Being kind is practical. There's no effort in giving kindness to another person. No one has to please anyone by being kind, it's showing consideration and respect for another human being because this is a forum filled with all kinds of different people. People may or may not agree but they can at least be kind to one another. No one's asking anyone to change who they are. IP: Logged |

LMAO it's all right, happens all the time. It's probably because I like to mingle with all these lovely ladies so much that I come across as one. (But Betty Boop, I'm flattered that you remembered. ) IP: Logged |

I want to mention some key points here quickly,1) This thread made no mention of any LL member. It's shining a light on an issue that has been around this forum for a while. And definitely before some of the newer LL members made their appearance. 2) If you had read my clarification, you would see that I encourage the sharing of experiences. And of course some will be subjective, sometimes those that involved our emotions for a time (for example a bad experience with people with a certain placement), or more objective, as in the research that we've done. These are both valid. It is up to --the reader-- to sort out what makes sense for them and what doesn't regarding their experience. They should also be able to filter out personal bias on an as-needed basis when taking in information. This takes more time to acquire for some, but it is possible. We have to do this every time we hear from the news media regarding any issue. This is a positive skill to have And LL is a good place to exercise that ability, especially when we speak of this subject which has many variables inherent in each placement/sign/house/aspect. Which is why I recommend owning or having access to a book on correspondences. 3) If you are going to take every astrological assertion made here as fact, then you are doing yourself a disservice. There are too many people here, with too many differing opinions, to be able to accept it all as "true and unquestioned at all times." This is crazy-making. Save yourself the trouble. I'm starting to reiterate my clarification from page 2 so I will end this point now. 4) And finally, if you did skip over my clarification on the issue, read this: One's perception should never be misinterpreted as the perception of the majority, or even the minority. I'll add in also, "one's experience." . . . For fans of analogies If you are Republican, would you take as solid and factual everything that CNN reports. if you are Democrat, would you take as solid and factual everything that FoxNews reports. If you have a brain, would you be more likely to respect the reporting of the BBC? [ A curveball ] ^ Let's get objective on the *real issue* here and learn to filter. It will help you on LL, and elsewhere Thanks to everyone who responded

I wasn't aware we are living in a George Orwellian 1984 world, where everything thrives in a topsy turvy dystopian atmosphere.
In sticking to the Rupert Murdoch reference and curved ball analogy, I personally much prefer Sky News. IP: Logged |

Dump on me and the only cheek I'll be turning is yours. I uphold my right to vigorously defend my honour against all libelous statements, whether explicit or indirect. Do it a bit too often and I will go for the jugular. Nobody dictates the rules by which I operate, and nobody controls my ability to speak and voice my opinion on any subject matter at any time.IP: Logged |

There's no need to go for the jugular.I get sick of hearing about Gemini Venus' supposedly cheating, scheming ways. I do, but I've been reminding myself that a huge chunk of the world is not paying attention to things like that, and even finds sunsign astrology pointless. I don't like anyone assuming things about me, but should they, and avoid me? Then they miss out on a pretty nice person. IP: Logged |

YoursTrulyAlways and Faith,No one is arguing with you. No one is trying to impose what you can say and what you can't. No one is infringing on your rights to free speech. But just remember that as this is a forum, that Randall has the ability to issue warnings, and you may be banned in an attempt to "go for the jugular." So you do so at your own discretion.

I am venus in Gemini and I am SO loyal. I don't care what they say about it because I know that I will throw myself under the bus when I love. This is Cancer moon and Mars but so what if people think your placements are bad. YOU have to know who you are!

As far as I'm concerned this argument is about not giving offense by making definitive, concrete, negative statements about people about who have certain things in their chart.If they keep doing it, I call that instigating an argument. If they instigate, I also reserve the right to contradict them as I see fit, and an argument might ensue. I think it's strange to be pro-instigation and anti-reply. Nip it in the bud and be polite....problem solved. IP: Logged |

Well it was certainly worth a shot. If astrology has taught us anything, it's that we are all individuals and we all take a different approach. Such is life. Tact is simply impossible or too difficult a task for some, and I guess we shouldn't beat them up for it. C'est la vie, eh?

There is the not-so-little matter of being able to filter out personal bias, as needed. And must it be a fight, or can it be a debate?IP: Logged |
