Because you can't help it. There might be some meds that could help, but I'm not sure which ones. Something for OCD?

I write the WAY I DO, just like 'you' write the WAY YOU DO.

And, if you can NOT help the WAY you write, then so be it. But if you think medication WILL HELP, then absolutely NO one is STOPPING 'you' from FINDING OUT.

Also, WHY do those who can NOT argue AGAINST what is SAID or CLAIMED resort to LOOKING AT other completely IRRELEVANT 'things'?

Yet you said that you only write that way to annoy people.

Where, EXACTLY, did I say this?

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am I write normally, with no affectations.

And what is the 'normally' here in relation to, EXACTLY?

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am If I write a word in capitals it means I'm emphasising that word.

So, we BOTH do 'this' for the EXACT SAME REASON.

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am There's really no other way to do that in this format. Italics give a slightly different effect.

Okay, if you say and believe so. But "others" say there are OTHER WAYS.

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am You just randomly capitalise anything, for no apparent rhyme or reason.

There are REASONS. Which would come to LIGHT, if there was ANY one Truly INTERESTED, ENOUGH.

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am It makes your posts almost impossible to read. Reading shouldn't be hard work.

But, reading, itself, is NOT so-called "hard work".

And, WHY do some of 'you', posters, here find it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to read words when they have capital letters?

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:32 am You could always prove others wrong and write ten posts in a row with NO capitalised words-- just to show that you can do it. Simple really.

But I have absolutely NO INCLINATION AT ALL to PROVE "others" Wrong, regarding this ABSOLUTELY INSIGNIFICANT and TOTALLY IRRELEVANT 'thing'.

Like Hitler, Putin appears unable, or lacking the desire to stop advancing along his chosen path, however risky it may look.

BUT, from "vladimir putin's" perspective, he is just stopping the "other side" from advancing along their chosen path.

And, to "vladimir putin" he is NOT 'advancing', he is just claiming back and 'uniting' what WAS united and is being BROKEN UP.

That's exactly what's happening here.

NATO broke it's promise it made to not expand into fallen X soviet union territory. That NATO did expand was seen as an advancing threat, and nature being what it is, which is a bloody meat grinder, responds in kind, in the kindred spirit it is, it takes flight or it fights. Most occupants here on earth choose to fight when they are being threatened. Tit for tats can quickly turn into full blown cat fights, animals get spooked very easily, and when they are spooked they go nuts, it's just the nature of the beast to survive at all cost, even if that cost means losing your own life. Most people, just cannot accept their true animalistic predatory nature. That's all that's going on here on this occupied planet. ''Occupied'' being the operative word. Sentient life is never free, simply because all 'form' is simple fodder for this meat grinder that is nature. What's free about the desire to live just to die in the end. A desire to be free for what? for nothing at all.. It's a stupid game played by a fool, occupation is a fools paradise...in my opinion.

The only free people are the dead people, the only good person is a dead person.

Yes, we know, guy: you'll cut & run at the drop of a hat. Some bruiser sez gimme, and you do.

Some bruiser did. I was in the back seat of a taxi, faced with a knife to the throat by the driver. A 38 special easily penetrates a car seat and taxi driver.

There's a difference between defense and belligerence. You apparently don't know what it is. You talk tough. I'd like to see you in the clutch.

Only an idiot fights when there is nothing to gain. You can have your bar fights and pretend that's bravery. I regard the one who knows the difference between what's important and what isn't and will make the right choice no matter what anyone else says or thinks about them the truly heroic.

Everyone wonders why the Jews didn't leave those countries during ww2 where the holocaust happened to them. Many did leave, but those who stayed and suffered believed the lie you are spreading--that it's a virtue to suffer and die for something when there is no possibility of winning, and even if you could win, you'd never know or enjoy it. That's not brave, it's stupid and produces lots of widows and orphans.

That's not true. They had nowhere to go. Other 'holier-than-thou' countries like England and the US wouldn't take them, or only took a minuscule number of them. I think this piece of rock only took a paltry 200. It's not always possible to 'just leave' your country.

That's partially true, and I was only referring to those who quiescently refused to see what was happening, closing their eyes and doing nothing. I don't blame them, I have no idea of their motives, but it was a mistake and a terribly costly one.

There were certainly many who could have fled, because many did and tried to get others to go with them, who simply refused to go.

You are right, however, that the holocaust was made possible as much by those countries that closed their eyes to what was happening as Germany was.

There are reports that fighting-age men are not allowed to leave Ukraine.

Actually this isn't at all far fetched. World leaders (especially despotic ones) are generally the most inadequate and shallow of creatures behind closed doors and out of the public eye.

And you KNOW this HOW, EXACTLY?

I've read accounts and books by people who knew them and studied them. You do realise that they have private lives, don't you, and that there were many people who knew them personally? Stalin had most of his family slaughtered. The women close to him had a habit of committing suicide. His own daughter had to flee to the US because she truly believed that he was planning to have her murdered. He forced those around him to become hopeless alcoholics while he barely drank. That doesn't speak 'normal, well-adjusted person' to me. Hitler had a bizarre relationship with his niece, and she ended up killing herself too. He was a drug-addicted nonentity in real life who bored those around him to distraction with his droning monologues that could go on for hours. There is a book about Putin called 'The man without a face', and how he seemed to just 'appear' out of nowhere. Perhaps he took the title to heart, hence his obsession with making his face as ridiculous as possible. He traded in his wife for someone half his age, and he appears to have an obsession with Russian gymnasts. The saying 'Power corrupts........' is one of the truest and most insightful sayings ever uttered. The human race needs to grow up and abolish leaders altogether. Just have collectives who administer the wishes of the population--as they have in Switzerland, where the 'leader' role is nominal.
It goes without saying that anyone who lusts after power over others has a seriously flawed character.

WHO, in what is (wrongly) called "right mind" would write things like; ' 'you', human beings ', ' in the days when this was being written ', and/or ' could NOT YET SEE what thee ACTUAL Truth of 'things' IS, EXACTLY '?

What do 'you' think or ENVISION would be the reason of WHY I write THE WAY I DO?

I think you write the way you do because your brain is hardwired to enjoy pissing off everyone it can by being what it believes is cute without concern for what others think as long as they are annoyed by the unconventional way in which you write and think, so to SPEAK.

The post starts with thinking, not with knowing. Anyway, the author naturally knows her own thoughts.
