Scotland.
Worse the Memetic itself creates a do or die pride which ensures that the strong absolutely rule the social airwaves. Anybody who opts out quitely gets called a "Fag" and anyone who has something to say about it gets called a "nutter".
This makes me think there is little hope here for Balance in living. I took a trip out of Scotland recently and just breathed normality..It was'nt the English that seemed normal though, they seem just as bad, it was the immigrants and minorities flooding the streets of london.
I would just sit in the streets and think "ahhh mentally balanced people, how refreshing...."
