I think they mean disturbing as in, some find religious people disturbing, some find conservatives frightening, some find... etc.

Yeah. I have family that are southern baptist. I'm very close to them, don't get me wrong. Closer than I am with my own Mom.

But the way they raise my cousins, and sheild them from the world is insane.

Their in for a shock when they leave home.

It builds character.

Not the most frightening movie I've ever seen, but it has the most arresting death figurization imaginable.

SureThing said:

definately. the hardships i faced in my life have made me a much stronger person. i used to be EXTREMELY subserviant with absolutely no sense of self-worth as a kid... something encoded in me by my father and paternal grandparents from very early on. and the used to really mistreat me badly because it was so obvious i was gay from very early in. i will never, as long as i live, forget the moment my grandfather told me he would hunt me down and kill me if i became gay in later life because it would be beter that i were dead than a faggot.

i still am a little subserviant and have self-wroth issues, but i am a lot better about standing up for myself than i used to be

I don't know what I'd even think of something like this. Maybe it just comes to show that the word "family" really is just a word in the end. Not that my own grandfather would have been the most open-minded individual either, but I think he had to broaden up his views a bit by having someone like me in the family (not gay, but I've been quite the freak over the years).

religion does funky things to people.

Wow. I can't even imagine how awful that must have been. Your strong for breaking away from that, and being who you are.

I can see my husbands father, saying something like that. If he ever did though, it would be thee LAST time he spoke to my son again.

I know, I think we all have self worth probs that stem from when we were younger. My mom used to make fun of me cuz she was thinner than me. And I've been on a diet ever since.

But whatever the case, were better for it.

Click this, turn the volume up, and dance around the room.

SureThing said:

thanks!

i dont feel bad though, i dealt with all this stuff years ago. now i am pretty apathetic to it. doesn't bother me anymore, nor does it bother me to talk about it. i just choose not to, because it tends to bum the hell out of people i tell it to.

how did you know i llike that kind of music??

I didn't know.

But who wouldn't Smile when they hear that?

It's so fun to dance to.

I betcha Anx'll even crack a smile when he hears it.

I don't know about scary, but the most fuck up movie I've ever scene is
" Clock Work Orange". What the Fuck is this movie about?

I thought, An Inconvenient Truth and Conspiracy Theory were pretty scary.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen rite in the middle of the town.

A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

there would be one long staircase just going up

and one even longer coming down and one more leading no where just for show

It's from Ingmar Bergman's "The 7th Seal". Maybe you'll recognize these captions:
