    WTF? Don't get defensive on me now. It was just a little FYI. I thought you might be interested. I'm not asking for apologies or anything else. What I meant was that your posting style is reminiscent of the younger generation and that I figured you got the quote from a more recent sci-fi movie rather than some other source. Movies are a great source for misquotes. In the back of my mind I was kind of hoping you might have a source for the quote being said by Freud so I could lay the issue to rest in my head. I can't find a definitive answer either way. I'm just guessing it's a take off from the aforementioned quote I verified.

    ken, oh sorry man lol just new at this internet posting thing.
    And if my posting style seems immature again i will work on that.
    its hard to tell emotions from posting so i didnt know how to take your post
    I was just trying to get a point across. Just a average guy who one day was turned on to some interesting subjects about who and what we are. To me its fascinating to discover the reality of the world we live in, I guess its harder for some to accept what scientific evidence has been shown to us that contradicts some belief systems .We only know what information we have been exposed to.

    No problem. I was thread-jacking anyway.

    Doug, I was not being sarcastic or attacking you in any way. I enjoy reading text with the proper spacing and capitalizations because they let me know of when a sentence (read new thought) begins and when one ends. It allows me to read faster, to scan and pick up information without having to check whether I've past a sentence or not. When you jumble up your spacing, for example, starting a sentence with a lowercase letter and having no space before the period and the first letter of the next sentence, it confuses my brain into thinking the two sentences you wrote are one. Then I realize my mistaken, as have to go back and read while CONSCIOUSLY watching for the same deviant punctuation. Your posts abound with shortcuts that aid you in writing them, but are determental to the assimilation of knowledge by the reader. Ie. not seperating key thoughts with a full line...

    I don't know, me explain this stuff is so basic that I think you might take it as an attack against your personhood. But I am not. It takes a little effort on your part, but allows the common reader such as myself the ability to not pass over 50 lines of text because it isn't within the proper structure we are accustom to.

    As Kenyth said, all this info is just FYI. It seems to me that you have a chip on your shoulder and need to loosen up or you might lose your marbles. This population of people you have come across at CigarSmokers are level headed human beings who are using this medium as a communication aid. Period.

    PS - I will not have a conversation with you if you don't conform to my requests.

    Fair enough. My grammar does suck indeed. But as long as my points were made I am satisfied.
    No chip on my shoulder,But sometimes I am thinking faster than I am writing and may sound aggressive. I would be the first person (when I am reading)to bitch about run on sentences. So I hear ya. Plus I feel even though the grammar might suck( mine or whoever) and if they are making points that can be understood, hopefully the information is useful even if you have to read it twice.
    There is no need to continue with this conversation anyway, for I feel it would be pointless.
    Thanks for the advice!

    See you on the other threads.
    Enjoy Life!
    peace
    Doug
    BTW If anyone wants to continue on this thread feel free. If I read something that I feel I can contribute to I will.
    I will try to use better grammar. (as long as no one takes cheap shots at my posting skills )
    Anyway have fun!
