		<description>I kind of agree with Gabriel-g.  I hate to say this but I&#039;ve learned from experience that lying is NOT always the best policy.  Some people are just placed in certain circumstances where lying would be the easiest thing to do. You cant really compare a 40 year old married man with a kid to a 40 year old single man whose never really dated.  And I can honestly say looking back on my life their are time&#039;s that i wish I had lied.  I have a lot of regrets towards a few time&#039;s that I was honest about certain things.</description>

And your &#039;understanding&#039; of everything is SHALLOW, SHALLOW, SHALLOW! You just pretend you&#039;re perfect on the surface but just like priests and the like who also assume such a high ground repressing your TRUE NATURE results in extreme outbursts, eg reckon your&#039;e actually a MURDERER  or a RAPIST or terrorist or somesuch, like a pressure cooker human nature will explode if forced to be &#039;perfect&#039;.. You also don&#039;t know the full story of Ghandi&#039;s life, as i said he actually slept around and had no respect for the women in his life hmmmm. Don&#039;t tell me you neglected to mention you MODEL YOURSELF ON THAT PART SECRETLY TOO OF HIS LIFE?? Go read a book properly and stop being the most shallow imbecile i&#039;ve ever encountered, moralising ego-centric turd that you are...Clearly for you &#039;failure is not an option...no it&#039;s a lifestyle!&quot; ha ha ha</description>

Once again, I forgive you.  ;-)   

I hope you find what you&#039;re looking for.</description>

		<description>Gabriel,

I wrote a much longer email in an attempt to assist you with your issue.  I believe that both Mark and I have made some concrete suggestions that could potentially help you.  Online dating isn&#039;t for everyone, and perhaps with your specific needs, perhaps meeting someone in person would have better results for you.

All of that said, for my site, we are focused on honesty.  It&#039;s something that I&#039;ve promised my members, and it&#039;s a promise that I intend to do my best to keep.

Best of luck to you in your search for whatever it is you&#039;re searching for.</description>

		<description>at a shallow level Buddhism is worshipping of the Buddha and practices of abstinence, on a deeper level Buddhism is about adapting to the ever changing and infinitely fluid nature of reality and having faith that men are at heart in the main good...you have no faith in me but I have suffered more than you will ever do so, and thus i have more compassion than you could ever know..for all your pretensions to buddhism you have the rigid approach of moralising of Christianity.. You are very limited by your narrow/conventional prism of experience and cant&#039; cut me some slack because of your ignorance of my experience/dilemma...
A buddhist story, called &#039;the two frogs&#039;:

Two frogs lived at a pond all their lives and all they ever knew were the carp in the pond, and the only danger they ever knew was a pike fish who lived there too, and a pelican who lived near by. One day one of the frogs got lost and found himself at the Ocean!! He couldn&#039;t believe what he saw, giant whales, terrifying and huge sharks, an ocean millions of times, maybye more, bigger than the pond..FInally after many days he found his way back to the pond and told his friend all that he had seen, and his friend from ego pretended and felt&#039; he understood..But he DIDN&#039;T! When a whale was described all he could see in his minds eye was the carp in the pond, when a shark was described he could only relate it to the image/size of the pike, when he was told of the vastness of the oceans he said &quot;oh i can imagine that, it&#039;s easy!&quot; but his ego hid the fact he could still only see the pond in his minds eye. But one day he too lost his way and found himself at the ocean, and then he really experienced and UNDERSTOOD what these things were...and he was forever HUMBLED&quot;.
How about showing a little humility rather than shallow robotic copying of what you misunderstand Buddhism really is from your limited Western Mind?</description>

		<description>and one last thing Mark Brooks, i know buddhists who &#039;abstain&#039; from violence and so forth yet they, like you, seem to be living in a fantasy world where they IGNORE THEIR IMPERFECTIONS, to quote a Zen Buddhist proverb: &quot;the essence of Zen has nothing to do with morality, a man may sleep with his neighbours wife, steal his neighbours oxen and still practice Zen..Zen is in fact a way of relating to reality and accepting what is, including the dark side of human nature, whilst knowing that man is fundamentally good&quot;.. 
One lie does NOT A BAD MAN MAKE, &quot;ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A SUMMER&quot;, you&#039;re methods of talking back to me are false and idiotic and have actually given me the courage to lie on these sites as your arguments have confirmed you are fantasists and ABOVE ALL THE BIGGEST LIARS! PS mark Brooks, you are just robotically and falsely trying to follow what you conceive of as Buddhism, something I understand at a deeper level than yourself:
&quot;when you meet the Buddha on the road you must kill him&quot;..=  worshipping the Buddha as an icon or any of Buddhisms practices as &#039;set in stone&#039; for all situations/realities is both unrealistic and not Buddhism..thicko</description>
