Well, Alco, I have to LOL, because unfortunately COB is right; I do crave love, or liking as well as approval if not necessarily admiration from just about everybody, although, in fairness, not from COB or Donald Trump, other known criminals or my late father&#039;s third wife.

On the other hand, there&#039;s a force in me equally strong, a driving force if you will, that compels me to tell the truth.

Lying to people bothers me.
Even little social lies to avoid hurting someone&#039;s feelings, like, &quot;Yes, magenta looks fine on you&quot; or &quot; No, the ratatouille was not too greasy&quot; give me a feeling of discomfort in the pit of my stomach.

And as for telling lies about important things - forget it.  I can&#039;t.  I don&#039;t even try.

So there you have it, Alco; 2 opposing needs, equally strong.

On the one hand: Needing to be liked/ loved/approved of/admired  by everyone (exceptions listed above) 

On the other: A compulsion to tell my own simple unvarnished truth at all times.

Frankly, its a tangle!
Always has been!

Thanks for defending me though :)

Plenty of love,
Aqua]]></description>

Yes, Mike, Winter Wonderland is a Scientology front. I love how Angry Gay Pope goes down there to enturbulate and keeps getting chased by cult guard Angel.]]></description>

Re: sucking up to people.

&quot;Superb comment, Mat.&quot;
Sheesh!
The low levels to which you will stop to win the admiration of other people. It really shows what a downstat you really are.

Re: being admired by people.

At least people actually love Aquamarine. And she is truly concerned about others.
Not like this one person I know.
Hint, hint.

No love at all,

Re: trashing the SHSBC

For your information, Matty boy, the reason I cancelled the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course is because, one, all LRH did was rant about meaningless stuff like dancing beer bottles and such and two, because whenever someone seizes control of a major religion like I did that person needs to rework the teachings so he can take credit for being the religion&#039;s actual founder. This is why I cancelled the Briefing Course and substituted GAT instead. Never mind that it doesn&#039;t really work! Neither does Super Power! Look at what Brigham Young did for Mormonism after he arranged for that Illinois mob to blast Joseph Smith to pieces! 
So there!

ML,
Dave.

Re: previous comment.

Uh, what?
Dancing beer bottles on the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course?
Brigham Young ordering a hit on Joseph Smith?
Maybe you ought to lay off the scotch.

No love at all,
Alcoboy.]]></description>
