    Just what is this evil ego?

    Just what exactly is this ego that is so constantly disparaged and shunned? Is it the character who does not realize- has forgotten -- he is the actor? But why throw away a good role? Just realize it's all (a) play and bring the house down. You can always play someone else after the last...

    Can you really fight who you are?

    Can you really fight who you are... and win? ... and is it even worth trying to do?

    Who Are You? (DIR member profiles)

    I thought it would be interesting to try and describe or paint pictures of ourselves for each other. Besides getting to know one another better, it also might be good to know who we might go to for this or that. :cover: Create a profile of sorts. Here are some ideas (pick from the ones you...

    Christmas Considerations...

    In light of what happened last week I find myself considering that it is far better to have your children and no presents at all to give them than it is to have a room full of presents that you bought for your child, and no longer have your child. I know this is obvious, and I certainly don't...

    Poll: Who owes who?

    Which statement/idea resonates most with you? 1. You owe your parents for having brought you into this world. 2. Your parents owe you for having brought you into this world. My guess is that most people would say #1, but at this point in my life I'm much more inclined to go with #2.

    Your Christmas/Solstice/Holiday Tree-

    What do you put on yours? Does it have a theme? How is it decided what ornaments and adornments will or won't go on the tree? Or do you really not care what goes on your tree? What do you like most about decorating a tree? What do you like most about your tree? What, if anything, does your tree...

    'The Sexual Minority' (here on RF)

    This thread is for all of us who (in whatever real way) make up 'the sexual minority'-- to share thoughts, stories, life experiences... both good and bad. GLBTQ, Transexual, Transgender, Polyamorous, Pansexual, some of the obvious, or even anything 'non norm' that you would seriously hesitate...

    POLL: Voting Booth or Kissing Booth?

    also... toll, ticket, photo, diner, isolation, control, and John Wilkes. (because no one likes a 2 party tyranny) Well? Which one, and why?

    POLL- Religion of forum members

    Please answer the following poll if you have nothing better to do. And do not accuse me of being non-inclusive. Or I'll steal your cake and eat your cookies.

    'Belief' is simply 'Going with a thing' (for whatever reason).

    I'm fairly suspicious that 'belief' is more about 'going with a thing', 'embracing it', 'taking it as your own', 'living as if', by choice (or default), than it is about anything else. It is my assertion that 'Belief', actually requires no 'Belief' at all. It is more a MIND SET, that people...

    When intuition trumps reason.

    When intuition- and trust- trumps convention, 'common sense' and 'reason'. From the blog of the lovely Veronica Varlow- http://dangerdame.com/2012/10/29/hurricane-sandy-update-from-mandatory-evac-zone-nyc/ Hurricane Sandy Update from Mandatory Evacuation Zone A in NYC Posted on October 29...

    Christianity in three books.

    If (for whatever reason) only three books of the 'bible' could be saved and printed- which three would you choose, and why? For those of you who believe that only a certain understanding of 'Christianity' will end in salvation from hell- which three books together would (you choose to) best...

    A question for those who do not practice magic-

    For those of you who do NOT practice magic, what are the first things that go through your mind when someone tells you "I practice magic" or "I am a practitioner of magic"? Would your impressions be similar, or notably different if someone told you "I am a witch" or "I am a sorcerer"? Are...

    Anti-choice quesion. Forced gestation = Forced organ donation?

    Does organ donation not require willingness of the donor? Is the nine month gestational period of pregnancy not a prime example of organ donation? Should we really be enforcing organ donation by law? If a child- or anyone with human DNA - could be somehow saved by their shared use of your...

    Not donating the vital use of your organs is murder.

    True? or not true. Are there exceptions? Should it be enforced?

    Yet another hypothetical (moral) scenario...

    If the only way to save a baby from immediate death was to take it that very day, regardless of whatever else may be going on in your life (regardless of your financial situation, regardless of your work schedule, personal plans, other kids or anything else), and adopt it as your own- would you...

    Which is morally better and why?

    Adopting a parentless new born baby or adopting a homeless puppy? Bonus: Would you be willing to do the thing you feel is most moral?

    Self Imposed Labels (religious)

    For the sake of this thread let's stick mostly with 'religious' type labels. Do our labels define us, or do we define our labels? Who are our labels for? The self? or others? What purpose do they really serve? Do our labels serve us? Or do we serve our labels? Do the outside effects our...

    Throwing out The "Happy" Mask

    Do you think most people wear a happy mask to conceal what's missing in their life, even from their own self? Do you think people (on the whole) literally create their own happiness(es)? Or do some people just "get lucky" in life's happy "ideal" game of chance? Is there a difference between...
